Bloomington, Indiana – College Basketball is upon us yet again. After these few pre-season tournaments, the big time programs will settle into their annual early season cupcake schedule. UConn vs. St. Teresa’s College for the Incontinent, UCLA vs. South East Underwear A&M, Georgetown vs. Wilson’s Barber College; well, you get the picture. After the January/February bloodbath that are most of the major conference schedules, all thoughts will turn to that jewel of all sports, the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament. To get a jump start on March Madness, and as a public service to all college hoops fans, I’ve comprised a simple yet challenging little quiz about some of our lesser known bracket busters. I guarantee one or more of these schools will make a run deep into the tournament and have you saying to yourself, “Self, where the H-E-Double Hockey Sticks is Samford?”. For your information, Samford University is located in Homewood, Alabama. I have comprised a list of 20 schools. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to name the city and state the school is located in without the use of Google Earth, Wikipedia, or any other reference. I was praying Cleveland State wasn’t in Cleveland, but unfortunately, it is. We’re talkin’ honor system here folks! One point will be awarded for each correct city and one for each correct state for a total of 40 points. Just reply with your total points (no answers please) and be honest Injuns. The winner receives dinner with The Matts on you.
A score of 0 to 10 means… You are a casual college basketball fan, are in a stable relationship, are fairly well educated, like animals, and read at least one book per year.
A score of 11-20 means… You are a sports enthusiast, are in a fantasy football league, go to the gym regularly, have a girlfriend/boyfriend but aren’t ready to commit, like small batch bourbons, and bowl once a year.
A score of 21-30 means… You are a sports nut, travel for work and consequentially just got dumped, live in a dwelling with at least two other people who you are not related to you, eat Buffalo wings because they’re low in carbs, and have a set of fresh stitches somewhere on your person.
A score of 31-40 means… You are sports obsessed, are starting your own Texas Hold ‘Em and Bass Fishing fantasy leagues, haven’t been on a date since the Clinton administration, live in your parent’s basement, and just put a spoiler on your Ford Focus.
Name the city and state for the following schools; Coppin St.
Drake
Old Dominion
The Citadel
Weber St.
Alcorn St.
Valparaiso
Austin Peay
Mount St. Mary’s
Xavier
Winthrop
American
Oral Roberts
Belmont
Creighton
Davidson
Butler
Wright St.
Bradley
NcNeese St.
Now have at it!
By the way, I consider myself a sports fan and before I did the research I quizzed myself and got a 4. I knew what states Old Dominion, The Citadel, Weber St. and Drake were in, but none of the cities. Answers will be posted late Sunday night.
This weeks NFL picks are the Colts (-4.5) at the BROWNS, The Giants (-3.5) at the REDSKINS and the PATRIOTS (-1) over the Steelers.
Happy Holidays
Rex

| As for Burress...he should have been sitting on an old chair when he shot himself like the NYC cop who won a lawsuit for 4.5 million for doing the same thing! |

joe's comment is clearly in first place today. clancy... more adoration points from the Cookie for using 'H-E-double hockey sticks.'
The Plaxico story is hilarious. Does he.. or any of the PR numbskulls around him think we are buying that junk? My brother's father-in-law's gun went off accidentally.. but he was sitting down and the gun was super old. Something tells me neither was the case with Plaxico in a nightclub.
The only excuse that might be plausible is that Plaxico thought he was going to a country/western dance club and was going to have a dance off with Yosemite Sam. After all.. Sam could get himself pretty far off the ground with moves involving those six-shooters.
Rex... I am totally ignorant of college hoops.. but manage to do well in pools when I enter them... hateful i know. What's your pick on the Jets/Broncs tilt? Could weather be a factor?
