My cousin and my best friend each live in St Louis.

I lived in nearby Belleville IL. After leaving the USAF, I worked at the STL main post office. This was during the Kurt Warner Rams era. I have fond memories of watching The Greatest Show on Turf.

As for March Madness. I am pumped. I am happy for the Saint Louis Billikens and their fans.

Even though I've watched much more college hoop this year with the amazing draft class,
I've no idea what to predict. That said, I've also very little experience at it.

I expect we'll see many familiar teams after this weekend.

I must be the only one here who is saddened that UMBC lost. Yeah, the loss was to Howard (glad they made it), but come on its UMBC... the giant slayers. Ah well.

Does anyone here have High Point? I didnt see that coming. Thoughts on Rob Martin, the guard from High Point...? He had some really good assists (10 assists total) to go with his 23 pts.

I picked Duke in my brackets, but they looked kinda shakey there. David Punch, who stood out in the TCU win, will have a great machup against Duke. I'd like to see how Duke covers Punch.

Peterson's jumper needs work. His defense is fantastic. Maybe a little too good, he drifts away from his man hunting steals.

Peterson still doesn't look right physically but who knows?

There should be a height limit in the NBA, what are they putting in food to produce these freaks.

Houston is going to the final four. What a ferocious team.

Peterson was contained, St. John’s won a thriller at the buzzer.

I'm happy for St Johns and I was rooting for them, but it is too bad we won't get the Duke-Kansas matchup Boozer vs Peterson. Would of been a great game, Badunga vs Ngongba, Boozer vs Tiller, Peterson vs Sarr & Evans...
