Well, another great game today. Michigan State vs UT. I really thought Tennessee would wax them. I cannot tell you how terrible it is to have that Rocky Top Tennessee song reverberating in my head all weekend! We were sitting near the Tennessee band and they would play it at most every break and the fans would sing it at the top of their lungs.

Oh well, now I'm in Evansville Indiana and will be visiting my grandmas (oldest is 94). Then to Wichita to take my 10 year old daughter to her beloved Taylor Swift concert.

Rocky top, you'll always be... home sweet ho-o-ome to me! Good ole Rocky Top... Rocky Top Tennessee... aaaaagghhhh!

Yeah, I can certainly understand that. Anyway, I prefer "Devil with the Blue Dress On."

Not only for basketball tournament losses, but for our deep and prolonged economic recession, global warming and hunger and disease on the African continent - not to mention Donald Trump's hair problems.

Well Monica, look at it this way, there's a Hoosier school in the Final Four so all is right in the world!

Best wishes to your grandmas, and if you don't mind, would you run by Hagedorn's over on West Franklin and have a cold one with those old Dutchmen that hang out there?

And check out the Schimmel's at Opus 1 Music. They've got some killer deals and they told me they'd ship anywhere.

Looks like nobody cares about the teams that are left.

Good job by Butler! And great game.

All I care, deeply and passionately, is that Duke loses.

Cool!
We've got a little work to do......

Butler has been fun to watch. WVU looked pretty rough tonight and Duke looked really good. I lucked out and finished first in my pool no matter what happens in the final.

Nice!
What were some of your great picks?

As they used to say in Brooklyn, wait till next year!

Actually, I would have won my pool if WVU had beaten Duke. Yes, my pool sheet was my head speaking. Look what that got me!

(Feels like 2nd grade, doesn't it......)

The biggest was Cornell over Wisconsin in the 2nd round. I also had Xavier over Pitt and got lucky with most of the first round 7/10 and 8/9 matchups. WVU and Duke in the Final Four gave me big points and since almost no one had Butler and MSU, my failures on that side didn't matter much. I'm so upset I didn't call Ohio over Georgetown in the first round. It is was horrible of me since Ohio is my Alma Mater.

I'm glad I asked......you're looking at a Big Red guy.


Blew it!!!!!
Will you ever get over the guilt.....

Arrgggh. The ONLY thing worse than UK being eliminated would be having Duke win it all.

Go Duke!

Sorry Monica...

It's probably safest if you just practice piano and turn the television off for the next little while.

I probably won't be watching the game. I just checked and it starts at 9:21EST which is 10:51NST.

Go Butler! I hope they somehow pull it out!

They're hanging tough against the Evil Empire Duke. Go Butler!

Go Duke!

aw, nuts.

wow that was some shot at the end. butler played a great game.

Great game. Butler dictated the tempo and took away the second chance points. They actually got more offensive rebounds. But theirs wasn't the only good defense. Two good defenses made for a great game.

Yes......can you imagine if it had gone IN?????

Great great game.

It was a great game. Condolences Monica.

Oh well, there's always next year... and maybe Calipari will recruit a bunch of new all-stars.

Oh............you don't just believe in admitting the best possible students and then seeing who can play basketball?
