... But I'm a nOOb, too. As I was entering, I overhead a guy, prolly twenty-eight or thirty, talking about seeing the Lips in '89 or '90 at UW-Milwaukee, when they were touring (?) with Nirvana. (Might have just been a one-off. Plus, Nirvana bailed.)

]]> <![CDATA[A Great Tournament Capped With A Great Game]]> I'm no basketball genius or anything, but can someone explain to me why Memphis didn't pack into a 2-3 zone and force Kansas to make a shot outside of 5 feet after getting killed inside the entire first 35 minutes?

I was referring to the fact Mizzou won the north division. Oklahoma won the south.

Either way I got nothing against Mizzou fans...I enjoy trading the barbs and insults...if it wasn't for you guys we wouldn't have mortal enemies and that would be bland. I just quietly hope they don't win anything important while I'm alive.

The shit show they decided to put on the rest of the way when they scored about a point per minute still makes me mad.

]]> <![CDATA[A Great Tournament Capped With A Great Game]]> For the record, I just looked at my original written bracket (I had transferred it to my handy Excel spreadsheet tracking system), and noticed that I had Kansas crossed out for the national champion, instead putting in UNC.

I did that bracket by starting with Kansas as the champ, and worked my way out. Goddamnit.

]]> <![CDATA[A Great Tournament Capped With A Great Game]]> It is amazing that Kansas won this despite doing their dammnest in the last 30 seconds of regulation to make sure that Memphis didn't blow it. Shouldn't forget when it was 62-60 with about 25-30 seconds left, Collins did have a layup blocked on a drive in an attempt to tie it. Also, Kansas did allow Memphis to grab the rebound off the miss free throw with 16 seconds enabling them another chance to put it away. Just goes to underline how much Memphis did give this one away in the last couple of minutes. Congrats to Kansas. A lot of teams wouldn't have taken advantage of it.
