Twas a sad sad day in basketball yesterday, as my two favorite teams in the
tourny both were defeated in upsets. The #5 Gators lost to #12
Creighton 83-82. They won on a last second 3-pointer in double overtime. I
didnt' even get to watch much of the game, since I had classes. However
inbetween one of them, I decided to go to the comptuer lab to see how much we
won by. Instead I see we're in double overtime with a minute thirty left. So I
"watched" the last minute and a half by continously refreshing ESPN.com for the latest score. Had quite a crowd too
looking over my shoulder, and there was a loud sigh as the last refresh showed
we lost by a measely one point. And I had such great hopes for the UF basketball
team....
In the other upset, #6 Texas Tech lost to #11
Southren Illinois. Both my parents and one of my best friend's went/go to Texas
Tech, and I also had hoped they would advance far with Bobby Knight. But I guess
not anymore. Here's hoping for next year.
Business 2.0 released their 101 Dumbest
Moments in Business for 2002. Enron is featured in many of the moments,
along with a few tech companies and even the now defunct XFL. For as dumb as
some businesses are, they can still make an awful lot of money.
A new record holder for the most distant object in space from us has been set.
It's a galaxy
14 billion light years away. It also has given astronomers a glimpse into
early formation of galaxies, as they estimate this particular one to only be 750
million years old. Space is a wonderful thing.
