The Breakfast Club (Communicate)

Welcome to The Breakfast Club! We’re a disorganized group of rebel lefties who hang out and chat if and when we’re not too hungover we’ve been bailed out we’re not too exhausted from last night’s (CENSORED) the caffeine kicks in. Join us every weekday morning at 9am (ET) and weekend morning at 10:00am (ET) (or whenever we get around to it) to talk about current news and our boring lives and to make fun of LaEscapee! If we are ever running late, it’s PhilJD’s fault.

We have more media than ever and more technology in our lives. It’s supposed to help us communicate, but it has the opposite effect of isolating us.

There has never been a double over time in the Elite 8 until tonight. Game between #2 UConn and #1 NC State has been pretty much a nail biter from the second half with the lead bouncing back and forth since the 4th quarter. #2 UConn will go on to the Final Four on April 1 to play #1 Stanford. Sadly, #3 Michigan fell to #! Louisville, who play S. Carolina,

NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament 2022: Elite 8 – Day 2

#2 Villanova goes to the Final Four after defeating #6 Houston in one of the lowest scoring games in this tournament. Good game by #2 Duke over #4 Arkansas..

8:49 TBS 4 Arkansas 28 – 8 69 2 Duke* 31- 6 78 West

The game everyone will be watching is the 16 St. Peter’s – #8 N. Carolina.

2:20 CBS 10 Miami (FL) 26 – 10 50 1 Kansas* 31 – 6 76 West
5:05 CBS 15 St. Peter’s 22 – 11 49 8 N. Carolina* 27 – 9 69 East

#1 Kansas moves on to the Final Four after handily trouncing #10 Miami in the second half of the game. Bigger and stronger #8 N. Carolina ended the bracket busting #15 St. Peter’s run, a great team with a lot of spunk. I hope we’ll see them again next year.

The CBS game analysts are looking spiffy today. Greg Gumbel has definitely improved. He is wearing a almost dark blue with subtle white pattern suit with a white shirt, a white on tan striped tie (nice contrast) with a dark brown pocket square. Clark Kellogg again sports hi blue on tan plaid suit, adding the matching vest with a pale blue shirt, white on tan striped tie. Kenny Smith has gone with a white speckled on medium blue sports jacket and black slacks, blue and white striped shirt with solid white collar, a black tie and white pocket square. Charles Barkley bragged in the pre-game show that his super power was being able to get away with wearing anything on TV.. Tonight, he sports a classic, very dark charcoal grey suit, white shirt and a satin tie that matches the color of the suit.

Twas a night for the underdogs. #15 St. Peter’s did what no #15 has ever done – advance to the Elite 8.#8 N.Carolina took out heavily favored #4 UCLA. Two other underdogs from the night before, #4 Arkansas and #6 Houston who defeated 2 #1’s, will join them.

I must say the attire of the CBS analysts is improving. Greg Gumbel has ditched the glaring ties that clashed with his suit. Tonight he wore a whore on blue plaid suit, white shirt, white on red pattered tie with a dark red pocket square. Clark Kellogg donned a blue on tan suit,white shirt with a brown on blue paisley tie. Kenny Smith wore a light brown suit, white shirt with a dark brown tie and brown and black pocket square. Charles Barkley wore his best look so far, a Tan with white striped suit, white shirt and light brown with white striped patterned tie.
