Happy Final Four Weekend! If you’re like me, you probably burned your bracket weeks ago, but I’ll still tune into the games anyway. Personally, I’m pulling for Butler. I love a good comeback kid story. And it doesn’t hurt that they have one of the cutest mascots around! Watch this around the 50 second mark!
And I think they’re head coach is cute. I guess I have a thing for baby-faced boys

No, BYU didn’t make it to the Final 4, but there’s no harm in posting the cutest player in the NCAA Tourney anyway!

Since it’s March Madness I thought I’d take time out during photo fav Fridays to showcase the ENORMOUS heads fans like to hold up during games. I love these things, especially when they’re random celebrities. Here are a few of my fav’s in action:

So the World Cup is going on in case you hadn’t noticed. We don’t exactly follow soccer, nor do we find games that end in a score of 0-0 exhilarating, but we do like hot athletic menfolk. And we do like watching them while throwing back a few beers amongst other menfolk, and womenfolk. Okay enough with the folk. I mean what the folk? Sorry.
Anyway! What I was trying to say was, no we don’t really watch soccer but the World Cup can be a fun excuse to get together and have some fun, and for you single ladies to meet some dudes. And don’t worry if you happen to be clueless about soccer, if know college basketball you may find this article really helpful. A friend of my husband’s wrote it and it compares college basketball to World Cup. It’s pretty clever and helpful and a great way to impress that hottie manfolk over in the corner

Sorry to all of you that I may offend with this video, but this was too funny to pass up. Especially with a husband who’s a die hard fan and a Carolina Alum. This may sting a little. Here’s to yet another night of Jeff throwing his shoe at our TV and coming up with even more imaginative excuses as to why his team sucks so bad. Yep, you guessed right. The Heels take on the Wolfpack tonight at 9:00pm. It’s guaranteed to be one for the ages. A battle between a team who brings more irony than I ever thought possible to Bruce Springsteen’s greatest hit Glory Days and a team that garners publicity only because their coach wears a hideous red jacket. Be sure to tune into your computer screens because this game is so important that it’s only being brought to you live via ESPN 360. Ouch.
I dedicate this to you, Randy.

So we went out last night for a late-night snack at this college joint in downtown Lexington. We sit at a table that happens to be right beside a crew of several very tall young men. My husband, a big UK basketball fan, leans over to me and says “That’s P-Pat.” And of course I say, “A P-what?” He explains to me that P-Pat (Patrick Patterson) is a really good basketball player who plays for UK. Then he somehow convinces me to get my picture taken with him. This is where things get a little fuzzy for me. I mean it was pretty late and I may have partaken in a few alcoholic beverages earlier. So lil ole me goes over to him and says “P-Pat, can I get a picture with you?” And this is how it turned out. Randy is sitting down at the table looking up at us – hence my triple chin. But check out the ridiculously excited expression on my face:
Oh but it’s not over yet. My husband then tells me, “Hey that’s Wall over there.” He gestures across the room pointing at a crowd. “See if you can get a picture with him too.” So of course once again I’m like “Wall??” But this time I don’t even bother asking for an explanation. Instead, since I’m now best buds with P-Pat I tap him on his ginormous arm and go “Hey, I’m supposed to get a picture with Wall too. Do you know which one is Wall?” He describes a guy sitting at a table with a star on his hat. I tell P-Pat that he has to come over with me to ask him. We’re buddies remember? Or I liked to think so at that moment. Instead with one gesture he motions for Wall to come over. Not sure who the third guy in the middle is. But we’re pretty sure he’s a basketball player too, since he’s giant. Here’s the pic, again with me looking like it’s Christmas morning and Santa is 3 giant black guys.
P-Pat, ? , Me, Wall
Later I found out Wall’s full name. It’s John Wall and he was this past year’s number one college basketball recruit in the country. He’s kind of a big deal yo.
My pal P-Pat
John "I'm kind of a big deal" Wall
K: Yea, Wall is kinda of a HUGE deal. He took forever to commit to a school. Memphis?……Duke?……Kentucky? I saw him on Duke’s campus when he was there to talk to Coach K, people went nuts.
