    And I still do NOT like Nantz's voice superimposed over the starting lineups.

    Well, that was a hackneyed, cliche-ridden speech by Bill Self. If I had to guess based on that, I'd say the Tigers will win.

    Seriously, I think he hit every cliche in the book. This is a night you'll always remember. We just have to be ourselves. Go out and have fun. I want to thank you in advance ... he knew the cameras would be there and all he could do was cut together a clips show of the worst pregame speeches he's ever heard? What is this, the 100th episode of Bill and (Jeremy) Case?

    Agreed. And why do they have Nantz do the announcements? Did he tell the crowd "Hello Friends" before announcing the players?

    I don't think it's superimposed. I think it's announced over the PA by Nantz-y pants himself.

    Sucks to be a burgeoning college hoops fan under 14. You can watch the entire tournament ... except, you know, the championship game.

    9:22 EST. GET. ON. WITH. IT.

    Oh, and I don't care who wins tonight, the MOP of the tournament was Stephen Curry. I'd love to see them acknowledge what a lousy Final Four it was and announce him as the winner while all the Tigers and Jayhawks stand around with looking shocked.

    You are correct. Play this game on a Friday or Saturday if you are going to wait until this late.

    What'd she go with? "Boom goes the dynamite?"
