Hawkeyes Advance

Stay up for the end of Iowa / WVa ? The score was tied with less than a minute to go. Hawkeyes hit their free throws, and won by ten. After the game Caitlin shared the spotlight with two five year seniors playing their last home game: Kate Martin and Gabbie Marshall.

What time do the basketball games start on Thursday ? I guess on Thursday the Braves will start their season opener around 3 pm, right while the afternoon NCAA games are going on.  Seems like the men play Thurs-Sun and the women play Fri-Mon.

LSU’s Angel Reese was called out for her lack of effort on defense in the Lady Tigers’ first two NCAA Tournament games.

Back in the glory days of Atlanta Hawks basketball, team president Mike Gearon sat courtside, sometimes next to owner Ted Turner. Gearon, who retired young after making his fortune in real estate, was paid a salary of one dollar per year. His son is now part owner of the team. Team exec Mike Storen was the father of broadcaster Hannah Storm. Gearon always wore the same outfit – khaikis, white dress shirt, navy blazer, and loafers. I need to ask Jeff Hullinger why this was.

I went to at least one Hawks game at Alexander Memorial Coliseum. The bell that would ring whenever Walt Bellamy scored. Lou Hudson and the lime green uniforms – my favorite Hawks uniform of all time. I guess Maravich was there.

CARL YASTRZEMSKI [SABR Bio] is the first former Little League player to be elected to the Hall of Fame. 20 others have made it since. Yaz was voted into the Hall of Fame on the first vote in 1989.

Convinced that their QB JaMarcus Russell wasn’t making the effort required from a NFL QB, the Raiders gave Russell blank tapes to see if he was really watching film.

Ended the day with ten emails, but they keep coming, almost one per minute. But still hours of projects to get done.

Monday supper: chicken salad, and leftover Mexican rice.
