Quaterfinals!

Well, I'm sorry I didn't post this, but I was right about the Michigan State women's basketball team. I had this: Michigan State 62, Kentucky 59. Though I never posted that (sorry again), I thought maybe this will be a way to improve upon my high school basketball pickings. I got them and they're ready to go. By the way, tomorrow I'll update you on my NCAA bracket.

Michigan State 68, Wisconsin-Milwaukee 59.

Bellaire 77, Bay City All Saints 73.

Random Thoughts of the Week

It's baaaaaaaaaaaaaack!

I haven't seen the score yet, so I'll just say it and hope I'm not an idiot. Michigan State 71, George Mason 63.

And since Okemos beat Dexter to continue my high school basketball roll, I'll take Unionville-Sebewaing 73, Saginaw Buena Vista 71.

Saturday Night Main Events goes down from Cobo Arena tomorrow. Watch it. You'll love it.

By the way, I heard plans for the next Detroit show. Kurt Angle, Randy Orton, and Rey Mysterio in a triple-threat match for the World Heavyweight Championship, and Chris Benoit one-on-one with Mark Henry. Nice.

Bad thing about the NCAA Tournament: No "Ghost Whisperer."

Mmmmmmm... "Wild N' Out" Girls. Ahhhhhhhhhhhh.

P.S., can't wait for Wayne Brady to guess star on that show. Who knows improv better than him.

Some many upcoming episodes of "Veronica Mars" coming up, I can't be any happier. How closer are we to finding out the killer of the kids on the bus and/or the killer of Felix? I have my money on Kendall Casablancas.

My time's up. You've been great. Enjoy "Saturday Night Main Events."

Only two more hours...

Until the American release of "V for Vendetta." Yeah, like I'm gonna pull a TRL and wait in line. I love Natalie Portman too, but I'm not anxious to go see a midnight show. This looks like a killer film. Basically, here's the plot: Germany wins World War II (Lord, kill me now), and the United Kingdom is now a facist republic. The masked superhero, V, played by Hugo Weaving, aka Agent Smith from "The Matrix" movies (funny how the Wachowski brothers did the screenplay, ain't it?), launches vigilante attacks against the oppressive government. When a young woman named Evey (Natty Katt) is rescued by V, she joins the fight against this nightmarish British government. Believe me, this sounds like a kick-ass movie that should not be missed. I hope to catch it on the weekend.

Oh, alright, high school basketball update, but only because you asked nicely. Clarkston beat Grand Blanc, like I called. So let's say, um, Okemos 66, Dexter 61.

Now it's just getting ridciulous

I swear, guys, I have never been this good with high school basketball picks. Thus far, I've lost just one game. Thank you Detroit Redford, you guys gave me a scare. Winning the game. IN DOUBLE OVERTIME!? What are you trying to do, give me a f'ing heart attack?

Well, now that I've taken my nitrites, I feel comfortable picking the next game. To loyal reader sports girl (btw, I think you're a little young for this blog), I'm sorry, but I gotta say it. Clarkston 61, Grand Blanc 60.

Note to Brandon Mars, it's Clarkston, with a T. It has nothing to do with Kelly.

It's the most wonderful time of the year

I'm referring to March Madness, of course. What better way to live a sports junkie's life than the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament. Well, I think you deserve my picks. Oh, before I forget, Wyoming Godwin Heights beat Zeeland East, and tonight, I got Detroit Redford 66, Detroit Pershing 64 in overtime.

First Round: Duke over Southern, George Washington over North Carolina-Wilmington, Texas A&M over Syracuse, LSU over Iona, West Virginia over Southern Illinois, Northwestern State over Iowa, North Carolina State over California, Texas over Penn, Memphis over Oral Roberts, Arkansas over Bucknell, Pittsburgh over Kent State, Kansas over Bradley, Indiana over San Diego State, Gonzaga over Xavier, Marquette over Alabama, UCLA over Belmont, Connecticut over Albany, Kentucky over UAB, Washington over Utah State, Illinois over Air Force, Michigan State over George Mason, North Carolina over Murray State, Wichita State over Seton Hall, Tennessee over Winthrop, Villanova over Monmouth/Hampton winner, Wisconsin over Arizona, Montana over Nevada, Boston College over Pacific, Oklahoma over Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Florida over South Alabama, Georgetown over Northern Iowa, Ohio State over Davidson.

