2011 NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship

No upsets.

Saturday’s Results

Seed Team Record Score Region Seed Team Record Score Region

3 *Connecticut 33 – 9 56 West 4 Kentucky 35 – 9 55 East

So this is it.  If you like rooting for the underdog Butler is your pick (BTW Dad- Indianapolis, Indiana).  Their Bulldog mascot got a special pass from the NCAA to be at tonight’s game and the Husky didn’t (I don’t even think they have a real live Husky mascot, it’s not like ‘Handsome Dan’ or ‘Lassie’ so it’s really no big deal).

On the other hand Connecticut has little enough to be proud about unless you think taking a piece of wood and selling it as Nutmeg is cool.  Or the Slave Trade and Cotton Gin.  Or Sewing Machine Sweat Shops.  Or Guns.

I do think the Connecticut Compromise was a good idea even though the Senate has become disfunctional.  It’s their own damn fault, there is no Constitutional basis for the filibuster other than allowing each house to set its own rules.

So I’ll be rooting for the team with the deeply stupid fight song again-

UConn Huskies

UConn Husky, symbol of might to the foe.

Fight, fight Connecticut, It’s vict’ry, Let’s go. (go. go. go)

Connecticut UConn Husky,

Do it again for the White and Blue

So go--go--go Connecticut, Connecticut U.

C-O-N-N-E-C-T-I-C-U-T

Connecticut, Conneticut Husky, Connecticut Husky

Connecticut C-O-N-N-U!

  2. that it’s starting right now, but in fact there are 39 minutes of hype before the Tip Off.

  3. they have someone who can sing the anthem decently

  15. I’m so not trying to report every score.

  16. What did I say about dull?

  17. Buzzer beater 3.

  18. This certainly could go either way, especially if they both can maintain the energy levels. I saw the women wearing out in the second half

  22. I actually like those end zone shots because I think that’s the way the players see the game instead of the normal left right shots.

  24. in the history of the championships

  25. that unfair to paint

  26. foul on UConn

  30. Huskies look to be pulling away.

    Relatively.

  32. have not disappointed

  35. last night after the Ladies lost but this is making me feel better.

    I’ve decided to root for A&M because I don’t like Notre Dame

  37. Game over.
