I can't believe

that CU didn't make it to the Big Dance. After the last team was announced, for the NCAA B-ball tourney, the first thing the announcer said, "I can't believe Colorado didn't make it", The two sites I checked didn't even have them on 'the bubble' after they beat K-State for the 3rd time this year, and K-State made it. UNbelievable. Colo played Kansas, the #1 seed, really close, TWICE. Would be really interesting to find out what happened, when you see some of the teams who made it. The first question asked of the head of the committee, on live TV, was "What happened with Colorado?", and the guy had no real answer, other than, 'We look at a lot of things, including their style of play". What the hell! I just wonder what the real story is. Something REALLY stinks.

Colorado, probably more than anyone, has a legitimate beef. Kansas State was given a No. 5 seed this year, and Colorado beat the Wildcats three times this year. The Buffaloes beat Texas and they beat Missouri and they beat Colorado State. All three of those teams were ranked higher than anyone beaten by UAB.

Here's a look at this season's most controversial omissions:

1. Colorado (21-13, 8-8, RPI: 66): Considering Clemson and UAB's lack of quality wins, it's astonishing that Colorado did not make this field. The Buffs' three wins over Kansas State and victories over Missouri and Texas should have been enough to merit an NCAA tournament berth.

Gene Smith is chairman of the NCAA Tournament selection committee. Which makes him the most powerful man in college basketball. Fiery darts come the chairman's way every Selection Sunday.

The first question hurled at Smith by CBS' Jim Nantz on Sunday was about Colorado. Why didn't the Buffaloes make the 68-team field?

Alas, powerful sportsmen are like powerful politicians. They never give you a straight answer.

“When we looked at them,” Smith said, “they just didn't quite get the votes to get in.”

Gee, thanks, Gene. Really insightful.

Because I'm sorta stuck in an Anti-Bush rant.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D99NHb6B03s Can you imagine all those rapper stars with these things? Of course, they'd have to have theirs with 'da bling! Can't be standard, gawd no! And of course, Britney's gotta have one in her car. Paris with her pooch totin' one on the red carpet at some fete. The boys in 'da hood will have a field day on their daily drive bys. P Diddy will wear his on a chain around his neck. You suppose there will be special pockets made in jeans for these things? Trailer trash folks will have 'em camouflaged. Jeff Foxworthy will have to come up with some fresh Redneck stuff. Think George W. will get one, each for the twins? Don't forget Dickie boy for those spur of the moment huntin' trips. Of course Ma Babs will have hers with pearls. Think it will affect the Royals? I can imagine Charles and Camilia on their fox hunt...........ah yes, and Prince Philip, too, must include the

Great 'bargains' at the local Sprouts store

where we picked up asparagus and baby back ribs. Carol and I went for the same stuff (serarately, today), cuz it is so good, AND a great price. Had it for dinner tonight. WOW. One of my fav dinners, as the ribs start out in the crock pot, then finish on the grill, with fresh asparagus. (and bread pudding for dessert) I LOVE this time of year...

You think the Repub brand is tarnished now?

Just wait 'til Bonehead leads us all over the cliff, to save his 2% buddies having to pay a little higher tax. The Pubs keep thinking the American public is stupid, and they can get away with their phony political crap. They keep forgetting we're not all a bunch of FOXNews sheep, who'll swallow whatever swill is shoveled to them. A once proud party, like a beast in it's death throes, striking out to harm whatever's close, threatening to shut the gov't down, (again), over the debt limit, which is just paying the bills they already ran up. Political hacks, pretending to be patriots. So sad...
