Auburn and Michigan played the first half like they're at the rec center. More bad shots than made shots. Thoughtless and careless turnovers.

This was about a former college bkb coach so I'll post this here. Did you hear that ESPN's $100 Million Man has swallowed his foot twice in the last two days. First, in his hissy fit with the Billion Dollar King James, Stephen A. said James didn't attend Kobe's funeral. Wrong, Hot Air Breath...

I'm old enough to remember when the 3-point line became part of the game (1986-87 season). The math then was simple: You make 40% of your threes, your opponent has to make 60% of its twos. Nate Oats' philosophy is to take only threes or layups/dunks/offensive follows. Bigs set perimeter...

So, at this point of the tournament, the Sweet 16, the officials working the game are "supposed" to be as good as the teams that won two games to get there. But Bama-BYU, Fla-Md, and Duke-Arizona all had spectacular blunders by these venerated zebras. Sheesh.

I forget which 2nd round game my wife and I were watching but the scorebug on the telecast went haywire on the outside and started spinning a score update until it reached 200-something, then reset.

Did anyone notice that both CBS and TNT telecasts of the first games tonight were glitchy? Not a smooth effort from the technical to the crews to the studio. Way to step up your game, networks.

Yes. And it survived a Civil War, a Great Depression, fought in WWII (remember, other than Pearl Harbor, our country was never attacked/in danger. I would submit that Trump 2.0 makes the Sixties look like the Fifties. At no time in the Sixties was our democracy and our Constitution under attack...

Normal, especially if the gun was delivered by an Alabama player.

The UConn SID apparently won't "ruin the life" of the guy who took the video of Dan Hurley showing and being an ass after the second-round loss. Dan Hurley, though, continues to show and be an ass. He said this yesterday about the incident. "Those are three great officials on that game, so...

My best bracket pool story. In 1985, we had female Hispanic intern. She picked Villanova to win it all because she liked the school's name. Of course.

From now on, just call him coach F.

This three-ring circus is so over populated with clowns they had to get rid of the lions, elephants and trapeze artists.

If I was Denmark and Greenland, I would declare J(ust) D(dummy) and his wife persona non grata and deny them entry to both countries.

Huh. That's interesting. 4-5 years ago I didn't know what a Roger Marshall was.

Date. Time of paratroop drops. Location of landing beaches, timing of landings. Number of troops in first, second waves. Adolf was convinced that allies would invade to the north at Calais (the shortest distance across the Channel). Had the Germans not been surprised by the date and location...
