Weekly Random Thoughts On The Carolina Tar Heels
The Heels finished the season 32-2 and earned the number one spot in both polls. They followed their ACC regular season crown with an ACC Tournament title. As a result, they were "rewarded" with the top spot in the NCAA tournament.I put rewarded in quotations because frankly, the Heels were screwed. It's bad enough they'll be facing Indiana or Arkansas in the second round and Pitt in the third round. But to possibly play either Louisville or Tennessee (who should've been a #1 seed instead of Memphis) before they even get to the Final Four is ridiculous. The East is BY FAR the toughest region.

If you're interested in entering my Parent Bloggers NCAA Bracket Challenge, you have until Thursday morning to do so. There's a mix CD and a Cynical Dad lapel pin for the winner.Another Kind Of Tournament
Stefan at Zooglobble is running his KidVid Tournament again this year. The KidVid Tournament pits "16 of the best kids' music videos from the past year or so head-to-head with readers voting to determine the best video of the year." My favorite two songs in the bracket are going to be pitted against each other in the first round (They Might Be Giants and Happy Monsters Band), but Zed and I will be rooting for TMBG to bring home the Zooie!Set Your DVRs
The Riches returned Monday night. If you missed the premiere of the second season, don't worry. It's on FX, so it'll be replayed all week a hundred times or so.A Favor
If you've got a few minutes, BlogHer is running a survey on the people who read this site and others. I like the money their advertisers throw my way each month, so if you have a few minutes (and it only takes a few minutes), I would appreciate it if you would take the survey.Sunday Morning Hangover
