    Who woke up this morning thinking "I'm going to see a Frank Martin/Keith Olbermann comparison today!" or something like that.

    Nobody saw it coming. Well done.

    Has any team run its search any more poorly than Illinois looking for a basketball coach? Good lord, it's like a two-week circus of ineptitude.

    No, but there's a school almost every year that goes through the same thing. A program that is perceived as a top one that everybody and their brother seems to turn down.

    Well that's an interesting rationale considering Groce's best recruit at Ohio has been DJ Cooper - his point guard for both tournament teams in the past 3 years ... and is from Chicago.

    If we're talking about the towns themselves, I wouldn't call Manhattan to Columbia, S.C. an upgrade. Manhattan isn't Lawrence, Athens, Chapel Hill, Charlottesville, etc., but Columbia ain't exactly Madison or Austin either.

    Manhattan isn't horrible, but I would definitely rather go to Columbia, S.C.

    Yeah, neither fall into the Boulder, Austin, Athens, Chapel Hill category, but I still think Columbia is a pretty clear upgrade.
