460. March Madness - Where's the Big Blue?

Briefly, my final four: Louisville, Purdue, Pittsburgh, and Syracuse.

How I arrived with these four I'll leave to your imagination at least for the moment. I know graduates of three of those four universities so I wish them all well. My alma mater, the Spalding University Fighting Pelicans, the pride of South Fourth Street, didn't make it through Selection Sunday.

On a different note, I also know graduates of Morehead State University, located about 135 miles due east of here just off I-64. The college is set in the side of a hill facing down upon East Main Street in downtown Morehead. At the top of the hill is University Lake, a dammed-up body of Evans Creek whose overflow emties into Triplett Creek, which creates the eastern edge of the little burg below the college.

If Morehead State, the Ohio Valley Conference champs, can beat Alabama State, this year's titleholder for the Southwestern Athletic Conference, in tomorrow night's game in Dayton, Ohio, they will advance to play the local favorites, Louisville.

So, for my friends from/for Morehead State, Go Eagles!
