Final Four is Set
By George Crocker
Tuesday, April 01, 2008
So how are your brackets going?
I’ve got three of my Final 4 still alive. I missed the Memphis win over Texas, but I did have UNC, Kansas and UCLA in the Final 4.
My initial predictions were for Kansas to beat UNC, and for UCLA to knock off Texas. Therefore, I’ll stick with UCLA and Kansas in the National Championship game. I’ve got the Bruins to win it all.
However, one could certainly argue that UNC and Memphis were the most impressive of the survivors from last weekend. The Tar Heels are really good, and even better when Tyler Hansbrough is knocking down that outside shot. Memphis looked like an NBA team in their dismantling of Texas. The Conference USA champs looked the part of a national champ in their regional finale.
It’s the first time that all four top seeds have ever made it to the Final 4. It should make for great drama on Saturday, with UCLA and Memphis tipping things off shortly after 6pm.
Credit Davidson with being the story of this year’s tournament. Stephen Curry was an absolute joy to watch, and the Wildcats almost turned into a modern day George Mason right before our eyes!
Enjoy the games…

In town for the night. Have been traveling with my job. Just watched your newscast. It does’nt matter where I am, what is the deal with weather??? I mean they tell you about it at the start of the braodcast, little ways in, middle, towards the end and a reacap at the end of the broadcast. They even tell you a 5 or 7 day forecast. OK, I get it. BUT, what about sports. I mean news is news, its usually not that good (the news itself). We can predict somewhat what the weather is going to be. We can not predict what is going to happen in a game or who will win. Then WHY? Do you only get SECONDS to report on sports - Have I been drinking adult beaverages too much or what? Does’nt it stand to reason sports would get just a little more time??? I mean come on. Ask Phillip if he could give up a few seconds for sports for the good of ALL.
PS. Tell Ryno the old coach said Hey! & get ready for the Pitt-Greenville Pop Warner Golf Classic. Talk with you soon.
Hope ALL is well.
Bob.
