No more worries about which games is being shown on CBS anymore.
The agenda is brief, but power-packed. Times PT.
1:40 PM - #2 Memphis vs #1 Ohio State in the South Region in San Antonio. Memphis got to this spot last year, but UCLA held the Tigers to 45 points. In 1985, the Tigers made it to the Final Four and lost, scoring just 45 points against Villanova. Ohio State last made it to the Final Four back in 1999. The Buckeyes last lost in a regional final back in 1992 when Michigan beat them.
4:05 PM - #2 UCLA vs #1 Kansas in the West Region in San Jose. UCLA is 4-0 against Kansas in the NCAA Tournament. That statistic really means little or nothing today. Let's go with nothing. UCLA has been to 16 Final Fours and Kansas has made it 12 times. This will be the first time the two schools have met in a regional final however. They've played in a national semifinal, a third place game, a first round game, and a second round game.
jkm1927 and Trojan Ron are tied for the lead in the contest with 79 points and three people are just one point back. Wins in this round are worth eight points.
If Ohio State and Kansas win, mikewyz moves into the lead.
If Ohio State and UCLA win, jkm1927 and Trojan Ron would still be tied for first.
If Memphis and Kansas win, Prince's March Madness takes over the lead.
If Memphis and UCLA win, humma kavula takes over the lead.

2. I will move to any state in the nation to send my kids to the Brock, Bears, SB, Zappall, D4P, Shorofsky school. But I'm wondering if we can get Kotter too. (He can also teach PE, covering both Poker and basketball (see Fastbreak).)
Add to last night's thread: you know what stinks as a parent? When you are on top of all that's going on at school, you make sure your kid does homework every night, you send him off to school completely prepared, and then he forgets to turn in half the stuff he did. And you don't find out about it until 2 weeks later when the online grades come out.
Another way Bob is wrong: We got the Oregon game in Utah. I'm supposing it's because we have the MWC here. They switched liberally between Oregon and USC, depending on which lead was smaller.
1. Rafting on the Rogue River
2. Hike around Crater Lake
3. A day on the dunes at the beach
4. Tour Oregon campus
5. Downtown Portland and Powell's book store, catch a show that night.
6-7. Hike Columbia River Gorge (two days)
10 I hate Packer as much as the next guy, but he did have a point there. Look at the minutes played by the USC frontliners as opposed to UNC's. The Trojans were clearly fatigued beyond belief after about the 10:00 mark of the second half. Carolina outlasts a lot of teams by going 11 deep and not playing exhausted players.
The D-III final is tonight between Washington U and Amherst.
Bring your SAT scores and prepare to engage in some wide-ranging philosophical discussions during that one. Those players are likely a bit smarter than the OSU-Memphis guys tipping off later.
12 I believe the point was, UNC's players haven't been playing as much, so haven't had to perspire as much. If they perspired at equal rates, you would expect the Tar Heels to have sweated less.
I don't think he was trying to say that USC has a higher than normal PARP (Perspiration Above Replacement Player).

I disagree with your contention also that you hate P----- as much as the next guy.
I have a lot of hatred toward him.
As I learned from reading a Bill Simmons column about He Who Shall Not Be Named, P----- has worked EVERY Final Four on TV in most people's memories.
I don't even remember who NBC used before him. When I tried to look it up in old newspapers, the Final Four games were such a minor event that the papers wouldn't state who was working on TV. Curt Gowdy was doing the play-by-play until the late 1970s, when Enberg took over and was teamed up with McGuire and P-----.
Checking in from San Jose, so today is my first NCAA playoff game, I did see the Monterey Bay Aquarium yesterday, still don't know if sea otters enjoy being cooped up in a small area with a bunch of people snapping photos of them, though they seemed quite oblivious to the whole thing.
Beautiful weather up here, we'll see what happens this afternoon.
Also, if we can rag on CBS announcers a little more, was Johnson/Brown REALLY the best announcing crew they could come up with for the St. Louis games? Those guys were terrible. You can't tell me they're the second-best announcing team in the country.
28 Nantz is OK. Who was the joker working with Brown, though? I think it might have been Len Elmore. He's actually pretty good in the studio, but not a guy whose forte is game announcing.
I hate it when they bring in guys like Brown who are announcers from another sport. Just like I would hate it if I was an NFL fan and Joe Buck was announcing. The announcers are always more knowledgeable when they actually focus on one sport.
Nantz is the perfect guy for The Masters. Understated, smart, reverential. I love watching The Masters, and there couldn't be a better fit for that tournament than Jim Nantz.
BTW, if we're picking Final Four announcers, put me in for Verne Lundquist. He's really excellent. I also like Doug Gottlieb, although they don't send him out to do many actual games. Guy's intelligent, knows his stuff, and isn't afraid to express an unpopular opinion.
38 Naah, I just think the guy is a very good analyst. And in the age of screaming Vitales and coach deification, Packer is not like that. He is certainly hateable, I completely get that. To me, personally, Packer isn't the monster that he is to other people.

