Final Four

Well, it definitely looks like our talent of picking football games does not carry over to basketball picks.  To recap our picks, the Toes n Tails gang confidently jumped on the bandwagon of Kansas and picked the Jayhawks to win the NCAA tournament.  Sadly (for Kansas fans), the Jayhawks were eliminated early by Northern Iowa and knocked the Toes n Tails game out of the race early.

However, the NCAA tourney did shed some light on the Butler Bulldogs, which quickly became the fav team of our dog pack.  Even better, as the team's starters are introduced before the game, each starter rubs the head of the bulldog for good luck.  We are definitely Butler fans from here on out!

During the game, the dog pack was hoping for a 'Hoosiers' type of ending, where the heavy underdog (Butler, in this case) pulls out the win at the buzzer.  The game was heavily contested from the opening tipoff and as the final seconds ticked down, the storybook ending appears to be unfolding before our eyes in black and white (we're color blind, so we can't see specific colors of course).  After a missed free throw by Duke, the Butler player dribbled down the court and threw up a prayer at the buzzer....which hit the glass, the rim, and then bounced to the floor.  Game over and the bulldog goes home without the title.

For a second, we we're pretty down about the Butler loss.  Then our owner asked us if we wanted to go out and we totally forgot about the game (although, we did not forget to make a beeline to the treat jar after we came back in from our potty break....priorities people, priorities).
