And a great quarter bracket to start the soiree! I largely disregard results from the early season match w/ KS and would've chosen the Jayhawks in my bracket for advancement to the S16 before the Irish's run through the ACC tourney. From a slightly elevated vantage about 2+ hours due east, this has been a magical season - and not just for sheer statistical accomplishment, but simple appreciation for individual character and selfless collective effort, as well as Cal's endearing paternalism regardless of questions raised at past programs. The River City - and the YUM! Center in particular - will be a tempest of Kentucky Blue this week! WOOT!/peace, K


P.S.: Now if we could just get a 50th anniversary box set announcement from Rhino and GDP, the week would indeed be perfect!

Though most certainly not a KY resident and only age 7 in '92, I still recall bits of that season watching from Mass. with my parents (neither with any KY ties, but simply smart sports fans) telling me what a remarkable thing Rick had achieved with that special group of boys so soon after NCAA sanctions. I cried myself to sleep that fateful night against Duke; but, having just watched "I Hate Laettner" on ESPN, I can honestly say, 'all is forgiven'. We lose as a species - not to mention individuals - when, in any context, we assess others not on merit or empathy for their trials, but sweeping judgments that accommodate our own narrow perception of the world. Honestly, I feel like a weight's been lifted....kudos to ESPN for yet another phenomenal installment in this uniformly brilliant series AND let's get the 2015 NCAA party started!/peace, K
