Tough choice: Do I root
Tough choice: Do I root
Tough choice: Do I root against Sparty because, well, seeing Sparty burn more couches would be fun (especially after investing all that money in that second-hand furniture store in E.Lansing)? Then again, do I root for them to win so that the B1G proves itself as the best conference this year? Awww, f--k it. Go Crusaders!

I'm rooting for the best of both worlds: Sparty loses this Saturday, but it ends up being an all-Big-Ten Final Four.

Because he always is. Two amazing notes from that session:
1) His admission that we win the '93 title if that game is not in New Orleans.
2) The dice game in Detroit where he wins 5 grand and then buys a Honda Accord.

His Dudeness is saying he does have a job and supports himself, and hence isn't able to enjoy the games and drink beer all day. Like most of us, I assume he's staring down decades of uninspiring work for this or that company.

Very True...
Very True...
..but then if State continues to miss the first two out of every three like they seem to be now, I have a good feeling about Valpo staying in this one for a while anyway. After all, Tennessee outrebounded Mercer by a 2:1 margin and still lost.
