Smack Zone

Ax
Never doubt the Ax. In between watching reruns of SI Swimsuit Issue: The Video on TNT, I scored more Smack Bucks last week than Morris scores on a typical Friday night at Beta. Watch as she and Goldenberg bend over and take it again this week. As for their Smack reign, as Ice Cube would say, "It's over, bitch!" Women's b-ball beats Columbia ($800), while men's hockey will sweep Clarkson and St. Lawrence ($500 each), as Westie turns away 50 shots on the weekend ($500). Has anyone else noticed that the Knicks have won four straight? Put $750 on each of their games this week. Oh, and $10 says Louis' mom wants me. ($10 will pay for it, right, Lou?). Last Week: +$1,210. Current Balance: $3,715.

Goldenberg
Do you listen to Will Smith? Did you like "Summertime" or "Gettin Jiggy Wit' It"? If the answer to these questions is "yes," I'm sure you'll join me in support of Miami this weekend as they exterminate the Huskies. I've got Tim James scoring 20 ($2,000) as the'Canes walk over UConn ($500). Watch as the Blazers put a hurtin' on the golden eagles Big Willie Style ($2,000). Yale's own version of the Fresh Prince, Isaiah Cavaco, will dish out five and score 15 as Yale takes it to Cornell ($2,000). Oh, and Joey "The Carlton" Ax will once again be denied as his B-hoops squad gets smoked. Last Week: -$4,500. Current Balance: $9.

Morris
"Hi, I'm Joey Ax and I'm bitter, because everyone else in sports scores way more than I do." A wise white man once said, "You gotta know when to walk away and know when to run." Start running, boys. You have clearly been abused by the resident diva of the bunch. I'm going to place my confidence in the only boys around here with balls...the basketball team, that is. They'll trounce Columbia ($750) and Cornell ($500). Men's hockey picks up at least one win this weekend ($750) and a bonus ($500) if they take both. And $10 says Z-man is the coolest guy on the Herald. (It's a sure thing.) Last Week: +$4. Current balance: $5,754.

Sam Singer Guest
Although this is my official Herald debut, I've been editing all year through my subliminal manipulation of executive editor Carl Bialik. As proof, this week's Index doesn't resonate like last week's ($500). Goldenberg thinks the South can play sports, but for real basketball, watch Tulsa beat Rice by five ($1000) and Oklahoma defeat Kansas ($1000). St. John's will beat Georgetown by eight ($1000). Also, Tiger Woods will crush Nick Faldo in match play ($1000), and Goldenberg's Crimson Tide will be pounded by Mississippi ($500). Last Week: -$4,500. Current Balance: -$540. Sam Singer, JE '01, got here because he sleeps with Carl Bialik, though he claims to have won this week's Pick the Pros.
