NCAA Tournament Open Thread
Back in the day, I used to routinely take off work on the first Friday of the NCAA Tournament and head to a bar (Grevey's in Falls Church more than a few times) to watch hoops from noon to midnight. I miss those days. In memoriam, here's some Madness.

I used to take both days off would usually get together with some friends on this particular Friday. Those days are long gone, that said I don’t see me doing too much work today.
ReplyDeleteOBX Dave- did you happen to catch the clip from Martelli Jr’s presser where he gave a shout out to the VCU student reporters for making the trip for the game(s)? Pretty cool stuff.
ReplyDeleteI miss those Fridays...

ReplyDeletesay it ain't so
ReplyDeleteMark, I did not. Though I often watch games with sound down and rarely catch pressers unless somebody goes off script.
ReplyDeleteMartelli the Elder was a terrific coach and atypical hoops lifer: erudite, well-read, conversant in lotsa areas. If Junior inherited even part of that, he'll do well.
Meanwhile, very much enjoy watching Avila. He's gonna make a bunch of money and become a cult hero in Germany or Hungary.
