Today I will be able to see LL Cool J, Tim McGraw, and The Killers for free at Reunion Park in Dallas, while the Final Four games are going on at AT&T Stadium in Arlington ... err, "North Texas." Whatever. That confused me because my brother's college is University of North Texas, which is in Denton ... not that close to Arlington. I mean, it is under an hour, I guess, but ...
Sunday, I can see fun. and Bruce "The Boss" Springsteen and The E-Street Band (if Max Weinberg is still their drummer, I'll forgive Team Coco for not giving me tickets to see Conan this week while he was in Dallas), after whoever The Wind & The Wave and Pat Green Band are.

It's first-come, first-serve until parking capacity is full up, so I plan on getting there early and staying, even though not every band is necessarily my thing. I'm always down to broaden my horizons, and I've never been to a country or rap concert, so bring it on.

I'll be getting updates on the games from my theScore app on my phone, and I wouldn't doubt if the bands or concert putter-onners update the games for us. Plus I can always watch the actual games online once they're done, so I'm not too worried about "missing" the Final Four games.
Speaking of which, I'm hoping for a Florida-Wisconsin final game.
I was debating on whether I wanted Kentucky to win their game against WI tomorrow, because UK had the toughest road to the Final Four of any NCAA team ever, apparently, and I considered them a powerful underdog. I love powerful underdogs.
Then my dad pointed out that most of the UK team are Freshmen who are expected to be one-and-done and move to the NBA once the season ends this upcoming Monday, which made them lose that underdog status their 8th-seed placement made them seem like they had. Thus, I'm going with family roots and rooting for Wisconsin. Hey, their star player, Kaminsky, makes me think of the awesome Drive artist Kavinsky:
Mmmmm ... 80s-ish
and I love a high scorer, so more power to him and his team.
Speaking of good scorers, this happened:
Original Tweet text from bleacherreport.com: "Mavericks defeat Lakers 107-95 as Dirk moves into 11th all time in scoring! #DALatLAL 11:56 PM - 4 Apr 2014"
Tonight's win was also the first time in franchise history we swept the Lakers.
Between this and SFASU's success this year, which now also includes Coach Underwood winning the Joe B. Hall Award, it's been a hell of a good year for my favorite basketball teams and myself. So it's the perfect time to bust this out:
Top right, notice the number and "shoulda lean"
Good times, junior high. Kind of.
The basketball part was good, cause I was still good at it. I'd honestly say I was second only to #44 next to me as far as MVP, cause I had the shot-making arm, but he was a much more physical player who did more for us overall.
The romantic side of this particular period in my life, on the other hand, was still just ... well, shit. lol
Ok, it's a bit sad that my "glory days" were in junior high, but c'mon, we're having fun here. lol 
Been getting back into at least shooting around in the gym, though. This year has really gotten me back in the spirit!
As for University of Connecticut and Florida, I'm definitely going for Florida. I know nothing about UConn, but if there's one thing I love more than a high scorer named Kaminsky playing for a college that represents my parents' birthplace and one I almost went to, it's a redemption story. I want Wilbekin to do well after almost being kicked out and being forced to move in with his parents by the coach. He seems like he's become a great leader. Also, Young is just hilariously well-built, so there's that.
As for the final game, while I have Florida winning it all in my bracket, I want to see Wisconsin pull an upset ... if they're even the two teams playing. We'll see.
Have a great weekend everyone! I know I will!
