Curses! The boys in maroon let me down

[ilex_cassine]

I was so excited to have MN in the tourney I raised my expectations a bit too high. I really wanted to leap out into the street and shout Goooo Gophers! as a kind of psychic come uppance for all the times I've had to endure UNC fans doing their celebratory nonsense. Oh well. Maybe next year. It is a darn good thing for MN basketball that they snared Coach Tubby from Kentucky, I expect that they'll actually make the tournament two years in a row (gasp!).

My bracket looks like crap even at this early stage. Good thing I'm not in a betting pool.
