Phew!

When I went to bed Notre Dame was ahead of Tennessee, and moving on to play for the Final Four was looking anything but inevitable for the Lady Vols.  Candace Parker’s 34 points, however, helped bring Tennessee back from a halftime deficit to a 74-64 win over the Irish.  (Did I already say Phew?)  With Rutgers, […]

All the #1’s Are In!

All of the #1 seeds in the men’s tourney are in the final four for the first time ever!  The route was heartbreaking for Davidson … and their fans here in Canterbury.  What a game!  Now we’re watching a close Duke-Texas A&M game.  Here are the standings on the men’s side as of tonight.  Stay […]

No Surprises, But …

As I settle down to write, I am just now interrupted by the sight of three deer running FAST down our hill, along the edge or the field.  I wondered why they were moving like that … and my question was quickly answered when a very, very big coydog went racing down the hill after them.  The […]

Soccer Interlude

Here’s a nice article about USWNT coach Pia Sundhage from the NY Times and another from ESPN Soccernet.  The USWNT hits the field again for CONCACAF qualifying against Jamaica on April 4 and Mexico on April 6.  (Both games are in Mexico … and neither is being televised, as far as I know.)

Nova Not Super

Ah, too bad.  Kansas looked like a strong prairie storm flattening a field of corn, as the Jayhawks cut down 12th seed Villanova last night.  (Okay, that was over the top … Hemingway I’m not!)  The miracle upset that JordanCornblog expected Augustinian-founded Villanova to deliver was on the other side of the bracket, where those upstart Presbyterians from Davidson overturned […]
