Lighten up, Francis. BTW, which Kentucky player was just named AP Player of the Year?

President Obama, an avid hoops fan, picked Kentucky as the eventual championship team in his annual predictions bracket.

If Obama picked Kentucky, then Kentucky is doomed to lose

Just calling it as I see it. Check out McDonald’s All-American Team. I would say since you already state you hate both of the top two teams you are one with an axe to grind.

I wished it worked that way, but he has proven to often it don’t work that way.

[Yo-Yo]

Axe to grind? Nah, I’ve gotten over it. Good luck tomorrow against Wisconsin.

It’s rumored that our state is not only populated with beer swillers, but brandy slammers, as well. A few Web sites even reported that Wisconsin is responsible for 90 percent of the world’s brandy consumption, so we decided to go straight to the source: Korbel, the top brandy maker in the United States.

“Wisconsin is our number one state,” says Margie Healy, director of public relations for the California-based Korbel. “We export 385,000 cases a year, and 139,000 go directly to Wisconsin. That’s one-third of our total production.”

I wonder how big is St. Bernard ownership in Wisconsin? ;-)

I picked Kentucky to win but I’m glad Governor Walker won his bet.

Now his challenge, collect his bourbon before Joe Biden intercepts it.

Kentucky's perfect season ends with 71-64 loss to Wisconsin

Never doubted our boys for a minute. And they’re just getting started! It’s going to be so much fun to have this young team around for a few more years!

Go, Bucky! On, Wisconsin!

Hopefully, Gov Walker gets Makers Mark.

The 2 teams in the championship game are from states with R governors. The only thing tipping me toward WI last night was Gov. Walker (R) v. Beshear.(D). (no, I’m not petty at all!)

And what Kentucky bourbon, in particular, is considered the best?

[Larry Lucido]

So who gets to drink the bourbon?

[rabidralph]

Here's a short list of a few Wisconsin craft brewers. If anyone gets near the upper midwest, you may be able to find some excellent Wisconsin beer for sale.

Pappy Van Winkle’s Family Reserve 20-Year-Old.

And I do not deny that Wisconsin earned it.
