It's the most wonderful time of the year (NCAA tourney, baby!)
 
Seems like the first Friday is always the day for upsets in the tourney. Two 12 seeds and two 13 seeds won their first game (all in Tampa at one location - how I would have loved to have been there), a couple on dramatic buzzer beaters in OT.

Duke is right now on the ropes, down 11 to West Virginia with only 3 minutes to play.

Greatest sports event every year.

I'm not really a big fan of NCAA Basketball - but something about Final Four time is awesome...

Still boring overall, but gotta love UCLA decimating Mississippi Valley. Mississippi mad 13 field goals. UCLA blocked 13 shots. Damn.

Boring???? Boring????? That Stanford-Marquette game today was simply SWEET! Duke getting upset in the second round? Two 13 seed and two 12 seeds winning? And you say BORING?!?!?!?!?!

Please check your pulse.

Boring. Amateur players making amateur plays where the most exciting moments are about pure luck. Yawn.

Yeah, I just can't find the excitement in college basketball. But if that's your game, then cool. We all enjoy the things we enjoy.

The funny thing for me this week was that on Thursday a coworker started trash talking me about the tournament and picks, etc. And always being game I was doing some trash talking back with what little knowledge I have about this year's participants (not a lot but I absorb stuff). Anyway, late yesterday she did again and finishged with something about me being in last place in the pool. So I had to say "what the heck are you talking about?" I didn't even know there was a pool going at the office. There's a Greg in the office with my last name. Turns out the only thing she noticed was the last name and thought it was me.

So, apparently even though I didn't even know about their pool, I trash talked it pretty well.

Well, to each their own, GD.....I love this stuff. Much more exciting than professional sports.

I'm so disgusted by Gonzaga giving away the game yesterday. Bad playing, bad coaching and bad calls all around. They deserved to lose.

But your WSU Cougars look good!
