Any basketball fans out there? It is one of my favorite times of the year, March Madness. My TV was on most of the weekend tuned to the NCAA tournament. Unfortunately, my favorite team, Syracuse got dumped early so I'm rooting for another Big East team - UConn.

Univ. of Washington and Gonzaga in the Sweet 16. It's a beautiful thing.

I'm waiting for UT to BEAT Duke and advance...GO HORNS!

My alumns, Michigan State, got ousted first round by George Mason, who has since beaten defending national champs, North Carolina. The Spartans were a HUGE dissapointment this year, after returning 4 out of 5 startes from last years final-four squad. What can I say - they sucked this year. U Conn looks strong, even though they looked a bit suspect against Albany. One thing I will say - March Madness is THE greatest sports spectacle in all of the sporting world. I'll pit it against the Super bowl, the NBA finals, World Series, Stanley Cup or the Olympics.

So Ray, is this the rip-roarin, no holds barred discussion of basketball that you were hoping for?

Zzzzzzzzzz..... Maybe I'll start a political discussion.

How 'bout starting one on taste and the lack of it in the fashion world today.

Ooops...I wasn't intending to hijack your thread. Just a suggestion x0:)

I did my part to improve taste in the fashion world by destroying all pictures of me in my HR Hero T-shirt. Though I still have it. And it is in decent condition.

Hey, put it up for auction on the forum. Some of us joined just after MLS stopped sending them to worthy contributors.

Bet you could get a good price and then maybe buy something else fitting.

I got my t-shirt by paying for my subscription 3 years in advance. There was no way I was getting this short chubby body in that long t-shirt and putting it out there on display on the web. x:o

Maybe if you ask nicely M Lee will bring it back.

GO HORNS!

Paul in Cannon Beach

And.. GO ZAGS!

Whirlwind

And again, GO HORNS!!!!!!!!!!!!

(Looks like you needed some back-up, jtrbug.)

Paul in Cannon Beach

Dang.. Zags lose by 2.

GO HORNS!!!!

You may as well concede now... it's UCONN all the way.

jitrbug

Thanks for the support Whirl! Condolences Paul, but your honor in defeat is admirable. Ray, Texans don't concede, we, like Paul will be honorable in defeat or glorious in victory! No trash talking here but GO HORNS!!!!!!!!!

ray a

Texans may be honorable, but they were afraid of NC. The announcer last night commented that the Texans were cheering wildly when NC lost because now they didn't have to face them.

jitrbug

Hey, we ain't dumb either!!!!!

HRinNH

Ok James, since I didn't get my embossed invitation to your office in the mail (for being over 1000 posts), how 'bout bringing back the Hero t-shirt?

Is J.J Redick the most overrated hoopster in the NCAA? See Ya Duke.......

Paul in Cannon Beach

When I typed "GO Horns!" I meant "Go Huskies!"

Go Huskies! Aarroooooooooooooo!

jitrbug

We got it in print you said GO HORNS!!!
Hope you talked to a priest about your fast conversion!

The 'Nova Wildcats won, so the Big East is still alive.

Washington is up by 5 at the half over Connecticut.

UCONN hits a three to force overtime... aughhh

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 03-25-06 AT 11:38AM (CST)[/font][br][br]....and UCONN wins it sending Washington back home to contemplate what could have been.

Paul in Cannon Beach

Like I said, GO HORNS!

ray a

Horns were cut short.

jitrbug

Ok the Horns went down with honor to a very formidable opponent, condolences to UCONN and Nova fans as well. Guess we can all get back to our "normal" lives! (I work with a LSU fan-arrrgggh!)

You're right. I tend to root for the underdogs, but I doubt George Mason will go all the way.
