Ugh...  Good for these teams but... this blows as sports fans

Sports Radio had a great point today, everyone cheers that Butler made the final four, but then questions why when they watch them play.

Why?  They're a pretty good team to watch.  They play defense, hit their shots, and don't turn the ball over.

George Mason did the same thing... and we watched what happened to them.

Although I will guarantee that Butler's fate won't be the same as George Mason, Butler won't be embarrased, and in fact, I am picking them over Michigan St.  although I know this is a dumb idea since Izzo never loses in the tournament.

I frackin love MSU and apparently they are good enough to find a way despite injuries.

It is better to be fearless and cheerful than cheerless and fearful.

You can hate Mich State, but you have to respect what they have accomplished the last 12 yrs. Have to hand it to Izzo.

Gotta hand it to Izzo and the Spartans. 6 Final Fours in 12 years is amazing, not to mention in every one of those Final Four years they had a major injury, or were the perennial underdogs. I don't know how but they always sneak up on you, even though by this point we should all expect them to be in every Final Four.

MSU vs Butler is going to be a WAR.... 

and actually MSU is playing better without Lucas....   and Butler, ...  you don't beat teams like Syracuse and K State with mirrors.. they are for real... 

If Howard stays in the game enough Butler will win it all. ;D
