[NU Sports] Butler

[neonrye at aol.com]

Read article in NY Times today that Matt Howard has 3.37 at Butler, majoring, if memory serves, in Economics.  He is one of 10 children from working-class family.  A great kid, according to the article.  I could see their Coach pacing sideline at Welsh-Ryan--in my dreams.  No offense, Mr. Carmody, but Brad Stevens--who looks like a geeky "Tech weenie"--could be the man to lead us to the promised land.  Only I don't think that's ever gonna happen.:-(

Yes, Alan.  As usual, you have hit the nail on the proverbial head.

Gotta say that although my "bracket" is in tatters, I was a happy guy today with the wins by Butler and our local entry from the Big Least (as SJT loves to say).   Now if VCU shocks the world, that would be sweet as well.  Not a lot other than them to root for tomorrow, as Kentucky-North Carolina is essentially a battle between two ridiculously successful, arrogant programs.  Calipari is always one step ahead of "the law" and Williams is not my cup of tea, either.  And the Jayhawks are another "empire" with history.  

It's gonna hurt Monday night not being able to go to MSG to root for the 'Cats.

News item: Butler advances to Final Four for second straight year.
News item: Northwestern, for 73rd consecutive season, fails to earn a
id to NCAA tournament.
Discuss.
Who wants to tell me, just to jump start the conversation, that Butler
s recruiting superior athletes?
Or that Butler student-athletes couldn't hack it academically at Northwestern?
