Two of you will benefit from a mistake, a sponsor note. Friend and Sponsor of blog Matt Demorest bought a couple tickets to the game with ten seconds left in the Purdue-Minnesota game, and has now come across two more. He's giving the second pair away. Sign up here; he'll notify the winner at noon tomorrow.
And while you're thinking about this game, think about a mortgage. Rates are at 12 moth lows. If you have been thinking about buying a new home, refinancing, or remodeling Matt can help make it happen. He has treated MANY of our readers very well over the years. Give him a shot.
I will watch this if you insist. I am doing you a favor.

The narrow escape. The NTSB report on the near-disaster before the Big Ten tournament two years ago is out:
The captain, Mark Radloff, told investigators that when he tried to tilt the plane upward it felt heavy, as if there were a stack of bricks on the nose.
"This thing is not flying," Radloff said to Andreas Gruseus, who was instructing Radloff on the plane. Radloff saw a chain-link fence in the distance and didn't think the plane could clear it.
"Abort, abort, abort," he called out.
Later, Gruseus told Radloff he wasn't supposed to abandon the takeoff at such a high speed.
"I know, but I had nothing, I had absolutely nothing to get the nose up," he said.
Terrifying.
