Bucknell agrees with me. Fortunately, that post I made a week or two ago late at night in a dull haze of children&#8217;s cough syrup and a blend of whatever drops of liquor I had left in the house, caused me to avoid Kansas at all costs. Of course I gave them enough credit to beat Bucknell (which didn&#8217;t happen), but I had them losing in the next round. In fact, aside from Syracuse in the Elite Eight (do wins by Vermont count if I really don&#8217;t consider them a state as much as I consider them &#8220;Southern Quebec&#8221;?) and LSU to the Sweet Sixteen, all my Sweet Sixteen teams are still alive, and I&#8217;m running somewhere around 23-7 for the first round. Not too shabby. And I can live with the Syracuse loss, since if there&#8217;s one thing I&#8217;ve learned from working in TV, its that the people like to drink after work. A lot. If there&#8217;s two things I&#8217;ve learned, its that &#8220;working in TV&#8221; isn&#8217;t nearly as cool as everyone with a real job seems to think it is when you tell them what you do for a living. And if I&#8217;ve learned three things, its that 90% of anchors went to Syracuse University, and think that their shit smells like roses. No it doesn&#8217;t, it smells like the bottom of the U. of Vermont&#8217;s shoes right about now. <\/p>\n<p>Of course, its still early, and I&#8217;ll be sweating bullets as Kentucky faces Cincinnati in the &#8220;battle of who&#8217;s not going to be a second round failure THIS year&#8221; competition. Speaking of Cincinnati, the video on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wcpo.com\/news\/2004\/local\/06\/11\/huggins.html\">this page<\/a> (top clip, the dashboard camera video) is awesome. So awesome, that I&#8217;ve <a href=\"https:\/\/haveyoumettony.com\/index.php?p=181\">already written about it<\/a>. If (or when) Cincinnati loses tomorrow, you better be sure to give Bobby H. two extra lanes down the road from Indy to Cincy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As I said before Kansas has no business being put in anyone&#8217;s Final Four.
