Pulse Back to Normal

Ok my pulse is back to normal after that weekend. 48 games. 128 pool points available. The action just never stops. Didnt seem to be alot of blowouts this year. Lots of upsets though. The top of the Mid-Major conferences are creeping up on the middling of the BCS Conferences. A couple notes from the weekend.

- The Big Ten....ummm how do I say it.....The Big Ten.....lets see..........The Bg Ten......SUCKS! There I said it. WHat an embarrassment. And Wisconsin was the worst.

- One Wisconsin team one and it was UWM. My new favorite team. Markette lost and I called it so I was happy about that. My hatred of Markette has multiplied. People ask why. Well here it is. Im trying to elevate the Wis-Markette rivalry. Take the #1 Rivalry in College Hoops, Duke-NC. Can you see a Dukie under any circumstance, root for NC. Or even admit that NC is "good" or even admit to not hating them with the white hot passion of a thousand suns? No. Thats a rivalry. We need that to promote hoops in Wisconsin. We want people to say, "Hmmmm Wis vs Markette, those 2 teams dont like each other. Ill tune in to watch"

- Markette is still a big pile of wussies for not scheduling UWM. You now how some citizens vote on one issue, lowering taxes, abortion whatever, they just look at that one issue, well my issue is making Markette play UWM. If some candidate says he or she will pass a law requiring Markette to play UWM each and every year, they get my vote.

- So we're at BW3 on Friday. March 17th. St Patricks Day. Big drinking holiday. Probably second only to New Years. And what is the Americanized version of the traditional St Patricks Day drink? Thats right, Green Beer. SO we started ordering up our green beer at 10:30 for the first round of games. So its getting to the end of the 2nd set of games and we go to order more of the green nectar. "Oh we're out of green beer." It was about 4pm. 2nd biggest drinking day of the year. Traditional green beer. And they run out at 4pm. And where were the green wings? Somebody missed a big opportunity here.

- The Big Ten sucks. Did I do that one already? Well it bears repeating.

- CBS still cant figure how to time games so they dont all end at one time. It seems easy to me. Start them at staggered times. Like maybe a half hour between them. Is that difficult? I mean am I the only one to think of this? I want to see the end of every single game. The last 5 minutes at least. I dont know how many times I had to look at their little scoreboards at the top to follow the games. And heres another thing they like to do. Make us watch a game with a big name team that has like 10 minutes left when theres a close game with 1:30 to go. Great UConn is tied with 10 left, but Bradley might upset Pitt is under 2 minutes? Overall they have gotten alot LOT better than years past but these couple glaring errors need fixing.

- When Im at home I often turn the sound down. Announcers seem to think they have to talk constantly. They dont. Theres a picture right there to show whats happening.

- Badger Hockey. After being a main contributer to Black Friday by losing 4-3, they bounced back to beat Minnesota 4-0 on sat. That win secured them the #1 overall seed in the NCAA Tourney. They play Bemidji State on at. Ummm, when did Bemidji become a state? Do they have an Inerstate system? Are they on the power grid? When does their state quarter come out?

- More Badger Hockey. The Bucky women are in the final 4. I dont want throw a gooch out or anything but a Mens-Womens hockey sweep would be some sweet action.
