From not pretty to just plain ugly!

Hope it is a good baseball season. 

This is crazy

Like watching a train wreck. I've decided to avert my eyes.

Todd Said I had to Post

Nell - I actually turned on my first game and watched approximately 45 seconds in the first half.  I think that is more than I watched last year.  (I suspect if I went back to look, I did about as well this year as last)

Todd - I think your estimate of 20 years is a little light.

Will - I agree that my dog is a bulldog (for this fight only).

Will Weighs In

Doesn't everyone have a dog in the fight tonight? Make mine a Bulldog.

-Will

Let Butler dog-walker the Huskies

While I would love for one of my submitted brackets to come out on
top, it is only fair to say that the bracket in question is based not
on any keen prognostication on part but on the NCAA's measure of
academic progress on teams. For that reasons, perhaps, Butler deserves
to win. Also Jim Calhoun and his program are not what you call class
acts, unless you happen to lose a "cl" at some point. So, yes, I am
pulling for Butler, though I have not seen any of the game. I thought
I would amble down to the Gumbinner's to catch the second half.

I remember last year when we were in Tanzania and Nell had Butler in
her bracket. I awoke the next morning to find the news and a slew of
posts. Perhaps we will have an equally close game tonight.

Enjoying the game

even though I and most of the world have no dog in this race.  However I can't help but pull for the Bulldogs.  It has been a scrappy first half with a beautiful 3 at the half-time buzzer. That was about the only thing pretty in the first half. So, who else is watching?

So it's come to this

Raskin vs. Dodie.
'CUT vs. BUT.
G1 vs. T5.
Interloper vs. Insider.
8 years of Yale vs. 20 years* of Yale.
World Traveler (First Class) vs. World Traveler (Steerage).
Southern insult ("Looky here") vs. Northern insult ("Holy $#!‡, Pitt.")

Who's alive out there? What are your predictions? Your hopes and your dreams? Or is everyone just waiting for next year?

If you visit the McDow Hoops blog this evening, you are required to post.


* Approximation. Sure seemed like 20 years.
