Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls, Children of all ages..........the bus that is March Madness just took a slight detour for a quick stop at instant awesome on the way to the Final Four. There were some big games Saturday, and we'll get to that, right after we pay homage to the greatest spectacle in entertainment - Wrestlemania - which invaded Silicon Valley Sunday night for its 31st installment. For all of you who understand the virtues of the WWE and the inspiration that simply oozes from the most electrifying man in sports entertainment, sit back and enjoy:
And not lost in all the madness here is the unparalleled inspiration for all of our young impressionable daughters out there who have to look no further than the duo that is Stephanie McMahon and Ronda Rousey. I'll be moving this instant classic to the top of the DVR queue so my four daughters can't miss it. I will say this though, I do miss getting together with friends and watching the Rock lay the smackdown on some Rudy Pooh Jabronis on RAW. Speaking of The Rock, check out this sack on Heisman Trophy winner Charlie Ward back in the day: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oINkMsJ068o
Now let's get that bus back on the road to Indianapolis. But before we do, can we make a quick stop in Las Vegas so everyone can throw down on whichever team I am cheering against? You will all make a quick buck and you can all thank me for it. I had Arizona as my tournament winner. I had Notre Dame upsetting Kentucky (and even though Calipari said his team played horrible, it was Notre Dame who controlled the entire game until the final two possessions - sometimes you just gotta recognize coach).
And I'm originally from the great state of Washington so of course I was pulling for Gonzaga and Louisville (Pitino recruits the Pacific Northwest very hard. Peyton Siva (Seattle, Franklin HS) got him to two Final Fours and his 2013 NCAA title; Terrence Williams (Seattle, Rainier Beach) was their key cog from '05-'09, and their top recruit and 6th man this year is Shaqquan Aaron from Seattle).
They all lost, and now we have what many are dubbing an epic Final Four - Kentucky, Duke, Michigan State, and Wisconsin coached by Calipari, Krzyzewski, Izzo, and Ryan. I think the world at large prefers a Cinderella or two, but it is what it is and whoever wins will add another notch into their Hall of Fame belt.
This Final Four did get me thinking about other epic foursomes and who they might be mostly aligned with:

- The Fantastic Four - Mr. Fantastic, the Invisible Woman, the Human Torch, the Thing
- The Ghostbusters - Spengler, Venkman, Ray, & Winston
- Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - Donatello, Rafael, Michelangelo, & Leonardo
- The Beatles: McCartney, Lennon, Harrison, & Ringo
- Wizard of Oz - Dorothy, Tin Man, Cowardly Lion, & Scarecrow
As enticing as all of those are, I'm likening the Final four to the new-look One Direction. They have all the fame, clout, and star power of Liam, Harry, Niall, and Louis, but they're just not the same without Zayn who upset the balance of the free world this week and departed the band. Rumor has it, Zayn will be performing under the stage name Cinderella when he tours the US in March next year since he has plenty of time now.

And get ready to place your bets people because I'm now cheering for Wisconsin and Sam Decker. On Wisconsin!
