NCAA tourney disappoints, Rockets looking good, Aggie Video Stardom

Came up a little short on the Final Four predictions. Was looking good heading into the weekend, with OU, Louisville & Nova. Only Nova showed up thought. Louisville should be embarrassed by their effort - Terrance Williams especially. Go back and watch him in the 2nd half - he did nothing. Well unless you count jogging up and down the court followed by long spells of standing around on offense. Look Michigan State took the game from them sure, they showed Louisville early that if they wanted to beat them, they were going to have to work. Thus the lost, b/c apparently if it wasn't going to come easy then Louisville wasn't interested in trying. Very disappointing. But why not, the whole tourney has been disappointing, very little madness this March.
=====================================
Down the stretch for the Rockets who will likely finish in the top 4 if they continue to win when they are supposed to. That means beating Portland, Orlando and New Orleans at home and at least Sacramento and Golden State on the road. Phoenix, the Lakers and Dallas are their other three roadies and if they win any of those 3 I'd say lock up a top 4 seed. Then depending on San Antonio's and Denver's finish, maybe the Rockets still sneak into a 2 or 3 seed - which could be huge - potentially missing LA and SA in their half of the bracket and hopefully Utah as well.

Can't Miss Vids
Most of you are familiar with The Lonely Island from SNL and a little ditty called, "I'm On a Boat." Apparently they have TVs and/or internet access in College Station, since a quartet of Aggies must have caught wind of it. Now what do you get when you cross brilliance in lyrical parody from comedic geniuses like Andy Samberg with 4 guys in Aggieland who want to dress like milkmen and scream????
You get this....(The following video received 4 out of 5 WOWs!!)

=====================================
The original is here if you feel the need to cleanse yourself of the above disaster. (Although likely highly-rated on the unintentional comedy scale)

=====================================
Are you aware that USC head coach Pete Carroll wants Will Ferrell to get on Twitter? You are now.

=====================================
Another video for you, I was watching this earlier today and thought it was hilarious. Flores set McKendry up beautifully. She was in a win-win situation. If she goes ahead and obliges his request, she wins. Or if not, she still wins. When you have 5 Sportscenters airing one after the other after the other all morning long - this is the kind of stuff that can keep it moderately fresh.
