The NCAA Tournament Thread

Hey, their endowment is only $41,000,000,000. No, that is not my usual exaggeration for comedic value. It is REALLY $41 billion and they can't fly their band on JetBlue?!

I looked it up. Hey, they might lose a few thousand don’t know if they would recover. I can only hope their is another reason like exams or it’s pathetic.

I am not smart enough to count that high. Too many zeros. But it looks like a lot. So much so, they can outright buy JetBlue and fly them.

I cannot accept the exams excuse. The players can have their schedules changed, why not the band?
 
OK, I am going to rant only once regarding Gonzaga for today. I despise them! Why??? I am quite sure you all know why--I am STILL not over 2000 and the automatic tourney machine they have been since then.

Here is the thing that absolutely blows my mind. Back in 2000, when they beat us in the 2nd round, if I told you one program will go on to appear in the NCAA tournament 23 more times in the next 23 tourneys and the other program will appear only 4 times in the next 23 tourneys, who would YOU have bet the house on?!

Even worse (in case you now don't feel like smashing your TV screen), one program will have 40 NCAA tourney wins (and counting!) during those next 23 appearances and the other team has NONE, ZERO, ZILCH, NADA WINS since that game in 2000. WAIT, WHAAAAAAAAAAAATTT?!?!?!?!?!

The horror...the horror. Time to drink...

That’s ok. I actually like the Zags because of Few. They were the polar opposite of our “style” of play. In other words I’ve been jealous since the took us apart a couple of times.

Naturally, I posted that the Zags aren’t that good. I stayed up late a couple of times when they played St. Mary’s and thought wow this isn’t a great team.

If course, they are beating Kansas by 6 and are looking good today. Go figure.
 
Ok for me to root for Carolina? I like Hubert, RJ Davis and hate Duke. That said I like Izzo, so my bracket wins out.
