Sad news this morning (click here to avoid any sports talk)….

After leading by 8 points at halftime, SU finally ran out of gas and lost to Louisville in the Big East Championship game. Too bad.

This was a pretty scary moment:

Fortunately, he turned out to be OK. Now we wait to see where they get seeded for the NCAA tournament. I figure them for a three or (more likely) a four seed.

Also, congratulations to Kevin and the Akron Zips (BTW, Kev, what’s with the kangaroo?) on winning the MAC last night, and earning a trip to the NCAAs for the first time since 1986.

On the lacrosse side, in a rematch of last year’s NCAA Championship game teams, it was SU 14 Johns Hopkins 11.

What the hell, might as well plug my old high school, too, who earned another trip to the NY State Final Four, winning 90 – 61. They’re ranked #1 in the State, and look like they may successfully defend their titles (yeah, they have two tournaments here; first the public schools, and then the “federation” or something that has the NYC Catholic schools in it) again this year.

Will Ferrell as Dubya on HBO last night? Friggin’ excellent (especially that hot Condi, though they neglected to give her the big tooth gap). I gotta teach Granny the Western grip.
