Dom's Dish - NCAA Bracket nearly busted Edition

So, after a long few weeks of watching college basketball (Mens' tournament), I was right about 2 things: Villanova will make the Final Four; Two Big East schools will be in the Final Four.  It will be a tough road for both Villanova (playing a team on fire, North Carolina) and UConn (playing a hot Michigan State team 75 miles from East Lansing).  I was also right about a #2, a #3 and two #1 seeds there in Detroit, Memphis and Louisville blew it for me.  Ah well, there's always next year.  In the meantime, it's been a fun journey watching all the games, especially Nova's miracle finish the other night.  Let's hope the last 3 games stay interesting and Nova comes out on top - after all, Jay Wright deserves it.  How can you not love the guy?

Heeeeeeeeee's back!  Tiger did it.  I think that was the moment that my son actually crapped himself when I yelled "YES" and pumped my fist when Tiger hit the birdie putt on 18 this afternoon at about 7:50pm - I know because the sun set in Orlando at 7:43pm.  After staying close all day, the pressure of the Tiger on the prowl got to "the field" and Tiger pulled into the lead on the 72nd hole at Arnie's tournament.  This sets the stage quite nicely for 2 weeks from now in Augusta.  You know Tiger's taking a few days off to be home with the family, count some more money, then gonna go back out and work his butt off for about 8 days before the start of the Masters.  And on Easter weekend, of all times.  Amen corner indeed.
