I hope you sense the wide brush with which I am applying my sarcasm to this.
In the "Fact that don't mean crap" realm, VCU did parlay their CBI Tourny championship into a Final Four appearance in the real tournament this year. I do not expect that for Oregon. Not unless we start paying for recruits in basketball as much as we do in football.
But oh, you logged in to see my response to the National Championship. Here's what I think.
1. I only watched the last 8 minutes so to me it seemed like an okay game.From what I hear, I didn't miss much.
2. For those of us who moan about a playoff for football, maybe we know not what we ask for.
3. Congrats to both teams for making it. You beat every opponent put before you. If people don't like that, maybe their favorite team should pay for better recruits too.
4. I am sad to see both teams struggled so much. It happens. Was it a lame culmination? Sure, how dare these 19-21 year olds not deliver as good a product as the SCRIPTED AND FIXED NBA does each playoff season. Nonetheless, they deserved to be there. No poll gave them that game and no man made computer generated completely arbitrary and biased towards big conferences system made us have this game.And what did you expect, another epic showdown ending with a "what could have been" half-court three point miss?
5. For most of us, we are just upset our team wasn't there and our bracket had more red marks than our last math test.
6. I'd still rather have had that tournament than what the Bowls give us each season or any other scenario we might come up with.
7. And finally, I hope this shows the NCAA that a 128 team tournament is a horrible idea.
So here's to 100 more years of Zebra Pen's and the CBI Tournament!
