And… my brackets are done!
- My national championship game has been eliminated. Couldn't be happier about it. Seeing Villanova lose today to St. Mary's after getting an incredibly lucky win over Robert Morris on Thursday was a great thing, but nothing will top Northern Iowa beating Kansas today.
Kansas was the unanimous #1 team in the country in the last rankings, had the #1 overall seed in the brackets... and falls in the 2nd round. That is absolutely awesome.
So, my brackets are done as I only have Kansas State and Wisconsin left in my final four... and if you listen to the pundits, the Badgers should fall to Cornell tomorrow. I'm not sure that I believe that, but the way things are going for me... it definitely could happen.
Add that to Washington crushing New Mexico and you have another great day in the tournament.
- Speaking of Wisconsin, they won the 3rd place game in the WCHA playoffs today. That should pretty much wrap up a #1 seed in the NCAA tournament, but all of that should be finalized tomorrow.
- I started playing God of War 3 last night and I have to say that the game is epic in scale. The first battle against Poseidon is stunning. The game's graphics are amazing and there are almost no loading times. It's an amazing game thus far.

I watched my son play this game and the button mashing element of it just turns me off. I’ve never played it mind you, but it just doesn’t appeal to me for some reason.
