CRAZY HORSE

Big BIG Dance ...hey now...we all knew there was balance in this year's D-1 hoops...the games show us just that...nothing more exciting than a 1/2 court shot to win the game ...and here we go...in it's finality...you are one and done...or you move on.... picking the 32 games can be fun and daunting ...no more so that if you are a participant in the real thing... One of the favs, throughout the land...is, er, was Michigan St ...with t he unproclaimed top coach in Tom Izzo...and the best player in the land, D Valentine ...in as a number 2 seed and playing a patsy in Middle Tennessee St , a no. 15... more famous for some alums that are country hit singers...like Lady A's Hillary Scott ...I digress...whoa, MTS jumped out to a 15-2 lead...or so...weathered the Spartan comeback... and destroyed MSU and many of the brackets all over the USA... One number one...that did it's thang...was the Oregon Ducks ...totally demolished the Holy Cross ...er, Holy Cross...isn't t...

Kind of like a temporary lull in the political action...maybe designed for the Big Dance to take center stage...right?...there are 3 states voting in the next 2 weeks for the Repubs ... more for the Demos, especially the caucus version ...the leaders, Trump and Clinton , are about half way to the nominations ...and the trend...is for more of the same...the Donald has even said that he won't participate in the next Fox Debate...I agree with him...way too many of them... As I just said, the Big Dance begins today...OK, the play in games really started it...but...the body of it all cranks forward this am.... expect some "upsets" ...this is like the most balanced one that has been in the books for a long while... no clear cut fav...witness the amount  of different number 1's throughout the season ....maybe Kansas...I dunno...I'll let you know tomorrow... Dismantling of a team...that's what the Warriors did to the Knicks last eve...oh my...for all the ...

Morning, ya'll ...as we say in the south...SoCal...we all talk like this here...sure nuff...anyway...this is just a quickie... my 3rd straight day of golf is looming on the horizon...and I do mean horizon...we were out at daybreak yesterday...eegads... The elections ... the winners? ... Hilz! ...big time...and her path seems so much clearer...with a 5 state sweep of the Bern ...who has to consider the phasing out part...he was a great alternate...but... the DNC and the Peops...want Clinton ...it's true... Also, the Donald ...a monster win in Florida ...beat your boy Marco by almost 20 points!...slam dunk... Trump also won 3 others ...except, the GUV, Kasich , won his home state of Ohio...hmmm...so he stays... The losers? ...well, it's obvious... Rubio finally pulled out... Bernie should follow suit...he won't...just like Kasich won't...and lookee here, Raffy won nuttin... it's a conundrum ...ha ha...just wanted to use that word... The RNC is up ...

Nothing like being wrong...as the Oregon Ducks got a number 1 seed ...not only that, but in the WEST!...seems like all the west coast teams get nods everywhere but in their region...and... the mighty Beavs of OSU also got in ...what?...a no.7, in the west... What is going on?... the bloody RPI ...which the "selection committee" must rely on a ton... had the Pac 12 as a dominant league ...really?...the Horse says no way...ha ha... that UNC/Duke league was much, much better ....don't hate me...it's just an opinion...BTW, the SDSU Aztecs got passed over...boo...they won the MWC...beat the Cal Bears...somehow, that got lost...finally...Tulsa?...so non-deserving...will say, this was the worst job ever of seeding... The east coast pundits are irate that MSU was not a number 1 and the Ducks were...ha ha...geez, this isn't football...once you get a rep...ha ha...the Big Ten is a power house hoop league...really...I always get them wrong in my bracket...always...an...

If you think it's 6:30 am right now, you forgot to SPRING FORWARD! ...ha ha...what a ridiculous way of adjusting our time...right?...er, is it fall back?...what the heck?...the more daylight we get is the best method...so says Horse... More on yesterday's blog... the Trump unrest ...think that the RNC isn't just loving every minute of it? ...you bet they are...and... I'm the one that is saying that they have planted it all ...it is their last ploy...I'm a telling you, it is an evil and nasty business...go ahead Repubs, you DESERVE Raffy as your candy man... The Big Dance ...this is THE DAY that college hoop teams gets their ticket in the T ...win your league playoffs and you're in...but...if you don't...you are at the mercy of the infamous "selection committee".... 68 squads make it up ...so much is based on the bloody RPI...who you played and beat...outside of your league...unless, you have a power one...like the Big Ten (14), or so...ha...
