Sports Off Topic - I Hope I am Not Disappointed Again: UC could be NCAA champs With Martin, Bearcats at least would have made finals BY MIKE DeCOURCY The Cincinnati Enquirer INDIANAPOLIS ? It would have been unfair to ask Michigan State how its season might have ended if its opponent in the NCAA championship game had worn red and black instead of that funky orange and blue of Florida. In its 89-76 victory, Michigan State played the sort of title game that answered all kinds of questions about the value of talent, leadership and desire and, perhaps most important, commitment to college basketball excellence. The Spartans' championship does not deserve any sort of asterisk, any more than Kentucky's would in 1998 because No.1 North Carolina was defeated in the semifinals. You play who you play, and the team that wins six in a row wins the title. We can wonder, though. We can't help but wonder. What if Kenyon Martin had finished the season on two good legs? Would that have been Cincinnati playing the Spartans? Would it have been UC joining the NCAA's Cedric Dempsey on that rapidly built podium at the center of the RCA Dome floor?

LHG, I have to say that I am very disappointed today. I went to the "International Investment Show" today at the Ramada Hotel in Calgary. I went specifically to talk with the Ekho guys. I was there from 12-2pm (a full 2 hours) and the place was buzzing with promotors and investors. The sad thing is that the Ekho booth was empty...unmanned. We asked several other presenters if they had seen these guys, but nobody knew where they were. It's not a real vote of confidence when the Ekho presenters don't even have the decency to show up. Granted, they most likely were at a "liquid lunch", but come on guys. There are 9 companies represented and nobody could be bothered to stick around and talk to investors. They wasted 3 hours of my (and 2 friends') time. On a brighter note, we were still logging this morning at BKP #1. Sorry for venting about "the other guys". S&P
