OT: SI.com article on NCAA basketball tournament expansion
I thought it was cool there was a shoutout to MGOBlog on a mainpage article on SI.com.. Saying A headline on the popular Michigan fan site MGoBlog.com read: "The 96 Team NCAA Tournament: A Plot Against America."

You'd probably do well to edit your headline to "tournament expansion", otherwise everyone's going to think "conference expansion."
The idea of 96 teams honestly makes my stomach turn because the last two weeks of the regular season and Selection Sunday are among the most exciting periods in sports.
Nice to see the headline get a shout-out though; it's so true.
...Mandel didn't include one of those hyperlink thingamabobs so that the entire SI.com readership could avail themselves of the exhaustive arguments and delicate word play of one Brian Cook as well as the scintillating back and forth among the MGoBlogerati.
That's a typical "MSM who use the interwebs" snub of the "unwashed blogger" community.
That's okay. I don't want the potential for server crash. It's not even national signing day/the day we sign Rich Rodriguez/a freep Jihad.
And no, I would not expect that much traffic to come from a hyperlink in that article.
...with the lowly bloggers and this is what I get, eh? Not even a "thanks for sticking up for us by showing how the corporate sites use blogger content without sharing the traffic?" [emoticon]
Roger, server concerns.
