at last our long national nightmare is over

Good riddance. I tire of your pointless babbling and obvious homerism for the ACC.
I can recall watching OSU-FLA two years ago and finding that rather than acknowledge the repeat champion and the twenty point lead they had, Packer was busy championing Greg Oden, who did have a pretty good game..but his team was down 20!!!. Shut up idiot and provide commentary on the game. How if he was so great was his team losing? We don't know because Packer wasn't explaining it (well actual basketball observers like myself know, but casual NCAA fans don't). At about the two minute mark it was like someone in the truck told him that Florida had won the year before, the major players had all stayed in school another year, and they were about to win again. This was the story the entire game, but somehow it wasn't really mentioned. What a great commentator.

The next great issue is where Packer spent an inordinate amount of time during every bracket selection wondering why more ACC teams didn't get in. Well they were the top RPI conference, blah, blah, blah. Meanwhile, I cannot recall any serious basketball junkie who fills out a bracket sheet ever looking at the RPI, the RPI conference ranks, or much of anything related to it (other than road records). The committee uses it in selection, but nobody intelligent looks it for picking out the sheet. Why should there be undue importance placed on something like that?
