March Madness Trivia & Fun Facts

The phrase “March Madness” was coined by Henry V. Porter in 1939 to describe an Illinois high school basketball tourney. Brent Musburger first used it during NCAA coverage in 1982 causing a legal battle almost as insane as the playoffs.

But everyone finally worked things out and the madness was official. There isn’t a good record of who first called the playoffs “The Big Dance”, but it does describe the action.

The 6 schools who have the winningest history in NCAA Division I Men’s basketball are:

So You Think You Can Dance Flash, We head to the Big Easy tonight on “So You Think You Can Dance” after last night’s flashing excitement, and New Orleans doesn’t disappoint, ya heard? (Unless you were expecting another flasher, that is.) I was particularly excited to see a couple styles new to the show. Nigel is off getting an honorary doctorate (in very fancy robes), so instead we’re joined by Adam Shankman and Lil’ C.

The Vegas-bound:

Shelby “Skip” Skipper/20/New Orleans Bounce – This style is basically the hip hop version of Riverdance in that while the legs are going crazy, the torso is mostly just providing backup support. There’s also much shaking of the torso, though, when the legs take a break. I’m exhausted just watching it. The judges all confess to being completely unfamiliar with the style, but they’re really digging it and appreciate Skip’s bringing it to their attention. I’m actually surprised by the Vegas ticket, though – I definitely thought he was a choreography candidate since that’s the route they often go with non-contemporary dancers.

Jonathan Litzler/18/Contemporary – Jonathan is a crazy good tumbler, but it doesn’t take away from his dancing at all. And honestly, this seems like one of those auditions that would be better to see in person. Adam actually calls it one of the best auditions he’s ever seen. Lil’ C is back to himself after taking the night off yesterday, calling Jonathan “a perfect blend of weight, energy, space, and time.” …So there you have it.

Justin Kenney/23/Breakdance – Justin survived a serious car accident, but we don’t need the sob story: his dancing speaks for itself. In fact, I can barely describe it! He does some amazing moves where he’s upside down on his hands pushing off into the air and spinning (”air flares”), and he’s off to the choreography round, where he unfortunately struggles. But they “take a huge, huge gamble” on him, and send him on to Vegas.

Kimalee Piedad/25/Ice Dancing With No Ice (”Theater Arts”) – Okay, seriously, these lifts are bananas. B-A-N-A-N-A-S. She and her partner are incredibly strong, holding very challenging positions with no sign of strain at all. It’s extraordinary, and I’d love to see what they could do with a SYTYCD waltz (and what she could do on her own). I’m loving the new styles tonight!

Jakob Karr/18/Contemporary – You know, Jakob just looks like he belongs on the show. He’s expressive, he’s got great lines, a couple interesting tricks but not enough to distract from the dancing, and more strength than you’d expect from someone his size. The judges think he’s phenomenal. Yay!

Diana Drexler/29/Contemporary – Her grandfather passed away the previous day, while she was away to audition. She does a great job, even without considering the mitigating factors. It’s beautiful. Way to represent for folks in their late 20’s! The judges are impressed both by her dancing and her strength, and they put her through to choreography and Vegas. It’s not even based on pity, either!

The Rest:

Eric La Blanc/25/Hip hop – Well…he’s an entertainer. And a great cautionary tale about Red Bull overconsumption. So…yeah. That audition happened. And it made him dizzy. And it somehow got him through to choreography. You know, it’s all well and good putting someone through because you think it’ll be funny to watch, but that really sucks for his partner.

Micah Mixon/24/Hip hop – Let’s summarize: tough childhood -> rebellion -> dancing -> spiritual awakening. Got it? Okay, on to the dancing. He’s got potential, but it’s a bit too jerky for my tastes, and I think he’s a little sloppy and could be hitting harder (aside from the chest – I agree with Lil’ C on that one). I just wasn’t blown away. As Mary points out, his gliding was strong – why not do more of that? I’m no expert, though, and the judges were blown away and send him to choreography, where he crashes and burns. I hate to say I told you so, but…

Cheers and Jeers:

Cheers to the brass band entertaining the waiting contestants. Cheers to “Mary’s Rules of What Not to Do Starring Adam Shankman”: no hat over your eyes, no reaching out to nowhere, no rubbing your body, and no men’s booty shaking! Agreed on all counts. Jeers to the lack of Nigel. I know not everyone agrees with me, but I really think his comments can be instructive and illuminating. Well, at least some of the time…you know, when he’s not ogling the ladies.

Dil Bole Hadippa Review
Dil Bole Hadippa is yet another film from the YRF’s kitty based in Punjab. This too represents the stereotypical culture of Punjab with swaying yellow fields, flashy celebrations, desi lassi and chomping sugarcane.
The film is the story of one such village of Punjab located at the Wagah border that has its own cricket team and plays match with the local Pakistani team for the Aman cup and have been losing in a row from past eight years. The team’s owner (Anupam Kher) turns to his son Rohan (Shahid Kapur) who plays county cricket in England to take over as coach and the captain to strengthen the team. A village girl Veera (Rani Mukherjee) though works with a local theatre group in village, treasures an unusual dream of playing a cricket in the big league with the star cricketers Tendulkar and Dhoni. She gets an entry in the men cricket team by disguising herself as a man. Here comes the twist in the story, Veera Kaur becomes Veer Pratap Singh sporting a turban and a beard. And thus it bears out the purpose of Veera living with a nautanki company called Jigri Yaar Dance Company, adept at costumes and disguises.
Her journey in the cricket arena leads to lot of humor, romance and on and off manifests the spirit of India for the sport. It ensembles all the superhit ingredients of the Yash Raj films like situations evoking patriotism, feel of DDLJ and loud Punjabi dialogues like main ek Punjabi baap ka Punjabi beta hoon. In the climax, when Veera’s speech about allowing girls to dream freely will certainly move the audience. Unarguably, Rani is looking better than what she has in years and Shahid too looked dashing. The only two spoilsports in the sporty film are Sherlyn Chopra and Rakhi Sawant.
By the way DBH is the Punjabi version of the 2006 high school rom-com “She’s The Man’ in which a girl disguises herself as her brother to get in a soccer team.
Catch up DBH to see the fiery chemistry between first-time paired Bollywood ki rani Rani Mukherjee and Kamine star Shahid Kapoor.
