For the first time in my life, I'm avoiding the tourney this year. I didn't even fill out a bracket. Dealing with the idiot Billy Gillispie and Kentucy's ho hum year has sucked the life out of me. Hopefully he gets canned and we get John Calipari to get back where we're supposed to be.

Till then.....is it (gasp) football season yet?

The first round should be a national holiday, IMO.

It's the most wonderful time of the year. (Apologies to Andy Williams.)

I'll be enjoying Monday night, when your Wildcats come to Omaha, and finds just how hostile the environment is at the Qwest Center, even if Creighton is on Spring Break!

For me, the NCAA Tournament surpasses everything else in sports. The NFL Playoffs aren't even close.

A better idea: Take a half day on Thursday and a half day on Friday and only burn one leave day!

Shessh.....lighten Francis.

Tomorrow morning, 8AM. It's true, it's true. I'll be on the couch with my frozen peas by the 11:10AM tipoff.

I'll admit, it was a coincidence considering I made the appointment in January.

Some doctors are even offering a free pizza. Make sure you pick the right doc!

Can't be anymore of a hostile environment than Lexington is for them right now! I wouldn't be surprised if we are looking for a new coach on Tuesday. YEAH!!!
