614. Stat of the day # 1 - until this year, no state had ever had four teams in the Sweet 16. Ohio, Xavier, Cincinnati, and Ohio State give Ohio 4 teams in the NCAA tournament Sweet 16 after all four teams won 2 games this past weekend.
615. That Ohio State vs. Cincinnati game is going to be a dandy on Thursday night up in Boston!!!!!616. at least I don't have to watch that dumb commercial about Matt Cristiano driving 900 miles for Taco Bell for at least 4 more days
617. 87 years ago yesterday - March 18, 1925 - The worst tornado on record occurred on March 18, 1925. The storm moved from Missouri to Indiana at speeds up to 50 mph. The storm was a major F5 tornado and it obliterated everything in its path. The storm took the lives of 695 people, making it the single deadliest tornado ever.
618. stat of the day # 2 from Chicago - On Saturday, the Windy City set a new record for the most number of 80-degree days in March with four when the temperature warmed to 82 degrees during the afternoon at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport.
Saturday was also the fourth consecutive day above 80, which broke the previous record for earliest in the season to have four consecutive 80-degree days. Previously the earliest Chicago has ever had four consecutive 80-degree days was back on April 15-18, 1896.
Prior to this year, there had only been 10 days in March with highs in the 80s. Therefore on average, Chicago only has an 80-degree high during the month of March just once in about every 14 years.
