Final Four Update
— Dave in Texas

Michigan State takes Tennessee on Raymar Morgan's free throw to head to the final Four.

All Baylor and Duke now. Two small schools, one with a basketball heritage, and one with nothing but a lot of basketball pain from stupidness.

I'm watching it online here.

Full disclosure, Baylor was the first school I ever got kicked out of. I don't blame them, I'da thrown me out too.

Go Bears.

If Baylor wins this game and then beats WVA, I can actually win some money in a bracket pool I'm in because no one will have a champion and I'm one of the few with Baylor in the championship game.

Posted by: Uber-Concerned, seriously, really, really sopper-dooper concerned, and did I ever mention how really at March 28, 2010 01:54 PM (t72+4)

16 When Scott Drew took the Baylor job after the murdered player and the coach cover-up, I wrote a big long post at a now-defunct blog about how he was a wicked-awesome choice. (I am a lifetime fan of his father, Homer.) Even if they lose today, I think my prediction was correct.

I've been trying to write a Todd Lickliter joke after Butler won yesterday, but that seems redundant.

I miss Indiana.

I'm sure in this day and age Baylor is more receptive to football players who like to wear makeup and dress up in womens clothing and are all inclusive Dave. This is the new south after all.

Posted by: Blazer at March 28, 2010 02:02 PM (t72+4)

>> How many schools have you been kicked out of?

Well, two technically, but the second college I got kicked out of twice.

Is that three, or two and a half?

Duke's gonna keep it close until they pull away at the end -- that's how they do.

I was just thinking about Tokyo Rose, the other day.

Last week when we were defending the ridiculous accusations of threats and violence, I wondered why we were wasting so much time with answering the charges of propagandists. Would we argue with the silly Tokyo Rose? Baghdad Bob?

Duke in the double bonus. Ouch.

Posted by: Land of Leakin at March 28, 2010 02:59 PM (AMYl0)

Ah, clipped from the link in my name:

1 -- Number of times a No. 1 seed has not reached the Final Four since 1985 (2006, which featured UCLA as No. 2, Florida as a No. 3, LSU at No. 4 and No. 11 George Mason)

Land of Leakin is correct. (I thought UCLA was a #1)

Posted by: logprof at March 28, 2010 03:04 PM (Mmw0q)

Looks like Baylor, and therefore my bracket, is toast. Too many offensive rebounds by Duke late in the game.

Maybe next year.

Posted by: Land of Leakin at March 28, 2010 03:07 PM (AMYl0)

logprof,

I think George Mason knocked off UConn that year, which killed my bracker for me.

Posted by: karenm at March 28, 2010 03:22 PM (2y90e)

I have no love for Duke, but my only consolation is that at least the ACC outlasted the Big 12. Maybe they'll outlast the Big East and Big 10 as well.

Then lose to Butler.

(I can dream.)

Posted by: logprof at March 28, 2010 03:25 PM (Mmw0q)

Butler winning it all would be too cool.

Think I'll curb my dissapointment with a huge platter of bacon and eggs.

Yeah. Mary Biddle Duke Trent Semens, Doris' cousin who lives there in Durham and is still alive, I believe, is the mother of one of my best friends. They are one seriously bizarre bunch. There is a bullet hole in the leather dining room wall in the old house.

Benjamin Duke was obsessed with Princeton hence the architecture. He even had the steps poured so that they would wear as if they had had centuries of use. I'm not surprised he stole Yale's color.

I'm currently annoyed because the entire reunion committee, all of which I knew, are Obamaites per their campaign contribution history. Looking back, their behavior at the time was an indicator.

You are preaching to the choir, I dated one of the daughters from Flat Rock.

The Semen's womyn is on the Duke Endowment Board! Crazy as a loon.

They hired the architect from Philly and designed it to match Princeton. At least the Reynolds didn't rename Wake Forest, they just moved it and rebuilt it.

More class.

90 I know Ill not find any symathetic ears here, but if you want shit officiating, the Kentucky- WVU game was the one you needed to watch. I truly believe the refs wanted a Ky. loss.I could give a shit about b-ball or sports in general( I still consider myself a Ky. fan though), but some of the alleged fouls were astonishing in their stupidity. I counted 15 points that Wva scored on shit calls. there was the game, right there.

92 Hah --- Baylor was the first school I was ever kicked out of,too. 1988, after my sophomore year. The Dean of Men called me into his office at the end of the semester and told me I had to complete 100 hours of community service AND complete an alcohol treatment/awareness program over the summer before I could enroll for the fall semester.

I joined the Army instead.

Single best decision I've ever made in my life.
