Who deserves to be booed, and booed lustily.
So does most of the rest of America.

Seems like a natural application for "social networking" so people can get a game going.

We saw 4 games. Best game was BYU - Texas A&M, a matchup between better coaching and better athletes. The athletes won.

Mississippi Valley State had the worst warm up togs - they looked like little green elves. It was probably a good indicator as to how they would play versus UCLA.

NO BEER AT THE TOURNAMENT VENUE... YEAAAARRRRGGGHHHHH.

Texas A&M's cheerleaders whooped everyone else's. They look and dance like NBA pros.

Krazy Krab needs to sue - Stanford has the most ridiculous mascot - some kind of stupid dancing tree with pirate gear - that I've seen in 20 years. And the tree isn't nearly as entertaining as Krazy Krab.

I think Marquette can beat Stanford, but it'll take their best game. There's no way A&M is going to beat UCLA unless UCLA gets very, very, very stupid.

UCLA fans are, well, enough to drive out thousands at halftime last night.

Also known as the curse of the first round fiasco:

Here's a suggestion for a rule of thumb for determining when a game is out of reach, so that you can move to the next game...

Would you believe it's March Madness?

Yep, I'm not surprised - Rick Adelman is doing a damn good job for the Houston Rockets this year.

Depending on the price and his injury recovery, Kevin Jones might be a good pickup for the Chicago Bears.

I dunno, I just have a distaste for this.

Unless, of course, every lifelong fan of every team in baseball should get such a chance. If not, then what makes Billy Crystal so special?

Alabama State, which looks like they are on their way to the NCAA Tournament from the Southwestern Athletic Conference, has a 7 foot 1 inch center named Chief Kickingstallionsims. C'mon, make Brent Musberger try to say that.

This sounds like a good idea, maybe the NBA could do something to run with it here.

The official TRIBASKET presentation in Castilla y León took place at the Monasterio de Prado in Valladolid on Tuesday. TRIBASKET is a new competition of the Scholastic Basketball Program (PEB), which is directed at children 11-18 years old, and will kick off all over Spain with the collaboration of the autonomous federations.

...

TRIBASKET consists of three categories: SHOOTING (free throws, two and three-point shots, SKILLS (ball handling) and PLAY (1 on 1, 2 on 2, and 3 on 3). During these competitions, awards will be given for for skills, and it´s not necessary that the players are on any formal team or be in the Federation to participate. Therefore, any boy or girl who is interested can sign up individually and participate in any desired category.

The competition will develop a local level and then within the autonomous communities, and will play out the final round in Madrid in June, as the best players of the 19 autonomous communities compete for the Spanish championship title in the different categories.

Their nemesis retires!

But as a Bears fan, I'm relieved that Chicago decided to give Lance Briggs a 6 year contract rather than Bernard Berrian. Although, this might say something about the worries about Brian Urlacher's back.

And still we don't know - why the hell are Crackerjacks referenced in the song?
