The 2006 Omnibet Newswire, by Dean    updated!

Fri., April 7th

  • No one in America is as excited as me about this weekend's NCAA ice hockey championships. Literally, no one. Last month's bracket face-offs were fierce, and upsets as plentiful as bloodied faces. Once the smoke's cleared, and the Zamboni machine drivers returned home to their unloving wives, only four teams remained. Ladies and gentlemen, your 2006 NCAA Frozen Four: the Wisconsin Badgers; the Maine Black Bears; the Boston [Mass.] College Eagles (who, p.s., really shot Will in the foot with their unlikely upset of the Terriers); and my precious Sioux of North Dakota -- who positively scalped fan-favorite Holy Cross [Mass.] (a.k.a., the mighty Golden Gopher slayers).  Go N.D.!!!!!
                        

 

Wed., April 5th

  • NCAA championship weekend was about as exciting as an insurance commercial. Or more precisely, a long series of insurance commercials, punctuated by occasional appearances by two jackasses singing about TGI Friday's to the tune of "Gilligan's Island." In short, I stabbed my ears and eyes out and went to sleep. Good news is, Florida thumped UCLA, 73-57; and thusly the first Omnibet showdown of '06 was, shall we say, a slam dunk.

  • So. One point down, nine to go. Next stop: Saturday night in cheeseville. Rah North Dakota! Sioux the pants off the bastards. 

  

Mon., March 27th

  • In Sunday's March Madness action, stunning upsets by Florida and especially George Mason [Virginia] left Will with only one team standing -- UCLA.  Don't count him out yet, though. With all four #1 seeds out of the tourney, Will's Bruins (2) are the highest ranked team remaining. UCLA faces LSU (4) next Saturday, in a game with critical O.B. implications. Who would you root for? The snobby kids from Beverly Hills 90210, or the downtrodden but nonetheless spirited lil' troopers from the hurricane-ravaged bayou? Don't be a racist like Will. Go Tigers!!
