Yeah, you watch 30 minutes of a primetime game every two weeks and feel comfortable making blanket statements about every team in the country, while I try to watch as many games as possible and actually pay some attention to statistics. Very different.

I'm not sure how the hell anyone could think those two teams last year were anything less than great on defense if they'd watched anything more than the title game.

I'd like to apologize for never offering you anything to drink while you've sat in my living room and observed how much or how intensely I follow the game. Let's see, I think I've made statements this year about UNC, Duke, Pitt, UConn, Memphis, Oklahoma, and Kansas. Maybe a couple more. Yes, you're right. That's every team in the country. And my wife is going to be pretty upset that I use the DVR to record so many games and clutter it up and don't even watch them. Please don't tell her that I just record and erase and never watch them. Also, if you have any tapes of Memphis' run to the title game from last year, maybe you wouldn't mind sharing them with me since I neglected to watch them before the title game......even though it was probably the most excited I've been about any team's run in a long while, with them being my hometown team and all.

You are worse than I am.
Except I concentrate on the Big 12.

On which I will make 1 comment on my alma matre.
They played very well against Kansas 1st half.
They were a totally diff. team. It is a tiny ray
of hope in what was otherwise an extremely
dissappointing year.

Hook em.
Please.
