And when I feel the skies will never clear
You remind me spring is near...

Holy Fuck. We won.

The University of Vermont men's basketball team pulled off one of the biggest upsets of the 2005 NCAA Tournament and the biggest upset in Catamount history with a 60-57 overtime win over fourth-seeded Syracuse in the first round of the tournament Friday night. [more]

And what a fucking awesome game that was! Did anybody else catch it? I'm home with my family for the weekend -- in ever-happenin' Rutland, a.k.a. RutVegas -- and I was on the edge of my seat, watching with my dad, grandmother, and aunt, all of us drinking Midori Melon Balls. It was fab.

Hey Sports Fans! (There's got to be at least one of you out there.)

Today is a big day for my alma matter. Our little ol' basketball team -- the "Hoop Cats," if you will -- takes to the court, and to the television, for a very big game. I wasn't lucky enough to get tickets, but I will be watching from the comfort of my living room.

After impressive quarterfinal and semifinal wins, the two-time defending America East Champion Vermont Catamounts (23-6) take on the second-seeded Northeastern Huskies (21-8) in the 2005 America East Championship title game. This is Vermont's third straight trip to the conference championship game, its fourth overall and the second time in as many years that it has hosted the title game at Patrick Gym. The winner earns an automatic bid to the NCAA Men's Basketball Championship. More.

11:30 today on ESPN.

(And we are, and always will be, UVM, people -- not Vermont, like Athletics pretends we are, or like they always call us on TV.)

UPDATE: UVM kicked Northeastern's ass.
