You looking for more stats? I'm not your best source for that information, but Cracked Sidewalks will hook you up. And Mr. Pom is around if you need more. - You looking for whimsy? Where have you been all week? I've been slinging out whimsy as fast as I can get it on the plate. So go here. Or here. Or here. Or here. Or here.
BEER OF THE GAME:
This being the Championship of College Basketball in Wisconsin, is there really any other choice than the Champagne of Beers, Miller High Life? I think not.
What, you expected some high-falutin' microbrew, since I went to Marquette and I'm a snob? No ma'am (or sir). I'm all about breaking down stereotypes.
Enjoy the game, and bring me a home a winner -- or I have to make this my background for the next month.
Please, baby Jesus, bring me home a winner.
