I hope everyone saw the nailbiter between Duke and Belmont last night. We were all cheering Belmont on even though we had Duke in our pools. Jared had a point, if Duke got beat it will kill everyone except a handful of Belmont fans. (Sorry Cindy) We can't really talk too much since we all have Vanderbilt in the final 4.
I've come to realize that I'm a little out of my league. When we're watching the games, Jacob and Jared make comments like "Dude, did you see his form" or "They need to blah, blah, blah". They look to me for confirmation and I just shake my head in agreement. I enjoy basketball and can spot a hard foul, traveling, an awesome assist or a good pick but that is the extent of my knowledge. I'll continue to fake it cause I like it when the boys talk "game" with me but I'm sure it won't be long until they realize that I'm really just comparing each teams uniforms, if their shoes match, who has a headband or sleeve, and lets not forget the cheerleaders, etc.... Oh yea, I also watch so I can listen to Dick Vitale. I know most people dislike him (almost as much as they dislike John Madden) but I love an announcer with so much enthusiasm. That's right baby!

Vandy stinks!
I am NOT happy!
Tenn hasn't been very impressive either. In one pool they are in the final and the other I have them in final four. If they don't step it up I'm in trouble. Dicky V? His voice grates on my last nerve. Plus the fact he can't stay on topic and he always finds a way to bring up Duke baby. However, I can't stand any announcers or color commentators in any sport. They talk too much. If you don't have something that adds to the game just shut up and let us enjoy the sounds of the game. We don't need to know which player's favorite color is blue or what thier favorite food is. Thats my rant for the day. Okay, my first rant for today. I'm finding more and more everyday that really irritates me. It will not be long before I'm a crotchity old man like Scott. Just kiddin, I love ya man.
Is ok---I have come to the realization, that I have become a crochity old man. I am with you on the Dicky V--please, get him off the air.
Thanks for the thought Michelle! I was about to have a coronary in the middle of Macaroni Grill where after Todd called 6 times I finally answered so that he could tell me Belmont was winning! The heart attack may have been from the food, though I think it was the game! Did I mention that all three kids were out of town and I was out with a friend? Anyway, my Belmont Bruins, formerly known as the Rebels will pull it off one of these days! And no, I really did not care how badly it would have messed up everyone's bracket!!!
