So, Penn State's headed to the Final Four...

Honestly, if these brackets were any more lopsided, they'd tip over and fall on their face.

No intended disrespect to UNI or LSU or anyone else, but... PSU just unwrapped a Wonka Bar, and there was a big, fat Golden Ticket inside. Sure, Penn State still has to avoid Slugworth to redeem the ticket, as well as the candy-based pitfalls in the factory, but they should arrive in the glass elevator at the end.

And about UNI... - Yes, they're #5 in the country... I'm just not sure which country. And I love UNI. Love 'em. They are a mid-major that makes the world go 'round. But the RPI does not compute here.

Remember the Alamo? - Sure, we all do. But that's not going to help UTSA against Texas.

San Diego screwed by geography, again - Toreros are gonna have to move into top 15 status apparently to avoid having to play USC in one of the first two rounds. Of course, Washington and Michigan don't wanna hear it.

Welcome to the tourney, Coach Zimmerman - First time in the dance for Coach Zimmerman, but it doesn't look like she's eligible for Prom Queen, playing Hilbert's Harbingers of Doom in the first round, and if she wins that, facing Dunning's "14 Ladies".

Favorite first-round cage match? - Chan! Versus Rubio! Dosty vs. Moffett! Desert Wildcats vs. Suburban Chicago North Side Wildcats!!! Arghghghgh!!!

Next favorite - Missouri State vs. Auburn. Forget volleyball. Let's throw Benson and Stokes into the Thunderdome. Two enter. One leaves.
