Tits on a bull.

Company Man and Blowhard.

I've heard there's no use for such things...and my grandfather was an Angus cattle farmer. That said, I don't know a lot about bovines...So I don't know if boobies might be of use on a male cow, although it seems quite logical. That said, I do know that Joe Lunardi and other people who steal money by claiming their job is predicting the NCAA field are completely useless.

I truly believe, right or wrong, the old men meeting in Indianapolis are thoughtful in their process to pick who will be playing and where when the NCAA tourney comes around. Conversely, Joe Lunardi, and others, seem not to do enough research to effectively execute what they claim to do. There is little science behind their rambling, and calling it an "ology" of any type is a joke.

There are so many variables when prognosticating about the NCAA tournament- location, seed and hosts of teams and combinations of match-ups...It truly does take a committee. It's no wonder Lunardi sounds like an idiot so often. Isn't it expected though? He's on a network that has nothing to do with journalism and everything to do with making money perpetuating the company line. Big personalities and bigger, more asinine statements are what sell commercial time after all.

Enough gibbering, morons...Can't wait until 6:15 and we actually get down to business.

It does amaze me that he's paid to update his "bracketology" lunacy twice a week starting in like January (at least). Even if you had a clue as to the teams that would be in, there is absolutely NO WAY you can pick the matchups, locations, etc. And to suggest otherwise is simply foolish. It's KIND of fun for a minute... but to keep "updating" it? What's the point? Anyway... yeah, things get serious tonight.

It amazes me that there is a whole industry comprised of overpaying talking heads and gorillas in thousand dolar suites to pontificate about and overanalyze sports on 24 hour networks.

People must enjoy listening to it...Market-driven TV, I guess.

Well, so far, so iffy. IU's an eight, and Bucky's a three. That game might have definitely hurt their seeding.

And Sparty's a five. They went further than the Boilers in the tourney, so I would think that they will be a five or a six. And they're being shipped out west (well, at least if they get to the Sweet 16, anyway). Well, anyway, it's a shame what happened to IU...wait, no it isn't. :-D Oh, and Butler got hosed.

Actually, they're going to DC. And it's Baylor! So how much will the Indy Star play up the overall Indiana roots? Who's got odds? ;-)
