I think I really pleased the college basketball gods by taking my kid to the redneckiest beach, Carolina Beach, for a daytrip today. She frolicked in the cold ocean like it was a 95 degree July day while everyone else that got hit by tiny splash of water turned to ice. Thankfully, the wife will be taking the kid back to the beach on Sunday for another day in the Atlantic.
I'm feeling that 1974 wanted State to beat Marquette and 1983 wants them to beat Houston. Sorry Duke fans, but your team will not make it past tonight. Don't take it out on coach Scheyer, it's just what the college basketball gods have ordained in the brackets.
