2008 NCAA Tournament Preview

The greatest day of the year is upon us. Enjoy. East #1 North Carolina vs. #16 Mount St. Mary's Why does the "Saint" get abbreviated and not the "Mount"? Is there some sort of unspoken hierarchy of abbreviations which puts mountains ahead of those canonized by the church? Do you think William McKinley talks smack about this to Mother Teresa during their weekly games of Stratego? Pick: North Carolina #8 Indiana vs. #9 Arkansas Buying out Kelvin Sampson's contract cost Indiana $750,000, which s read

Beauty + Power = Sublime

I’m perusing videos uploaded to YouTube detailing the storm and resulting damage from Friday’s tornado in Atlanta. It’s fascinating to me how websites like Flickr and YouTube allow for such dynamic and more or less real-time citizen journalism. These websites foster an organic creation of a veritable archive, of sorts, recording important, interesting and personal events. The founder and director of ArtsLink lives near downtown Atlanta but, thankfully, was unharmed; the house her and her husba read

GEORGIA BULLDOGS ARE HIGH ON BASKETBALL

They plodded through the regular season with only four wins against conference opponents. Their final record was just one victory over .500 and their greatest margin of victory came against Jacksonville State (yes, Jacksonville State does have a basketball team). So, they entered the SEC tourney on a wing and a prayer. Their best hope, was to live through the first round fighting the one and done title basketball pundits branded on their chests. Their embattled coach must have been looking read

NCAA Tournament First Round: Xavier Scores Comeback Win Over Tired Georgia

The Georgia Bulldogs fought valiantly through the tough conditions of the SEC tournament, including having to play two games in one day after a tornado delayed action.

Live from the Living Room - NCAA Thursday First Afternoon Session

Rather than doing a "live" blog from the living room I will comment on the games as they happen while interspersing thoughts as my bracket collapses. FIRST BLOCK OF GAMES - GEORGIA V. XAVIER, KANSAS V. PORTLAND ST., MICHIGAN ST. V. TEMPLE Wonder how the Vikings like the treatment in their first dance? Instead of warming up with a simple foxtrot they get the early morning wake-up call to do the mirengue with a heavily favored Jayhawk squad. Now we're set from palatial Marcadia Arena. Got t read

March Madness Indeed: Top 10 College Foods for Blitzed Students

J&J Blog Just at the buzzer, Endless Simmer shoots and scores with a guide that ranks the teams in this year's NCAA tournament based on which schools have the best foods to eat while drinkin'. Endless Simmer's choices are solid, but like any bracket, there's room for debate. They've ranked Georgia at No. 1 for its nearby Luther Burger. A solid choice, but perhaps the obvious one. I'm pulling for a Cinderella win from underdogs Wisconsin, represented by the mac-and-cheese pizza available read

March Madness is easily the most popular college sports event in the country. I think its appeal is due to the large number of teams, increasing the likelihood of your alma mater participating, and for gamblers the lure of so many chances to read

I'm descending, pretending, i'm blending, i'm going insane...

As I may have mentioned, my mom's birthday was this past Monday. As I may have also mentioned, I gave her a DVD with 47 clips of a total of 79 people wishing her a happy birthday. It was a little over 8 minutes long. I gave this to her LAST Monday, though, because I was afraid someone would let it slip to her what I was doing. The night I gave it to her, I also told her that my beloved ice crusher was broken, and not working and I was just going to go get a blender instead. We had an ad from Ko read
