March Madness

[Bond]

Really touching Yahoo Sports column on WVU, specifically this part:

West Virginia is in it to win it. And here, in perhaps the craziest NCAA tournament of all time, why not West Virginia, why not these Mountaineers?

You come from a place like West Virginia and you’re always being told what you can’t do. It’s too rural, too poor, too, well, too just West Virginian. If you’re going to succeed you have to leave, go off to somewhere bigger and fancier. It’s how it’s worked for generations. The possibilities are limited at home, limitless away. So off they go – many of the best and brightest seeking success elsewhere even as they carry their home state pride with them forever.

It’s not coal that is West Virginia’s greatest export. It’s people.

So now comes Huggins, son of West Virginians, born in West Virginia, a graduate of West Virginia and he’s puffing out his chest and saying the exact opposite.

There isn’t anything West Virginia can’t do, he says. And we’re going to do it from right here at home.

Even though my bracket got gutted, this final four will be a blast to watch. I'm cheering for every team but Duke

[The Germanator]

Yeah, I was really hoping Baylor would sneak in there. Hoping for Butler to win and if not them West Virginia. I'll be bummed if it's Michigan State or Duke.

[ZebraRampage]

I don't really care for this Final Four. West Virginia was my school's rival, so I'm not rooting for them. I'm sick of Duke always winning, even though it's been a while since they've been to a Final Four, so I'm not rooting for them either. I guess I'll go for Butler since they're the biggest underdog.

[Bond]

Everyone please root for WVU over Duke.

Hoping for a WVU vs. Butler Final. 2 teams that have never won, I think so.

[The Germanator]

Damn, a great game. The way this tournament went, I was more stunned that the final shot didn't go in. Wow, what a bummer. Butler really should have done it too. Too many missed shots. Crazy.

And not that it matters but Carnage 17 won by a country mile.

Let's hope he doesn't see this.

[Carnage17]
