guess whos going to the big dance baby....















thats right...long beach won the big west championship on saturday 94-83. this will be our first time back to the tourney since 1995. if i did my math correctly, thats a 12 year drought. i didn't know we sucked for so long...

anyway, it was a great game! im so glad i was able to witness it in person. oh wait....i didnt go. instead, i went to this indian restaurant with jen called akbars for dinner (maybe they should change it to y-akbar). i guess ill just have to wait another 12 years to experience another long beach championship.

in case anyone cares, long beach will be playing friday at 2:45 against the tennessee lady vols. if you're going to bet, here is my analysis for the game:

1. take the over. this game will be very high scoring. both teams are small and all they do is run and shoot threes. the biggest guy on either team is 6'10".

2. i dont know if the line is out yet, but im thinking the lady vols will be giving long beach +4.5 (just checked....long beach is getting +7). wow...i wouldnt touch that. but if i were to bet and it was an unbiased pick, i would take the lady vols. unfortunately, im a homer, so take long beach!

3. long beach is a #12 seed. #12 seeds have a long history of pulling off upsets in the tourney. hopefully, long beach can continue this trend.

4. oh...whatever you do, take the opposite of what i suggested. if you know me, im not the greatest at sports betting. but since im not betting on this, im sure it will go over and long beach will cover.

maybe i should put 5 bucks on the lady vols. that way im pretty much guaranteeed a long beach victory. im going to need approval from jen, but im sure she'll understand....

im so excited! lets go get 'em bitch! sorry....beach!

Congrats to Long Beach for making the tournament! Your school is doing better than mine... Michigan hasn't been to the tournament since 1998. But since the period between 1995 and 1999 were wiped out due to NCAA sanctions, Michigan hasn't legitimately been to any NCAA Tournament in the amount of time Long Beach has been to two.

If you know anything about star wars, the term Akbar usually means a trap (Think Return of the Jedi, the fish guy's name is Ackbar, and his famous line is: "Its a trap!")

Thanks for your analysis, I really really really hope that you do make that $5 dollar bet...for your team of course.

Can you break down the UCR vs. ASU matchup...........in the women's bracket?

Excuse me sir, I just have one question. What kind of loser goes to a fancy NY steak restaurant by themselves and asks the waiter to take a picture of them and their piece of meat?

Thank you very much.
