March Madness

[Vrede too]

Missed some bad blood....and a blowout.

Geno has apologized. He had accused Dawn of refusing to shake hands before the game, and there was something about how an SC jersey became torn and needed replacing. I don't care enough to look up the details and whether his apology was accompanied by retractions, nor whether Dawn responded.

I agree with Vrede. Staley cab be a pain, but Gino has been a jerk for a long time.

In honor of billy.p, I'll give a WDE! for Auburn's win at the kiddie table. Refs must have been in their pocket.

Barely.
Auburn Overcomes Blown Lead to Win NIT in Overtime
Two big nights from key Auburn Tigers guards kept them in the game and led them to a win in the NIT
The important SEC refs must have all been working the NCAA tourney. This victory is proof that SEC refs were on the NCAA selection committee.

With a win or go home at stake, Aztecs held their own destiny behind by only 2 with 3 minutes left. Lost by 12.

Rough season for BRD. If I understood the TV correctly both Auburn and SDSU got edged out of MM, 2 out of 4 teams that just missed out.

Dook has the #1 overall seed . Kiss of death? Other #1s are:
Michigan, meh
Florida,
Arizona,
UNC has a 6 seed
Miami has a 7 seed
Maryland didn't get a bid

Last four in:
NC State,
Texas,
SMU,
Miami (Ohio), Meh

First four out:
Rough season for BRD
Oklahoma
Auburn,
San Diego State, Sorry
Indiana

UConn has won all 6 of the championship games it's played in . Michigan hasn't won for 30+ years. Go basketball.

Did someone win?

[O Really]

March Madness pales in comparison to April Apathy around BRD this year. Oh well, on to the long nap before baseball playoffs. But hey, CFL pre-season starts May 18.

I heard someone lost.

Lost what?

Then, the 2026 FIFA World Cup played in Mexico, Canada and somewhere else will take place from June 11 to July 19, 2026. Try to restrain your excitement.

Be still, my heart!
Well, we've got the USA Pickleball Golden Ticket at the end of this month, various events throughout the summer run by the Southern California Cornhole Association, and of course major USCA (United States Croquet Association) GC National tournaments.

I've never watched either on TV. Have you? I'll give them a try for a few minutes at least.

Naa, I'm just having fun with the sports sleepy season. We do still have Stanley Cup coming up.

I've enjoyed hockey in person, but not on TV. I never know where the puck is.