Second Round: Duke over George Washington, LSU over Texas A&M, West Virginia over Northwestern State, Texas over North Carolina State, Memphis over Arkansas, Pittsburgh over Kansas, Gonzaga over Indiana, UCLA over Marquette, Connecticut over Kentucky, Washington over Illinois, North Carolina over Michigan State, Wichita State over Tennessee, Villanova over Wisconsin, Boston College over Montana, Florida over Oklahoma, Ohio State over Georgetown.

Sweet Sixteen: Duke over LSU, Texas over West Virginia, Pittsburgh over Memphis, Gonzaga over UCLA, Washington over Connecticut, North Carolina over Wichita State, Villanova over Boston College, Florida over Ohio State.

Elite Eight: Duke over Texas, Gonzaga over Pittsburgh, Washington over North Carolina, Villanova over Florida.

Final Four: Duke over Gonzaga, Villanova over Wahington.

National Championship: Duke over Villanova.

Now, some of these will change, depending how the games go. For now, I'm sticking to this.

High School Basketball picks so far

Well, I haven't posted my picks lately, but my picks were laying around, so I thought I'd tell you how I did.

Wyoming Godwin Heights over Wyoming Park. And there was much rejoycing. Yay.

Wednesday's pick: Saginaw 71, Saginaw Arthur Hill 67.
Result: Saginaw Arthur Hill wins. D'OH!

Thursday's pick: Livonia Clarenceville 80, Redford Thurston 79 (2OT).
Result: Victory for the hometown homies. Clarenceville wins. And there was much rejoycing. Yay.

Friday's pick: Flint Southwestern 64, Flint Powers Catholic 62.
Result: Southwestern's moving on. And there was much rejoycing. Yay.

Today's pick: Wyoming Godwin Heights 62, Zeeland East 61.

We Wild 'N Out now! We Wild N' Out now!

Over the river and through the woods to Target I go. The Wild N' Out Season One DVD is now available, and on it you can see Nick Cannon get ripped into by Orlando Jones, Christina Milian, Ying Yang Twins, Kanye West, Farnsworth Bentley, Eva Pigford, Kenan Thompson, Omarion, and Method Man. Trust me people, this s#!+ is gold. *Mike Myers*And I love goooold*Mike Myers*

By the way, since I correctly predicted Holt's win over Battle Creek Central, I'll take Wyoming Godwin Heights over Wyoming Park, 59-58.

Random Thought of the Week

Sorry I'm late. My computer was on the fritz so I thought my Red Cross certifications would revive it. Nope.

I'll take Holt 62, Battle Creek Central 59 tonight.

WWE PPV record continues to sink. Kurt Angle, Chris Benoit, and Gregory Helms won at No Way Out. Joey Mercury & Johnny Nitro, Lashley, and Rey Mysterio lost. 3-3. A pitiful 16-21 thusfar.

Love Law & Order still, but I miss Jerry Orbach's wisecracks.

Oh well, there's still SVU's Elliot Stabler roughing up suspects. And CI's Robert Goran's constant pursuit of Nicole Wallace.

Speaking of which, what will her body count be when Goran finally locks her up or kills her? So, far she's at 18 (9 in Thailand, 2 in Australia, and 7 in New York).

Seriously, if Stabler can be tough with perps, why can't I kick my uncle's ass until my toenails are his teeth?

I have a strong feeling RVD will win at WrestleMania. Don't count that as a pick. Things can change drastically in a month.

By the way, no contests and draws (including double DQs and countouts) will be thrown out from my picks since there is no winner.

Hopefully, the Pistons can rebound from the West Coast trip. Last thing I want is the Mavericks and Spurs looking good.

Well, the Stanley Cup and Larry O'Brien Trophy will be back her in a month.

I call six teams from the Big Ten to be dancing, at least. Michigan, Michigan State, Ohio State, Iowa, Illinois and Wisconsin are gimmes. Indiana will need a strong Big Ten Tournament performance to play later this month.

I'm enjoying the World Baseball Classic. I wish the rest of America felt the same.

Evil, I promise tomorrow the chain story is ready. I just need Anna to give Sheridan pleasure she has never felt.

Later everybody. Time to see if the perp is convicted.
