That was a great game Ken. Texas A&M has nobody to blame but themselves for that loss though. They gave Memphis 4 offensive rebound putbacks in the final 10 seconds before fouling them...

Also, Ohio State pulled out another squeaker. As a big man, I loved seeing Greg Oden (an awesome big man) get the game winning block at the buzzer...

I have to agree with you on that Block Casey, what a great block by Oden, very well could be one of the greatest blocks in the history of the tourney.

Well, it is down to Florida and Ohio State. Of the nine people who answered the poll question, only one person has a chance to get it right whomever picked Florida. Nobody picked Ohio State, and the two people who picked North Carolina and the five people who picked one of the other 61 teams were way off...

I really hope Ohio State wins tonight and I will cheer hard for them, but my guess is that Florida will get the "W".

I wish they could both lose.

Well, the season is now officially over. One of my favorite times of the year is on the Championship Monday night, they close the season with "One Shining Moment". It's always such a great tournament tribute, but bittersweet in that no more college hoops until November... The Zags should be much better next year as they only lose Raivio and Mallon, but they get in 4 studs which is their best recruiting class ever (11th best in the nation). Their biggest recruit though is if they can get Heytvelt on the team. If he plays, they will really be rockin' and rollin'... The Cougs will be even better next year as well. They only lose one player (Ivory Clark). They will probably have a Top 15 pre-season ranking and will be rolling quite nicely themselves. We should definitely have some "One Shining Moments" next year here in the Inland Northwest... Is it November yet?

Rock,

I think of you every time I hear or see a One Shining Moment. I see that this year they are available on iTunes! That is so cool. I hope they make them all available someday.

The only one suggestion I have for Rimdancin and Pun on the pool is not to have "One Shining Moment" load every time you visit the pool page. I was ready to shoot my computer the 5th time I visited the site.

I am proud to say that the top 2 finishers are people I signed up. My bookie status is rapidly elevating.

I am with you Golf Coach on that I hope they make all of the "One Shining Moments" available someday. I have a majority of them (1990, 1993-2007), but they are on old vhs tapes, and like you said, I would love to have them all. They should make dvd with all of them on there...

I know one of Rimdancin's favorite things was watching "One Shining Moments" before KHS basketball games in 1996.

Yeah, I used to show this to my kids before our games, especially before the Mullan Tourney.

Rock, I am headed to a Ms game tomorrow. We are in Tacoma for Spring Break.

That is great Simon. Hopefully the M's will get a win for you like they did yesterday. I bet Gracie will love Safeco Field.
