This blog is all about extolling the greatness of Christ, the joy of marriage, the rollercoaster ride called parenthood, the supremacy of the 1980's...and doing all of it at a fifth grade reading level!

My New Favorite Team

Is there anything greater (in the world of sports, that is) than the NCAA Basketball Tournament?

Let me help you answer that question. "NO!"

And the great thing about it is that every year something crazy happens. This year, it's the craziest of the crazy with George Mason advancing all the way to the Final Four as a Number 11 seed!

While that is exciting to me and to basketball fans all over the world...what is MOST exciting to me is who DIDN'T make the Final Four. That would be Dickie V's favorite team (Duke) AND the evil empire from the weirdest city on the planet (Texas).

And who do we have to thank for that? Why, the same team managed to knock both of these pestilences from the face of the basketball earth!!

So let's give a hearty "GEAUX TIGERS" to the bayou bengals from LSU! Thank you for allowing me to see a beaten-down J.J. Redick looking for a place to cry. Thank you for turning P.J. Tucker, the self proclaimed "Punisher" into the punished!

Three cheers for "Big Baby," Darrel Mitchell, and the rest of the gang!

I didnt think that it could get any worse than a couple of posts ago, and then you're here with this junk - "Go LSU..."

How can you root for LSU over George Mason? GM beat Michigan State and North Carolina and Connecticut to get there. Go George Mason whatever your nickname is!

I just like that all of the talking heads were wrong about everything...

Which is the best conference? SEC has two teams in the Final four; no one thought they would have any. Pac-10 has one; again, no one thought they would have any; Then, the Colonial Athletic Conference?

The greatest news is we don't have to hear about the ACC, Big East, Big Ten, and Big 12 any more! I'm going for the under dog - George Mason Patriots!
