Headache, Hearing Loss in One Ear and Everything is Okay

I watched the game last night at Shoeless Joe's Sports Bar, which is connected to the Crowne Plaza here in FM.  I noted on the Butler Alum website that this was the "official" location of the Butler Alums gathering and I tell you, that place was CRAZY busy. 

I got there early, around 8, just in case it was going to get busy.  I was glad I did, as I was able to order my beer and pizza in peace and just enjoy the pre-game shows.  There weren't an overwhelming number of Butler alums there, but the crowd was all Butler all the time. 

I ended up spending the second half with Aaron and Christy of Carmel, and their son Adam.  Christy is a Butler alum ('85, I think, pharmacy) and we ended up shouting, stomping and enjoying the game together.  It was incredible. 

I'm sorry Butler lost ... but so proud of their play.  They did it the Butler Way.

Now I need to take another couple of aspirin and hope that the ringing in my left ear ends soon.  Aaron sure had a set of lungs on him.

OMG BUTLER!!!!!!

Cannot Even Fathom That Butler Is Playing For The National Championship!!!

At HOME!

Generally I don't miss Indy but today, TODAY, I do.

Go Dawgs!  Make me proud!

Do it the Butler Way!

if you are easily offended, please read another post. Thank you.

Alrighty then.

If I would have known the fucking Butler was going to get from the officials today I would have suggested a good lube-ing pre-game and at halftime. Tennessee's players all but gang raped them in the paint and had more hands than a horny guy on prom night. For two of Butler's players to foul out while Tennessee had no one foul out is laughable at best and downright insulting in the least.

Butler played a consistent game, although they had some persistence issues which ended up costing them the game. These include minimal rebounding and missing free throws. If either of these had been corrected, perhaps the game would have been different. Although with the officiating as it was, I am sure that Butler would have had to rebound from the other goal or shoot free throws from somewhere out in the parking lot for these officials to have accepted it.

As for Tennessee ... fuck them.
