"It's awesome baybee!"

Here we are at the beginning of the college basketball tournament, and what do you know, UNT made it this year. That hasn't happened since what? 1980? Never? I don't really know. We're enjoying it while it lasts, and good luck humbling ANYBODY here at UNT if they pull off some miracle on Friday. I'm intelligent enough to know this is unlikely, but seeing as BYU and UNT are both in the southern conference, wouldn't it be fun to see them play? (While I'm typing this, the folks at ESPN, including our VERY old friend quoted above, are predicting BYU to win over Xavier, but probably not Ohio)

Meanwhile, back on Earth, the Dallas Mavericks are getting annihilated by the media after ending their 17 game winning streak. They are 2.5 games ahead of the 2nd place team, and yet they're SUCH a horrible team suffering now from a 2 game losing streak. Okay, lets think about this for a second. "A 2 game losing streak". Does that make any sense to you at all? The Mavericks have been a big media target for a long time, likely because they've never won a championship.

My brothers and I had the chance to go to a Dallas Stars game on Tuesday. It was really a lot of fun. Philladelphia is a very big, VERY physical team, and there was plenty of rough playing. Mike Modano made the night a special one when he scored his 500th career goal. Everyone was on their feet for a good five minutes or so.
