    Man. I seem to be flipping all over the place. My controller is going to bust up.

    I'm more like 50/50. There were some good first round matchups yesterday. That Notre Dame finish was great! I'm just hoping Duke and Kansas play in the sweet 16.

    Last night I watched a little war coverage, a little tournament, but I mostly watched ESPN Classic. They were showing a regular season game between Duke and Syracuse from 1989. It featured Derrick Coleman, Billy Owens, Christian Lattener, and Bobby Hurley. The reason I was watching is because the NCAA is so boring to me because I don't know any of the players because they all go to the NBA early. I found the ESPN Classic game a lot more interesting. The only teams I am going to watch during the first round are big 12 teams and maybe a couple of other top ranked teams. Other than that, I have no interest in Arizona State vs. Memphis.

    I listen to radio news in the morning, watch Jim Lehrer at 5:30 and that's it. It's difficult right now to find anything on the television that isn't war related -- I usually just turn the damn thing off. On the plus side, I have gotten a lot done around the house. :)

    I'm actually watching more war coverage. I have yet to see a first-round game in its entirety, the first time that's happened since I started having memories at an early age.

    The UT game will be the first one I watch from start to finish. I woke up early to get my running done just so I wouldn't miss a thing.

    My heart just isn't into the games this year, which really pisses me off since I LOVE MARCH MADNESS!

    By the way, any of you "ain't got nuttin' to do on a Friday" Houstonians watching the UT game anywhere special in town? I wouldn't mind getting out of this house!

    I got class at 11 AM so I'm trying to decide whether to attend or watch the Texas game. Even if I skip to watch the Texas game, I have a class at 1 PM so I'll miss the conclusion. It's days like these I wish I had DVR. I found a coupon in the Texan for a free month but I'm too lazy to drive to the TW lobby to exchange my converter.

    Get up off your lazy ass dude! Getting a DVR from TW was the absolute best thing that happened to me last year. Now that I have Dish Network instead of cable, I miss it dearly. I have no way of recording programs I know I will miss.

    Once you get it, it becomes just as necessary as shaving and brushing your teeth. God I miss that damn contraption! :(

    I can't imagine how my life would change. I am not worthy :D I could actually take advantage of the final month of League Pass.

    I can't get into the games at all. They're pretty trivial right now.

    As we get closer to Baghdad, I'm watching more war.
    As we get closer to the Final Four I'll watch more B-ball.
