If You Show Me Yours, I’ll Show You Mine
College basketball fans, what are your picks for the Final Four and National Championship?
Here are mine:
Men’s Final Four:
Illinois vs. Louisville
UNC vs. Kentucky
Men’s Final:
UNC vs. Illinois
Women’s Final Four:
LSU vs. Minnesota
Tennessee vs. Connecticut
Women’s Final:
LSU vs. Tennessee
Indulge yourself in criticising the unoriginality and homerism of my picks.
Speaking of womens’ basketball, I just saw Jody Runge at the Goose Hollow. She’s still sporting the same hair…
strange…
You can force colleges to have teams, but you can’t force people to watch or care.
Call me a sexist jerk if you must (and I’m sure somebody will even if I add this note), but I didn’t think once about the womens’ tourney when filling out my brackets for the office pool (I’ve got Arizona going to the Final Four — there’s a bit of homerism for you). In fact, none of my female co-workers even so much as mentioned the Womens’ NCAA tournament. I only know the UConn women won last year because both UConn teams won.
For what it’s worth, I have UNC winning it all.
Clint: Google it.

I’m “nutz”? Maybe so, but it’s not for supporting UAB, which I don’t think I’ve ever done. I was referring to the Portland Trail BLAZERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, for Chrissake. For this, of course I am “nutz.”
GO BLAZERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Leave it to a woman to change the topic of a March Madness message to Panties and Shoes. WTF is Pearatin anyway.. is that a new type of barbiturate I’m unaware of? I could understand if it was grouped with the panties, I mean that makes sense.. but I don’t understand it with the shoes.
Sports are a welcome reprieve from the usual realm of politics covered on my blog (except today, where Congress is attempting to compete with the NCAAs by holding its ludicrous steroid hearing).
Blazer-South fan, you’re nutz! I like UAB in the first rd. but they won’t get past Arizona. My final four:
[Illini]-Gonzaga
[NC}-Mich. St.
[Illini as national champs]
Women’s I don’t pretent to folo but go DUCKS!
Basketball, Schmasketball. My picks:
Booze:
wine vs. [beer]
[vodka] vs. rum
Final:
beer vs. [vodka]
Shopping:
Clinique vs. [new shoes and Pearatin]
[panties] vs. lipstick
Final:
[new shoes and Pearatin] vs. [new Bumble and Bumble product]…I still can’t decide. Better to call it a tie and get both.
I dreamt about your damned brackets last night.
An Arab man dressed in plaid issued a fatwa against me because he didn’t believe that Fairleigh Dickinson was a real team.
I hope you’re happy.
GO BLAZERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I only watch sports that involve players that steal gay sheep. “Fa” with your basketball.
What is this “basketball” of which you speak?
