    I happen to know the head coach of Kent State, who is playing UCLA in 1st round this year. He happens to be a HUGE Pearl Jam fan. I've been to a bunch of shows with him. He writes "Present Tense" on the board before their games.

    Coach is going on Mad Dog Radio tomorrow, either 3:30 or 4:30, not sure yet. In addition to obviously talking about the tourney and his game, he's gonna try and bring up Pearl Jam as Mad Dog is a huge Springsteen fan.

    Finals: Nova over Kansas

    Didn't have too many upsets in the later rounds, some in the early rounds. Michigan in the elite 8 was the lowest seed i have going the farthest.

    For my office bracket I think I'm just going to pick the favored team and have all 1 seeds in the FF. I've always wanted to do that experiment.

    Vermont pulling off the upset ^

    I'm not expecting to see the second weekend as the Boilers will have to show me the mindset in the program has changed before I put any faith in them. That said, Vermont better find a way to guard Issaac Haas or else they have no shot. A Purdue team that wasn't as good last year beat them by 30.
    Had to choose a big upset. I went with Vermont. Undefeated in last 12 games (yes weaker teams, but wins are wins)
    Bad choice. Vermont's too small. Although I do have to recognize Purdue's long history of tourney choke jobs. The team is fun to watch and definately one of the best Purdue teams in a long time. I get the same feeling I did from the 87-88 team with Lewis, Mitchell and Stevens.

    Hardest region to pick for me is Midwest. I don't like Kansas or Louisville or even Oregon with that injury.

    The Three Amigos. I was 7. My dad and uncle went to the NCAA tourney game against K-State at the Pontiac Silverdome. I just remember them coming home from the game and talking about how Mitch Richmond couldn't miss a shot, and the rest of the crowd was made up of Kansas fans there to watch Danny and the Miracles.....apparently, they were doing the "rawk chalk" chant for like an hour.

    I always take Thursday off and the Friday usually falls on my day off. But yeah, I have zero judgments about wanting to take the day off but just be honest about it.
