Coach K vs. The Devil

As I was watching today's Duke vs. Michigan 3rd round tournament game, I noticed something... Coach K. and the Duke mascot look pretty similar. How have I never noticed this before?

The nose, the chin, the ears... dare I say twins?

Well I thought I'd touch up Coach K's picture a bit, and now you can't even tell them apart.

March Madness

It's been a while my friends, but I'm back writing... for now.

As I'm watching another "3rd Round" March Madness game, I had to comment on how great this tournament is. Besides a few first round games - namely the 1 vs. 16 games - every game is up for grabs. Any team, regardless of seeding, could pull off an upset. When you get past the initial games, this is even more evident. Seeing a #1 Pittsburgh lose, watching another #1 Duke almost lose in the final seconds, one realizes anything can happen. Like "any given Sunday" in the NFL, on any day a team could win and that's what makes this tournament so great.

Another reason college basketball is so entertaining is the fact that these kids are passionate. They're not spoiled millionaires (although some will be soon) and they're playing with heart.

There's been talk of expanding the tournament to 96 teams, and I think that's just ridiculous. By adding almost 30 teams, you're just watering down the competition. You will still have teams and fans complaining their team didn't get in, unfortunately that will never end.

Just a couple thoughts...

GO UCONN!!!
