Hey DUers I'm watching Eli Manning being interviewed at a cricket

[malaise]

match in Antigua. He's at the Stanford regional tournament. This is unbelievable. He says it' the first time he's ever watched cricket. Talking about the Giants parade now.

1. At least he's not being interviewed BY a cricket

It could be funnier, but not much.

Why is a Stanford regional match in Antigua, and what possible connection does Eli have with Stanford?

[malaise]

2. Stanford lives in Antigua

He's actually Sir Alan Stanford (Antigua knighthood) - Texas Stanfords - Stanford Investment Company - the series is being showed in the US for the first time through Fort Collins Colorado. Every night he has more persons who have won tickets from Colorado - families or couples.

We have long wondered about his interest in regional cricket. Cuba was supposed to play but the US government told Stanford they could not play.

Wish I knew his link to Manning.