Grouchy, I don't mind. High-handed is okay. Conceited and intolerant is not cool. I am ambivalent regarding irascibility.
40 Some of the ways college players get in trouble are so dumb they're amusing. Gottlieb, the St. John's players, A.J. Price... when Tim Hardaway was in college he got arrested for stealing a potted plant from a nursery. Seriously.
Gottieb's punishment for credit card fraud ultimately was that he became a horrendous free throw shooter. It's not good to be a point guard who shoots free throws like the unholy offspring of Shaquille O'Neal and Lorenzo Mata.
Truly, that ending of the D-II game was something that I've never seen. Barton came from seven down with about a minute left and Atkinson scored 10 straight points for his team including a layup at the buzzer after a steal.
SPRINGFIELD, Ma. (AP) -- Anthony Atkinson scored 10 points in the final 45 seconds, including a layup at the buzzer, to give Barton College its first NCAA Division II title with a 77-75 victory over defending champion Winona State.
Barton ended Winona's two-year, 57-game winning streak and survived a review of the final play by the officials.
Winona appeared poised to repeat as champion when Zac Malvik made two free throws to put the Minnesota school ahead 74-67 with 45 seconds left. Two straight baskets by Atkinson made it 74-71, then Jonte Flowers of Winona hit one of two foul shots to put his team in front 75-71.
Atkinson scored on a layup with 19.4 seconds remaining, then stole the inbounds pass and made a layup to tie it 75-75 with 11 seconds left. Atkinson forced a turnover, raced down court and delivered the winning basket just before time expired.
Actual sequence of events:
Winona State leads 74-67 with 45 seconds left.
Atkinson scores on layup with 39 seconds left to make it 74-69 and then commits a foul.
Winona St's Zach Malvik misses and Barton rebounds.
Atkinson scores on a jumper with 25 seconds left 74-71.
Barton's Errol Frails steals the inbound pass, gets it to Atkinson who scores and is fouled. 74-73 with 21 seconds left.
Atkinson misses the free throw.
Atkinson fouls Jonte Flowers of Winona State with 19 seconds left. Flowers misses the first and makes the second, 75-73 Winona.
Atkinson scores on an up and under layup with 11 seconds left. 75-75.
Barton's Bobby Buffaloe makes a steal as Winona brings the ball up court and leads a pass to Atkinson who lays the ball in as the buzzer sounds. The ball leaves Atkinson's hands just before the light on the backboard comes on. 77-75 Barton.
Memphis should think about putting the round rubber ball through the metal circle they put up. I believe they painted it orange so that one can see it.
We should give congrats to the Griddle's lone ASU representative, godvls, whose Sun Devils women's team has made it to the Elite Eight and will play Rutgers for a trio to Cleveland.
70 - Nobody can be as bad as Len Elmore. I swear to you, he would just say the word "obviously" over and over again if there weren't someone whispering in his ear that he needs nouns and verbs to make up complete sentences.
74 Maybe James Brown just needs more experience. He is certainly a smart, likeable, articulate, and relaxed personality. But right now he just sounds out of place.

