Around SBN: Indy 500: 'Greatest Spectacle In Racing' Set For Sunday

Quick Hits: Magazine Profiles, First Pitches, and Cash

*Texas football coach Mack Brown joined President Bush in one of the great honors of spring: throwing out a first pitch. While Bush was in Cincinnati kicking off their season, Mack headed to Arlington to throw out the first pitch of the Rangers-Red Sox season opener. Roger Clemens was in attendance.

*We're not the only ones that are obsessing over Cat Osterman. According to this Johnny Damon profile in New York magazine, the Yankeese spent an afternoon oogling over the Lady Horns practice in southern California this Spring. Cat-obsessing is headed to the mainstream. This can only be a good thing.

*Strength coach Mad Dog Madden got a nice profile about him in American Football Monthly magazine.

*And finally, congratulations to Rick Barnes. He got a raise. It's well deserved. The program is in great shape.

In other news...
CNN's "Situation Room" is tracking a truly, heart-warming story out of Dallas where 54b, an idiot savant overcame the odds to crush a field of basketball experts (who are purportedly never wrong) and win the first annual "NCAA BON Bracket Challenge."

When you consider the fact that simply filling out the bracket was deemed a small victory for 54b, to actually win it all while fighting a recurring case of Athlete's Foot, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, A.D.D. and societal prejudices, it's nothing short of miraculous. Pundits are already predicting the "54b BON Bracket Triumph" will push the Jason McElwain 3-pointer barrage for feel-good story of the year.

We caught up to 54b at his mail box where he told reporters he was waiting for a very special t-shirt to arrive. Here's hoping that shirt comes in a XXL. Otherwise, this happy ending could turn tragic and fast.

54,
Your dreams of a BON shirt will need to continue for now. I largest on hand is XL. Do you want to even try that? If so, send me your address and I'll glady mail you one. Otherwise, you may have to wait for the second printing. Sorry and congratulations.

That's okay
I was going to sell it on ebay anyway, and put the money towards my "Jordan Shipley All-America Spring Training" billboard.
