Dayton? Texas? North Dakota State? I should have known better than to pick Arizona State. Those blasted Sun Devils have plagued me since my days at the U of Arizona. Ah well, we’ll see if I do any better tomorrow, although three down ain’t too shabby, I’m thinking.
Anybody want to join a group and play along with the tournament? I set one up for my Dodgers fan commenters at Elysian Fields, the Dodgers blog I run. Go over there to find the right link to get you in.
Call it the little school that could, I guess. Today Florida Gulf Coast University, a school which nobody west of Pensacola or north of Tallahassee ever heard of, defeated San Diego State today, two days after beating one of the NCAA’s royalty in Georgetown, and it’s now the first 15th seeded team ever to make …
Bah. I lost two teams I had pegged for the Elite Eight to upsets today: Kansas State lost to LaSalle and Georgetown lost to Florida Gulf Coast. Georgetown’s loss would be easier to take if I’d ever heard of its conqueror before. Apparently FGCU admitted its first student back in 1997 and now has around …
I misread Michigan’s opponent as San Diego State rather than South Dakota State, so I screwed up that pick. Cal beating UNLV doesn’t surprise me all that much, even though I picked the Vegas team. But Harvard? Harvard???? I was 13 for 16 today, but two of my losers were teams I had going on …

Anyone want to play? I just set up a group. Pick your bracket this afternoon when the selections are announced! Group name: Elysian Fields Password: hershiser59
It’s odd to see the box score of the Louisville – Kentucky game reflect the real time score while the radio is 30 seconds behind. (It’s 26 – 20 Kentucky with about 3:00 to go in the first half.) I guess I’ll pick Kentucky to win this one. I have no idea who’s gonna win …
The Dodgers’ long baseball nightmare is over! In a quick, dramatic end to the year-long financial crisis of the Los Angeles Dodgers, the team’s owner, Frank McCourt, agreed to sell the team Tuesday night for $2.15 billion to a group headed by Magic Johnson, the Lakers’ Hall of Famer. The Johnson group’s deal, financed largely …
Yeah, yeah, there’s a basketball tournament going on, but that’s still got a week to go. It will have Kentucky, Ohio State, Louisville, and Kansas in the Final Four. That’s pretty much college basketball’s elites right there. Kentucky’s been to the Final Four 15 times, Ohio State 11, Louisville 9, and Kansas 14. Occupy the …
