Jesus Christ is back of these all.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6583</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I remember last year we looked on screen and we saw we had to play Connecticut on their home court. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35242]]></link><description><![CDATA[I remember last year we looked on screen and we saw we had to play Connecticut on their home court.
