Since UCLA choked in the 2K Sports Classic, there will be a vintage championship match between the great Duke Blue Devils and the infamous scandal ridden time out calling Michigan Wolverines. Now, this isn't the 1992 NCAA championship game, where we won by 20. But, as a sports fan and movie fan, I wanted to see if there were any possible connections between us beating Michigan in a championship game and the Oscars. So, the last time we destroyed Michigan in a championship game, Clint Eastwood completely dominated the Oscars with Uniforgiven. He was nominated for best Director (w) and Actor. Unforgiven was nominated for a total of nine and went on to win four. Perhaps if Duke wins tomorrow, we might see Clint return to form with one of his two films. He probably has a better chance with Gran Torino, since he is directing and starring in the film (and Changeling half way sucks). Given this completely accidental, merely correlated, and slightly illogical connection, we can reasonably predict that Clint Eastwood will be rooting for Duke tomorrow night. So, if I were you, I would also root for Duke or Dirty Harry will get ya.
