I was "Fairleigh" certain Dickinson would win its "First Four" game over Prairie View A & M tonight to advance to the First Round of the NCAA March Madness Tournament -- so congratulations to the wild Knights of FDU! Good luck against Gonzaga on Thursday night!

Emmett Lee Dickinson wrote many poems about March Madness. One of his poems, "When Score Board Clocks expire," is below on the left. Dickinson's poem inspired third cousin Emily to pen her poem "When Continents expire" (below on the right).
