Monday, March 27, 2023 – Getting to Know You or Who Are The Final Four?

All sing now …

Getting to know you; getting to know all about you,

Getting to like you and hope you like Houston or Dallas.

I doubt seriously that the Houston hospitality groups were expecting Miami, UConn, San Diego State, and Florida Atlantic to arrive in H-Town for The Big Basketball Bounce. Three teams are first time Final Four participants. Only UConn has been going dancing on the Big Stage. Florida Atlantic University, a directional school was founded in 1961. A directional school. A state-supported university in the United States whose name includes a compass direction, e.g. “North state name State University.” Many directional universities started out as teachers’ colleges, broadening their educational missions in the 1950’s or 1960’s. In most instances a directional university has easier admissions standards than its state’s flagship university (“The University of state name”) and serves a greater proportion of commuter/part-time/older students.

For example:The University of North Texas or known by THE University of Texas – The Regional University of Texas or RUNT. Or The Stephen Fuller Austin University of Texas of East Texas.

California does not have directional universities. As an equivalent, it has universities with the word “State” in their names.

Given the large fan base in Texas and surrounding areas of these four finalists, I hope Section 106 at NGR Stadium in Houston does not sell out. I think section seating is about 100 to 150 seats.

On to the women’s bracket. Two of the four teams in the women’s Final Four have been decided. Tonight, the other two teams will be decided between undefeated South Carolina and Maryland and Ohio State and Virginia Tech. I do hope Virginia Tech wins because I want to write “You put your right foot in; you take your right foot out; you put your right foot in and you shake it all about; you do the Hokie Pokey and turn yourself around. That’s what it’s all about.

Booking hotel rooms in Dallas are Iowa and Louisiana State University. It is rumored that a truck is already on its way from Baton Rouge carrying Coach Mulkey’s wardrobe options for the possible two game tourney. Come on, Kim. That flamingo outfit looked like you robbed Elton’s John’s closet.

That is ugly even for Gaudshaux’s in Louisiana. You need to ensure that it is ok to dress in drag in the city where you are playing. Please check for Dallas – the bible belt buckle area for fundamental rules and regulations regarding the wearing of feathers.

Since social media went crazy over the outfit, I see you toned it down for the next game. This time it only looks like you robbed Liberace of a pajama top.

And what is it with those white pants.? It’s not Easter yet and you are from the South. Notice the fellow with the man bun top knot with no socks? I bet the sell socks at Gaudshaux’s.

Dallas did luck out with LSU making the finals. I’m sure there will be buses running up Interstate 35 from Waco to Dallas, filled with Kimmetts. Maybe there will be rubber bracelets with WWKW? What Will Kim Wear?

Here is what I’m thinking. There is only one problem standing between LSU and the championship game. Her name is Kaitlin Clark from Iowa. The Iowa Hawkeyes could bring a good showing in attendance in Dallas. It is not corn gathering or shucking season.

Keep on dribbling.
