I have to admit I did attempt to find Canada on my NCAA Bracket but instead I showed my allegience to West Coast Basketball teams and it paid off big time! The Huskies now face New Mexico saturday and they have an excellent chance to advance to the Sweet Sixteen. The Gaels knock off Richmond and will now face Villanova. St.Mary's is playing great basketball right now so it could be a great saturday for the "locals".

Update on Vegan Cheater Shauna. She did a great job today photographing our Jr.Winterhawk Player of the Month...Morgan McKinney. I thought I spotted a half and half  creamer packet in her trash can!! Come clean Shauna!!

YES I LOVE TO GIVE SHAUNA A BAD TIME....SHE IS THE TALENTED AND ADEPT PROMO DIRECTOR...WHO DOESN'T CARE A LICK ABOUT SPORTS.  I ASKED HER WHO WOULD WIN THE NCAA HOOP TOURNEY...AND SHE SAID....CANADA!  I CHUCKLED AND THEN GAVE HER THE BRACKET.  AFTER DOING HER RESEARCH.... WE BOTH AGREE THAT KANSAS WILL WIN  IT ALL... WAY TO GO SHAUNA.

I AM PICKING WASHINGTON AN 11-SEED TO TAKE DOWN MARQUETTE TODAY......WE'LL SEE IF I HAVE EGG ON MY FACE TOMORROW.

Well, I lied. Shauna is a good Vegan...and our Promo Director. She said....come up with a headline that turns heads...and so I thought mine was pretty good. Big Week for college hoop fans....time to fill out your bracket. I have my first one in front of me. I am going to pick two of the three northwest teams to win. Washington will shock Marquette. Gonzaga will take care of Florida State and prove those east-coach bias NCAA folk that there is quality basketball out here in the sticks.

I will give you all of my winners and losers on Wednesday!!!

 SHAUNA THE VEGAN CHEATER BUGGED ME YESTERDAY ABOUT UPDATING MY BLOG. SHE DOESN'T REALIZE MY COMPUTER AT HOME IS ON THE FRITZ AND I REALLY WANT A LAPTOP BUT ERIQ PETERSON THE INSIDE SPORTS PRODUCER IS HOGGING THE COMMUNITY LAPTOP.....SO I NOW HAVE FOUND THE TIME TO UPDATE.....AND HERE WE GO:

I WAS IN PULLMAN SUNDAY AND WATCHED THE END OF A LONG DROUGHT BY THE OREGON STATE WOMEN'S HOOP TEAM. AN IMPRESSIVE VICTORY ON COUGAR SENIOR DAY. 50-45 THE FINAL AND HATS OFF TO JULIE FUTCH. THE SENIOR FROM AUBURN-RIVERSIDE HIGH WAS THE DIFFERENCE. SHE SHOWED THAT SENIOR LEADERSHIP AND WOUND UP WITH 13 POINTS AND SEVEN BOARDS DISPITE SPRAINING HER FOOT.

NOW ITS PAC-10 TOURNEY TIME.THE BEAVERS WILL FACE THE HUSKIES...BOTH MEN AND WOMEN....THE MEN WILL BE ON KPAM 860 THURSDAY NIGHT AT 5:30. MIKE PARKER WILL BE COURTSIDE AT THE STAPLES CENTER FOR ALL OF THE ACTION. I WILL BE IN THE GALEN CENTER TO CALL THE WOMEN'S GAME AT 8:15. WE ARE TRYING TO GET APPROVAL TO GET THE GAME ON SUNNY 1550 KKAD...BUT STILL HAVEN'T HEARD BACK FROM TONY BENNETT AND ROSEMARY CLOONEY TO SEE IF THEY WILL REST THEIR VOICES FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS THURSDAY NIGHT.
