How far do you have Iowa State going?
What about all other Big 12 teams?
Any big upsets?

While I think Wisconsin/Arkansas/Nebraska/Vandy/Texas Tech/Alabama all could get upset...I can't get myself to actually pick them to lose. I do think Nebraska and Tech are the most likely to get upset of those though. So my biggest upsets are only 11/6 with South Florida over Louisville and VCU over UNC.

Big 12:

TCU loses to Duke in OT in round of 32
Kansas loses to Duke in S16
UCF loses to UCONN in round of 32
Houston loses to Florida in Elita 8
BYU loses to Purdue in Sweet 16
Texas Tech loses to Arkansas in round of 32
Arizona wins natty (but I was so close to picking them to lose to Arkansas)
Iowa State loses to AZ in FF (brutal i know)

Final Four:

Duke
Florida
Arizona
Iowa State

Whoa, I assume most thought there would never be a break-through in this case.

Many “experts” have ISU as being a Final Four team, beating all other teams in the MidWest Regional. Is that going to be a jinx, I know they are good enough, but I remember the screw job against MSU and Big George’s injury. Hey CW, you need to merch ISU nut cups!

Syracuse took a big blow losing their starting point guard for the season last week. How will her replacements step up? Will ISU be able to handle the size and rebounding of Syracuse? Here's a look.

TSS – Looking at Syracuse

Syracuse is 23-8 overall and went 12-6 in conference play. They had common opponents with the Sisters in Utah and Mercyhurst. Both beat the Utes, but the Orange got them close to home. The Mercyhur…

Before Tamin Lipsey was a Cyclone legend, his wife Samantha knew she wanted to change her last name to Lipsey.

Now, both of those dreams have come true.

Tom Clary passed away this morning. He was the man who hosted the wrestling party before the golf tournament every year in Okoboji at his man-cave. He had the type of event @stuclone loved; plenty of food, plenty of drink and free.

Please keep Tom and his family in your thoughts and prayers.

Go in peace my dear friend.

Every year, it seems, one or more of the people mentioned in the in-memoriam segment of the Oscars catches me by surprise. This year, it was Val Kilmer, who I had no idea had died. All in all, it was a bad year for iconic actors as we lost Robert Duvall, Robert Redford, Diane Keaton, Kilmer, Claudia Cardinale, Michael Madsen, Catherine O'Hara and Bridget Bardot, not to mention one of the greatest film directors of all time in Rob Reiner.

Like the saying goes, “everything happens in threes.” Kinda like Momcilovic hitting three straight threes against Arizona to close out the first half last Friday.

1. Neighbor to the north of us passes out at the gym in the sauna, Ambulance ride to the hospital and two days later, gets a pacemaker.

2.Last Wednesday neighbor to the south of us gets taken out of his house on a gurney and the ambulance ride with RSV and a serious bladder infection.

3.Friday, neighbor across the street was at some event and he loses consciousness and no heartbeat. He was in VTach for 3 minutes until a nurse that was at the event did CPR on him and had to use a defibrillator on him. Thankfully he is doing fine!

I was afraid to leave the house this weekend! Then I remembered that was the third one.
