Regardless of what happens tonight I shall finish around last in the Corn Nation Bracket Challenge contest. This is not shocking as I have no clue as to what were this season's good basketball teams outside the Big Ten and if you asked me about the Big Ten it would not have been Michigan I chose as the ultimate representative.

If you asked me if I care who wins tonight's game, I'd answered that I'm not completely sure. As Big Ten denizens we are somewhat obligated to hate conference-mates, but when you look to the other side of the aisle and see that sonofabitch Pitino, I have to ask - "WHY NOT MICHIGAN? WHAT CAN POSSIBLE BE WORSE THAN ANOTHER RICK PITINO NATIONAL TITLE?", even though I have no clue as to how many he's actually won.
