thought this was funny

Georgetown. As you know, Georgetown students are some of the most pampered, repulsive rich kids ever to walk the face of the Earth. We're talking about kids who drive a pink Mercedes and keep an emergency pair of docksiders in the glove box. There has never been a greater cultural disconnect between a school's basketball team and its general undergrad population. Georgetown players may as well wear AAU jerseys on the court, they're so utterly divorced from the institution. And in a way, that helps their cause. Rooting for Georgetown basketball doesn't necessarily mean you approve of Georgetown in any other way, which is good, because @#$ those kids.

I had a good belly laugh over his UCLA entry: "Jim Nantz yearns for the olde tymes, when monopolies were legal and filthy groundworkers could easily be quashed by the ruling aristocrats. THEM'S WERE THE DAYS, FRIENDS."

and what's not to like about the Pitt entry? Spot on "8. Pittsburgh. At least this year, we won't have to pretend like Pitt will finally make some noise in the tournament. They can just take their crap seed and bow out meekly in the first round and we can pretend all this never happened. I have a soft spot in my heart for teams that are reliably terrible come tournament time. There are certain teams that will never ruin your bracket, and Pitt is one of them. There are very few teams like this. Most of them are all over the place. So I cherish the perennial chokers as I would a newborn fawn, or a box of Crunch N Munch."

Amusing quips. Almost devoid of any college basketball info.

This is the best one to me
15. Florida Gulf Coast. This is a school? Really? I like it when the tourney alerts you to a school's existence for the very first time. It's like the college literally appeared out of ing thin air. I can't even imagine what this school is like. The Gulf Coast of Florida is REAL Florida. All the men look like aspiring pro wrestlers. Every woman is trying to convince the lawn boy that killing her husband is the only way they can continue ing each other. I assume that FGCU allows you to major in both areas.
