“On November 13th, Felix Unger was asked to leave his place of residence. That request came from his wife……..”
So began every episode of The Odd Couple, one of the funniest TV shows ever, with Tony Randall/Jack Klugman as two divorced guys sharing an apartment in New York City.
Happy Felix Unger Day!!!

— NCAA basketball tournament is expanding to 76 teams this year, adding four play-in games after Selection Sunday. More big conference teams with cruddy league records are going to get in; doubtful they put a lot more mid-major teams with at-large bids.
— Of the 32 conference tournaments that will happen in March, only three of them will have their championship in the higher seed’s gym- America East, Northeast, Patriot Leagues.
There will be four conference tournaments in Las Vegas this season.
— Former Saint Louis star Robbie Avila sued to become eligible to play this year and he won, but the Billikens already had 15 guys on scholarship, so Avila is ineligible to play for Saint Louis- they were 29-6 last year, won a game in the NCAA’s.
Instead, Avila is heading to play for TCU, which has an opening- they’re apparently going to pay him $1M to play this season. Good for him.
