Better than Expected

What a fun Dance this has been...and if only a pair of shots could have found the bucket for Davidson, but what an incredible game we witnessed last night! While Stephen Curry was highly touted by CBS, he lived up to his hype in the first half before being put on lock down by Rock Chalk's Box & One D.

Nevertheless, ALL Four 1 seeds made it to the Final Four for the first time, which is pretty remarkable since they should be the best teams in the tournament in the first place, but we all watch to see (a) big time upsets and big time little guys in the first weekend, (b) Cinderellas give it their all in the second weekend, and (c) top quality hoops the final weekend. I think we can put a big fat YES for (a) and (b), now we just have to wait to see if we get the quality hoops this coming weekend as CBS salivates over 2 games - 1 actual and 1 potential game - (1a) Roy Williams (who did not give a "shit" about UNC following the 2003 NCAA Championship game) vs. His Former Team and Bill Self and (1p (for potential)) Tyler Hansbrough vs. Kevin Love. The stories within a game aspect that CBS craves are there...let's hope that CBS broadcasts the games rather than talks obnoxiously about the stories...then again, who am I kidding!

The real point of this thought is to say a half-hearted I was not 100% correct to CBS...at least through the first 2 weekends of The Dance, which is why I might be partially correct. However, I want to applaud CBS for (a) having new Masters commercials and (b) not running them over and over and over and over and...you get the idea. However, CBS has one more weekend during which it can cram The Masters...A Tradition Like No Other down our throats. Here's to not allowing that to happen as I dream again about next year's perfect bracket.

With one more weekend, the goal is still the same...Stay As Long As You Can!

Get Out And Romp
