And if Texas doesn't become the national champion, a local car dealer
will *not* give one lucky customer $1 million. :D (It's a Ford dealer,
I think Leif Johnson Ford, but not positive on that. They've had ads
about this running since basketball season started.)
I'm pretty excited about the basketball, but I'm not having anywhere
near as much time to watch as I did last year. Trying to stay on top of
it as best I can, though. (But just in case, anyone want to let me know
when Texas and Texas Tech get eliminated? Those are the teams I care
most about right this minute.)
