Down South, the defending champ Sparts barely broke a sweat and now play Gonzaga who added another chapter to my beloved Hoos book of heartaches. Sigh, I hope the Zags lose their luggage on the way to Atlanta. The other half of this region has No. It's my newest fave five, those lovable Penn State Nitts, who planted Matt Choke I firmly in the ground. Yes, those are birds singing.
Spring is here, boys.
In the Midwest, the Fighting Politically Incorrects meet Kansas while Zona takes on Ole Miss down in San Antone. Wake Forest musta thought they were playing Bobby Bowden's Noles cause they got behind Butler 43-10 at halftime. Yep, the same Butler whose gym has the same measurements as the one back in Hickory. But by far the sweetest sight of all was watching Ole Miss with a black coach, Rod Barnes, and five black star players advance to Sixteenland for the first time ever. Maybe now the National Guard can help out with a parade instead.
