Day One is Done. I'm with Stafford.

/

Solid amount of craziness in the early sessions, followed by some great finishes in the evening.  All in all a great first day in Bracketville.  Justin (AKA Mr. Princess) is at the top of the points and points possible leaderboard, which is about as good as it gets after a pair of 3-seeds go down.

I think we'll lose one of the 2-seed teams today, and I feel like the 5-12's might just go chalk, which I guess is a non-upset upset.

Of course, I only have one real rooting interest for today (and with me going 8 of 16 in my bracket who can blame me) and that's for the Bulldogs.  If you listen carefully you will hear the echoes of me bellowing out northern accented renditions of "Go Dawgs, Sic 'Em" nestled between chants of "SEC! SEC! SEC!."  I can't wait to see Izzo's angry little dwarf face.

Then the puck drops at 8pm at the Joe for Michigan-Michigan State in the Big Ten tournament semi-finals.  So there's that.  Go Blue.

Weekend Roundup: And Sparty Makes Three Edition, 1/27/14

Ahhhhh nature...

So, basketball.  This roller coaster ride is bound to have some additional peaks and valleys before we can put a final label on it.  But to not celebrate the enormity of the last three victories, particularly the one that occurred in East Lansing, would be doing a disservice to top 10 victories everywhere.  Therefore, it's a celebration bitches.  After a brief December hiatus, we are back in THE discussion.  And we are getting very close to always being in that discussion.  That's what a successful program is.   Copy this plan and use it in Schembechler Hall please.  Thanks.
