Ahh, the life of a procrastinator

I should be studying. I have a Greek final in 1 hour. It is cumulative over the last two quarters which means that I must memorize a lot of stuff I am currently not memorizing (because I am blogging).

I have a New Testament final directly after that. What do I need to study Paul's letters for, they already happened? Do you know what hasn't happened yet? The last half of the games in the tournament today.

What ridiculous seminary schedules finals the opening week of March Madness (not to mention this thing called Easter, which other people are just as upset at them as I am about the tourney).

So, I have already lost 2 games today. Not too bad so far. I don't like UNLV so I always pick against them. They embarrassed Kent State. That is ok, they will get embarrassed Saturday by Kansas.

And my Baylor Bears went down to Purdue today. Not a big surprise. They should the three at will, play no defense, and have been slumping lately. Luckily I did not take them beyond this round because Xavier looks tough. Talk about a team that plays great defense.

I know that upsets always happen in the tourney but it seems like there will be less of them this year. Just a hunch.

Here is how I hope the tournament plays out this year (thank you Pat Forde):
Worst Case Scenario For Duke (best for me) - Interior vulnerability catches up with the Blue Devils in the second round, leaving the tournament on a two-year streak of Dukelessness in the Sweet 16. CBS executives are on suicide watch. American Express is downtrodden. State Farm is crestfallen. Chapel Hill is euphoric. Heels win national title when Hansbrough is sent to the foul line 18 times in the final game. Joyful Roy Williams congratulates his team afterward on playing through so many injuries.
