Watercooler Chat: Finally only Four
It’s hard to believe that March is almost over, which as you know means March Madness is coming to an end. As of Monday night, April 2nd, we will have a national champion.
Here’s what you need to know going into this Final Four weekend:
Florida vs. UCLA
Florida won the tournament last year and will look to retain their title (something a team hasn’t done since 1992 when Duke won back to back).
Joakim Noah is the most visible player on this team. He has a mass of curly hair and can be very vocal (some say obnoxious) on and off the court. He’s the son of Yanik Noah, the famous tennis player, and Miss Sweden.
UCLA faced Florida last year in the Title Game (and lost) so look for them to try and avenge that disappointing game.
Arron Afflalo is having a great tournament and will be very visible on Saturday.
Ohio State vs. Georgetown
Ohio State hasn’t been to the Final Four in 39 years.
You can’t miss Greg Oden at 7 feet 280 pounds. And, if you can believe it (which I can't), he’s a freshman and only 19 years old. He looks like he’s at least 50!
Georgetown will have another big guy on the floor, Roy Hibbert who is 7 feet, 2inches and 278 pounds. Watching big boys, Hibbert vs. Oden should be a fun matchup. Also, look for Patrick Ewing (the famous former Knick Patrick Ewing) watching his son Patrick Ewing Jr. try and make a name for himself on the court
In other News…..
Did anyone see Peyton Manning last weekend on Saturday Night Live? One of the writers from the NY Post this weekend made fun of Peyton’s performance before the show even aired, so naturally I watched the monologue fully expecting a cringe-worthy performance. Boy, was I surprised. I have to say, it was one of the funniest SNL’s I’ve ever seen. Manning was brilliant. His timing was fantastic and I loved how he made fun of his squeaky clean image. I’ve seen the mock commercial for United Way 3 times now and each time is funnier than the last. Way to go Peyton!
By the way, I have UCLA winning the tournament so Go Bruins!!!

I missed SNL this week -- and I'm disappointed because I knew Peyton would be great. I think often the non-comedian/non-actors are better than their "pro" counterparts. I'll have to catch it in reruns. Thanks for the tip!
I heard Peyton was amazing on SNL!
I enjoyed Manning's performance on SNL - I am not surprised though because I do like his commercials.
