before you neg the poor guy to death, that's a quote from Winston Churchill.
And Churchill was a badass.

It's a Churchill quote only if you drop the American political parties and drop in liberal and conservative, but point about Churchill being a bad ass well taken.

bad ass I knew

it was from someone famous sorry I didn't give him the credit he deserves. We need more Churchills, is there one "bad ass" now in US politics, other than Sarah Palin? (I wouldn't vote for her but she does shoot moose, while most politicians only carry a gun for a photo opp, see John Kerry, or ride on a tank, can't remember that guys name but will never forget that photo). That tank shot guy was when I was a democrat and I was smart enough then to know that election was over.

Remember, he picked Kentucky as a "great team" just before they lost to South Carolina. I believe that was their first game as a number one.

They won in 1955 as well.
The only comparable feat is Larry Bird and Indiana State making it undefeated to the championship game in 1979 before losing.

"What's the offtopic policy?
In the offseason, offtopic posts are somewhere between tolerated or encouraged. During the season it would be nice if they were kept to a minimum. What counts as on- and off- topic?
ONTOPIC
Anything Michigan sports related
Anything related to other Big Ten teams or upcoming opponents
Stuff about the blog itself
University of Michigan topics that don't relate to sports
GRAY AREA
College sports in general
Ann Arbor
UNWELCOME, KTHX
Politics"

We've basically had chalk brackets since the random George Mason year, and even that was pretty true to form. While the first rounds give you some nice surprises, it does seem that most Elite 8s include few real surprises.

I would say that tactic is a pretty safe bet with low risk, but should be 75 percent correct.
