I have been a resident of Houston (for better or worse) for 5 years now. No, I am not a Houstonian or even worse, a Texan, but this is a helpful guide for you fans of Michigan St., Stanford, or God’s team, Memphis, that will be coming here to cheer your team at beautiful Reliant Stadium. For once, someone will actually win something at reliant Stadium, seeing as though it is also the home field for the NFL’s Houston Texans. Yes I know I omitted the Texas Longhorns, but as much as they play in Houston and considering this is their home state, essentially it is a homecoming. Plus, the dope boys are excited because Matthew McGodhesgay will be here to root on his Longhorns, meaning an instant boost of the sticky icky sales for this year…
Travel
*There are 2 main airports here: George H.W. Bush Intercontinental Airport & William P. Hobby Airport. Hobby is the much smaller airport and less overall hassle, but from my experience, Bush is a little bit more efficient. I just have issues with the airport’s name.
*Avoid if at all possible all major interstates and highways between the hours of 6 am-7 pm Monday-Friday and especially I-45S towards Galveston and I-10W towards Katy on weekends. The more side streets that you can find, the better.
*The cabs inside the loop are pretty efficient, but just as in New York, Chicago, and LA, you might need to carry at least a foreign language dictionary. Pick one.
*Metro Bus System absolutely sucks. If anyone is big time enough to stay downtown, there is a light rail system that will transport you from downtown to Reliant Park, but a word of caution: The light rail is super quiet. What this means is that if you are either walking or driving your car and you are not paying attention, you will get run over.

Upsets always happen in this tournament and round one proved no exception. My brackets are screwed up now. Sheesh.
My beloved Vols held their own and thwarted a late rally against the communist of American University.
Curry of Davidson became a legend as his team beat Gonzaga. I picked Davidson thank God.
Saint Mary’s was no match against Miami. Miami might be the most overlooked team in tourney.
Western Kentucky defeated America’s sweetheart team of Drake with a last second three pointer. Thanks Drake you screwed up my bracket.
South Alabama proved no match against Butler. The way Butler played I wouldn’t be surprised to see them defeat my beloved Vols.
Georgetown beat up on UMBC…yawn
Texas beat up Austin Peay…another yawn
But wait…on overtime game which saw UCONN get defeated by San Diego. Thanks UCONN you again proved you’re useless to me.
North Carolina looked like the number one should by scoring over a hundred against a hapless Mount St. Mary’s squad.
Oklahoma showed that people might have been overlooking them by defeated St. Joe’s handedly.
Vanderbilt embarrassed themselves and the SEC by losing to Siena. Thanks Vandy…you terds.
Miss. State rallied big time to defeat Oregon, another team the shouldn’t have been there.
Arkansas is jelling and Indiana is exited early so them can text Sampson whining.
Louisville attempts to make the case that for this year they are the best team out of Kentucky as they defeated Boise State.
Villanova defeated Clemson. Another five seed goes down to the twelve seed. Villanova’s tourney experience helped them mount a comeback. At one time Clemson led 32-18 in the first half. Nova won by six.
Memphis beat up on Texas-Arlington or as I have renamed them the University of Hank Hill.

Hank Hill with a young Billy Gillispie

Xavier avoids being the fifth team in row to be upset by the Dawgs of Georgia. Rallying from being down 11 points the Musketeers win by 12. Georgia simply didn’t have the depth they needed. Look for this Xavier to go far into the tourney.Kansas thumps Portland State by 24. Gee…who didn’t see that coming?
Temple returns to the tourney only to disappoint Bill Cosby and the Jello Pudding Pop nation by losing to the Michael Moores Spartans of Michigan State.
UNLV wallops Kent State. Funny all I’ve heard for the past week was how Kent State was a mid major sleeper team.
Pitt continues its winning ways by whipping Oral Roberts by 19. Look for Pitt to go a little further in the tourney.
Purdue defeats Murder Inc. I mean Baylor and quite handily at that.
The Irish of Notre Dame defeated George Mason by 18. I doubt their football team could beat George Mason though.
Wisconsin shows why they belong by beating an up tempo Cal State Fullerton team is ease.
West Virginia defeated an Arizona team that by most accounts shouldn’t have been there.
UCLA who I’m picking to win it all embarrassed Mississippi Valley State. Like MVS had a prayer without Jerry Rice there.
Stanford beat up on the smartie pants of Cornell.
K-State defeats USC which shouldn’t surprise anyone. I’m still shocked that USC received such a high seed. Look for Beasley and company to advance next round as well.
Belmont must have Joel’s post about them because Duke was almost exited early by a nobody for the second straight year.
Washington State flexed some muscle and grounded the Eagles of Winthrop by 31.
Texas A&M defeated BYU in perhaps the least interesting game of the year. Zzzzzzzz
And lastly Kentucky’s failboat the USS One and Done has set sail thanks to Marquette. Boy I’m willing to bet some SEC coaches are regretting voting Billy G. for co-coach of the year. I’m sure Ashley Judd will give him a tongue lashing, hopefully he’ll be sober enough to remember it. Then again why was KY even in the tournament to begin with?

I wonder if Billy G. is going down with the ship?
