One word. Truly chaotic.

Making Sense Of The Early ACC Basketball Standings

After a little over a week of conference play, the early Atlantic Coast Conference basketball standings look like this.

Some thoughts:

Looks like we're a football conference after all. The only undefeated teams in the ACC are FSU and Notre Dame. Coming on the heels of a great bowl season, it's fitting that the two schools with perhaps the most storied football programs sit at the top.

Indefinite Means 1. Someone should update Merriam-Webster and Urban Dictionary, as Coach K single-handedly and permanently redefined the word with Grayson Allen's indefinite-turned-one-game suspension. Here's to hoping "one" and "indefinite" are interchangeable when it comes to the amount of class periods your professor allows you to miss this upcoming semester as well.

Tech pulls a Tech. Immediately after beating the Allen-less Blue Devils, the Hokies turn around and lose to NC State by 26. They're flirting with March Madness this year but we'll see how long that lasts. But hey, if they don't there's always a spot for them in the NIT.

Maybe Louisville should keep recruiting kids by offering them strippers and prostitutes. The only winless team left in the conference, top-10 ranked Louisville is having some trouble without all the fun that comes from breaking multiple NCAA rules . Plus UVA absolutely destroyed them as well.

The ACC is tough. We all know, or at least hope, the Hoos are right up there at the top of the conference, but there are a multitude of good teams. The conference could potentially put 11 or 12 teams into the NCAA 64-team tournament, and the regular-season champion could conceivably have 4 or 5 losses (aside from the utter certainty that UVA wins out and finishes the regular season with a conference record of 16-2 of course). And, consequently, it's only going to get more hectic.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.
