Nationwide is on your side

What a strange title.

Anyway a child in Hartford this morning greeted me with a hand shake and said "Nationwide is on your side" which is from the Nationwide car insurance commercial. He said this all day, even when he was playing BINGO.

I'm interested to see if the BIG EAST has any reaction to it's teams struggling in the NCAA Tournament. Maybe the BIG EAST Tournament is too long, maybe the regular season is too much of a grind. I say change nothing, but usually there are complainers when only one of the eight teams makes the Elite Eight.

I guess I like the NFL's new overtime rule. I'm so used to the old rule that it wouldn't bother me if it was still in place. This new overtime rule seems fair.

I'm sad that Franklin Pierce was bounced in the Final Four last night in women's basketball. I watched the game on ESPNU and it just wasn't there best performance. Cynthia Gaudet played really well for the Ravens.

I'm saddened by the news that a Florida International Football Player was stabbed to death on campus. This certainly brings back painful memories and I cannot understand how something so terrible could be repeated again, somewhere else.
