People are gonna want to talk about these games, even if Tennessee isn't in the tournament. If you picked Valpo over Michigan State, your perfect bracket is officially shot...
(W/R/K: Is it possible to pin this?)
(Edit #2: You can watch games online at The NCAA website:)

If you want to watch a really well coached defense, tune into this Butler game. That is how you coach defense.

Y'all check out number 3 for Bucknell Steven Kaspar. He's my college room mates little brother. He played for ECS in Memphis and is a stud.

Today and tomorrow are two of my favorite days of the year when it comes to sports. 32 basketball games in 48 hours, all with the same thing on the line - a national championship...

I am at work using the company internet (and our cable boxes) to keep up with the games. My NCAA tournament setup is as follows:
Desktop (dual monitors and headphones)
Laptop
4 TVs in the office, each with at least two cable boxes connected (two 52", one 48", one 32")
Sometimes it pays to work for the ISP/Cable provider!!
(I'm off on Fridays, so I'll have two computers running plus my iPad to give me four screens total)

Ryan looks like a cross between Pastner and a buddy of mine from undergrad. And like Callahan, he's getting married this summer (my friend from undergrad, not Pastner).
The similarities are creepy.
