Bill's Notes

[Industrialblog, March 28, 2004]
Jesuit Hawks
Even though I went to a plain-old diocesan college, I still was pulling for the fancy-schmancy Jesuits of St. Joseph's. Last night, the Hawks fell just short of the Final Four, losing to Oklahoma State in a squeaker. St. Joe's finished 30-2, with the only other loss coming the hand of fellow Jesuit institution Xavier (Ohio).

I guess St. Ignatius didn't have a miracle for Hawks last night. Or you could argue that the miracle was their existence. Or you could argue that the miracle is our existence, and the existence of the cosmos. But that's a little too big picture for this little blog.

In any case, congratulations to the Hawks. Here's hoping the fans give them a big welcome today when the team returns to campus.

Bill,

I finally get interested in the tournament only to have both Xavier and St. Joe lose! Xavier to Duke no less. Then I see I missed the giant wandering flame troll. Ugh. Crappy luck all around. May be next time.

Both Jesuit schools lost heartbreakers, too. Looks like another big-school final. My guess is UConn will win. You go to a Jesuit school?

It was a lot of fun Friday with the trolls...but they'll be back one of these days.

I just was pulling for them. They were the only compelling teams left, except may be for Georgia Tech. I've actually saw Xavier play a couple of times a long time ago too. UConn has looked so dominant, but I really don't follow basketball.
