What a weekend! Temperatures in the 80s!

Washington State 70, Oral Roberts 54: Oral Roberts was the trendy upset pick--nearly 25% of ESPN users expected Wazzu to Coug it (by comparison, less than 5% had #3-seed Oregon losing)--but our faith in Wazzu didn't waver. Though it was close at halftime, we predicted that Wazzu would play their typical strangling defense to open the second half, and they proved us right, holding O-Rob to one field goal in the first six minutes of period two. The Cougs won going away. Wazzu continued their terrific offensive efficiency, committing only six (!) turnovers. Only Bobby Knight's Texas Tech Red Raiders committed as few on the tourney's first day, which should give you some insight into how good a coach Tony Bennett is.

On the second day of this millennium, (technically, the 1999 NFL season) the Seahawks needed the Raiders to beat the Chiefs to make the playoffs. And the Raiders did--their kicker, Joe Nedney, knocked in a 33-yard field goal in overtime to knock the Chiefs out of the playoffs.

Gothamist posts on the capture of a NYC perv thanks to Little Brother and a camera phone. They also scour the city for vodka martinis and Shamrock shakes and spot the friend from the Wonder Years at a city law firm. New York police think that Littlejohn is their man.

Already riding the Hawks bandwagon? We'll give you two weeks of in-depth *football* coverage to impress your friends on game day. Note: that's *football* coverage, not coverage of which player's dad has an incurable disease or of Tim McGraw's game prediction.

As our roommate put it: "How old was I the last time the Seahawks won a playoff game? 28!" After Sunday's dramatic 20-10 win over Washington, the team's first playoff victory since 1984, the Seattle Seahawks (or "Shithawks" as they are known in other cities) will host the NFC Championship game next Sunday against the Carolina Panthers. The winner goes to the Super Bowl.

There's not much to say about last night's Seahawks game. The score (42-0) says it all. So, unlike the P-I's Jim Moore, we will not bore you with hackneyed, purposeless bellyaching.

Tonight at El Corazon, ten lousy bucks gets you forty kickass years of Northwest rock 'n' roll. That's, like, two bits per year.
