PFW - Week 19: Otherwise Distracted

March Madness has begun so I didn't have much time to look at the feeders, but overall the count was decent.

• Mourning Dove 2
• Carolina Chickadee 1
• Northern Mockingbird 1
• European Starling 10
• Dark-eyed Junco 2
• Northern Cardinal 2
• House Finch 4 (0 with eye disease)
• House Sparrow 4

Now onto the most exciting news: my Louisville Cardinals were selected as the overall number 1 seed in the NCAA tournament after winning the Big East Conference outright, and outlasting a very tough Syracuse team to win the Big East Conference tournament last night. My hat's off to Syracuse that hung through six overtimes Thursday night to oust a great UConn team.

"Sadly" the Big Blue Nation is calling for Billy Gillispie's head as the University of Kentucky missed the tournament for the first time in 17 years! I shouldn't be so gleeful, but UofK fans get under my skin with their "little brother" comments toward Louisville. It is a great rivalry so I expect attitude and just ignore it as much as I can. And this year it is so much easier!

Up next:  the Women's field is set tomorrow night.  Will the Louisville Lady Cards get a #1 seed as well?  A #2 seed would be good.

Go Cards!
