Finals

My weekend was good. I worked some, caught up on studies, did some laundry, and spent a few hours out on the lake with several friends. I even got to ski for a bit, it was awesome. It felt good to have time at home to catch up on random stuff that needs to get [...]

178 Miles

I didn’t take another picture during the BP MS150. After lunch on Saturday, we hit the road again, and it got hot. I didn’t hear an official temperature reading, but I think it was in the 90′s. And I felt it. All afternoon. Saturday’s ride from Houston to La Grange is 100 miles. I made [...]

The BP MS150

My girlfriend and I are riding from Houston to Austin in the BP MS150 in just a couple of weeks. The purpose of this ride, apart from a bunch of fun and sore legs, is to support the National Multiple Sclerosis Society and their fight to end MS. And that’s where you come in. Would [...]

George Mason

Man, what a crazy tourney this year. Saturday 11th seeded George Mason destroyed almost every bracket by beating first seeded Connecticut to reach the Final Four. Who on earth could have predicted that? I was really bummed to see my Longhorns fall to LSU. I watched the game, and we were in it until the [...]

Action

Was last night’s tournament exciting or what? For me it started with the tail end of the Duke / LSU game. It was a really sloppy game because both teams were so keyed up, there were lots of stupid fouls and sloppy ball handling. But the whole time I watched I was stunned that Duke [...]

Bracket Update

Okay, so after the first round I’m not doing bad. I had picked Kansas to make it to the Sweet Sixteen, which was thwarted by Bradley, and I had picked Arkansas to make it through to the Elite Eight. So those two have cost me. I don’t have any room for gloating or smack talk, [...]

Games On The Web

I just found out that all of the tournament games are viewable online. NCAA is streaming all of the games from their site. From that page, click on the “NCAA March Madness OnDemand” link. You’ll have to create a login, but then you can select from any game that’s currently available (they block the game [...]

My Bracket

Okay, it took me some surfing to figure it out, but I finally found a bracket that I could configure on the web and save as a .pdf file. So, here’s my bracket. Lenwood’s 2006 Bracket I know what you’re thinking. Duke will fall to Texas? Yeah, well, its MY bracket, and I can’t hope [...]

Suggestions?

Any ideas on how I can post my bracket? I don’t have easy access to a scanner. Is there an online form that I can link to or something? Any ideas?
