Let's break down the final game:
- Best Weather: Syracuse ice
storms, Kansas twisters. After an ice storm, at least
you still have your house in one piece and at the same
address. Edge - Syracuse.
- Best Coeds: Never had to date a coed
from Kansas, and everyone knows the best Bada-bings come from
the north. Edge - Syracuse.
- Best Mascot: If I had a Jayhawk
I'd probably shoot the bugger for being so ugly, but an
Orangeman sitting in my living room makes me slightly
uncomfortable. Edge - Kansas.
- Best Food: Kansas Rib Eye steak versus
Saranac beer. Edge - Syracuse.
- Best Lake: Kansas - Wilson Lake
& Bowladrome. Syracuse: Lake Ontario. Edge -
Syracuse.
- Best Interstate: Kansas, I-70.
New York Thruway, I-90. 90 is more than 70 (except at
SEC schools). Edge - Syracuse.
In the I TOLD YOU SO category: No 'scuse - Carmelo to rule, and
Syracuse to win, 80-75. The actual final was 81-78.

In other Final Four action, the "Frozen Four" for NCAA Hockey
has been set. The STPA Conference (Schools That Popolo Attended)
continues its college hockey dominance over Boston College, this time with
Cornell handing BC a crushing
double-overtime defeat down at the Dunk in Providence. The Michigan
Wolverines (11-time National Champions) as expected will be
appearing in their third consecutive Frozen Four by soundly trashing #1
seed Colorado College. The two other teams appearing in the Frozen
Four will be UNH and last year's champ Minnesota, but can these two
imposters overcome the force and psychological dominance of the STPA
Conference? Maybe when pigs eat my brother. But we'll find out
on April 10. The prediction here is that Cornell and Michigan will
share the championship trophy by tying 5-5 in the championship game after
16 overtime periods.
