Admit it: your bracket sucks

Don't be "that guy" and claim that you predicted even HALF of what happened this past weekend. Throw away your bracket just like the rest of us. Got to the point I was afraid to dial up RichKern.com because I didn't know what I was going to see.

Wanted: PR flack for top volleyball coach; love of red a plus. - I think Cook is a good guy. Public speaking's just not his thing. At all. Not at all. No sooner had he inadvertently disparaged PSU's first round opponents and been eviscerated by VolleyTalk (as per usual), than the Huskers lost. In the first round. To Kansas State. AT HOME. I no longer trust the reality around me.

The Tar Heels did WHAT? - UNC, the Bill Pullman of the volleyball world, did the unthinkable and rocked the boat, beating Cal one year after the Golden Bears' finals appearance. It was UNC's battle speech in "Independence Day."

Ducks can't duck Rams - Oregon did a lot of great things this season, one of them not being drawing Colorado State in the first round.

Gophers! The little brown furry rodents! - Good on Coach Bush, in the rock / hard place position as Hugh's coach, for knocking off the GM2 Huskies in 5. But with Cook and McLaughlin out, who's going to scrap? Nina and Susie? Carlston and Hambly?

Texas A&M swept away by UK  - Honestly, the least surprising outcome ever. Aggies being seeded instead of Kentucky was like "Dancing with Wolves" winning Best Picture instead of "Goodfellas."

Ah, classic rope-a-dope from the Wolverines! - This has not been an outstanding year for Michigan. After a great pre-season, they went a disappointing 8-12 in the Big 10-11-12. Worst of all, there's been no follow-up to last year's YouTube smash "I Like It." But, they get in The Dance and bounce Stanford for the second straight year. Remember when Stanford used to win a lot more?

'Noles statistically lose -- yet win -- 5-gamer against Cincy - Getting 26 more kills and 28 more digs than your opponent is apparently not enough to win a match anymore, as Cincy rudely found out against the 'Noles. Cincy had 84 kills to FSU's 58, 92 digs to FSU's 64.

"...the Huskers lost. In the first round. To Kansas State."

Sorry [i]dotter[/i], it was the second round. They beat Jackson St in the first round.

Yet to further your point about The Cookster's public speaking woes, he did say that K-St never "took their foot off the gas" in his opening statement after the loss. Which given the circumstances involving Lauren last month, seemed like a poor choice of words. Gladly though, the Volley Talk vultures missed that one.

That whole Thursday/Friday action threw a lot of us off in regards to first round/second round.

Whoops. First round, second round. Either way, I think we should all steer clear of Cook until around April.
