The Final Four

Two storied teams
Creme-de-la-creme
  Yet one has to lose
  To sing the blues
Tear-stained its dreams

I'm a great admirer of Coach K. A Chicago boy if I recall correctly.

It is sadly the way of the world - one winner, one loser.

Well, you'd think they'd at least give the losers a 'participation trophy!'

Wow. Well, it always happens when two continuing rivals clash.

A shame there has to be a loser in these monumental games. Thanks for the commenting, Milt.
