GEAUX TIGERS!!!

My brother-in-law pointed out that I have been remiss in posting about the incredible run of the LSU Tigers basketball team in the men's NCAA tournament. So Kyle, here it is. I'm sitting here right now getting ready to watch the Tigers take on UCLA for a chance to play Florida for the championship. And our women's team gets a chance to knock of Duke just like the men did. It's always a good thing when Duke loses but it's even sweeter when the Tigers knock them out in the tournament. Geaux Tigers!

Update:
Well the game just ended and the Tigers were on the short end of the final score. It was still an incredible season. This was a team that wasn't supposed to do much. We were picked to finish third in the SEC West and ended up as one of the final 4 teams standing in the Big Dance. Way to Geaux Tigers!

I feel like I need to say something about the commentators for the game. With 15 minutes left in the game and UCLA up by 21 points the commentators basically called the game and said it was over. I've played and watched enough basketball in my life to know that you cannot call a game at that point no matter how badly the losing team is playing. I've actually seen a high-scholl team that was down by 21 with 3:00 left hit 6 three-pointers, a two-pointer and a free-throw and end up winning the game in overtime. Through the last 15 minutes of this game the commentators continually talked of how dominant UCLA was in the game and at one point said that this performance by UCLA was the best they had seen in the tournament so far. They must have been watching a different game than I was. UCLA only scored 9 points over the final 15 minutes. How is that dominant? If LSU could have hit a few more shots down the stretch it would have been a totally different game. I just wish these guys could drop their bias for the big name schools like Duke and UCLA in basketball and USC in football and call the games like they actually happen.
