THERE'S Your Cinderella Team

After finishing a 27-page-paper last night which was part of a major-mondo project, I think... I might ACTUALLY have free time tonight.

What's THAT like?

Just got off the phone with a friend who makes a job out of following college sports. No, but really, that's his job. (Shout out to Drew.) I tried to impress him with my knowledge of March Madness.

"UW got the number 4 seed, heeeey."
"Yeah, I had them do pretty well in my bracket."
"Only PRETTY well?"
"I had them lose to U-Conn."
"Yukon? The Yukon plays in the NCAA tournament?"
"Yeah, they've got a good team."
"Yukon CANADA has a really good basketball team??"
(Long pause.)
"University of Connecticut... They go by U-Conn."
"OOOOOHHHH. I thought you meant the Y one."
"Yeah, no."
"And I thought, 'I thought the NCAA tournament was only for UNITED STATES'ers!"

So much for tossing my hair and being savvy-sports-trivia-queen. "The Yukon Yaks... have taken it all the way this year!!"
