March Madness!

The good news about this year's NCAA Touranment is that the Fighting Illini made the Sweet Sixteen. They looked pretty convincing in their first two tournament games, and I think they will give Duke a heck of a game. Even if the Illini don't win reach the Final Four this year, they are a young team and likely be a threat to make it next year.

The bad news is that my NCAA pool took a major hit. OK, I'm in first place in our 17-entry pool after the first two rounds, but that won't last. I made the mistake of picking Kentucky to win the title. I was in good shape after the first few games Sunday afternoon, but UAB's stunning upset all but knocks me out of the pool, unless there are some more stunning upsets next weekend.

If that wasn't bad enough, Kentucky's loss also means Ashley Judd won't be visiting St. Louis next weekend. Darn the luck!
