- I don't mind Rothstein's schtick, but his stupid annual naming of the brackets is beyond ridiculous. "REGION OF BRANDS"...."REGION OF MISDIRECTION"..."REGION OF GUARD PLAY"..."REGION OF OPPORTUNITY". Just stop.
- My wildcat friend Chad already wished me a Happy Westwood One week on Facebook, and sure enough, I was able to partake in their magic on my drive home from Louisville the other night. I couldn't tell who the PBP guy was, but he was outstanding...far better than this guy that was doing it on TV. And Will Perdue is a good analyst as well.
- I haven't minded Avery Johnson on the call for the First Four games, but every time I hear him talk, I can't help but think of Kevin Hart's impression of him. It's what he used in his SNL audition, and it was so good, he didn't get the gig.
- Sweet 16 at Rupp yesterday as about as enjoyable as it could have possibly been. Huge hometown turnout, a close win for the good guys, just good vibes all around. Crazy how many missed free throws in clutch situations there were (in both games I saw), but understandable given the circumstances. Can't imagine what's going through these kids' minds when they're standing in front of 10,000 people trying to hit a free throw in the closing seconds of the biggest game of their life....probably just really worried about the bourbon tax, I'm guessing.
- Waaaaay past being done with Spike/Chuck/Samuel L. commercials.
- Good grief, Rogue.
- Here we go, gang. It's why we do this.
