Quick Look In

Well, here we go again, on several different fronts...

March Madness...woo woo! The Red Sox/Yankees rivalry in the fall, NCAA tournament in the spring, summer spent toiling on the golf course, any year is a good year for Thew. I honestly have NO close touch with the tournament this year, it's so wide open, so many things to point out and debate (see TILAM's posts), I'm just gonna sit back and revel in the excitement.

On another note, anyone who noticed has to put up with yet another group suing an institution over their mascot. Now, it's the Illinois Native American Bar Assoc who is suing the University of Illinois over their use of an indian mascott, Chief Illiniwek. WTF!?! It's a MASCOT people, get some damm tolerance in your lives. It's a celebration of the indian as a warrior for Illinois, it's been going on for 78 years - he represents the fighting spirit, the pride, the strength of the illini, why the hell does a group have to piss and moan about it. The Atlanta Braves, the Cleveland Indians, and god knows how many others, this is such an assinine issue. I see NO reason to think this is discriminatory, yet another waste of time.

John Chaney. Denied his 500th victory on his return from his 3 week suspension for behaving like a gang thug. Poetic justic. 1 and done for Temple, have a nice summer.

Andy Katz says that Wake Forest will win it all. Sorry, I'm going with battle-tested UNC. The Illini just haven't played the strength of schedule, so I'm a doubting thomas. My sleeper pick? If they put it all together, my old UCONN Huskies. :)

I am out for a week, Vegas baby. See you all on the flip side of the weekend...
