March Madness Mutterings

By Jeff Mayfield

[MARCH 31, 2003]  My brackets are totally busted! How are yours? I didn't have one team in the Final Four … could think I don't predict for a living, huh? We'd starve this spring!

How 'bout those Marquette Golden Eagles? Has to be the team of choice in the French Quarter! And they would have even been a lot better had they finally chosen Gregg Alexander two years ago. They'd have Travis on the point, Wade doing whatever he wants, Novak on one wing and Alexander pounding them down on the other… a national championship banner just waiting to be hung! Oh well, we'll root for them anyway…

Can you say enough about the Hartsburg-Emden and Mount Pulaski volleyball teams? If I ever have any daughters, I guess I better get them in volleyball camps during pre-school! I had always thought that maybe tennis or golf was the route. All these GREAT volleyball programs have made me rethink that position! Congratulations to Hartem for winning the 7A and the 8A state championships, and we hope to see you on "FANdamonium" soon!

Speaking of "FANdamonium"… Join my co-host Greg Taylor tonight as his guests will be the voice of the Railers, Jeff Benjamin, and we think Tom Larry. Also, expect a few surprises. You can catch the show every Monday at 6 p.m. right here on the LDN or at FIX 96.3 FM or on Lincoln cable Channel 5!

I think that Texas was a lot better than people thought they were.

Marquette was kind of a sandbaggin' team. When we saw them in Indy, we thought Illinois was a lot better.

At any rate, it's time to play golf. Got your sticks out yet? Any early reports on what courses are looking good, really good deals? Send 'em in and we'll post them all for the world to see.

IF this column seems a little subdued right now, it's just hard to get real up for sports with a war going on. My heart not only goes out to the soldiers, but it goes out to innocent families and civilians all over the world. I hope that leaders one day realize that their actions DO have repercussions on everybody…

 

 

[to top of second column in this article]

Today is baseball's Opening Day… following last night's Opening Night. We like Atlanta, Houston or the Cubs and San Francisco. In the junior circuit we'll go with the White Sox, the Yankees and the swingin' A's!

Don't know if the Cardinals have enough pitching or can stay healthy enough to reach the playoffs again.

Would like to see the St. Louis Blues win a Stanley Cup. What are their realistic chances?

Did you see the way Davis Love III played this weekend? Fred Couples said it was the best he had ever seen Love play!

Does anyone know the secret to hitting long, straight long-iron shots?

I haven't seen so many balls heading for the water since Medinah! Or, since the last time I teed them up!

Can anyone beat Michelle Kwan?

What ever happened to Jenny Chusiaporn?

Didn't get to see it, but heard the North-South game out at the Laughlin Center had plenty of scoring!

Anybody know any good, inside rumors about the Illinois State coaching jobs? I'd jump ship for six figures and a country club membership, and I think I could promise them at least 10 wins! If you know Perk personally, throw the name into the hat…

On that hilarious note, we'll close. Have a GREAT week, everybody!

[Jeff Mayfield]
