Bracket Bummer. KU Loses.

It's goodbye to another season of KU Basketball. They were knocked out of the NCAA Tournament by losing to UCLA 68-55 on Saturday night. I really thought that they had a chance to make it to the Final 4 and maybe even win the whole thing, but not this year. That stinks!

ELITE EIGHT BABY!!! KU WINS!!!

The Kansas Jayhawks are on their way to the "Elite 8!" They just beat Southern Illinois 61-58 in the NCAA Tournament. The Hawks will now play the winner of the UCLA-Pittsburgh game tonight. GO KU!!!

Suffering from a case of the Monday's

It has been a busy few weeks and it's caught up with me. I was not in today at work. I took a sick day. It's the first one that I have taken at the station in a long, long time. I still got about 15 calls and text messages anyway. Well, hope you had a nice weekend.

Hubbard, his eye-in-the-sky wife, off to Chicago

Hubbard, his eye-in-the-sky wife, off to Chicago

By Dick Kreck Denver Post Staff Columnist

They arrived together and they'll leave together.
KDVR-Channel 31 reporter/weekend anchor Jeremy Hubbard is movin' on up to a job as a Chicago-based correspondent for ABC News, covering Middle America.
And he's taking his fly-by-day wife, Taunia Hottman, KUSA-Channel 9 eye-in-the-sky reporter, with him.
The ink's not dry on his ABC contract, but Hubbard expects he'll be gone from Fox by mid-April. Hottman says her last day at 9News is April 13.
Husband-and-wife teams in the TV biz are not unheard-of but landing jobs together isn't easy, which makes their electronic odyssey unusual. The two fell in love in college, worked together in Wichita, Kan., then moved to Kansas City before arriving in Denver three years ago.

Leaving won't be easy either, says Hubbard. "I was born in Glenwood Springs and lived in Leadville. Being back here was a huge thing. We talked about (leaving) for a long time." Ultimately, it was an opportunity he couldn't pass up. "I watched Peter Jennings all the time as a kid. Now, here I am working at the same place he worked. It's a dream come true. I was afraid if I didn't do it now it wouldn't present itself again."
Hottman's going without a job but she's looking forward to the Chicago move too. "I'm just thrilled beyond anything for him. I know it's a large freelancing market so I'm hopeful something will turn up. We loved living here. It's really difficult to be leaving."
What I found out too late about Hubbard: He's a rabid fan of Neil Diamond. "I have every song he's ever recorded." I have no comment.
Hubbard averted a horrible tragedy recently when someone stole his iPod that contained his entire Diamond collection. That must have been one disappointed thief. Luckily, Hubbard had his Diamond treasure trove saved elsewhere.
Taunia disavows any connection with Jeremy's Diamond madness. "I have nothing to do with that."

Jeremy and Taunia in the "Windy City"

I got a text message from Jeremy earlier today saying that they were in Chicago this weekend House Hunting. I then called him and he said that it was chilly up there and that they would be looking all around this weekend.
Earlier this week my brother made it official. He is going to be the new ABC News Correspondent from Chicago. Congrats bub! Love ya!

Congrats to Mike Modano. He's in the "500 Club!"

There never has been much doubt that Mike Modano is among the NHL's elite players, but just in case there was any uncertainty somewhere, he erased it earlier this week when he scored his 500th career goal.
Anyone who knows anything about me knows that I hate the Dallas Stars, but I am a Modano fan. He was a member of the Minnesota North Stars when Norm Green (or Norm Greed), moved them from the Twin Cities to the South. He has been a member of the same organization for his whole pro career. I was glad to see him make it to 500 goals, but I don't want to see him holding the cup anytime soon!

KU ROLLS!!! Great start in the NCAA Tournament!

ROCK CHALK JAYHAWK, KU!!!

The Kansas Jayhawks kicked some major butt tonight in Chicago. They rolled past Niagra 107-67. They were picked to win by 19 points. They more than doubled that tonight! The last two years they tanked in the first round with losses to Bucknell and Bradley. Not this year. They will play again on Sunday. GO KU!!!
