Monkeys

Oh, BYU. Back in the tourney. They couldn't get the monkey off their back by beating UNLV at the Thomas & Mack. Even if they had, there would have been another monkey: winning a game that's broadcast on Versus. In both football and basketball, they've lost every game this season that was shown on Versus (should be called Curses). Now they face another monkey: getting past the first round in the NCAA tournament. It hasn't happened in a long time. They have their most favorable seed in recent history (though it doesn't seem very favorable), so this should be the year, right? We'll have to see. One dude on SI.com thinks they'll make it to the Final Four. Me? I'll be happy with a single win.

You are so funny! Are you in a pot? The Johnsen's are doing one and it is huge. You can join along and it is only $5 to join. Erin won $400 bucks last year! Awesome! Let me know.

Fun talking to you yesterday!

Brett told me about the Final Four prediction. I think that is kind of a stretch but it would be way cool. We were at the T&M and watched them lose to UNLV. I was so thrilled to go the game the next day that we had already bought tickets for :( That's the problem with the Y in football or basketball, they can never quite push themselves over the edge on those big games to get a win that really counts (except for against the U some years). They have good teams, but they don't win the big games. For that reason, I have my doubts about the tourney, but I still hold out hope. They really are a great team when they want to be.
