This year, you can watch all of the NCAA men's basketball tournament games online (although with a lot of Coke Zero ads interspersed), so as long as you have a computer, you can kill your productivity around 11:45 today.

While this Harvey Mason Jr. written "song" was wildly popular among my friends riding the school bus in 1988, it doesn't seem to hold up that well, but it is still amusing, if only to note that Steve Kerr doesn't look all that different now.

Information you can also learn from Patrick Finley's NCAA Tournament wrap-up today: There's only one team with a peacock as a mascot, and a few players have kind of funny names. Then again, I posted a photo of a really expensive dog yesterday, so maybe I shouldn't criticize.

The Tucson Together fund will hopefully get a big boost from the March 25 charity game in Tucson between the Arizona Diamondbacks and Los Angeles Dodgers, says Bill Carnegie, chairman of the committee board of Tucson Together.

Tucson Together, Major League Baseball and the Pima County Sports and Tourism Authority teamed up to create the charity game, which comes on the heels of a March 7 charity game between the Chicago White Sox and Arizona Diamondbacks that benefited the Christina-Taylor Green Memorial Fund, Carnegie says.

Tickets are almost sold out, and the game will begin at 1:05 p.m. at Kino Stadium, formerly known as Tucson Electric Park.

Tucson Together began three weeks ago with the consolidation of several Jan. 8 charity funds, and is run by the Community Foundation for Southern Arizona. At the time of the merger, the funds had collected $250,000 in cash donations and $75,000 in pledged donations. Since then, Tucson Together has brought in another $20,000 or so in donations, Carnegie says.

Several funds chose to stay independent from Tucson Together, including the Gabriel Zimmerman Scholarship Fund, which has collected just over $40,000 in donations, says Jonathan Klein, a San Francisco attorney and alum of the University of California at Santa Cruz, Zimmerman's alma mater.

Although the fund is still short of the $50,000 needed to reach endowment at the university, Klein says it is just a matter of time before the donations reach the required amount.

"We'll get there for sure," he says. "And once we get there, we hope it will keep going."

The Gabriel Zimmerman Memorial Fund has raised $33,000, says Colleen Bagnall, development director of Child and Family Resources in Tucson, the organization that started the fund. That number is up from $32,000 two weeks ago.

Although donations seem to be leveling off, Bagnall says she is "very thankful that people care this much about donating to the fund," adding that she did not originally realize so much money would be raised.

The Pima Community College Foundation Fund honoring victims of the Jan. 8 shooting is moving forward with donations, although the amount will likely remain modest until the foundation's major fundraiser in June, says Cheryl House, executive director of the PCC Foundation.

Although the foundation will not release how much money in donations has been collected by the fund, House says the foundation's Scholarship Golf Tournament on June 11 will probably raise around $25,000.

The annual scholarship will target students who plan to build careers in public and community service, she says.

Last year, I went to Wrestlemania when it was held in Glendale at the University of Phoenix stadium, and while there were some fun matches, it was a little lacking in big time star power and surprises. It was hardly the big time sports entertainment event I expected. This year's Wrestlemania in Atlanta, there's already a match scheduled between announcers Jerry Lawler and Michael Cole, The Rock will be the guest host and likely end up "fighting" John Cena, and now Snooki will be there. I guess Arizona only deserved a Wrestlemania of the caliber of a Tables, Ladders and Chairs pay-per-view. I can't pretend it doesn't hurt to see something I love give its best to another state.

The U of A men's basketball team got its matchup in the tournament a moment ago, and they'll be heading to Tulsa to play the Memphis Tigers Friday, coached by former Wildcat Josh Pastner. If they get through the first round, they'll face either Texas or Oakland.

A reminder, fill out your bracket in our Hoops Hysteria contest, cheer on your favorite team, and you could win prizes from Jack Furrier's, Diablo's Sports Grill, or the national prize of a $1,000,000. Good luck!

Update: The games scheduled for Tucson: No. 7 Temple vs. No. 10 Penn State; No. 2 San Diego State vs. No. 15 Northern Colorado; No. 5 Kansas St. vs. No. 12 Utah State; No. 4 Wisconsin vs. No. 13 Belmont.

At this time of year, college basketball fever spreads across Tucson and on Sunday, the brackets come out and productivity everywhere takes a nose dive. You know you're going to fill out a bracket, so why not do it through Jack Furrier's Hoops Hysteria, our local/nationwide tournament prediction contest? It's super easy, you can win local prizes including a gift certificate from Diablo's, and stuff from Jack Furrier's, and if you get super lucky, you could win a million dollars. Run your office pool through the site and save yourself the trouble of scoring your co-workers' brackets, since you can create groups with your friends, enemies, or frenemies. It's simple, there are prizes, so why not?

Some athletes have mustaches and beards. A lot of hipsters have facial hair. Hence, one can post photos of athletes on Tumblr and make jokes about hipsters. Finally, someone made that connection with Hipster or Athlete.

Nice choice, Junior. "You're Gonna Need Someone on Your Side" is my jam.

Baseball was in Christina-Taylor’s blood. Her grandfather, Dallas Green, pitched in the major leagues and managed the Phillies, Yankees and Mets. Her dad, John Green, played in the minor leagues and now works as a scout for the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Before yesterday’s game, Roxanne Green told reporters she wants people to remember her daughter as “a giver—someone who was always trying to help the less fortunate. She was very appreciative. She was very athletic, very competitive. She was fearless.”

John talked about how the family is still learning how to live with a hole in their lives. It’s still hard for him to believe his daughter won’t be there when he gets home from a scouting trip.

“I expect to see my son, Dallas, and Christina and one of them is not there,” John said. “It’s difficult.”

The Greens are trying to make something good come out of the loss of their daughter. They’re honoring her memory with wristbands, pins and patches on little-league uniforms. The money raised from the sales—like the proceeds from yesterday’s game—will benefit the Christina-Taylor Green Memorial Fund, which will support fund programs for kids.

Details on how to contribute to the fund here.

While I'm not entirely sure I believe the report that there were over ten thousand people in the stands (my guess was around 8,500 based on what I know about the occupancy of Hi Corbett, but I could definitely be wrong), the first edition of the Desert Cup at Hi Corbett Field seemed like a success. Great attendance, a crowd that seemed to be interested in the games on the field, and two matches on Saturday that went down to the last minute. Sure, there were some minor technical glitches (the announcement that there would be a penalty shootout at the end of the MLS match turned out to be incorrect, with the game ending as a tie), but otherwise, it seems like professional soccer has some future in Tucson.
