(№ 2) Kansas 64-62 Ohio State (№ 2)
N.C.A.A. Final Four

(№ 1) Kentucky 69-61 Louisville (№ 4)
N.C.A.A. Final Four

Well, poo. On the other hand, I cannot deny experiencing a certain thrill as I watched the hated Buckeyes flail about, impotent to halt the Self-made men's onslaught. I do so love watching any team representing the Scarlet & Gray lose, all but regardless of the circumstances. I'm not alone in thinking Kentucky is going to chase Kansas right out of the building, yes? A shame, that, especially since it is inevitable that Kentucky will later have to vacate the win, just as UMass & Memphis had to vacate wins from John Calipari's tenures as head coach at those institutions. Sure, sure, he's never been implicated in any of the UMass or Memphis shenanigans, it is simple coincidence that every school for which he coaches later runs significantly afoul of the N.C.A.A. rulebook. In the immortal words of Ian Fleming, "Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. The third time it's enemy action." I'll never understand why Kentucky sold their souls for the surety that they'd be the proof of the fiend Calipari's "enemy action," the fools.

Closer to home, the blog U.M. Hoops has taken a pair of interesting looks back at the season that was for the valiant Wolverines: highlights & lowlights. Ah well, there's always next year.

Go Blue!

I've not yet had the time to watch last weekend's Malaysian Grand Prix. Curses!

By Endurance We Conquer
Bored with the first half of the Kentucky-Louisville game, I wandered through the channels to Speed, where I caught the last minutes of the Porsche 250, the second race of the year for the Rolex Sports Car Series. The Daytona Prototypes still look bulbous & awkward compared to proper Le Mans Prototypes, but aesthetic changes made since last year have made them look considerably more racy. As long as the American Le Mans Series remains unpalatable, mayhap I should invest more time & attention into the Rolex Series. It's not A.C.O.-sanctioned, but it is endurance racing.
