Basketball

My family has basketball fever. We've all been following the NCAA tournaments, to varying degrees.  My youngest daughter doesn't much care... but.... she did sign up for summer basketball camp.  The middle daughter is pretty much obsessed with basketball. And my oldest daughter was right - yes, I'm going on the record as saying so - the team I picked to go all the way (Louisville) got spanked by Michigan. Which she said would happen. Needless to say, I *won't* be rooting for Michigan in the Final Four.  

... However ... I do have a prediction to make that concerns Louisville. My prediction is that, despite all his protests to the contrary, Rick Pitino will be accepting the head coach position at University of Arizona.  That's right.  Our beloved Lute Olson, that Arizona snatched from under our (Iowa's) very noses, will be replaced by Pitino. Despite my crushed dreams of Louisville going to the Final Four (okay, I just wanted to be right, really) Pitino will soon be coaching another one of my teams - the U of A Wildcats. Okay, the only reason I really like them is because of Lute, but now I have to remain loyal. Although... Lute can always come back to Iowa.  We'd welcome him with open arms.
