Well for those that doubted if the tournament could live up to they hype as THE greatest single sporting event, the regional finals better known as the Elite Eight answered your questions. 3 out of 4 of the games went to OT. The other, a nail bitter down to the last few seconds. Three point shots rained like curse words coming out of Mo's mouth at a Yankees-Red Sox game. West Virginia, a school who I believe you can major in agriculture, agriculture technology, agriculture economics and the ever popular agriculture for dummies, hit 18 3 point shots. Wisconsin, a team who was once outscored by their football team, scored over 80 points. That's like 30 points higher than their average and 50 points higher than West Virginia's average IQ. Furious comebacks ruled the weekend as all 4 of the teams that went on to win trailed at some point in the 2nd half. Illinois, powered by Bill Murray, went on a 17-3 run over the last 5 seconds (well maybe a little longer) to defeat Arizona. Louisville led by a man known as Dean, somehow came back from a 20 point deficit to win. Michigan State, possibly because Tom Izzu threatened to beat up his player's families if they lost, somehow held on. Jalepena! Good thing I wear adult diapers or there would be some serious clean up duties for someone. Thank goodness there is only 3 more games left cause I'm not sure my heart could take it.
To add to my excitement, baseball (both fantasy and real) starts in about a week. Don't worry I'm sure before the start of the season the blogging community (including myself) will be making their picks on who will win, who will flop and which would you rather have a Chicago deep dish pizza or a New York deli sandwhich. Nonetheless I'd like to add my thoughts on Barry's possible comeback. While Mo does make a fair point about the monetary incentives for Barry to return, I would note that his ego may hold him back. Without steriods big Mac's body fell apart and as 40 year old with bad knees, unless Barry can find an undetectable steriod, Barry's body will also fall apart. Somehow I feel that if Barry's skills go the way of McGwire maybe it would be better for Barry's ego if he can blame reporters for his retirement. And after all is there really anything Barry cares about more than Barry?

March Madness is the greatest - it causes people to lose control of their bodily functions, people to have heart attacks, and of course - ridiculous comebacks. The games were incredible!
