So I get on an elevator at my hotel and see a guy I haven't seen in almost 25 years.

I first met Dave Woloshin (no idea how I remember) when he was sharing a huge house in Memphis with two women, one of whom I dated for a time. I'd say their set-up was a "Three's Company" kind of thing, but I never watched that show so I'm not sure what that might imply.

I think the three of them were house-sitting for a wealthy family temporarily abroad.

Dave does sports radio in Memphis. I worked for the paper there when I knew him.

My fondest memory of him is seeing him dancing like a wild man with his housemates to a Huey Lewis & the News song. (The music was so loud, no one heard the doorbell, so I let myself in and happened on to the scene.)

The woman I was seeing back then was in TV news. She was really cute. But once when we were in Washington, D.C., together, I got the distinct impression the Vietnam Memorial bored her.

As I remember it, we broke up soon after that.

Her version might sound different.

Neither Dave nor I mentioned the possibility of a GU vs. Memphis game Saturday.

No one had to say it.

First things first.

Paul - your blog is great. I especially love the links. Keep up the good work and GO GONZAGA!!!!!!!!!! Enjoy yourself.

-was interrupted before I could write something on the previous comment.
The main thing I want to say is:
Man, is this nerve-wracking for a Memphis to Spokane transplant!
I’ve always pulled for Memphis. But have also pulled for GU since moving here.
Tonight will be easy but what if what I want happens and they both win?
It might be easiest to say Blood Is Thicker Than Water—-so, Go Tigers!
But, I don’t want this column to stop. I want to have it to read til the end of the tournament.
Paul, you’re killing me.
