Weekly Random Thoughts On The Carolina Tar Heels

The Heels advanced to the Final Four with a 68-47 win over Washington State and a 83-73 victory over Louisville. Tyler Hansbrough was named the regional MVP and finished the Louisville game with 28 points and 13 rebounds.

Carolina plays Kansas on Saturday. I really don't think they'll have much trouble with Kansas. Memphis is the team that scares me. I originally picked UNC over UCLA in the championship game, but Memphis played lights-out last weekend in easy wins over Michigan State and Texas.

If the Heels beat Kansas, I'm seriously considering watching the championship game in the Dean Dome with the college kids. But then again, I'm old and wouldn't be home until 1:00 AM, rendering me useless the next day.

If they win it all, do Hansbrough, Lawson, and Ellington pull a Florida and return another year to try for a repeat? Or do they head for the money? I'm betting Hansbrough will return, win or lose.

Weekly Random Thoughts On The New York Yankees

The Yankees are 1-0 and are currently tied for first with the Tampa Bay Devil Rays atop the AL East.

I'm so glad baseball is back.

I Really Thought This Was An April Fool's Day Joke

Dr. Pepper is giving away a free can of soda to everyone in America if Axl Rose releases Chinese Democracy this year.

The Broken Engagement Revisited

I am quite happy that so many of you enjoyed my April Fool's Day prank. I wasn't so sure about it. Ella told me not to post it, so I asked for a second opinion. I ran the tale by Motherbumper and she gave me the green light.

For those of you who asked, the whole thing was entirely false. While I've dated a cheerleader, she was in the same grade as I was. I've had break-ups where I've shut out the world, listened to sad songs, and stalked the girl's place, but I've never fought over a girl. I've never spent a night in jail. I've never plotted to kill anyone.

But there's always tomorrow!

Sunday Morning Hangover

No Sunday Morning Hangover this week. I've been really slack in reading others' sites.
