Reason #3 why I love college: College Basketball!
I spent 12 hours in line and went without sleep for almost 30 hours in order to get some of the best seats in the house for the Louisville game today. Me and my friends got in line about midnight, and I brought my laptop to watch some Family Guy and Ghostbusters while we waited. It was pretty cold, got down to 45 I think, but I had on a thick sweatshirt, a huge winter jacket, and a blanket, so I managed to stay pretty warm. Most of the about 250 people out there with us slept, but I just can't seem to fall asleep while in line, so I stayed up the entire night. We got some free hot chocolate, water, and McDonalds in the morning from the athletic department, and when we got in they handed out free tshirts. I also got to have my picture taken with Dick Vitale, who is my favorite (and one of the most famous) college basketball announcers for ESPN.
The game was awesome as usual, and we played really well except for the 3-pointers. We had an abysmal 3 point percentage, while Louisville kept sinking them (18% versus 43%), and that's why we ended up losing in the end. So it goes. That was are last challenging game until SEC play starts up in the spring.

Google's got another new search, Google Scholar that searches research papers and theses. Want to find out how to make your computer "psychic" to predict the future? I'm currently doing a project on that very idea.
