8:02 – Storm passing through, we lost our satellite signal on one of of our TVs.
8:08 – There’s no way we get two number 15 upsets do we? Duke up just two vs. Lehigh at the half. That’s never happened.
8:10 – I had an Abbot and Costello moment with Michael:
Michael: “What’s a Billiken?”
Me: “That thing right there (points to logo of Billiken)”
Michael: “What is that?”
Me: “A Billiken”
This went on for awhile. Continue reading →
12:15 – Time for more madness. I’m hoping today’s games will bring a few more close games and upsets.
12:55 – I grab a pizza for us to eat from Capriccio’s. It’s one of the best places in Charlotte to get pizza. Get the Sicilian pizza. It’s HUGE!
1:15 – I hate how the NCAA is calling this round the second round. That means 60 teams got a bye.
1:53 – It looks like NC State and San Diego State will give us our first good game of the day. It was back and forth throughout the first half, second half underway… Continue reading →

7:00 – While Kentucky is under way with their game, we decide that it’s time to shoot more basketball outside. My buddy Eric used to play basketball with some of his not so athletic friends back in high school. They would call themselves “And None.” And One was the talented group of basketball players who traveled the world and play an entertaining form of streetball. And None is what you think it is: terrible basketball. That label definitely applied to our game of 21 today… Continue reading →
The bracket madness is here! A second Christmas for college basketball fans. I’ve decided to go with the running diary format ala Bill Simmons (and many others) for the first two days of the tournament. With so many games going on at once it’s pretty hard to make critical observations.
I’m gonna break these up into day caps and night caps, so we will have two parts posted by the end of the day. By the way you can follow me on Twitter @pplcallmeblue for live thoughts and discussion.
I’ll also update everyone on the Sports Spectrum bracket challenge. Enjoy the games! Continue reading →
When others fall, we learn even more about ourselves because of how we treat the fallen—and most of the time what we learn in that moment, and through our actions, is just as bad, or worse, than what we learned when we fell… Continue reading →
The Zeller brothers have fired up their hometown of Washington, Ind. for March Madness. People throughout the town have been seen wearing Tar Heel blue or Indiana crimson in support of Washington’s favorite sons. Zeller jerseys have been flying off the racks…
Tyler Zeller
Tyler Zeller has been named Second-Team All-America by the U.S. Basketball Writers Association (USBWA). Tyler is also this year’s ACC Player of the Year, an award a North Carolina senior has not won since Phil Ford in 1978.
Tyler and the North Carolina Tar Heels earned a No. 1 seed in the upcoming NCAA tournament and will face the No. 16 seed (winner between Lamar and Vermont in the First Four).
The New York Times’ Pete Thamel writes about Tyler’s quiet leadership…
Cody Zeller
Cody Zeller and the Indiana Hoosiers earned a No. 4 seed and will play the 13th seeded New Mexico State Aggies in the NCAA tournament. Cody helped IU get their first Big Ten conference tournament win since 2006 last week and their first NCAA tournament appearance since 2008.
Cody is the Big Ten Freshman of the Year and appears in the current Winter 2012 DigiMag issue of Sports Spectrum. A four-page feature on Cody is also in our upcoming Spring 2012 issue. Click here to subscribe.
