Can't Stop, Won't Stop
Holla at your Duke Blue Devils! Tech, thanks for playing, we have some nice consolation prizes for you. DBB keenly notes that poor UNC cut down the nets after they won the regular season championship last weekend. Oh how the mighty have fallen.
"Yeah, I heard about that," Shelden Williams said. "I guess that was a big time win for them. They won the regular season. For us, winning the ACC Tournament is the big thing."
Keep channeling all that hate towards JJ Redick. 61 points v. State and Tech after a poor performance against UVA. For those counting at home, that's eight straight ACC Championship games and six out of the last seven titles. Dayum.
Holla at your Boston Celtics! Beating the Wiz last night in a close one (our bench outscored theirs 50-16) that was a joy to watch. CKelly and I took it in at the ESPNZone in downtown DC (for the record: do not ever ever ever go there to watch a game, ever). And as if that wasn't good enough, on Friday night, after the DCist Happy Hour, I arrived home a drunken mess and flipped on the TV and...The C's and Pistons were in OT! Delonte West made a huge play in double-OT and we pulled out the W! How good are things looking in Beantown right now? Even Peter May wants on the bandwagon.
Party at Mr. Pink's house!
The Sports Guy does another mailbag column. Good stuff. Glad to see we are on the same page about Scoop Jackson.
This review of REM's recently re-released Warner Bros catalog is notable if only because I've finally found someone that agrees that New Adventures In Hi-Fi is their best WB album and that it was a crime that Leave wasn't on the recent Best Of comp. I picked up New Adventures on vinyl for $8 this weekend. Score.
More Gorillaz album news.

I haven't really looked at the brackets yet, although I'm pretty sure I'm going with Syracuse over Duke in the Sweet 16 (Warrick and McNamara are gonna destroy us). Leave a comment or send me an email if you want to be in the Second Annual information leafblower NCAA Tournament Bracket Pool, won by Peabs last year.
I'd like to play in the bracket pool, since I'll most likely lose the pool that I'm running here at my office. as for my bracket, color me old school, but I've got Duke/Kentucky in the regional final and Duke/Carolina in the Final Four. either way I have a feeling the Duke/Syracuse game is going to be a 3-pointer-fest, between JJ and Gerry. heh, I look forward to every minute of this, and then some.
Count me in. I just need to figure out my bracket...btw, Duke gets bounced by Delaware St. in Round 1.
I've got Wake, Illinois, NC, and 'cuse in my office pool final four. Now I'm completely stuck. Wake vs. NC? Nuts. The fact that I picked Cuse over Kentucky is also stupid.
Okay, great. Time to break out the white out. Knew I should have used a pencil.
