NCAA Tourament field is set, WatchDog basement is wet

What do I think about Cornell's No. 12 seed?

Thanks for asking. I think it's a slap in the face.

The only good part is that the Big Red's first-ever NCAA victory now will come against a former Penn coach - Temple's Fran Dunphy.

I am deeply sorry about the slow pace of blogging today. And I apologize in advance for a slow week ahead.

Two things will keep me out of the basement this week: newspaper commitments and a desire not to get electrocuted by mixing modern electronic devices with a soggy rug covering 58-year-old, asbestos-filled floor tiles.

Enjoy filling out your brackets, everyone. Beware the 12 seeds, as always.
