The women’s tournament may need to reevaluate its format. This is ridiculous:

Women’s Basketball Scores

USC beat UNC Greensboro 75-25

UConn beats Arkansas State 103-34

No offense but NO college player should be allowed to do the Steph Curry "Night,Night" .

Steph is way above any of these clowns...

Yeah he was THAT dude in college too. Top 10 player of all-time imo. I’m glad he wasn’t highly recruited or else he would’ve been a Dook by like his brother. Makes him more likable being from Davidson.

That's a lot of storage you have there on the brain. One day your head
will explode & all this knowledge will be out running around loose.

Had to change my starter today on my car. What a doozy that was. Had to take the freaking intake manifold out and those connections were a biatch to get off. Why can’t car manufacturers do us all a solid and make those things easier to take off? (I know the answer, just venting)

His brother started out at Liberty for a couple of years and then transferred to Duke.

One word ..... Money. The money you'll spend at their dealership to fix it.

My mother had a Buick Estate wagon that was about the same size and I drove it for my driving test. Tester was impressed with my parallel parking skills. Came in handy when I parallel parked my Chevy Astrovan on High St. in St. Andrew's 20+ years later.

Given my current standing in the Old timers tournament challenge, I should stick with driving and not prognosticating.

Someone mentioned having a wellness check on me, which isn't far from the truth:

For a few weeks I was working really hard trying to finish another class early and do some work on a potential patent before Spring Break. I planned on re-connecting here during Spring Break which was this past week.

My friend and roommate, Marc, got to pick what we were doing for spring break which was 3 days in Ft. Lauderdale/Miami and 4-5 days in Washington, DC. A couple of days before Break, Marc and I were coming home from a computer lab and stopped on a stairway in our building and said he needed to rest. So he sat on one of the steps. Then he looks at me, with some amount of fear in his eyes and say, "Drew, I'm dying". Then he passed out. I stopped him from sliding down the stairs and called 911.

He was bleeding internally, his thyroid quit working and his body quit making red blood cells. He was extremely anemic and was in fact, dying.
They did an ultrasound of his heart for about 40 minutes and didn't find anything. Then did a upper and lower GI a couple of days later. Nothing. Cat scan of his thoracic cavity and found nothing.

Over the past week they gave him 5 bags of blood and 4 bags of iron enriched blood.
Tuesday night 5 people and a crash cart literarily came crashing into the room.
Wednesday, between 7AM and 5PM, I counted 29 times someone woke him to up to hang bags of blood or draw blood or take vitals or his doctor, nurse, nurse's aid asking questions.

We spent 8 days in the hospital and they diagnosed him with micro-bleeding because they know he's bleeding very slowly, but don't know from where.
Now that he is taking a synthetic for hypothyroidism, they hope his body figures it out because they are out of the ideas. We're supposed to go to our general practitioner next week.

We slept last night and all day today. Didn't see any of the NCAAT yet. He wanted me to wake him up at 930PM because he wants to try to watch UCLA vs Tenn at 940PM. :)
