When is NCAA seeding complete

When is the seeding determined for the NCAA tournament?

About 3 minutes prior to the Selection Show on the Sunday following the conference tournaments.

That means March 20th?
Is there any trouble getting tickets at that late date or does one buy protective tickets?

Its rarely difficult to get tickets to a regional. No problem if you call Monday.

Reasonably-priced plane tickets, on the other hand...

You can fly with less than a week's notice to every ECAC and NCAA Final Four for the rest of your life for the price of one Long Island wedding.

You just need to have your priorities straight.

My trip back from Ithaca cost about $50 more than I expected it to, but I still regret most not getting my Cornell baseball cap back after Moulson's hat trick. So I see your point.

You can get your hat back?

When I was there, they'd throw them all in a garbage can, and you could pick 'em up after the game.

I got mine back, they had a whole lot of them at the bottom of section C if you stuck around for a few minutes after the game.

[This is way OT but] (Our first date was to see Cornell in the NCAA regionals. She thought it incredibly romantic to drive to Providence in March to see ice hockey. I was hooked then and there. She thought the cowbell cheer was so cool although she was confused by the reference to B.U. that was of course not the opponent.)

The credit card joke aside, if the parents (read: mother) of the bride think paying for the wedding means exercising 100% control over all facets of the wedding, then this could be the most satisfying ten (twenty? thirty?) grand you ever spent. Well, maybe ten grand would bring satisfaction, but for thirty large, maybe you can listen to the old windbag go on and on about yellow vs. pink tablecloths.

Tip No. 1 for cheap wedding: Go to Filene's basement when you're in Boston for the ECACs. (Oh, wait, it moved. Then try the Cohoes outlets. Nothing else to do in Albany unless ex-Crimson scribe Morosi wants to give you a tour of the newspaper building.) Buy the most soiled wedding dress (biggest discount) meant for the chubbiest bride (most fabric), have it cleaned, and then find a seamstress who'll rip the tent apart and turn the $100 dress into the equal of $500 of fabric and then into a real wedding dress for about $250.

I have weddings on the brain today because I just found the in-laws are getting married the weekend of the NCAA lax finals but nowhere near where it's being played. I was hoping for two Big Red final fours this winter and spring, hoping to go in person. And, damn, they're doing the wedding just outside Columbus. Wonder if they could speed it up to say the second weekend in April ... ? That would be the shortest reception we ever attended on a Saturday afternoon. ("Funny, I could swear I see some big, reddish numbers under your tuxedo shirt."

You throw a hat on the rink every time there's a Cornell hat trick, you're out $70 a decade, roughly speaking. That's less than tuition is going up.

Or if you stick around afterwards, maybe you can trade up to a better cap.

Ya know, Bill, just when I think you can't get any dumber after your comments this weekend, you go and say something like this, and...

TOTALLY REDEEM YOURSELF

Damn Bill, you been hitting the sauce on a school night again?

[Q]jeh25 Wrote: Damn Bill, you been hitting the sauce on a school night again?[/q]How does one answer that question? Admit to innebriation on a school night? (Actually it's a four-day school weekend here but let's not exercise that defense.) Or claim sobriety? Intoxication is often a good defense against things one later regrets. If you're four sheets to the wind on the company retreat, you can tell off the boss and it's okay in the morning, but you can't try that back at the office when all you're drinking is regular coffee. So on this, can I take the, er, fifth?

But alas, mine was not among them.

Hmm, he told me at Dunbar's he'd look for it, but I didn't bother describing it to him.

Four sheets? What are you sailing, a yawl or a ketch?

Last hat I threw on the Ice (for a Moulson hatrick), the students who pick up the student rink assistants who came out to collect them just started throwing them back into the crowd. Dullards. I didn't get mine back.
