We’re bracing for the worst — and the worst has already happened once. The RandBall Better Half tells us there is major flooding in St. Louis right now, which is where we’re heading in, oh, about two hours. Regular readers know that we have already once bravely fought the watery elements on a work-related trip; let’s not make it twice. Clear it up, folks. We don’t want to wade this early in the week.

Sporting-wise: Sweet mercy, we were over at the St. Paul Como Park vs. St. Paul Johnson boys’ basketball section final last night, and we have to say it was not only one of the more lively events we’ve been to in a while, but it was also one of the best exhibitions of sportsmanship we can remember at that level in such a meaningful game. Players hugged and clapped for each other after Como Park’s 72-61 victory, even though Johnson — the No. 1 seed which had defeated Como Park twice during the regular season — was surely smarting from the loss. Fans clapped for both sides as they took their first and second place trophies. It was great to see.

This day might be a bit disjointed because of travel, but we would be remiss if we didn’t at least give you the Fasola-link! Stu’s Hunt Down is (hopefully) coming up next. We’re planning on doing some blogging from the NCAA wrestling once it starts tomorrow as well; Mr. Marthaler, meanwhile, should be helping out with some NCAA hoops posting. It’s going to be festive. It might be rain-soaked. Hey, that might be a new T-shirt slogan.
