Holy Flippin' Crap



They made it. They made it. They made it....

for the 1st time in 100 years. Perhaps after tonight, I'll be able to sleep again. The anticipation for tonight's match has been brewing since the tournament bracket was announced. By the way, meet Ceasar Perez. He resides in the fine city of Champaign, Illinois. Imagine that. Disowned by his family and friends and clinically insane, but you've got to love his spirit. He's got my vote for most devoted fan.

I must say that I watched a good portion of the MSU/North Carolina game on Saturday, and I wasn't all that impressed with the Tarheels. I felt more confident after watching their performance as they are one of the few teams I've not had the privilege to watch this season. Not saying that they're horrible and play a wretched game of basketball, but I do believe they can be beaten. In a mere 6 hours, we shall see.

And tomorrow....
it will all be over until next year. This 'dream team' has spoiled Illinois fans. Seasons like this just don't come around as often as we would like. Who knows when the next Final Four appearance will be? It took sixteen long years this time so breath it all in, folks. Enjoy it while it lasts. I know I've certainly enjoyed this spectacular season.
