By my calculations, so far birds are 4 for 7 in the survive-and-advance food
web world of the NCAA men's basketball tourney.
Duke Blue Devils beat the University of North Carolina-Wilmington Seahawks.
L
Kansas Jayhawks beat the Austin Peay Governors. W
Iowa Hawkeyes beat the Temple Owls. W and L
Texas A&M Aggies beat the Green Bay Phoenix (OK, so its just a mythical bird
but....) L
St. Joseph's Eagles beat the Cincinnati Bearcats. W
Oregon Ducks beat the Holy Cross Crusaders W
Jayhawks (vs. the U of Connecticut Huskies) , Hawkeyes (vs. the Villanova
Wildcats), Ducks (vs. the St. Joseph's Eagles) and Eagles (vs. the Oregon
Ducks) continue to forage this weekend. These clashes will not be for the
light-hearted, and we should expect lots of feathers and bones on the court
games' end. I predict the Jayhawks and Ducks will prevail over their dog and
eagle foes. Will be surprised if the hawkeyes can beat a wild cat, even though
the game is being played indoors. Indoor cats don't kill nearly as many birds
as studies show outdoor cats do (an average of 33/year!). It the refs allow
bells on the necks of the Villanova players, maybe the Iowa birds have a
chance. We shall see.
On the women's side, so far it's birds 2 out of 3.
Louisville Cardinals pecked the Central Arkansas Bears. W
Tennesse Lady Vols extinguished the U of Wisconsin-Green Bay Phoenix. L
South Carolina Gamecocks (hens?) surprisingly halixed the Jacksonville Jaguars.
W
The Cardinals and Gamehens would seem to be underwomaned in their upcoming
games against the (DePaul) Blue Demons and (Kansas State) Wildcats,
respectively, but I've learned from studying nests, never underestimate the
tenacity and will of female birds.
