Today is recovery day at the Final Four here in San Antonio. After two stinkbomb suspenseful games, everyone partied their little hearts out last night and are now paying the price (except us, of course).

As you might expect, it’s been an exceptionally exciting weekend already here in the River City, especially with all the f-list major celebrity sightings we’ve had. One of our highlights so far was catching a glance at ESPN superstar Hubert Davis after the doubleheader (we stake his hotel out for three days hoping to steal a glimpse of Hubie - paydirt!).

And thanks to our visit to the local mall, we also rubbed elbows with some of our favorite ESPN personalities.
Before yesterday’s game we hit the downtown RiverCenter mall food court to grab some pregame grub. After loading our plate with Sbarro’s epic baked ziti (extra sauce), we wandered around looking for a seat. Curiously, we couldn’t find one in the expansive mall, because many of the tables had been either reserved or removed.
As we Derrick Rose’d to ourself, we soon realized the reason for the reconfiguration: the ESPN Radio and GameDay crew had two sets erected about 50 feet in front of our beloved Sbarro - blocking off much of the seating.
Well, that development certainly turned our frown upside down, as we sprinted to the front of the stage to revel in the ESPN radio roundball ruminations of Andy Katz, Doug Gottlieb, Bob Valvano and Eric Starts-With-A-K-We-Can’t-Spell-The-Rest.
Yeah, we know, that’s kinda lame, but we’ll have much more from the Final Four coming up shortly on SbB and FOXSports.com - including our impromptu brush with some Memphis Tigers today (with pics! the suspense!). And don’t forget about our Stephen A. Smith Memorial live blog from the game tomorrow night.
