Madness Round One: The Gift that Keeps Giving


Some days the Madness strikes out (umm Day 1). No major upsets , very few close games. Other days well the Madness is a sea otter bringing a case of Bud Light (i.e. an awesome thing until you realize its probably not hygienic)

Calhoun Out in the First Round: For the first time ever Calhoun's UConn is out in the first round. San Diego Fighitng Banjos or whatever got the luck of the Irish when the unfortunate star PG (Price) went down with a torn ACL. However they took advantage of the situation, hit a crazy shot in OT and finished off the Huskies. If it makes them feel any better they weren't alone as Villonova, Siena, the United Auto Workers and Kuomintang also pulled off upsets...

Not For Prime Time:
So much for the NBA preview of Beasley v. Mayo. Both were overshadowed by fellow Freshman K-State's Walker as both the top 10 picks struggled. I was came across impressed with the passing abilities of both. Beasley off the double team, Mayo off the dribble penetration. They'll be pros soon enough and we'll see if they can do better on the pro stage.

Close But.... Some of the heart breaking moments of the tournament is the almost major upsets. Duke almost lost to Belmont. American almost got Tennessee. However close only counts in horseshoes, hand grenades and elections where Florida is involved. Now the question is how the big boys respond. Was it sign that they don't have the stuff in the long run or just a one night caught with the girls sister in their bed o'crap it won't happen again (but baby she said she had a better body I had to check).

Erica Ellyson wonders what she has to do to get C&J gal of the week?
