The game isn't for hours but the blogging begins early. That's how we roll here at CBSSports.com.

The main blog objectives today:

1. Make fun of Doyel's atrocious haircut which looks like his head got caught in a wood chipper.

2. Blog every important moment of the game including chronicling John Calipari's gyrations.

3. Count the number of times Tyler Spazbrough is called a "hero" or "gritty" or "a gritty hero." The over/under is 912.

4. Sneak in talk about "Battlestar Galatica" the best show on TV since "Cheaters."

5. Document the number of Memphis fans who will say no one respects their team.

Most of all, have fun, and talk a lot of basketball.

Three-plus hours until game time. What do I do first. Hmmm...eat my turkey sandwich with swiss and extra mustard or make fun of Doyel?

So many decisions...

How easily could the city handle hosting another one?

Based on what I've seen with how the city hosted the NCAA South Regional the answer is fairly easily.

There are plenty of hotels, the people are nice and things went fairly efficiently with the regional.

Just one caveat.

The traffic here is unbelievably bad. I mean, awful. It could be a serious problem for fans and media attempting to get around Super Bowl week. I can't imagine what the congestion would be like with so many more people jamming already over-crowded highways.

Other than the traffic issues Houston would again do a very fine job.
