Thanks, Dave!

I have a couple of "thanks Dave" items to take care of -- one is easy, one is not.

The easy one) Thanks Dave, for the kind words about how you enjoy reading RB's blog and that you find me descriptive. A little known fact -- bears are a very sensitive bunch. Sure, every now and then one of my cousins gets a couple of wires crossed and eats somebody, but for the most part we behave ourselves. Thanks for reading and I will continue to try to be descriptive.

The one that's not so easy) Thanks Dave Williams, for your service to UW-Parkside. Many of you know our former (that's the hard part) athletics director Dave Williams. Dave recently took the AD gig at Missouri Western and I wish him all the best. For my money, Dave did a great job here at Parkside and he will be missed. If you think it's easy trying to make 13 coaches happy -- think again. It's no picnic (I love picnics). Matt Mountin takes over as interim AD (hey, if he doesn't work out, with a name like Mountin he'll get work in pro wrestling). Just kiddin' ... Matt's a good guy and will do a great job.

On another subject ... do you know anybody that has all four teams in the NCAA Final Four? I do! I'll use her code name here, TPC got all four correct. I was out of the running Saturday when Bucky's team fell to Davidson (can those guys shoot the "3" or what?). I got a call from Bucky before the tourney started and he was feelin' pretty confident that his boys were gonna make the Final Four. Hey, you gotta support the UW System schools and most of you know that my buddy Luke Reigel played for and coached with Bo. Personally, I don't see anybody beating UNC -- they are tough. But I'm usually wrong so because I have gone out on a limb (yes, bears can climb trees) UNC probably goes down. I was torn between the Tar Heels and the Bruins (that bear thing). Actually, I don't see the Bruins getting by Memphis. Who do you guys think will finish on top?

OK, gotta get back to work -- yes I actually have things I do during the day: meetings, cheer strategies, I do a lot of posing to see how different moves really look...

See ya!
