My Final Four

Duke, UCLA, UConn, and the Boston College Golden Eagles. UCLA defeats Duke in one national semi, BC over the Huskies in the other. BC beats UCLA in the finals. More heart than head? Of course. But what fun is it to be right and pick UConn? Or, to use the phrase that seems to have emerged this year without me getting the memo, why "go chalk"?

Starting in twenty minutes, I will be playing hookie. These may be the two best sports days of the year.
