Yeah - he put all of them into his shit talking neighbor - don't worry North's fine.

That's true, but I don't feel like being fair. My bracket is completely gone and I only have 2 grape flavored chick booze drink things and they taste like titty sprinkles.

If I'm often negative, but I'm often correct, maybe the emphasis should be placed on the silliness of the rampant homerism. Eh.

I still need a team to root for. What's the best story?

I knew the Longhorns would cave so I'm not surprised. They didn't win half of their conference games and shouldn't have been in the tournament.

It was fun watching Charles Barkley sweating through the upset bid against Auburn until they finally pulled it out.

But I was shocked to learn the Cavs were bitten by a bunch of dogs from Baltimore County - is THAT right??? Woof. North, I feel your pain.

Yeah, not like getting bounced by a buzzer-beater. Maybe Bennett was having flashbacks to his big tourney upsets while at UWGB.

I mean, i get it. This is the kind of thing that makes March Madness so special but for some reason it always seems like the teams i like want to make history for all the wrong reasons. Lol

UVA will always be remembered now as the first team to lose to a 16th seed as a #1. FML

Oh, and MO i dont appreciate you laughing at my misery!

Sadly, these are the types of losses that can cripple a school for a long time. This wasnt just a loss, this wasnt just a blowout loss to a 16 seed but a loss that was historic. Even Arizona getting pummeled by 20 to Buffalo seems small in comparison to what happened last night. Much like UVA football, UVA basketball relies solely on "positive" things to keep the school moving forward in athletics.

Mainly with recruiting and emotional mentality. Im afraid this loss will extend well beyond this year and have an impact going forward. Even to the point where Bennett may end up leaving to try and escape the embarrassment of last night. Perhaps the UVA women's basketball team can save a little face at this point.
