Well, i just got my first Serious Story to write for my little magazine. I've never done a full story before, i'm quite excited!

I got permission from my editor in chief, emailed a few people and now they're giving me free access to this thing that costs lots of money. Some head honcho speaks there, and it is now my official business to record his words. Cool.

I'm already totally nervous about fucking this up :)

Cox Arena in San Diego has been reopened after it was evacuated earlier on Thursday after a bomb-sniffing dog signaled a potential problem at a hot dog stand.

heh heh, we all know a dog would have no other interest in a hot dog stand except for if there was a bomb in it :)

This free video on CBS is pretty nice...watching UCLA and Belmont right now live (with maybe an 8 second delay, but its just like watching TV and there hasn't been a hitch yet..)

Well, until Mark Few learns to make defensive adjustments and start coaching a bit better, Gonzaga isn't going to do shit past this round.

As a Zag fan, I am not very popular among my brethren with my criticism of Few's coaching, but FFS the Zags routinely get eaten alive by their lack of adjustments to the other teams offense. They stick with that goddamned zone while getting bombed with 3's, they never go to a box and 1 or something to stop someone that is red hot, and then the rest of the team sits on their ass on offense constantly waiting for Morrison to bail them out with amazing jump shots over triple coverage (which he does manage to pull off a lot, but still...).

BTW - I'm calling in a substitute tomorrow to stay home the tourney all day so I can swear at the TV without the wife in turn yelling at me.

March Madness is one time where I do miss being single.

yep :(

Since 1989 on odd numbered years all the 1 seeds made it to the sweet 16 and on all the even years one 1 seed did not make it out of the 2nd round.

Who could that be this year?

The Aggies were really making the most of their rare tourney appearance, weren't they? :)

I wouldn't be surprised to see LSU play better against Duke than they did against A&M!

I think the only potential elite 8s I've got left are gonzaga, UCLA and the #1 seeds.

yea, some of the experts had picked LSU. I think they matched up quite well against Duke - matchups that favored LSU.

I hope Gonzaga can keep up the ass-kicking of UCLA, but I am sure the Bruins are going to have a run in them yet.
