CONGRATS-and WHY

Congrats are due for Coach K (Mike Krzyzewski- pronounced Cha-Chef-ski)and his Duke University Blue Devils. The three time Coach of the Year could arguably be considered the BEST EVER. I could argue that point, but maybe another day. Duke's landslide win over Butler was exactly what everyone expected it to be- NOT.
Duke was the favorite for sure to win the NCAA Tournament final held Monday in Indianapolis, 8 miles from Butler University's home gym. One online poll saw Duke favored 66% out of the nearly 300 that voted. The spread of the game was Duke by 6.5. Why were so many people amazed at what Butler had accomplished, and why were they so amazed at the fact they were even in the game? Going into the game they had the longest active streak in NCAA Men's Basketball. They had not lost since December 22nd- for those that don't know that's before CHRISTMAS. Think back how long ago Christmas felt!
Was I, and the community of Butler, the only one that was not sleeping on Butler. I just want to say that I wish they had gotten more praise, and people would respect what they have done. At the same time...

CONGRATULATIONS DUKE. You really do deserve it. Of the 347 teams in Division I basketball-they WON. Of the 64 teams in the March Madness Tournament-they WON. So again Congratulations to DUKE. And to BUTLER as well, because of the 347 teams in Division I and the field of 64 in the tournament...at the end they were still there.
(please notice I said they won, and not that they are the best)

This year's tournament was a very good one, full of surprises, and for those who missed the one shining moment montage at the end. Like years and years before the video was shown after the game recapping the entire tournament. The video itself was done very well, but came with a surprise. CBS replaced Luther Vandross with Jennifer Hudson. Not to take anything away from her, though she took a lot away from the moment and tradition, why mess with something that doesn't need to be messed with. I am sure like many other, are pissed off! Thanks CBS, see you next March.
