I hate UNI. Not only did they knock out my champion, they also gave me hope that my hometown Demon Deacs could win. Then they got stomped.

Well, with the UNI win, I officially don't care about my bracket :P
Still got WVU winning it all, at least in my unbiased bracket. ;)

Yeah, this made me sick. I attended KU for four years and have lived in Kansas all my life.

To be honest, I'm not surprised. I noticed throughout the season my Jayhawks had three weaknesses:

1. No real three point threats like in the past.

2. Poor free throw shooting.

3. Inability to grab rebounds and loose balls. I don't know how many times I saw a KU player get a hand on the ball, but not grab it. You would swear up and down the players were wearing oven mitts. I noticed in the Lehigh game, the Lehigh players seemed to handle the ball better, whereas KU looked clumsy at times.

I'm fine with whatever team wins, actually.
Not a big fan of MSU, though.
I want Duke to win it all, but everyone wants Butler to win it all (me included) :P
Also, in my screwed-up, nonbiased bracket, WVU wins it all, so if I can salvage something there...

Oh, god I don't know who to root for! MSU is my math teacher's college, West Virginia is my English teacher's college, Butler is the underdog, and Duke... um, I guess I have no reason to root for duke but still, AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

Not really a sports update, but I just found out that Tim Lincecum uses one of my favorite songs (Electric Feel by MGMT) during warmups every day!

Also, the World Cup is coming up soon, and with Ecuador not in it, I'm for Brazil all the way.

It's weird, I'm starting to really get into hockey because of the playoffs

My Bruins made the playoffs today and the yellow rally towels made it feel like playoff time, we'd be one of the underdogs

So does anyone else watch hockey? I just like watching it now that it's near playoff team, I could never watch a full season

I don't watch that much professional hockey, but I do watch the K-Wings, who are a member of the ECHL, and they made the playoffs, but are down 2 games to 1 in a best of 5 series in the first round. We're the 2nd seed in the American Conference.

Sorry for DP, but the old Texas Stadium is scheduled to be imploded today.
