I must come clean. I am heading on the road with Central with clean clothes that will last only until Friday. My educated guess is that the reporters covering Ohio State packed enough gear to last until Sunday. So does that mean I am off the Central bandwagon that swept me off my feet last week? No. But I am a realist and who needs clean clothes if Central wins anyway. I will gladly walk around feeling a little grimy after what would go down as the biggest upset in tournament history. Heck, I might just wear a Javier Mojica jersey if the Blue Devils win. Of course a number 16 seed has never knocked off a one seed in the Big Dance. But if Cinderella Central pulls it off, I will deal with dirty socks. After all, the airline will probably lose my bags anyway. There's a better chance of that than a Central win. But we all remember the Miracle on Ice and we've all seen "Hoosiers". Anything is possible.

Lastly, I will miss my wife and kids this week as I always do. Brynn, don't be sad. I will be home Friday. And if I'm not, blame on the Central basketball team because they will have just pulled off one of the greatest upsets in sports history.
