(from the Clarion-Ledger) You know, I'm flattered Charles, but lots of people have the same reaction when they realize that's the scene of my graduation. Moving on.
Good job on winning the West. Here's to a good showing in Atlanta and a decent seed in the tourney. Now, if I might have a word with my alma mater: Please, try and make it past the second round of the tournament this time. I've seen you blow it at that point in every conceivable way. Lose to an upstart big-name program playing closer to home than they deserve (Texas), let a scrappy bunch of underdogs hang around the whole game to win at the last second (Butler, damn 12-5 match up), have a red-hot team shoot lights out the whole day (Xavier), play a big name close the whole time, only to fall short at the end (Duke). I've seen it all. Sure, some of those teams were better than this group (talent-wise and record-wise, at least). I'm even willing to put my $ on the line and keep you out of the second round in my office pool. That's right, my superstitious ass will take a dive on this one, just meet me halfway.
Also, enjoy this article featuring some of the "greatest" infractions in SEC history on this list. If we all try really hard, I'm sure we can trump the Big 12 in terms of shadiness (assuming Oklahoma and Nebraska don't go on some crazy 1980's style binge).
