I graduated undergrad in 2000. About two years ago, I attended a campus visit to my alma mater with my stepdaughter. The food options at the campus cafeteria were mind boggling!!!!!

At my university, you could get one thing of the "main course" but you could keep coming back to the chili/soup, salad bar, ice cream, etc. There's a reason I gained a lot of weight in those four years...

I’m still trying to figure out how in the heck St Pete’s was 300th in offensive efficiently. Yeah; it’s a two game sample where they played out of their mind… but they sure didn’t look it to me.

Purdue isn’t great. They play zero defense… so if St Pete can play defense like this and they can score; then they have a shot at them. They could make the E8.

Well shit.

Welp folks; I warned people not to put faith in a program that has been to one Elite 8 in history or a coach who lost in the second round with Kevin Freaking Durant.

Hate when you’re going strong for almost 40 minutes and the Cockburn catches you in the last 25 seconds.

Lies, Damn Lies, and Statistics

That one was brutal. I was 14. But that team had overachieved to get to that point. Last night was inexplicable. The overtime with San Fran was great basketball though. Just haymaker after haymaker. While I’m legitimately excited to see the Racers have a chance at their first ever Sweet 16; I know I will be bitter and angst ridden watching St Peters shoot 40% from the field and a season average 60ish points. Because we all know that’s how this works.

Iowa owes us a huge thank you. No one talking about their upset now. Need the Racers to turn it on here or it’s gonna be one of the worst days of my basketball fandom in history.

Richmond is 5 minutes away from ruining my bracket

I had picked CSU. Up 15, I thought that was looking good... but I've got TVs in my two treatment rooms with ChromeCasts. Ostensibly, they were for me to pull up xrays; but the laptops were always entirely too cumbersome to do that. So most days of the year they look like fancy wall art with a clock on it... BUT NOT TODAY!!!! Today I have a different game on in each room. (With the volume turned down.)

The fact that we don’t have a bracket has gotten more discussion than the entire season!

Don’t believe we did. There wasn’t a lot of action around the college threads; so I didn’t see a lot of people clamoring for it. In happier news; super proud of my friend for reffing his first ever NCAA tourney game tonight. He was on the whistle for Wright State v Bryant.

Saw several on here saying they'd get the books if not for the international cost. Thought I'd share this from an email I got today:

Memory's Legion (the short story collection) showed up at my office today. The advantage of preordering so many things and losing track of them is that sometimes you have an early birthday present show up!

Yeah, he just got in a bit early. I didn't watch wrestling for almost 20 years from the early 2000's until a year ago or so... so when I hear them talk about all the guys who had a title reign in there; it amazes me that a guy like Hall never did.

Amen. Scott Hall always cut a great promo. I will still start a phone call with friends by saying "Hey yo..." And if we have a question to ask "We're taking a little survey..."

Ugh. Potential Murray vs UK in the second round. The stress will give me a heart attack. I don’t like it at all because I feel like MSU could make their first S16 with a good draw and UK could go Final Four. Having them match up early ruins both.

Duke getting no favors in K’s farewell tour.

Life is full of pain and sadness.

Nope they were 22-1 when they hit the top of the polls and have finished 5-4.

Down goes Auburn... moral of the story: Save the confetti until you have something to celebrate. Between them and Baylor both losing in the first round of their tourneys, I'm legit wondering what that means for their seeding. Both were tracking towards 1 seeds; but what does it mean now? Could Kansas/Kentucky move up for those? Or will the committee just keep them where they stand?

I just saw that Stanford is beating Arizona with 4 minutes to play. So I go looking for the game. Never let anyone tell you the PAC12 is relevant every again. I have YouTubeTV. Right now I have access to live coverage of the: Mountain West tournament B1G tournament Big East tournament A10 TournamentAAC TournamentACC Tournament Big12 TournamentSEC Tournament No coverage of the PAC12.

Cuse is 16-17 on the year in a historically bad ACC. So they'll be at least a 5 seed, right?
