So last night here I was in San Francisco looking for a sports bar so I could watch the Tar Heels dispatch Michigan State. I am not a guy with sports-bar-radar, so I had to ask <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/pjones\/sfo05\/cheryl.jpg\">Cheryl<\/a> to look for one on her way to Union Square.<br \/>\nAs someone who thinks about sports bars might expect, we found one in the Marriott. It was like Cheers, but with uglier people. But then a life is a lot like Cheers, but with uglier people. Part of the ugliness of these people was that many of them were in dark green and were cheering at the wrong times.<br \/>\nThe crowd changed at the second half though. The greens got much quieter. And the room looked much prettier even for a sports bar where prettiness is not anything like the object.<br \/>\nNothing like a 87 -71 final four victory to brighten up the night.<br \/>\nI&#8217;m off today for <a href=\"http:\/\/ibiblio.org\/pjones\/wordpress\/index.php?p=420\">medal gettin and medal wearin<\/a>. Luckily the final game against Illinois isn&#8217;t til Monday night at 9:20. My plane puts me back in RDU at 8:30.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Except for careful observervation of games that give us Bojangles specials, I usually don&#8217;t do sports reporting.
