Gus Johnson For President...

1:20p - Gus Johnson has lost weight since last year. He chiseled. "He's the Ed Hoculey of college basketball." - Logan

1:26p - Trashing of the Big 10 continues. "Big Ten basketball is MY basketball."

1:28p - "My second guesses are just as bad as my first ones. Which is ironic because there's only two teams." - Brendan

1:35p - Xavier is looking like a serious threat to Ohio St. and Brendan is starting to lament his decision to admonish his girlfriend against picking Xavier to advance past the first round.

2:10p – Gus Johnson proclaims the Ohio St./Xavier game as "The battle for Ohio!" He’s on fire, probably due to a realization that today is his last day of the season since he got the shaft for the next round.

2:13p - "What a stupid cheer. Z no X...." - Godfrey

2:40p - Inspire by the Ohio St. /Xavier game, we spent 30 minutes looking for Gus Johnson clips on the internet.

2:50p - As he heads for the bathroom LD says, "There is no way any of this is gonna be solid."

3:33p - Quinlan McNerney arrives. The first 'next generation' member of March Madness.

4:26p - Butler knocks out Maryland and Godfrey realizes, “Butler and Xavier are those teams you never really think about too much until tourney time and even when you do think about them, you really don’t take them seriously. But you should.”

4:45p - Mews: "There is no announcer who loves college basketball more than Gus Johnson." Brendan: "If he weren't an announcer, he'd be here."

5:00p - Gus Johnson has one of the best moments of this whole weekend: "As my collegue Clark Kellogg would say, 'He's Roberta Flacking ‘em. Killing them... Oh... So... Softly!'"

5:20p – “He babied that one.” Rafferty gently criticizes a free throw.

5:27p - Texas A&M escapes a loss to Louisville and in the course of the game all of the coloring Pitino used to cover his gray has faded.

6:01p - "Washington State is the new Gonzaga. A bunch of dirty West Coast hippies that I don't like, don't want to win but always do, and I don't like their uniforms." - Brendan

6:20p - Suddenly the Vanderbilt/Washington St. Games and the BC/Georgetown games become exciting. The crowd comes alive at the Upper Deck for the second time today, two more times than we were in the last two days.

6:43p - VCU/Pitt: Still pumped from cheering them on over Duke, the crowd wants to see them continue their progress and slaughter Pittsburgh. Myself and one other person are the only two rooting for Pitt but it’s for selfish bracket purposes only.

7:10p – Vanderbilt and Washington St are in double overtime. It’s the damn hippies verses Skuchas and Skuchas is mopping the floor with them. “It’s because these damn hippies don’t build their stamina on the commune!” - Unknown

7:13p – The hippies of Washington St. are sent back home to their commune to recycle their crap. By the way, could any more game deciding free throws be missed?

7:50p – North Carolina/Michigan St & UCLA/Indiana – Watching the Big Ten is like watching the WNBA.

8:20p - With the number of people and the level of energy, you'd think this was Sunday evening. And with that, the night drifts off into mediocre silence.
