Ho Hum...
UConn won. I didn't even watch the game because I knew that it would be a blowout and that The Sports Guy would have a running commentary on the game.
6:38 -- Our second horrible call of the game -- Salami just blocked a three, got all ball, and they called it a foul. Only 35 more inexplicable calls to go before we approach Saturday night's Duke-UConn game.
6:51 -- I guess the question is this: How would you feel if you were a college basketball announcer and you DIDN'T have a pizza commercial?
7:13 -- Tech clangs two free throws, then allows a long two at the buzzer. UConn heads into the half leading by 15. They're running the floor, hitting threes and forcing G-Tech to take bad shots. There's absolutely nothing else you need to know about this game. Nothing.
7:41 -- During a montage of Okafor-Salami highlights, Nantz actually says, "Some have said (it's) the best battle of big men in a championship game since Ewing and Olajuwon." Somehow he doesn't get hit by a lightning bolt.
8:02 -- Nantz tells us that Ben Gordon was born on the same day N.C. State beat Houston in 1983. We're officially on Page 9 of CBS's "Garbage Time Notes" pamphlet.
And speaking of garbage time notes, let me roll out some of mine ...
A. Fourteen kids for Calvin Murphy? Fourteen? By nine women? All in the Houston area? Can we start keeping track of this stuff? More importantly, was this why they called him "The Pocket Rocket"?
B. If the Sox lose out on another World Series with Christ playing center field, it's clearly not happening in my lifetime.
For the record, the game ended at 11:56 EST.
And without further ado...here are the results for First Annual information leafblower NCAA Tournament Bracket Pool
Congrats to Peabs! Much like UConn, he started off in #1, experienced a mid season slump and then bounced back to take the title.
Peep the B-Sides for Moz's Irish Blood, English Heart single. One of them is a song about the Munich Air Disaster of 1958.
The disaster was the darkest moment in the history of Manchester United who were returning from a match in Belgrade when their plane stopped at Munich for refuelling. The plane crashed in a blizzard on its third attempt to take off from Munich airport, killing 23 of the 43 people onboard. Among the dead were eight of United's most promising young players - the Busby Babes - including Duncan Edwards considered the greatest young British player of his generation.
I thought the Mozzer was a West Ham supporter?
Don't / tell me what I wanna hear / Afraid of never knowing fear
Experience anything you need / I'll keep fighting jealousy
Until it's fucking gone
