No Yinka Dare

Well, Roy Hibbert did what I asked. He wasn't a Trevor Winter. He played a solid game, showing a jumper and some moves. He'll get drafted high and be a good NBA player. Which leads me to Yinka Dare...at least he was drafted high. Jeff Green? I hope he stays another year with Hibbert and learns how to dominate a game when needed...

So here I am, sitting in front of the computer. It's been a Saturday with a few big events. Summary: church membership class all morning. Ate lunch and napped nearly the entire afternoon. No kidding. Watched basketball all evening. Very relaxing, yes, but somehow I don't feel like I accomplished much.

Good news, Sarah and I are tie in our brackets heading into the final game. Which means that for once, the number of points you get for picking the tournament winner is a moot point. It could be 1 or 32 points...if Florida wins, I win. If Ohio State win, Sarah wins. As a Florida State fan, I hate rooting for Florida. I'm still not, but I just can't see anyone beating them.

OK, my busy day has worn me out. Time for bed...

Texas and Trevor Winter

Texas? Never liked the place. I thought the state was over-rated and the people too out-spoken. Give me a good Minnesotan who KNOWS we have the best state so we don't have to go spouting off trying to CONVINCE everyone we do.

There are two things going on in my life right now. One is settling into married life and organizing our home. I have enough boxes of books and presents and papers and my junk to deal with so that I don't want to write about it. The other thing is March Madness.

One cool thing this year is that I now have a permanent friend to fill out brackets with. What's fun is that she's actually good enough to be competitive. What am I saying? Sarah and I were tied after the first round. After the second round she now leads me by one pick!

I was let down by Texas. Kevin Durant and Company were supposed to knock off North Carolina for me, clearing the way for Georgetown to sweep into the Finals. Instead, "Company" disappeared and Durant couldn't single-handedly defeat USC. He's no Vince Young, I guess. Well, have fun in the NBA.

Nick Fazekas also failed me. He does every year, actually. His Nevada team needed overtime just to get by a Creighton team with no real inside presence. Then they couldn't beat Memphis like they were supposed to. I'm finally sick of Fazekas. I'm sure some NBA team will draft him, but he'll be over-rated and a bust. Kind of like Trevor Winter that way. Hold it, Trevor Winter was never officially a bust cause he was never really any good. Just a seven-footer playing in a land of six-and-a-half footers. Well, tough break for whatever NBA team drafts Fazekas.

My brackets? All I'm asking is that Roy Hibbert proves he is no Trevor Winter.
