My 2 year-old Sophie picked a bad day to fall at school, hurt her arm and need to come home. My first thought was, damn, Ohio State and Dayton at 5:15, does she really need to go to the doctor. She's sleeping now and we'll check the arm later. I am "sure" it is ok! :)
Was surprised to flip on the tivo games from last night this morning and see none other than ex-IU coach Mike Davis on the sidelines for Texas Southern. Not surprising that he had the best player on the court and still got taken down. Very disappointed to later watch the first Big 10 team get put on the sidelines. The Volunteers (this blog post in orange to give Cuonzo Martin some kudos for saving his job!) had some serious beef in the middle and they hit some big 3s while Iowa threw bricks from the 3 point line. Damn, now I am really starting from a hole on my Big 10 vs (former) Big 12 team bet with Tom Wojt.
Hopski entries have reached 114 and I must say, this year's crop of entry names is outstanding. I have been LOL throughout the past two days as I downloaded the entries.
Once the games tip-off, the Hopski entries will be closed. To avoid any issues (this has only happened once or twice in past Hopskis), sometime today, go and check the website and ensure that your picks are listed. IF for some reason they are not there (under the reports tab, player picks), then email me immediately your picks and I will get them added to the pool.
These first two days are generally bad viewing days for the Commish as I have hoops practice in the evenings and doubt the motivation to stay up much past midnight. So……any updates via the blog or random musings on whatsapp (yes - join the fun and download whatsapp, I can add you to the March Madness live text chat, let me know) may be time delayed. More so, Saturday's early games will be tivo'd here as well due to an away game keeping me out of the house until 10pm.
On the bright side, I can skip those 12 commercial breaks per game. Those are just killers when watching live and after midnight over here.
The Commish will go "live" more on Saturday and Sunday.
Enjoy the Madness!!!
Just downloaded WhatsApp. Can you add me to the chat?
