Yes, it was pretty sweet when John McCain finally made up for the historic miscarriage of justice in 2000 by winning the S.C. primary this time, and
going on to win the nomination (presumptively speaking).
But hey, that was only 8 years.
We Memphis State fans (for so the school was called when Fred Thompson and I were there) have waited 35 years to make up for the heartbreaking NCAA final of 1973, when Wooden and Walton and company did in Larrys Finch and Kenon and the rest of the Tigers.
Minutes ago, Memphis moved on to the final by defeating, yes, UCLA!
Sweet.

The first title game I ever saw on TV, as a 12 year old. Walton’s 21-of-22 that day is still the greatest individual championship game performance ever.
…which reminds me, Brad, your math is wrong. It’s been 35 years since that game.
Yep, I was just driving in to work, and heard something about the NCAA on the radio, and thought …”WHAT did I type?!?”
Fixed it now. Thanks.
Now that Memphis lost how does that loss feel when you lose the big one? That is the way people who smoke felt when the morons on the Supreme Court decided the unconstitutional smoking bans were o.k. We had hoped the high court would bring some sanity to the selfish, intolerate mob instead they joined them.
