Yeah, Roy. The excitement of the tournament was pretty much deflated in our household in consecutive games on the same court. First Illinois falls, then Missouri. Subsequent games have been riveting, but it's not the same when your team isn't there anymore.

Well, CMU has proven to be a rock solid team, a good mix of players whose chemistry has cemented... ok, enough beating around the bush, CMU also stands for Concrete Masonry Unit (concrete block)    

Having graduated from MSOE back in '68 I've a soft spot in my head, er heart, for Wisconsin. Sure hope they can take out Kentucky.

Got my fingers, toes, eyes crossed for the Spartans against the Terps come Thursday. Duke was just too much for my CMU guys. They were tough though.

Great games. Best March madness I've seen in a long long time.

Sidebar for an admin. Does the Preview Post button work? Nothing happens when I click on it. Also, I mentioned it before, but the graemlins don't tell you their names when you scroll over them. Can that be fixed?

Steve. Preview works for me in all my Browsers.  

Which one are you using?

Did they ever show names?

Don't know why you need them but you can Bookmark this.

Well Steve, I've been transplanted all of my adult life. So many people who live in Wisconsin were also born and raised here; just the opposite of my last adopted home state, Colorado. So, while I don't often find myself rooting for the local teams, I'll have to cheer on Marquette now, even though they knocked out my son's Tigers.

(By the way, if you're watching a Missouri home game on TV next season, and they show a young man in a yellow suit with a tiger print tie screaming his head off, that's my son. He was a CBS "fan of the game" at least once this season. Unfortunately we don't get the feed here for many of those contests.)

I do root for Marquette when they aren't playing one of my favorite teams, but my other son is looking into Saint Louis University, a member of Conference USA. And since I'm a Illinois alum, I can't bear rooting for another Big Ten-11 team.

That Duke-Kansas game was pretty good.  

I have no problem pulling for other Big Ten teams.

Though mostly I just enjoy the good Basketball.

You got Duke-Kansas in Iowa City? Of course, in Milwaukee, we got Marquette. Did you get the Wisconsin-Kentucky match up in the first game? I wonder who gets to decide which station gets what feed?

Goal - din E - gulls !!

It's all I've got left.

Editorial Update

Gregg:

You would have gotten a rise out of this unreconstructed Buckeye, 'cept I had the flu (big time) for about 10 days. Bummer (cubed).

Oh well, the NCAA will come again, but I trust not the flu.

RHP, glad you're feeling up to surfing again. Better lay off the hang gliding for a bit longer though.    I figured you must be on vacation, but then, you probably travel with a laptop, eh?

As for the tournament, at least I can root against the last Big Ten-11 team anybody expected to be still standing this late, because I've got our home town team to root for still.

This entire City will be glued to the TV for the Big Dance. Marquette golden fever has struck!    

Besides, it's 30 degrees and wrelly slippy outside.    

Not a single vote for Tom Crean as coach of the year!
