It figures! BOTH of my teams finally have good seasons, make it into the tournament at the same time… and they have to play each other in the opening round! What the hell???

UNLV really got screwed, as usual: a 7 seed (way too high for such a good team) and getting Tech in the first round (definitely the most dangerous 10-seed in the entire tournament). just more payback from the NCAA for stuff that happened almost 20 years ago (Tark Rules!!)

Anyway, despite being raised a Runnin’ Rebel fan, I of course have to represent tomorrow… even if it means getting my ass kicked by an angry mob of locals who’ve waited 16 years for another good UNLV team. It’ll be interesting to see what happens when i’m the only person wearing Georgia Tech stuff… and rooting wildly for them… in a room filled with thousands of diehard Rebel fans…. half of whom will be drunk by 9am…

So here’s my prediction for this NCAA tournament: The Yellow Jackets will make another run to the Final 4, just like they did in 2004. This team is better than that team in many ways… especially on the offensive end…

By the way… TO HELL WITH GEORGIA… AND DUKE TOO!!
