VCU plays with Havoc, but Mitch McGary is Chaos. First Sweet Sixteen appearance since 1994 means, yes, muppets:

and you can't have one without the other...

Survive and advance, baby.

about a Michigan sporting event result since the 2011 Ohio State Football game.  It's good to be Blue! Hail to the Victors.  I guess this means we root for UNC?

Vindication?

Well, I said it wouldn't be close. . . I didn't predict who would win, just that it wouldn't be close.

Making accurate predictions that mean absolutely nothing is more or less my lot in life, and I'm a Michigan alum, so. . . well, not sure what the point is, but it's a good day.

Elite 8, I suppose

Closer to the same number of contestants  -- although it's really not comparable, because

 

  • Basketball tournament seeding is (at least putatively) based on merit, not tourism or TV draw.
  • Coversely, making the Elite 8 depends heavily on a 3-game sample of performance, not a season.
  • All eight Elite 8 teams are eligble to win the championship, but only two BCS teams are.

John Beilein just checking things off the list. First Big Ten title in 22 years (or was it 24) last year, first Sweet 16 since 1994 this year.
