Okay, I admit that I was sick on the semi-final game night with KU in the BIg 12 tournament. It just goes to show how sick I really was. I got up only for the final game on Sunday. I then missed another two days of work. It was awful. Whatever it was took me down and out! The following week was NFL qualifiers. It was great, we actually qualified someone to Nationals in Humorous Interpretation. We also had to alternates. We shall see. June in Vegas with a thousand high school students. How exciting.
After a week of madness at work, and watching every avialable game in the NCAA tournament, I was thrilled that KU got into the final four last weekend. Barely I admit, but it was a great game that Davidson played. Had I had the time, I would have made a road trip to San Antonio to sit on the Riverwalk and watch the game in a bar, but no time! Darn it all. I am saving time for Nationals and to the International Toastmasters Convention in Canada this year. Either way, I cannot wait for the game tomorrow. It is the first time in 20 years that KU is in the final game. I hope that the result is the same. Maybe Danny Manning is our good luck charm since he is an assistant coach and was on that Championship team. Last nights game was awesome. I was actually a bit stunned, but wow. Fireworks every where. It was awesome!
I am always sad when the big dance is over because it is December before college basketball comes around again. I love college basketball. And again this year I lost to Brent in our private pool, however, I had my pre-season final 4 as the real final four (for the first time in history all 4 teams are #1 seeds) and more surprising I chose them preseason. This means for the 3 year in a row, Brent and I are even. I won preseason picks and he won the pool. We only have a dollar on each, but it is the competition that counts. I aways do better in rounds 2 and 3 and he does better rounds 1 (barely) and round 4. GRRRRR!
