No one wants to beat Cinderella. I'd rather hug her. If Davidson wasn't playing Kansas, I would have rooted for them hard. What's not to like? Classy team, classy coach, amazing player.
But these are my Hawks.
Sorry, Cinderella.
I haven't been that nervous since Kansas beat Arizona to go to the Final Four five years ago. A loss to Davidson would have been devastating, and that's exactly how we played, a team hoping not to lose. There's something to be said for just hoping to last through a tournament or taking it by the horns and destroying it. Maybe there's a poker lesson there somewhere.
When the final shot fell short of the basket, I screamed, startling my co-workers at the paper, and ran up and down the hallway. Then I almost bawled. I'm sure I lost a year off my life.
We're in the Final Four. Later this week I'll talk about my desire to crush North Carolina. But right now I'm drained.
Totally, totally drained.

I thought about you as I saw the highlights on ESPN at midnight... and 3 am... and 6 am... =) I'm glad they won, & hoping for your sake that the next game is a little easier on the heart! =)
I come to your site today looking for your take on Roy Williams coaching against kansas in Final 4.
Where is it?
