Remember when a young and slightly inexperienced Texas Tech team beat Nebraska earlier this year?
Yeah, that team. They’re in the national championship game and playing Virginia for all the marbles tonight.
A lot has happened since that fateful loss for Nebraska. From what it looks, it was just the start for the Red Raiders. It’s nice to see two teams that are not normally in the championship. I know most of us picked such teams as North Carolina, Michigan State, or even Duke (really?) to win it and this probably busted our brackets, but it makes the sport fun.
Right?
Anyway, on to flakes...
