March is here and along with it comes warm weather and basketball. I thought that a good way to celebrate it would be to put up my basketball hoop. I went to put it up in my lawn (i have it facing the street cause no one ever comes driving down my street) and left it balenced so i could get the sandbags toput on the base. However, the hoop wouldnt stay up. The center of mass isn't the center of the base because it isn't symetrical. So, i placed a shovel on the base to provide enough tourqe to oppose the motion so that it could throw the sandbag on to keep it in place. I took a task that shoulda been easy and made it hard because i forgot about basic physics. But i gotthe job done.

Random Sports Fact: Harvard is in the tourney for the 1st time since the 1940's
