Get to Know Mississippi State University
After seeing that the Huskies would be playing Mississippi State in the first round of the NCAA Tournament, our first thought was, Surprise! Who knew Mississippi was still a state? We just assumed that after the Civil War and Trent Lott, America would just kind of let the lease run out.
Lazy Politicians Let UW Huskies Down

Old Lusty Losing Its Grip?
The Lusty Lady is bold if nothing else; perched defiantly as a beacon of sleaze in the heart of downtown, eagerly eliciting disgust or curiosity from passing tourists. Every big city has at least one. Seattle’s two most prominent "Jerk Joints" (Déjà Vu being the sister) just happen to sit on both sides of the tourist sucking Pike Place Market. Joyfully unavoidable, the prudes have to stomach the godlessness for the brief hell they are in the vicinity.
WSU Cougars Celebrate Sweet 16
The Washington State Cougars shut down one of the most potent offenses in the Tourney and the Big East Player of the Year, Luke Harangody, to advance to the Sweet 16. This is the first time in more than 65 years that Wazzu has won two games in the NCAA Tournament--last time, they made it to the national championship game. Coach Tony Bennett motivated his players with a little pre-game reminder of what happened last year, the result: the Cougs dominated the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame from start to finish on Saturday, winning 61-41.

Gonzaga has an impressive resume of non-conference opponents, losing games to Wazzu, Oklahoma, Tennessee and Memphis (all by 10 points or less), and winning against Western Kentucky, Georgia, Saint Joseph's and UConn. What do these eight teams all have in common? They're all in the NCAA Tournament.

Northwest Teams Assigned Partners for Big Dance
The brackets are set for the men's NCAA Tournament--expect productivity at work to continue on a downward spiral as the week goes on. Carve out a couple hours in your schedule in the next three days to research and fill out your brackets for your office pool. Rick Neuheisel knows what we’re talking about. Or, you could select your winners based on mascots, school colors, or blind guessing. Those always seem to work for some lucky S.O.B. in the office pool.

No word on if he got the gig because he is a Hillary supporter (pleasing Editor Kim) and a Garfield alum (pleasing Seattlest David).
SI's Cover Goes to the Huskies
