You’ll notice I didn’t list any picks for today’s games. That’s because the bracket I filled out is TOTALLY busted. I’m in 9th place out of 35 with 50 total points and a possible max of 50. There’s no remaining game that can move me higher in the standings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Despite that, GO ‘CANES!!! As in, the Hurricanes of Miami.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why, you ask? Never once in my life have I rooted for that team. A picture is worth 1000 words:<\/p>\n\n\n

<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nAs I mentioned, I have 50 points but no live teams – no opportunity to increase my point total. Butt Slut #1 has 48 points but still has a live team – Texas, who she has going to the championship game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If Texas wins today, her bracket beats mine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If Miami wins today, my bracket beats hers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I don’t ask my readers for much, but today I will: Please send positive “win-today” vibes to the Miami basketball players and coaching staff. Together we can take Butt Slut #1 down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Weather<\/a> today: Almost no chance of rain. 76\/50. Note that the wind is going to shift around to the north at 13 mph tonight, so take a jacket if you plan on walking home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Grizzlies travel to Atlanta to play at 5 today. The game is on NBA TV but I believe it’ll also be on Bally Sports with your friends Brevin, Pete, and Fish. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Today is National Make Up Your Own Holiday Day<\/a>. Can I make up “$1 PBR Day”?<\/p>\n\n\n\n The line to get daiquiris at Fat Tuesday must have been 20 deep when I walked home yesterday. And that was still early in the evening, probably about 6:00. Whoever is their marketing director is doing a hell of a job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Former Grizzly Zach Randolph will be inducted<\/a> into the Tennessee Sports Hall of Fame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There will be free photos with the Easter Bunny<\/a> Saturday at Bass Pro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Weekly event Live at the Tracks<\/a> returns to Central Station this Thursday from 6:30 to 9:30 PM. Shara Layne will perform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Kansas City band The Country Duo<\/a> plays South Main Sounds for Trolley Night this Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There will be an Easter egg hunt<\/a> for kids at the Fire Museum on Adams Saturday from 10 AM to 1 PM. Firefighters will hide 500 candy-filled (chocolate and jelly beans) eggs around the museum. Find an egg of each color and turn them in to the Easter Bunny for a chance to win the Grand Surprise Prize. Tickets are $10 regardless of age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n That’s all for today. Go ‘Canes!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Last night I got home to bed early because I wasn’t feeling that great. But I got woken up four times by revving engines and squealing tires. Especially from 10:30 to midnight, the noise was nearly constant.
