March Madness Day 7 Recap

Another brief update, since it's getting kind of late.

Shoutouts:
To Manuel J, the only person to correctly pick both Louisville and Ohio State to make the Final Four. No one else got both of these teams.

To our current leaderboard: 1) Manuel J (--)
2) Barack Obama (-4 pts)
3) Linda Y (-5 pts)
4T) Corey H (-6 pts)
4T) James P (-6 pts)

To the 7 people who correctly put Louisville in the Final Four: Manuel J, Denise K (Hi Mom!), Leni P, Joanne T, Chuck B, Arthur S, and Quincy A.

To the 35 people who correctly put Ohio State in the Final Four. If you think I'm going to list every one of you (us, see what I did there?) out, you're crazy. But well done us!

To Miles, for sleeping in until 6:30 AM this morning. So much better than the 5 AM wake up calls we'd been getting during the week.

To Jason D, and Steve F, for a fun few hours in Boston today, even the part that was choosing tuxes. Bonus for getting me back to the train with about 90 seconds to spare.

To the bartender at the Irish pub we stopped in before I got on the train to come home, not only did he speak Irish, but he put a shamrock image in our stouts.

Condemnations:
To the couple 3 rows ahead of me on the commuter rail coming home, for taking the acceptable limits of PDA and jumping well over them.

To the US Soccer Olympic Qualifying team, for losing 2-0 to Canada in qualifying, putting their chances at reaching London 2012 in serious jeopardy. Enjoy Day 8!

  1. I actually was at the game this evening. Great game, they were in command in the first half, and then it all fell apart in the second. Hopefully they'll win against El Salvador on Monday night.
