Yet another long break....it is really hard to be committed to this...yet, something makes me want to come back for some more...from now on, I am going to try to get something up on here at least a couple times a week...mostly just my observations of the sports world from a biased or unbiased point of view

For now, it is tourney time...the 2010 NCAA Basketball Tournament has consumed my entire weekend. At first my bracket looked good...I had Kansas, Kansas State, Texas (yes....Texas), and Duke in my Final Four. My final two had Kansas matching up against the Dukies, with the Blue Devils winning the championship. It was a great bracket in my opinion, with my personal biases represented (Duke and Texas), and a significant amount of upsets (Tennessee in the Elite 8, Texas in the Final 4).

When the smoke of the first round cleared, Texas had been lost, but my bracket didnt look too shabby, with only 6 wrong. Other than Texas, my Sweet 16 teams were all still intact.

Then the second round started....first, Nova went down.....sure...no big deal, I had them in the Sweet 16, Omar Samhan and that goofy guy with the two-toned mouthguard deserved their time to shine. But then......Ali Farokhmanesh, the Brothers Koch, and the big dude with the sideburns decided they wanted Kansas's season to end....and in the process, sent brackets everywhere into the garbage can.

Even with two of my Final Four teams gone, I am still satisfied. My bracket still has a chance...albeit, a small one....to win me some money. More importantly, the games have been phenomenal this year....phenomenal. There have been so many good games, I cant even start to name them...and even though Northern Iowa just laid waste to my bracket, I can't help but root for them. As long as Bill Raftery is announcing, you know the Tournament is going to be something to watch.
