The Number 39
Alright well first off I’d like to express my anger about the Missouri loss today. They played Uconn well, but just got outmatched in the end. This kind of put a sour taste in my mouth.After that, Pitt lost, so I lost 2 of my final 4 tonight. However, the Pitt loss was probably more good news than bad news for me. Living in Pittsburgh, most people in the polls I am had Pitt winning it all. There is a very small amount of people who had them losing before now, so it’s really not a bad thing. The Missouri loss hurt me a lot though, because a large amount of people had Uconn. I have to be perfect from here on out to have a shot. That means I need Louisville and Oklahoma to win their next 2 games and then face off in the championship, where I need Louisville to win. I think it’s doable
- The first (and probably the only) thing that instantly comes into my head is a big name in Pittsburgh sports. That’s fast Willie Parker. That pretty much speaks for itself right there.
- In math, the sum of the first 5 primes equals 39. (3 + 5 + 7 + 11 + 13). Now, that’s just eery.
- 39 is the atomic number of yttrium
- In the Torah, there are 39 mentions of work or labor.
- In baseball, Roy Campenella wore the number 39, and had the number retired.
- 39 is also the number of nanoseconds of the nuclear reaction in the largest nuclear explosion ever recorded.
- Neil Armstrong was 39 years old when he stepped foot on the moon.
- Queen recorded song titled “39″.

Congrats on rising to number 39! I like your dedication post a lot too, very creative. Sorry about Louisville (and it look like Oklahoma is going to lose too
If it makes you feel any better, my bracket completely sucked this year. I was pretty much out by the Sweet Sixteen

I hate Chemistry, so I didn’t like the Yttrium one
