NCAA Tournament Matters

2007-03-17T10:23:00.000-07:00

Now that we're into the second round of the tournament, it looks like it's going to be "favorites" year. There weren't too many upsets in the first round and those that were seed-wise, weren't really big surprises.
I picked UNC to win it all, but now I'm a bit nervous considering how impressive some of those first round winners were.

Why the Cafe

2007-03-17T10:02:00.000-07:00

This blog is named "Cafe" because it's a place where a little bit about most anything can be mulled over here.
The creator of this blog likes it that way because he knows very little about a lot of things! It's kind of like a cafe because you can sample a little bit of this and a little bit of that.
We can discuss sports, politics, education, the weather or your favorite beer or wine. Food is also a favorite topic of mine!
