We are down to four in March Madness. This weekend we saw the field of 16 get shrunk to the four teams that will be fighting for College Hoops supremacy and their one shining moment. The bad news at least for this guy is Cuse lost on Friday to Oklahoma, being in a bar with it packed with all Syracuse people was a good atmosphere. That is until we started loosing then everyone was miserable, and giving up way to quickly. Besides Ivler and myself it seemed like everyone else had given up on us once we went down big. I guess everyone else was right, but hey stick with it till the end.
The two biggest "upsets" of the weekend was Missouri beating Memphis by 11 and Nova on Saturday beating Pittsburgh. Now it is hard to call Villanova an upset since they were the #3 seed and play Pittsburgh during the regular season and are very familiar with them. The action got better on Saturday and Sunday when we saw Michigan State upset the #1 overall seed, Louisville and punch their ticket to the Final Four. Then we saw UNC man handle the best player in the country and Oklahoma. The last ticket to Detroit is Uconn who handled business against Missouri.
The Final Four match ups are Uconn vs Michigan State and Villanova vs UNC. It is set to be a great weekend of basketball and ultimately an incredible Monday. There are 2 Big East teams heading to the Final Four and the debate should be over about which conference was the best this year. 3 #1 seeds, 5 Elite 8 Teams and now 2 Final Four teams. There is no debate, Big 10 should not be mentioned in the conversation, and the ACC was very good but they are a tier below with out a doubt.
Today Tiger Woods in his 3rd event back after having knee surgery was five strokes back heading into the final round. However, Tiger wouldn't be Tiger without his Sunday Magic, and it was out today. A back and forth battle found Tiger tied with O'hara heading into the final hole and with both on the green with birdie opportunities O'hara missed a long putt just left and just short. Thats when Tiger goes for the win and thats when the Tiger roar was heard as he hits his putt to win the tournament and head into the Masters with a victory. It was an impressive round for Tiger and he becomes the favorite for the Masters.
Hope everyone enjoyed their weekend....
Before I go:
The common thread was The Royal Tenenbaums, Glover in Angels in the Outfield; Stiller in Along Came Polly and Luke Wilson in Anchorman.
Todays Quote: "My name is Dalton Russell. Pay strict attention to what I say because I choose my words carefully and I never repeat myself. I've told you my name: that's the Who. The Where could most readily be described as a prison cell. But there's a vast difference between being stuck in a tiny cell and being in prison. The What is easy: recently I planned and set in motion events to execute the perfect bank robbery. That's also the When. As for the Why: beyond the obvious financial motivation, it's exceedingly simple... because I can. Which leaves us only with the How; and therein, as the Bard would tell us, lies the rub."
Question of the day: If you could be the best in the world at a sport which would it be?
i'd want to be the best at javelin. you know why.
ReplyDeleteOne of many inspirations I use to write for a girl a poem is her name, such as what I did for your case. "Celine" came from "Caelinus", which also came from "Caelium", meaning "Heaven". It also could have come from "Marcellus", a variation of "Marcus", which came from "Mars". The fact that a Roman God got into the mix served as a perfect opportunity to also make good use of mythology, another passion of mine.
