Selection Sunday + Bracket Challenge
-
Unfortunately Wisconsin looked a lot like us in losses, not matching energy and effort
-
Huge sequence for Siena. Missed two dunks and led to a transition bucket on the other end. This could flip FAST
-
Not sure ya'll realize, but this Siena/Duke game is a real tough one to root for either side.
I mean, everybody wants to watch Duke lose!!!
But Siena's coach is Gerry !@#$% McNamara.
If you don't recall, you will when you look him up. We don't like him.

Yep this one is curtains. You just can’t go all 40 with the same 5
-
I guess congrats dook on the huge win
-
@rockchalkjayhawk hey silver lining! Thx 4 this
-
@rockchalkjayhawk I would root against Duke if Ted Bundy was the opposing coach
America! Where you have the right to be wrong.

There's something about a gut punch loss that makes me philosophical. Because I have to come to grips with the disappointment so that it doesn't drag me down into the dumps I look to so many people and life circumstances that prevents me from feeling sorry for myself. That fact that it could happen again tomorrow or Sunday makes being a fan of two teams all the more 'difficult'. But it is just a game and baseball starts in 2 weeks and i have spring break in 2 weeks, and well, I'll get over it. KU surviving into next week would help. Except for one massive exception in 2022, both of my teams ending the season disappointingly every season. Even the Covid year was a BIG championship for UW and fans were excited for the postseason.
Having been a fan of 3 KU champions and 1 White Sox winner is pretty good though. I consider 1988 to be my championship since I was a senior. That's a memory that has taken me through the tough endings of so many seasons. But I do hope to see a few more before I go on home to heaven.

Ted's team would just eat 'em alive.

@wissox83 I like your attitude. I can be really disappointed in sports but it never wrecks my day! Never have understood the anger from some people.

@mayjay It's not so much about my attitude but it's that I have to protect myself from letting it ruin my day. Today after the Badger loss, I went disc golfing which I love to do, and it was the first nice day in about a month that I could get out. Had some music on and it really cleared my head.
The KU loss in 97 was one it took a lonnggg time to get over, felt like weeks. That one was tough.

Well friends, I took a break from sports this past week. We just got back from Colorado with the kids being on spring break. Breaking tradition yet again this season. This is the first time in my life that I not only didn’t watch the selection show but I didn’t fill out a single bracket. Maybe it’s a good omen for us.
