The weekend is over, the Sweet 16 is set and this Tennessee fan finally/hopefully will be let back in the house after the Vols beat Mercer last night.
Leftover March Madness Items
Mercer's dance machine, Kevin Canevari, may be out of the tournament, but Iowa State coach Fred Hoiberg is ready to assume the throne ... A look at the cheer sheet Mercer distributed to its fans ... The Iowa State victory over North Carolina ended in bizarre and confusing circumstances ... Puddles, the Oregon Ducks mascot, lost an eye during the team's loss to Wisconsin ... Stanford upset Kansas but all anyone can talk about is the Cowbell Guy. Perhaps he was one of the Cardinal band members trying to sneak booze in a tuba ... San Diego State's Steve Fisher is all about sportsmanship ... Missouri poked fun at Kansas with this tweet ... Wichita State lost an epic game to Kentucky but Cleanothony Early will always have this highlight.
Chris Bosh Turns 30
Chris Bosh celebrated his 30th birthday with a Cirque du Noir-themed party at Marlins Park. Guests were served Chris Bosh branded burgers, Bones Thugs n Harmony performed and guests were given goodie bags that included a caramel apple, sunglasses and a special Bosh bow tie. So, basically, it was better than any event you or I have ever attended or will ever attend.

On this day in 1979, Michigan State junior Magic Johnson recorded a triple-double (29 points, 10 rebs, 10 assists) in the Spartans' Final Four victory over Penn. The team would beat Indiana State two days later for the national championship. Will the 2014 Spartans have the same success?
