As I write I am watching the Kentucky Wildcats play Cincinnati in the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament Round of 32. Kentucky has played poorly in the first half and the Bearcats have busted their butts but Kentucky still leads by seven at the half.
The Wildcats are 35-0 entering this game and should end up 40-0 when they are crowned NCAA National Champions on April 6th. With five first round NBA draft picks starting and the next five kids off the bench good enough to have their own team ranked in the Top 20 no one will beat them.

Happy Ides of March
It's been about four weeks since I last wrote and it has been a relatively uneventful period. Maybe the biggest thing to happen is Mizzou Basketball ended its season at 9-22 and Spring Football Practice has begun. Mizzou's first home game is only five and a half months away.
Other random thoughts on this Sunday morning...
-"The Americans" may be the best show on television right now. It is a spy drama set in the early 80s focusing on two Russian spies embedded in Washington D.C. and their neighbor who works in counter espionage for the FBI. If you haven't seen it yet check it out on FX on Wednesday nights at nine.
-Good riddance to "Two and a half Men". It had its series finale several weeks ago and for the most part it was unremarkable. Jon Cryer is a very good actor and his portrayal of Alan Harper was very good. The rest of the show turned to mediocrity after the departure of Charlie Sheen. I thought it vindictive of the writers to kill off his character in the finale.
-And finally, the worst commercials on TV are still those for Sonic Hamburgers. The two gay guys in the commercial make me turn the channel whenever I see one of the ads.
That's it. Happy Ides of March to you. And a Happy St. Patrick's Day to my Irish friends as well.
