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.
