Congratulations (gulp!) to your Cards. (Oh my, how difficult that is to wish congrats to a Cards fan - haha) However, my March Madness interest isn’t quite the same, as it typically each year, as my team didn’t quite make it in this year (very rare!) - as I bleed blue. My team - the #1 National Champions of 2012 - Kentucky Wildcats -didn’t even “show up” this year. (sigh) But, we’ll be back, next year - watch out!!

I feel your pain. On the merits, they did not deserve to get in. However, even with Noel out, they still have so much talent that if they could ever get their act together, they have the potential to put together a 3-4 game run in the tourney. That's the problem with one-and-dones..On the other hand, I must rejoice, because it means that

Ashley Judd is depressed!!

FYI..there was much speculation that UK would get in, simply because Wildcat fans travel. Attendance at some of the first round games has been pathetic recently, so some thought the committee might put them through. Personally, had they got in, they'd be in one of the first round play-in games, and that would somehow be beneath Kentucky, given their pedigree...and imagine if they actually went and LOST a play-in game?..Nope, it's better that they're out..

I thought they put entirely too much emphasis on Noel, and the lamentations of woe at his injury. Got to be a demoralizing thing for the rest of the team.

It’s all coming off the heels of last years spectacular lineup...give ‘em some time, the n00bs will find their cohesion.

Ya can't win tournaments year after year with one and done’s. Snake Cal got what he deserved, but I feel bad for the fans.
