Monday Night Championship

[keefe]

Michigan or Louisville? Vote!

[GGGG]

Going with Michigan.  But it really could go either way.  Really looking forward to it.

[Eldon]

Cards for sure.  They still have the Big East logo attached to their name, which helps our brand, albeit possibly a small boost, but a boost nonetheless.  Plus, I generally like Pitino.

[MarquetteDano]

Just hope if Michigan wins they do not have to vacate yet another final four.   

[Bocephys]

I don't give a damn for the whole state of Michigan.

[NotAnAlum]

You forgot the most important question.
Will MU be featured in any "one shinning moment" Scenes?  We certainly produced enough drama.

Kevin Ware is truly the only player who had one shinning moment.

I am all in on Michigan, and a bit surprised about the poll results.

Louisville is gutter trash, coached by a piece of dog crap, abortion paying mouth breather.  F Louisville, F Kentucky, F your POS football team and your move to the ACC, and good luck staying relevant.

Pitino is a great coach - top 10 in college basketball history.  I really don't care about the guy's personal life.

This joke deserved some recognition.

I go to the VA 3 days a week. The PTSD Clinic is adjacent to the Prosthetics Clinic. The halls are filled with young men who are trying out their new legs and arms. Some are being fitted with two new legs.

Kevin Ware's injury was painful. There are thousands of young men hidden from view whose wounds are tragic. I am certain Kevin Ware is a nice young man. But his moment dims to darkness in comparison.

[WayOfTheWarrior]

Kind of want the old Big East to go out with a championship over the Big Ten although Michigan is my favorite Big Ten team.

As it should be.

[Chicos' Buzz Scandal Countdown]

Like both teams - tie breaker for me is Jordan Morgan is a graduate of (my) UofD Jesuit high school. Go Cubs! Go Blue!

You are absolutely correct, Keefer.  But I was only making fun of a spelling mistake.

Don't get me wrong, Chick. I wasn't taking the piss out of you as I caught your pun. I was responding to the media circus Ware circle jerk. His injury was awful but it isn't nearly as bad as what it was made out to be. He'll be fine going forward.

I see young men at the VA who have never before shown fear sitting in a hallway in tears because they struggle with their new limbs and drastically altered life. I was in Diyala one minute then woke up in a hospital at Ramstein AB Germany. I felt sorry for myself until I walked around the ward and saw kids who had been mangled and deformed for life. Some you just knew would never wake up or leave that hospital alive. I made a mental note to remember that and never ever forget what I was feeling at that moment.

I worked about 2.5 years on the multi-trauma med-surg ward at Bethesda just before/during/after the Navy and Army hospital integration, and I had the honor and privilege of caring for our war-wounded men and women.  They're the main reason I became a Navy Nurse...I hated my nursing clinical rotations in the civilian hospitals.

As much as I love taking care of our Wounded Warriors, though, I'll gladly wipe old, obese butts the rest of my nursing career in exchange for our Marines, Sailors, Soldiers, and Airmen never getting hurt again...while serving, of course.  If you come into my glorified sick call of an Emergency Department for something dumb, I'm giving you some Vitamin M/Ranger Candy/Motrin and sending you home.

But yeah...getting back on track...While I did #PrayForWare, there are hundreds and thousands of our guys and girls coming back without any top Twitter trending hashtags...but that's okay...I just hope the American people don't need tweets or hashtags to remember and be thankful for their sacrifices.

Oh...and my bracket says Louisville (and I respect the hell out of them even if Ware hadn't gotten hurt), but a lot of my fellow Sailors are from Michigan...so Go Blue.  Between Marquette and the Navy, I have no shortage of blue and yellow gear.

[MU82]

The most obnoxious customer where I work is a crazy Michigan fan.

For that reason alone, I will root hard against the maize and blue.

I also picked Louisville before the tournament started (I know ... I'm not exactly the only one), so I'm sticking with the pick.

Lost a neighbor kid a few years ago in Iraq.  God bless the Blue Star and Gold Star moms.

[mubb34]

I am sick of all of my Wisconsin "friends" rub in how the Big 10 is by far the best conference...because they beat the Ville.....

C-A-R-D-S Cards!

Go Old Big East!

[tower912]

I had Louisville in my bracket.   Michigan is from the Big Teen.   What other reasons do I need?    Go, Cards!

[Sunbelt15]

National champion will not come from the B10! Big East is the best conference! Go L'Ville!!

[MURFC]

Only reason I voted Michigan was that if they win, I take 1st in my work bracket pool.  Otherwise, I would be all UL.
