Nice matchup there.

Hot...

USC wins this game by DOUBLE DIGITS....Tim Floyd is far and away a better coach than Frank Martin, who despite having TWO MickeyD's All Americans continues to let his team get plungered by lesser teams (sup' Mizzou, Nebraska, aTm).

i love a good made for TV event. i wish "the committee" would just draw names out of a hat rather than try and script marketable TV moments for us.

and the pod system still sucks. Memphis looking at playing UT in Houston-some reward for being a #1 seed. and, USC playing KSU 2.5 hours drive from Manhattan.

plus the whole rationale behind the "pod system" is disingenuous. originally, it was introduced to allay airline travel fear after 9/11 (they said)....but, apparently something like it was in the works and it's now here to stay. they just shoehorned the 9/11 logic to implement the change. no more send the top seed to some cold empty gym in Ogden to guarantee a "neutral site"...someone convinced the NCAA that the opposite "philosophy" of competition was the way to go....protect the higher seeds and make some coin in the process. Big name teams+1 cinderella is the wetdream of the networks and NCAA.

i don't see a #1 Carolina or Duke playing UT in Houston any time soon. if i'm Memphis, i'd rather take the 2 draw and play the regional final in Nashville than the 1.

(yes, this is the yearly attenuated anti-pod system screed--next up on the Spring screed docket, March through April, the official months of the Bard of Sport: Jim Nantz. Big Dance and the Masters, somebody tell the guy he's not Shakespeare).

edit: and Seth Greenberg, STFU. Bob Valvano said it best, the tournament field isn't about the best 64 teams. you knew that going in Seth.

Sorry I have to spell it out for you, you FAT fucking RETARD, but you get to knock on your worthless coach, while at the same time, get a win.

Do you need instructions on how to wipe your ass as well? Ask BSmack for some help with that.

This JUST in....I'm a Mizzou fan, shit-for-brains. NOWHERE did I ever proclaim any love for K-State. Tell me you knew.

Yeah, and that went VERRAH well for him didn't it?

Feel free to quit while I'm handing you your ASS.

Paul, of all the possible responses to having KYOA, "LMAO" would be the least appropriate.

Sorry to have to be the one to tell you.

Just so I'm CRYSTAL CLEAR on your take Wags, are you saying that laughing at myself because my prediction of the USC/K-State game was so far wrong it's ridiculous is BAD?

In all seriousness HysterBoy, get over yourself.
