As the great Dick Vitale would say "It's AWESOME BABY!"

WE GOT IN!!!! woohoo!! I can't tell you how nervous I was selection sunday, but we were the 4th team announced! A horrible draw, but I am just happy to be in. We are the the 9th seed and play 8th seeded Arizona in New Orleans. I am not going, unless one of you live in New Orleans, and will put me up? haha. Some of the more noteable snubs, Drexel, Syracuse, and Air Force. Also I was 63/65 predicting who would make it. How the hell did Arkansas get in, sorry Cheryl. So, we play Friday at 7:20 pm cheer for us please. A little less dramatic our women got their March Madness assignment tonight as well. We are the 2 seed in the Dallas regional. We open play vs Oral Roberts at 10:00 pm this Saturday BOILER UP! Such exciting times!

I have chosen to do a blogger bracket contest, and I chose 12 bloggers to compete. I have emailed them and heard back from 5 but not the rest SLACKERS! haha. They are put into specific regions will pick the games in that region only. The 4 winners will then compete in the Final Four, and Championship game. I am trying to think of a prize for the winner? Any suggestions? A date with me? haha I only put out if you buy me dinner first. OK that is not really true. Anyway if you were one of the lucky ones to get an email, please respond by Wed! I am going to post your brackets here on the blog. Even if you don't want to participate write me back please so I can get someone else. A couple of you I wanted to select but couldn't find your email address, ANGEL JR!!!

First tennis practice went well today, still don't have an assistant coach though. It wasn't so bad today because I only have 11 girls out! That is the lowest number since my first year. They must all have gone out for softball. Hard to compete with a team that can win a state title. We're not going to be very good, but they are nice hard working kids. The weather was awesome but it's suppose to be cold and possible snow again Friday YUCK!!!

Hope everyone is having a good week so far. If I emailed you get me your brackets ASAP please. I will do brackets as well.

I hate Dick Vitale. I love female tennis players.

I'm a perv ...so what ...

Maybe if Dick Vitale played tennis in a short skirt I might like him more, but probably not.

More snow on the way already? Ha, I know how much you love the stuff Phats.

Our basketball team didn't even make the NIT. Damn them. Well the rivals are a #3 seed, WSU. We'll see if they go anywhere.
