Misfits?

I suppose I should be Tiger Reflex Blue today following the announcement of the NCAA tournament brackets. That number two seed is fine, I was just hoping for that #1 like last year. So we're a Thursday/Saturday team. Guess the Tourney Committee either felt that the Tigers incredible national record-setting season somehow was a misfit for #1...or they were paid off. ;-/ Hope we can run the table, so to speak.

If you follow other area teams, I heard MS St is in. Also representing my state will be Chattanooga (UTC?), East TN St U, and UTK. I think last year we had five from TN last year.

Speaking of "misfits," here's a cute poem by Ann Luna (from her book, You've Gotta Be Kidding!) that I hope will bring a smile:

Heaven's Misfits

I dreamed I went to heaven,

And I was quite surprised

To see just who had made it to

That home up in the sky:

The ragged, dirty drifter,

The kid who rarely spoke,

The loudmouthed woman down the street--

Was this some kind of joke?

Then I noticed they were staring

Right at me. They made it clear

That all of them were thinking,

"What are you doing here?"

When the roll's called up yonder, I'll be there. Look for me: I'll be huddled with the other Tigers. :-) I'll be looking for you!
