Wishing you all in Milwaukee the best weekend...

In 2013, we made the trek up a torrential snowstorm to Kansas City to watch Ole Miss play Wisconsin in the opening round. Honestly one of my favorite memories as an Ole Miss fan. Like Milwaukee, Kansas City was full of big programs. Kansas State played in our session (obviously lost to LaSalle), and you had Kansas and North Carolina playing in the opening round that night. The Sprint Center (now the T-Mobile Center) was hopping.

My family and I took a weeklong spring break trip last week and just couldn't swing any more time off work, but I'm envious to you that are going. Will definitely be going to Atlanta next weekend if we made S16 or better. Make sure to enjoy the moment and try to watch other games, especially the other one in the session and show up early to cheer on Lipscomb.

The year we went, when we beat Wisconsin, all of the Ole Miss fans left afterward and skipped the LaSalle/K-State game. I get it, the bars outside downtown were awesome and we had Marshall jumping on tables celebrating. But, we literally had high row upper deck seats and were able to move down in the third row in the Ole Miss section.

Be loud and give UNC fans hell. I'm sure they'll turn out in full force. But Ole Miss fans get rowdy on postseason road games. Give Beard and his team a boost any way you can. They deserve it.

OT - Reacher Season Finale (Spoilers)

SPOILER ALERT - SPOILER ALERT

NOTE: If you haven't watched episode 8 of Reacher season 3, and you hate spoilers, stop now.


Okay, so I wanted to mention a couple of things. One, the big fight between "Giganto" and Reacher was (overall) pretty awesome. It went on a lot longer than I thought it would.

However, I had some nitpicks.

One, why would Giganto not just kill Reacher while he was unconscious? Seems like some serious plot armor there.

Two, I know Reacher is a bad ass and all but he got out of being hung by his neck with a thick chain fairly easily, IMO, all things considered.

Three, the ending was sort of ridiculous. There is no way in hell Reacher had the time to plug that gun barrel during the fight.

Other notes: They got even more sloppy in the finale, as Reacher was racking that shotgun multiple times in one sequence without firing but not ejecting any shells. Series is usually pretty good about ammo and realistic gun play as a rule.

I really thought the chubby DEA guy would buy it by the end. That he survived surprised me.

Thoughts?

Really need a NCAA Bball video game…

I’m having withdrawals. I tend to break down this time of the year and pull out my old PS3 and fire up NCAA10. That game is trash.

In December there was talk that EA and 2k were discussing doing it after NCAA football 25 because the second highest selling game of all time.

NCAA10, the recruiting component isn’t real enough. There’s only set guys interested in you. You can’t really go after a style of athlete like in football. And the game mechanics are weak. Not enough opportunity for creativity, diversity in play.
