| Welcome back to the Sweet Sixteen. And also welcome back to me, your beloved Commissioner, as I have returned safe and sound from cold and dreary Orlando, Florida. Brrrrrr � trust me, it was hell down there. Pure hell. In any event, I�m sure everyone is glad to see as well that I have also safely put down �The Hurley Rebellion� (as it came to be known as in later years), firmly cementing my grip on the seat of NCAA power in the process. Hopefully, this will serve to keep any further uprisings at bay as well. As if folks needed another reminder not to mess with me, this recalls the recent disagreement I had with my neighbor, Dan �The Real Slim" Sheedy, who lives right behind me. Or rather, used to live behind me. We all remember how that worked out for him �. |

| Used to be my neighbor. Now she only comes by to use the pool |
| Yours truly is mired amongst the rabble in 71st place with a modestly respectable score of 47 points. However, I am beating Queen Cleopatra (Lisa) and our two non-rent paying tenants (Jack and Lauren), so that�s all I care about. And although I�ve lost Texas from my Final Four, I�ve still got both of my finalists, Kansas and Texas A&M intact, so there�s still hope for me to stake out a claim to some NCAA payola before all is said and done. Matter of fact, I think there are only two people with Kansas over Texas A&M, so if that scenario comes to fruition, I will be in the money. Hey, it�s got to happen ONE of these years, right? Okay, schedule-wise, games resume today as follows: |
| 7:10 PM 7:27 PM 9:40 PM 9:57 PM |
| Southern Ill. #4 Texas A&M #3 Pittsburgh #3 Tennessee #5 |
| vs vs vs vs |
| Kansas #1 Memphis #2 UCLA #2 Ohio St. #1 |

| Both of my finalists playing at the same time? This could get ugly |
