NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament 2019: Regional Quarterfinals- Day 2
Time to let my freak flag fly! Ok, so no bag pipes. What I learned from watching last night is that Louisville may or may not be good enough to stop UConn short of the Semifinals. Huskies had Foul trouble and despite that were not outstanding on Defense though the key to the game was …

Not Your Grandfather’s Economy
Cheap Electrical Power is something we take for granted that, were it otherwise, would drive business and consumer economic incentives in entirely different directions. A major argument from pro-Carbon Dinosaurs (in addition to complete denial about Global Warming and misrepresentation about reliability) is that it’s cheaper. Not so much anymore. It’s cheaper to replace most …

End Of The Beginning
I suspect many of you are just as frustrated and furious about recent developments as I am. I’m grateful that between Curling and Basketball and American Gods I’ve had enough distraction that I have not yet damaged equipment I can ill afford to replace or gotten arrested (I’m always depressed, anxious, and angry, that’s my …

NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament 2019: Regional Quarterfinals- Day 2, Evening
Once again the division is arbitrary, I’ll drop it in the Regional Semis and Finals next week. As I say every year to TMC who rolls her eyes in that “You know you’re barking mad” way, only the first week is an insane crush of work. After that it gets much easier. Oh, and in …

NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament 2019: Regional Quarterfinals, Day 1- Evening
Oh, you thought I was being obnoxious? You don’t know how obnoxious I can be. Next time with bag pipes. This will be a very instructive night. You’ll be able to directly compare Mississippi State to UConn on ESPN. They are a powerful program, worthy of respect. Since they don’t play UConn head to head …

NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament 2019: Regional Quarterfinals- Day 2, Afternoon
Same Format as yesterday with New and Improved Results from the second day of the Round of 64. Actually there were a fair number of upsets with Iowa, Oklahoma, UC Irvine, Oregon, Washington, Liberty, and Ohio St. advancing to the Regional Quarterfinals. That’s 7 of 16 or 44% (well, 43.75%) which is pretty remarkable. Though …

NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament 2019: Regional Quarterfinals Day 1,- Afternoon
Letting my freak Flag fly. Ok, arguably Baylor had a better day than UConn because margin. They also had a weaker seed being #1 and all, I don’t begrudge them. Not so many upsets, there rarely are in the Women’s Tournament during the Round of 64 since there is such a difference between the Premier …
