I forgot to post this last evening so I wanted to get it up on the blog today. Below is a link to a clip from Indianapolis' WTHR, NBC Channel 13 coverage of the Butler viewing parties around town yesterday.
Before the viewing parties got started, Cat, Matt and Korey from Channel 13 came by the office to get some footage of me. I was pretty wound up at the time having just come from greeting Butler's newest Bulldogs at an Office of Admission Early Registration.
When Cat asked me who I thought was going to win that day's game between Butler and S. Alabama, I figured that I would just let my actions do the talking. Message sent.
Check it out: http://www.wthr.com/global/video/flash/popupplayer.asp?ClipID1=2312907&h1=Butler%20fans&vt1=v&at1=News&d1=130134&LaunchPageAdTag=Homepage&activePane=info&rnd=19110816
We captured our 30th win yesterday which is a new school record. I want more...even if it takes eating a whole camera this time!
Go Dawgs, Beat Vols!

Next Up...Smokey
Congratulations to the Butler men's basketball team and their 81-61 victory over South Alabama today in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. "Pickums" results hold true yet again.
Next up...Smokey and the Tennessee Volunteers on Sunday afternoon. I took Smokey down once last season in the pre-season NIT at New York's Madison Square Gargden. I'm looking to go 2-0 on the old hound.

Game time is 2:30 p.m. (EST) on Easter Sunday. I'm already excited!
In addition to my video profile that was created by Kelly Wilkinson on IndyStar.com's multimedia section which can be found here: http://gannett.a.mms.mavenapps.net/mms/rt/1/site/gannett-indianapolis-532-pub01-live/current/launch.html?maven_playerId=immersiveplayer&maven_referralPlaylistId=playlist&maven_referralObject=689727112
Kelly also put up an album of still photos that she took while she was shooting that video. You can see those here: http://www.indystar.com/apps/pbcs.dll/section?Category=MULTIMEDIA
Look for the album titled, "It's a dog's life...Butler Blue II."
I hope everyone has a safe and happy Easter that includes a Butler victory!

Pickums!
Last season, my dad and Uncle Kyle always had me play a game that they called, "Blue's Pickums." The idea is simple, on game day, Uncle Kyle writes "Butler" on one sheet of paper, and Butler's opponent on another. He then folds them up, places a treat on each one, and has me walk over and select one.
The team written on the paper I select will be the winner of that day's game.
Like I said, last season, we played this game all of the time, but for whatever reason, we have yet to play "pickums" this year. I guess Uncle Kyle felt like today was a good day to try (Butler plays South Alabama in the first round of the NCAA Tournament) it again so we set it up and I did my thing.
Check out the video to see the verdict:

I can't remember a time that I didn't pick Butler, and we've probably played this game a dozen times. It just never fails, and yes, every time I've played this game and selected Butler, they've won, so my record is on the line.
