Shaka Can.
The media was sure treating today’s VCU-Kansas game as a foregone conclusion. Am amazed no one referred to VCU as “sacrificial Rams.”

Shaka Smart is a mixed race man, raised by his mother and given an African name by his father. Considering how upset some betters (and big school alums) must be it’s a good thing there’s no rule that the coach of a final four team needs to be born in the U.S.

All these pundits who say VCU didn’t belong in the NCAA tournament may be right. Maybe the Rams should have been picked for the NBA playoffs?

Rumor had it Kansas was trying to find out if Pat Summitt was available at halftime.
ESPN’s Dick Vitale said before the tournament “Look at Colorado’s résumé, look at UAB and look at VCU, it’d be an M&Mer — a mismatch, man. It would be like a beauty contest — Roseanne Barr walking in versus Scarlett Johansson. No shot, none whatsoever.”
I hear Scarlett Johansson just showed up in a VCU jersey.

You have to feel a bit for Butler. This will be their first tournament game as the “over-dog.”
Suddenly having one team left in the Final Four (Kentucky) doesn’t feel quite so stupid. (And I did have VCU over USC in the play-in game.)
Harry Wesley Coover Jr., known as the inventor of Super Glue, has died. He was 94. Funeral arrangements are pending, although instead of hymns the organist plans to play versions of “Together Forever”, “Can’t Let Go,” and “Stuck on You.”
Pepsi is coming out with a new bottle made entirely from plant material. – switch grass, pine bark and corn husks. Sounds like consumers might be better off throwing out the contents and eating the bottle.
Newt Gingrich says “I am not a hypocrite,” in response to queries about how he could have condemned Clinton while having his own affairs. I think I even like Nixon’s “I am not a crook” better.
Thinking about Geraldine Ferraro and realizing there were parallets between the 1984 and 2008 Presidential elections. Two candidates losing in the polls went for a “Hail Mary” and picked a woman running mate. Although Walter Mondale at least picked one with brains.

They don’t have VCU jerseys in Roseanne’s size?
When Dick Vitale starts yapping, he never stops. I think he breathes through his ears.

I want to see all the “experts” own up to the fact that thay totally missed the boat on VCU and Butler. Nonetheless, this has been one the strangest tournaments I’ve ever seen. VCU’s win sets up a historic game with Butler, two unranked teams in Final Four game. This occurrence says a lot about college basketball today, anyone can win it all.

George Coover, the man who invented super glue, has died. The last thing he heard was “Hey George, I hope you don’t mind, but I switched hard hats with you.”

New NCAA Men’s Basketball 2012 Bracket based on the success of VCU and the ratings of the 4 play in games, next year’s tourney will expand to 88 teams. Of course they will have to expand the playdown numbers to The Sweet 28, The Elite 13 Plus Ties and of course the Final Four with two play in games on the Final Friday.
