That's what everyone said last year, too. ;)

But I'm not totally against Hansbrough finally winning a NC. If my team can't do it, I'd be happy with UNC. Anyone but Louisville.

Yeah, that's what you guys said last year...

...Plus I just can't get over my extreme hate for Hansbrough. He's like the Tim Teabow of basketball for me.

I look at this long involved commentary and all I can think is 'Who the hell cares? All I know is that Obama looked totally adorable and approachable when he was joking on ESPN and telling UNC not to embarrass him in front of America and Holy Crap, I ACTUALLY LIKE MY PRESIDENT!!!!!'

In short, he can root for whoever the fuck he wants.

Maybe he picked UNC because he knows how much it would mean to us to have another reason to rush Franklin St. There is nothing like running half a mile while screeching "Hark the Sound" in the dark.

hmm...it didn't seem hugely conclusive to me... I mean 3 out of the first 7 are swing state bias, that isn't even half and then 1 out of 2 in the second round and that's it...

AND MEMPHIS IS THE BETTER TEAM! I love that Obama has us in the final 4 :)

Obama, bb, you know I love you...but you have KU losing in the Sweet Sixteen. I know we're a young team (and thanks for complimenting my bb Coach Self on TV), but I think we've got a shot against Michigan State.

And also, UNC taking it all? Really? I thought you had better taste.
