iBear is officially calling his NCAA Basketball prediction.

UK Wildcats for the Championship.

I watched these guys play the Gators, and it's now halftime against the Razorbacks.

Utterly dominant.

I haven't seen basketball played like this in a long time.

Store-bought Mojito Mix has too much lime!

Can't taste the mint or the rum, just lime...and I know I should've been able to taste that much rum! There's nothing but lime...too much lime. Stop saying lime. I said lime.

Oh yeah...and the Colts issue a smackdown to the Ravens.

Lime.

iBear's heart goes out to the earthquake victims in Haiti.

At approximately 4:54 EST, a massive earthquake (reports vary on intensity, but it appears to have measured somewhere from a 7.0 to a 7.3) struck just 10-12 miles SW of Port-au-Prince, the capital city of the severely-impoverished Caribbean nation. Landlines and cell towers are still down, but initial reports described buildings crashing to the ground, some sliding into ravines, and a major hospital collapsing under the strain.

No one knows yet how many people have been trapped in the rubble, and searches began slowly after a trio of aftershocks--each tipping the Richter Scale at over 5.0--hit the already devastated city.

Casualty estimates will have wait until communication is restored, but it doesn't look good. Haiti is far-and-away the poorest nation in the Western Hemisphere; and the population density of Port-au-Prince, combined with the severely under-code housing, combine to make one of the worst sets of circumstances for quake victims.

Best of luck to everyone in the area...more details as I have them.

Okay...prediction time.

Colts win the Superbowl.

That's all I got.

No idea what's going to happen in the NFC; could be Cardinals (played very well for most of the Green Bay game) or Saints (although they've really dropped off here recently) or Cowboys (even if only because of what they did to the Eagles...two weeks in a row!) or even possibly the Vikings...though they're probably lowest on that list.

The only team that might be able to beat the Colts right now is San Diego, so that should be a great AFC Championship Game!

Everyone wear black tomorrow...

...Not in mourning, but because my Steelers need a little help to make the playoffs!

iBear will be watching that very carefully!