Raftery is a forensic basketball analysis. He knew that shot with 6:30 left would be fatal.
Raftery will be doing a guest spot on "CSI: San Antonio".
Well, now we dcan start thinking about the one that matters, anyway.
Greg Oden is less than a month older than the youngest of my brothers. He appears to be older than my father.
He was born the year Kirk Gibson the National League's MVP, and the Dodgers won the World Series in an upset romp over the Oakland Athletics.
That year, the first ever George Bush was elected President. Mikhail Gorbachev began his program of perestroika. The Iran-Contra scandal raged. Mordechai Vanunu was sentenced for blowing the whistle Israel's nuclear weapons program. The Soviet war in Afghanistan ended. Michael Dukakis rode a tank. The Iran-Iraq War ended after an estimated 1 million were dead. Pan Am Flight 103 was blown up over Lockerbie, Scotland.
Wimbledon won the FA Cup. Wrigley Field saw its first-ever night game. Wayne Gretzky became a King.
I received a yellow Schwinn for my eighth birthday.
113 - That movie was another thing I called "overrated". I imagine Kansas will be winning the title now.
That said, I also predicted that "The Departed" would win best picture, in the long tradition of the Academy giving awards to second-rate work of great artists because it has ignored said artists' earlier greatness. (See Newman, Paul -- "The Color of Money".)
127 -- UCLA pulled it together a little bit, and Kansas fell apart a little bit. I wouldn't say the Bruins have been lucky, or outplayed in particular.
The play-by-play guy seems to have a lot of difficulty telling Shipp and Afflalo apart. Shipp wears 3 - it's a curly number. Afflalo wears 4 - it's a sharp number.
Why is it, whenever the basketball game goes to commercial, FSC is also on commercial? And are the commercials on FSC the silliest commercials ever? They're all along the lines of:
Do you have kids? Are you terrified you don't have enough money to send them to college? Try our scam!
Are you losing your hair, Mr Girly-Man? Try our hair scam!
Does your penis work, you eunuch you? Try our amazing penis pill scam!
Personally, I'm disappointed. Both of these men have been involved in some blow-outs. How can they not have tried a three, if just for the novelty of it? Even Kevin Duckworth shot a few threes. (10 in one season, once!)
If you watch Oregon basketball enough, it becomes hard to conceptualize a player who doesn't fling up a few threes each game. The closest thing Oregon has is Joevon Catron (first name?), and he hardly plays.
Oregon's first nickname was the Webfoots and then that was eventually shortened to Ducks.
The 1939 team was just called The Tall Firs because they were exceptionally tall for the time. Two guys were 6'4" and the star was 6'8" Slim Wintermute, whose real first name was Urgel.
There is an extremely unlikely scenario in which we have a rematch of that first national title game. I'm sure Ohio State will be struggling mentally with previous defeat.
For the record, I played rugby at Pomona, but wasn't technically a Sagecock because the team was club and drew from all five colleges in our consortium.
The team record for steals in an NCAA touranment game is 19.
Providence vs. Austin Peay in 1987 (back when the Friars were coached by Rick Pitino and Billy Donovan was the star) and by UConn against Boston U in 1990.

Three days after Aaron Afflalo was born, the first-ever Nintendo was released in the United States.
In that year, the first Briton made a cell phone call. Ronald Reagan started his second term. "We Are the World" rocketed to #1. The first truly successful implant of an artificial heart was performed. The first-ever blood test for AIDS was approved in the US. Americans were taken hostage in Beirut. Mikhail Gorbachev took power. New Coke was born, and flopped. Route 66 was shut down as a cross-country entity. 9000 people died in a massive earthquake in Mexico City.
38 football fans were killed when a riot broke out at Heysel Stadium in Brussels after a Euro Cup final between Liverpool and Juventus. Don Mattingly and Willie McGee won MVP awards. The Kansas City Royals closed out what was otherwise a top-flight World Series with an 11-0 blowout of the Cardinals.
I moved from Bend to Portland and was taken to Disneyland for my fifth birthday.
The leaders remain the same: jkm1927 and Trojan Ron. Suffering Bruin and El Lay Dave are one point behind.
If North Carolina and Florida win, jkm 1927 will lead.
If North Carolina and Oregon win, El Lay Dave will lead.
If Georgetown wins, Trojan Ron will lead regardless of the outcome of the Florida-Oregon game.
Interestingly, none of these people can win the whole thing.
So enjoy it while you can people, soon you will be off with the Monterey Chrises of the world.
My question is: Has any team ever beat three #1 seeds en route to a national championship? UCLA has knocked out Kansas and could still face Florida and UNC/Ohio State.
Anyone else thing it is bad seeding to seed Florida and UCLA so that they meet in the semifinals this year, instead of the finals? If they were the two best teams last year, and very highly seeded again this year, shouldn't you give them a shot to meet in the finals again?
It's because UCLA was essentially the #5 team. Florida was the overall #1, OSU and UNC are 2-3 (I forget which order), Kansas was #4. Then when the second seeds got placed, UCLA was the best second seed and had to face the worst first seed.
Sometimes this gets tweaked to make some teams play in certain areas and to avoid problems like having BYU playing on a Sunday.
Although they still screw that up at times.

Beautiful weather up here, we'll see what happens this afternoon.
NBC only showed three of them and used these pairings:
Jim Simpson and Tommie Hawkins
Dick Enberg and P-----
Curt Gowdy and John Wooden
The East Regional was only shown locally and highlights were cut in.
I believe that before P-----, Gowdy either called the championship game solo or used Jim Simpson to do interviews.
I hate it when they bring in guys like Brown who are announcers from another sport. Just like I would hate it if I was an NFL fan and Joe Buck was announcing. The announcers are always more knowledgeable when they actually focus on one sport.
His basketball acumen is limited to him yelling "Get Shorty! Get Shorty!"
Outside of that, I think he's human valium.
You will be receiving a beating unlike any other.
Just make sure that there aren't any wallets lying around on the floor where Gottlieb is. Someone may end up with unexpected charges on their Visa.

Three cheers to Bob ripping He Who Shall Not Be Named.
