SUNDAY SURVIVORS!

CINDERELLAS AND SURVIVORS!
>Who are these guys!!  Not One, but TWO Cinderellas make Sunday an historic day!
>In a normal year a Number 9 seed, like WICHITA STATE, would be considered a Cinderella, but they will be overlooked because of TWO other teams!  Crazy! 
>LA SALLE becomes the first team to win a play in game and advance to the Sweet Sixteen!  Wow!
>BUT, even they are overshadowed by FLORIDA GULF COAST who became the First 15 Seed to get to the Sweet Sixteen.  They are also the First University I have never heard of, to not only get to the Sixteen, but even to the tournament!  Where are these guys from? (see below)  How come the Talking heads on the networks didn't see them coming?  Craziness!  Parity down to the #15 seed?! Looks like things will be even tougher in the future for us predicting our brackets!

>MEANWHILE, the BIG BOYS won on Sunday and mostly survived as INDIANA and OHIO STATE  needed last minute and last second heroics to SURVIVE!  None of the other games was a blow out, although KANSAS, DUKE, MIAMI and FLORIDA had their struggles.  From here on in I think it will be a crap shoot as to who wins each game!  Parity?!

DAILY KUDOS
>Today's Kudos goes to everyone (except for 3 outliers)!  All of us had 6 out of 8 correct, except for 3 players (you know who you are) who failed to reach that standard.  Great job everyone!

NICKNAME DETERMINED
>PIERCE REISINGER is out on his trampoline whenever the weather allows!  So I think an appropriate Nickname is PRINCE "AIR" PIERCE REISINGER.  He may be too young to know about HIS AIRNESS (because of his jumping ability) MICHAEL JORDAN, but seems like this fits.  Hope it works for you! 

SWEET SIXTEEN DRAWING
>We have 11 players signed up for the Sweet Sixteen.  If anyone would like to join us please let me know by Tuesday.
>With 11 players the payout will be $55.
>If things stand the same, the following 11 "ballots" will be in the drawing?
1- LOUISVILLE (1)
2- KANSAS (1)
3- INDIANA (1)
4- DUKE (2)
5- MIAMI (2)
6- OHIO STATE (2)
7- MICHIGAN STATE (3), FLORIDA GULF COAST (15)
8- FLORIDA (3), LA SALLE (13)
9- MARQUETTE (3), WICHITA ST (9)
10- MICHIGAN (4), ARIZONA (6)
11- SYRACUSE (4), OREGON (5) 

SWEET SIXTEEN PARTY???
>Anybody out there willing to HOST a Sweet Sixteen Party on Friday Night?  The Swanson's have hosted this party the last couple of years.  It has been very informal and BYOB. Let me know if you are interested and I will send out E mails to everyone.
