Well, since ALSBTALK has been quiet on the issue, I thought I would liven things up by pointing out some obvious items with my fellow ALSB members (all in good fun!!)........

where is that powerhouse Indiana University in the NCAA's....eliminated.......where is the entire PAC 10....eliminated......where is the vaunted University of Cincinnati....eliminated....where are those Tar Heels....eliminated.....where is that Miami of Florida team....eliminated.....where are those Tennessee Vols....eliminated......where is the national runners-up Utah......eliminated....oh, my.......who could have eliminated mighty Utah, who had not lost since December?  Why it was little Miami University from the Mid-American Conference.........
Too often, we, who teach at places like Miami and Gonzaga and Southwest Missouri State, don't often get to run with the big dogs, athletically, that is.......well, the time has come....three #10 seeds, one #12 seed, and one #13 seed in the sweet sixteen!  Forgive our gloating....we don't get to do it that often.........but I will say this....Duke, watch out! Kentucky, beware! 

Wouldn't a #10 Gonzaga-#10 Miami-#12 Southwest Missouri State  combination in the final four just be scrumptious!!!!

Of course, reality may hit home big time this coming weekend....but it's been a wonderful run for all the little schools!!!

If your school isn't in the sweet 16, then root for the underdogs.......we need all the help we can get!!

For all the little dogs,
Dan Herron
Miami University in Ohio,  not that other one down south
