[DaShi]

Wow, I did pretty good on this thing.

[-Jrabbit]

Maybe fold it into the next Avengers movie... Tony Stark, billionaire playboy genius basketball coach!

[snoopy369]

See?

[snoopy369]

Pacino is another possibility, but I really see Robert Downey Junior.

[H Tower]

By the way, have they started scripting the Rick Pitino movie yet? If so, will Robert Downey Jr. be available to play the lead?

Why not Pacino? They practically look like twins at this point

[snoopy369]

Agree. I'm not sure it didn't help Louisville more, but certainly Michigan had that game and then lost it when they lost patience/control and started turning the ball over too much (similar to Wichita State, really). That's Louisville's game - keep the pressure on, almost everyone bursts eventually.

[Guynemer]

Don't get me wrong; the better team won. I full expected to lose last night, even went Spike went ape**** and we were up double digits.

I'm not saying the refs screwed Michigan. They screwed both teams on multiple occasions. Those kids deserved better than what the NCAA gave them.

[-Jrabbit]

Yeah, the officiating sucked, but the bottom line is that Michigan blinked.

When Hancock single-handedly made up that 12-point deficit in about 90 seconds near the end of the half, the change in demeanor was immediate and palpable on both teams. After that, it was just a matter of watching how it would play out.

BTW, giving Albrecht the game MVP was an absolute joke. At least they gave Hancock the Most Outstanding Player award for the tournament.

And yeah, congrats to the bracket winners.

[snoopy369]

Well, you were of use to your fellow pediatricians, for sure, not getting woken up at 2am

[Guynemer]

I'm glad I have been of use to my fellow Polytubbies.

[snoopy369]

Well, you did say "Big"...

Btw, you'll be proud of me. The almost-2 year old had 104.1 degrees saturday night at 2am and didn't call anyone

[Guynemer]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH NO

No.

No no no no no no no no no.

We aren't doing that.

We actually like having a life. Such as it is.

[snoopy369]

Big news? Curious, when a pediatrician's kid gets a bad fever, who does he call at 1am frantically worried and needing reassurance - his coworkers, or someone from another clinic entirely?

[Guynemer]

Pretty good. You see that video of a seven-year old cancer patient scoring a touchdown at the Nebraska Spring Game? That was a pretty heartwarming story.

Indeed it was. Classy move. Pellini's likability went up by orders of magnitude. I'll be rooting for you guys every week save one next season (pending division standing shenanigans).

Hope the wife is doing well.

Quite. May have some big news on that front shortly.

Now, kindly go **** off and die.

I insist: ladies first.

Sincerely,

Dr. Guy N. Emer, MD
