Interesting piece. I really had no sense how the tournament had developed in the decades prior to going to 64 teams.

Speaking of classy Wolverines, congratulations to our main man, Dylan, on his graduation this weekend. Just don't let finding/keeping a job get in the way of regular blogging, young man.

Rematch of my desktop background?

The interesting bit of the talk about the Big 10/ACC challenge was the idea that whomever among the OSU, Purdue, MSU group who doesn’t go to Duke will probably get Maryland. Might the solar system-wide leader (don’t hide your light under a bushel, ESPN) prefer to sell a Spartans-Terps rematch of the great tourney game? At the link, Bob Baptist says none of the big three have ever played Maryland in the challenge.

I tend to think OSU will likely get pushed down the list, with Purdue getting to go to Duke and MSU getting Maryland.

Also, I caught one of the ‘Big Life, Big Stage, Big Ten’ ads on BTN featuring an MSU golfer (whose name I don’t remember, making the spot difficult to find on the web on I’d be somewhat non-laconically linking to it) and she relates that her recruitment to MSU involved coming to campus, meeting the golf coaches and a 45-minute chat with Tom Izzo. So, Izzo was recruiting for the women’s golf team in his abundant spare time. If we needed a somewhat odd off-seaons reminder of the awesomeness of Izzo, here we are. That sure seems like a guy who’s very giving of his time and very much about helping MSU in all ways. Or, just what we’ve always seen from Izzo.
