I have the worst luck flying into and out of Chicago. I’m supposed to be on my way to O’Hare to catch up with my peeps at FeedBurner, but as usual, my flight’s been delayed. Over 2 hours now.
Going to be a long night.
sweet sixteen thoughts
I think Kansas is the antidote for the grotesque “defensive minded” basketball that Southern Illinois plays.
Pittsburgh has as much business being in the round of 16 as Van Halen had being at the Rock ‘n Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony.
Ohio State is overrated and could very easily lose to Tennessee. If that happens, Bruce Pearl is gonezo. And Memphis is even more overrated than Ohio State. Expect them to choke it up against a tough Texas A&M team.
Both Georgetown and Florida will stroll into the next round. Both Oregon and Carolina will have a fight against two big underdogs.
I’ll take Florida, Kansas, G’Town and A&M in the final four, and then Kansas over G’Town in the big ‘un, giving CBS a chance to unload stock rooms full of Danny Manning clips.
And after that, my friends, the dark ages are upon us, ’till we are freed again in late August.
scream
if anyone has any info on how to scream like Dave Grohl, please let me know. In particular, I’m looking for “Breakout” chorus type screaming.
The sad state of the NCAA
Bob Costas, God bless all 4′7″ of him, had a great “Costas NOW” show on HBO tonight — kids going to college in “revenue generating sports” who really should never be in college in the first place.
Donna Shalala, leprechaun and president of the University of Miami, actually argued that her student athletes go to class and try to graduate like normal college kids. When Costas asked her of the many accounts of Miami football players never attending class or receiving special treatment, her only reply was “you still won’t get me Lucky Charms.”
And Myles Brand. What a joke. His spin doctoring of graduation rates for athletes was making Bill Clinton uneasy. Even Bob was calling BS on your stats, Myles. Stop it before he bloodies your shins.
Costas also had a piece on Coach K and the whole Duke lacrosse situation. Mike was kind enough to put his cheese down for an extended interview with Costas to explain how he was there for Duke’s president Dick Brodhead during the whole Duke Lacrosse scandal. Shockingly, Brodhead never played the Coach K card.
It’s a pretty softball piece. Mike’s a great coach. He’s polish. He’s a blue collar guy. His daughters love him, and make him a more sensitive coach. He’s polish. He prefers sharp cheddar. He had a tough upbringing under Bobby Knight. He’s polish. He’s a despicable guy (he actually said that). Apparently he had a man crush on Bobby Hurley. Did I mention he’s polish?
And Mike. No matter how many times you say “supper”, we’re not buying that you actually know the difference between that and dinner. I’m just sayin’.
