Just wait until next year on ESPN.com when they claim Lunardi had 64 out of 65 last year like they do every year when he really has 62 or 63.

Truthfully it does not really matter because all of the teams we discussed probably would not get out of the opening week but the NCAA drives me crazy. Just like Billy Packer. Is there anybody that enjoys listening to him? He was bearable when it was him, Al McGuire and Dick Enberg but he not only is annoying to listen to, he is often wrong about his observations.

Case in point, the incident in the North Carolina / Duke game

Last year was awesome. He absolutely flipped out when George Mason and Wichita St got in the tourney. Outside of Dickie V being mad about Arkansas getting in this year I don't think I've even seen an analyst so upset as Packer was last year. Of course they only made it to the Elite 8 and Final Four respectively to expose Packer as the total idiot that he was.

He makes Brent Musberger seem competent.

I think he died ten years ago. It really isn't fair to expect Packer to perform as well as an animated corpse.

Musburger is a Big Ten homer. I think he's still got Henne's balls stuck in his dentures.

My brother and I saw Musberger sneaking out of an OTB in Indianapolis prior to Game 4 of the NBA finals in 2000. He apparently likes to bet on the ponies. That game ended up being incredible, as Sleepy Sam Perkins tied the game & sent it into OT, with the Lakers eventually winning & going on to the title. Reggie missed a 3 to win the game at the end of OT. One of the best finals games ever....except for the final result

That was awesome. I honestly thought that Jim Nantz was going to cry when Mason got in last year. They both ended up eating some major crow.

I wish Packer would die. (Well not really!) I can't stand his overwhelming egotisitical attitude.
