Last basketball season, Becky and I went to St. Louis for the Missouri Valley Conference tournament. This season, we’ll be going back for something even cooler: the Sweet 16 and Elite 8!
As a combined Christmas/anniversary gift, Becky bought me two tickets (well, okay, one of the two is for her… but it’s still fundamentally a present for me) to the NCAA regional semifinals and final on Friday and Sunday, March 23 and 25, at the Edward Jones Dome in St. Louis. WOOHOO!!!
Now, Gonzaga just needs to be in the Midwest Region, and needs to make it to the Sweet 16… :)
I got lots of other cool Christmas presents, but this is the one I’m most psyched about at the moment. I love Becky!
Very doubtful. I cheer for the Bruins in nonconference play in football, because the rivalries between conferences are so intense in football that I’m willing to swallow the bitter pill of cheering for UCLA in order to make the Pac-10 (and, by extension, my Trojans) look good. In basketball, it seems like people don’t care as much about the conference pissing contest. I certainly don’t. And besides, the Pac-10 gets more respect in basketball than it does in football, so I’m less desperate for respect. So, no, unless UCLA was playing some other team I hate, like Duke, I’d be very unlikely to root for them.

On a sad Christmas note, the Godfather of Soul, James Brown, is dead…

…I understand his last words were, “I Feel Bad, hah!”
Sorry. I’m going to Hell now.

Awesome. You should be able to get your MVC fix too.

But could you cheer for UCLA if they’re playing?
