Until I saw them in their championship game yesterday, I didn't realize they were good.  Is Sampson their coach?

At any rate, it is always good to see a Cougar basketball team do well.

Yeah, it hurts. But best year since 1984. And they finally got a good coach. Great facilities coming. Been a long time coming.

I guess I didn’t drink enough. Heartbreaker, especially when missing three free throws with the lead in the last few seconds did you in. But a solid season. Hopefully better days ahead.
The rules of distinction were thrown out with the baseball cap.  It does not lend itself to protocol.  It is found today on youth in homes, classrooms, even in fine restaurants.  Regardless of its other consequences, this is a breach against civility.  A civilized man should avoid this mania.

Did anybody ever ask Sampson why he didn't defend the inbounds passer?
You may ask yourself, "How do I work this?"

I didn’t hear him say why, but guessing he wanted five defenders and make them chuck up a desperation 3-pointer.  It worked in that sense.

Aggies moving on with an impressive win over North Carolina. 

Syracuse, the last team selected for the tournament, earns a spot in the Sweet 16 taking down Michigan State.

Cincinnati stomps the ever loving piss out of their dicks and blow a 20-something point late game lead to snatch defeat away from Nevada.

Well, 4 of the 6 brackets are busted before we get to the second weekend.  Still hoping Nova can keep from running into a Cinderella. 
Always ready to go to a game.

Getting a lead in the 2nd half is apparently not a good plan.

I really only watched Texas all year, but I watched a lot of action over the weekend.  Maybe Kansas and Nova are elite, maybe, but parity rules.  Seton Hall, UVA, Cincy, UNC ....... there's not much difference between a 9 seed playing well and them.

Michigan makes the final game. They didn't need two missed free throws and a desperation three at the buzzer this time. Kansas and Villanova set to go in the nightcap.

Well, I was able to win the bracket this year.  Now if I could only transfer my luck from the Lid & this into my fantasy baseball team.......
