I posted over at the rah rah football site which is today a rah rah basketball site. Weird how a little success in bouncy hoopty ball will turn even a basketball illiterate like me into a fan. Well played Coach Oats.

Basketball has been the purview of my wife, she of the Duke diploma. (Whispered voice, very whispered. “How is Duke doing in the tournament this year?”)

I’ve always kind of liked UCLA. Never had reason not to. Suddenly I feel a wave of libelous slander and unkind words bursting forth for no reason other than those bastards stand between my beloved Crimson Tide and the Elite Eight.

6:15 CT on TNT. Roll Tide.
