Getting the Basketball Fever...
I jump started "March Madness" over the weekend by checking out some of the action at the OSAA Championships. On Friday I went up to Corvallis to take in the 3A Semis, and spent the second half of the last game sitting next to Smitty and Jude down on press row.
On Saturday I woke up in time for the Pac-10 Tourney final, and then watched the 4A Boys Final. That Kevin Love kid from Lake O could start on a Pac-10 team right now, and he is only a sophomore! Heck, I bet the Ducks make the Big Dance if he was on their team this season.
I'm running an "Office Pool" over at the YMCA. It's not your usual, pick all the games bracket game. In this one you pick nine teams, and then you get points each time they win based on their seed. So if you pick an eight seed, you get eight points each time they win vs. just one point each time a number one seed advances. Should be fun.
