What is this “basketball” of which you speak?

I only watch sports that involve players that steal gay sheep. “Fa” with your basketball.

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.

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!

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.

andrew:
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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.

You can force colleges to have teams, but you can’t force people to watch or care.

Speaking of womens’ basketball, I just saw Jody Runge at the Goose Hollow. She’s still sporting the same hair…
strange…
