sparquelito Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 (edited) I don't follow basketball much, but I do pay attention every year around this time to see how far Auburn and Alabama have gotten in the tournaments. Usually they get knocked out pretty early. Played a lot of football growing up, little league stuff in the 1960's, and the middlin' Army leagues when I was in Junior High. Loved football. I was good at it. (Until later on, when everyone else grew up bigger than me. By the time high school rolled around, I was too small to compete.) My dad made me play basketball one year, I guess I was 13 or so. I sucked at basketball, horribly. Really never enjoyed it to watch either, over the years. Back when Pistol Pete Maravich was hard at it, I sat down and watch a few games on the TV with my older brother Paul. I find it interesting that Paul is an avid basketball fan. Lives near San Antonio, and has season tickets to the Spurs. He went to college at Kansas, a big time basketball school, back in the 1970's anyway. Guess we have just two genetic differences from our older brother Paul. 1. Younger brother Stacey and I are gifted at playing musical instruments, naturally easily and without training. We can hang and jam with any bar band, no problem. But we can't read sheet music, and never had any formal training. Paul has no knack for it, but went to piano lessons late in life, and plays the piano nicely,. But only off the sheet music. He can't jam or improvise, he can only play what's on the sheet music there. 2. Stacey and I don't care for basketball, at all. Paul loves it, and is a die-hard fan. Weird. 😐 Edited March 31 by sparquelito Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Californiaman Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 North Carolina State looks good. Purdue is also playing well, as is UCON. It's been entertaining to say the least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt. Pepper Posted April 7 Author Share Posted April 7 (edited) Down to UConn and Purdue for the men on Monday.

Sgt. Pepper Posted April 8 Author Share Posted April 8 (edited) 9:40 Eastern Time it’s on. The Lady Gamec-ocks of SC beat The Lady Hawkeyes of Iowa yesterday. That phenom from Iowa never won a National Championship. Edited April 8 by Sgt. Pepper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
