More things in this world should be decided by 64-team winner-take-all tournaments, where viewers of said tournaments are forced to come up with creative excuses to avoid going to work in order to watch.
Unfortunately, I have no creative excuse. Instead, I am resigned to having up to 7 different ESPN browsers open at any one time so that I can follow the trials and tribulations of the gutsy Portland State Vikings, the feisty Winthrop Eagles, the scrupulous Belmont Bruins, and the downright Machiavellian Oral Roberts OralRobertsons.
(It's actually the Oral Roberts Golden Eagles, which is a HUGE improvement over the Winthrop Plain Jane Run-of-the-Mill Eagles. Those guys are pretty lame.)
In other news, the sports bar I used to frequent has been converted into Barack Obama's Chapel Hill headquarters. I hope they kept that old hockey game...you know the one that I'm talking about, where you controlled your players using long rods that you could spin and get the players to spin around. Remember it now? The game where you could play US vs. USSR and hit the "Boo" button 100 times. That game might have been one of the biggest contributors to the downfall of Communism and the Soviet Union, along with Rocky IV, that Reagan guy, and decades of pent-up demand for general consumer products that actually worked.
