**********

Armadillo: Wednesday's List of 13: Mid-week musings.........

13) There was thing on TV in Raleigh, NC this week, that an NC State student who finished last in his fantasy football league had to spend 30 consecutive hours in a Waffle House as punishment for his dismal season. His friends came by to visit, he had some school books to study (architecture) but he was there for 30 freakin' hours.

Waffle Houses are smaller, cheesier versions of Denny's; in other words, they're great.

12) HBO started a 5-part reality show this week on Gonzaga's basketball team; lot of practice stuff, road trips, stuff like that. First episiode was pretty good, but coach Mark Few is a calm guy, so the entertainment factor won't be as high as if you had a wacko in charge of the program, where outbursts would make for good TV.

11) Speaking of Gonzaga, since 1999 they are 14-3 in first round of NCAAs, 5-9 in second round, 1-4 in regional semis, 0-1 in regional finals.

10) Over the last 10 years, Florida Gators were 25-5 in NCAA tournament under coach Billy Donovan, who is now in the NBA. Weirdly, they missed the tourney in three seasons, but made the Elite 8 in six of the other seven.

9) UConn is another team with an odd resume; in their last five NCAA tourneys, they lost in first round twice, made Final Four other three times, winning two titles, in 2011 and 2014, under two different coaches.

8) Roger Goodell made $34M in 2014; its good to be the commish of America's most popular sport. Trivia you may already know: when Robert Kennedy was assassinated in June of 1968, Goodell's father took RFK's Senate seat. He didn't make $34M.

7) Since 1998, Duke is 15-3 in first round of NCAA tournament, 14-1 in the second round, only 7-7 in regional semis, 5-2 in regional finals, 4-1 in nationl semis, 3-1 in title tilts. So you want to play Duke in the first game of the second weekend.

6) Speaking of Duke, when they beat Virginia 63-62 the other day, lot of people were complaining because Grayson Allen walked on his last shot, but he also was fouled and I am no Duke fan. If the whistle was going to be blown on that play, they were going to call the foul before they called a walk. Especially in Durham.

5) If you're planning your summer already: Packers-Colts is first NFL exhibition game, August 7 in Canton, Ohio. SEC already released its schedule for football media days-- July 14 is our guy Les Miles' turn at the podium.

4) LSU's basketball team scored 81.8 ppg in four games since a 77-75 home loss to Oklahoma, when Ben Simmons took criticism for not demanding the ball late in that close game. Kid is a freshman in college, he isn't a jerk and he takes heat for not being selfish; thats the America we live in now.

Simmons was 6-7 from the floor vs Oklahoma; in four games since, he is 28-49, an average of 12.3 shots per game, so the coach is making sure he gets more shots.

3) Kentucky is 22-4 in its last 26 NCAA tourney games; they made the Final Four the last four times they were in the tournament- they missed in 2013. .

2) Good news for BYU's football team: QB Taysom Hill will be back for his last season in the fall. he hurt his foot in the first game LY and missed rest of the season.

1) Kansas was pick 'em when they lost to Wichita State in second round of NCAAs last March; they were the first #2 seed since 1992 that wasn't favored in its second round game-- USC was a 1-point dog to Georgia Tech back in '92. . Kansas is just 4-3 in its last three NCAA tournaments.
