Go to Hail

Yinzers,

So as usual the Pitt Panthers exited stage right yesterday losing their first round game against UCONN yesterday. What's new? Pitt went 26-4 in the regular season , and they are still a Number one rank overall for the NCAA tournament. WHY Bother to get excited? So now the waiting game goes into effect until 6pm on Selection Sunday!

Penguins went the other way this week giving a 3 year extension to Head Coach Disco Dan Billy-smith. He is also up for Coach of the year , as he continues to Push the Superstar-less Penguins on this drive toward the Playoffs. ( 2pm vs Habs on Saturday,1pm on Sunday) Matinee Weekend.

Kind of a Short Blog Today, I hope Everyone has a great weekend!

St. Patricks Day right around the corner, Basketball Brackets come out and Charlie Sheen still Winning.

ST. Patricks Day!

Yinzers,

So today is my favorite holiday. I can be loud , drunk and in public and I am finally accepted. St. Patrick's day is finally Americanized with huge parades and celebrations the weekend prior too. Rod and I were in full force in Savannah GA. this past weekend. We will have full tournament coverage this week. Until then May girls not pull up your kilt, may your new picked flowers not wilt, may there be beer in your glass, and if your not Irish kiss my ass. ( except the Brognano's they are Italian)

Top 'o the Mornin' to you all,

I spent my St. Patty's day in an incoherent state. I hadn't drank in a bit and it sure showed. By noon I could barely form a sentence, by one I had lost Nix and by 6 I was in the car mumbling obscenities at Nix. I'd say it was an excellent St. Patrick's Day. Grab yourself a Guinness and say a proper Irish cheers!

Beast of the Big East

Yinzers,

The Big East Basketball tournament is by far the most exciting conference/tournament there is. Other than the Baylor Bears handing it to the Kansas gay hawks yesterday all the news was in the Big East.

Pitt choked it's chicken in the Back court brawl against West Virginia. My thought process is allot different this year, I do not think that the emphasis was on winning the Tournament but winning a National Championship. Think about it , it makes perfect sense. You would have to play, Uconn, Cuse',Louisville, etc etc etc- in a Four day romp. Leaving you exhausted to play one week later in the Tournament. The Pitt Panthers have enough time to rest and get over that Elite Eight Bump.

The Six Overtime Game UCONN and the Cuse' put on last night was unbelievable. Allot of players made shots that they had to. I think this ruined any chance of Syracuse winning the tournament because they will have to play at nine tonight and if you are a math major- 5 x6 overtimes meant that you played two and a half games last night just to win one game.

Finally the Villanova win yesterday was very apropo. Last second shot over Marquette was where it was at the whole game. Marquette just didn't have it in them .

Louisville cruised and they will be your Big east champ after this weekend. Look for them to roll.

Great weekend of Basketball ahead we will have a complete run down of Selection Sunday , Monday.

Erin GO BRAH,
