    Dang, aren't you already arguably the most prestigious academic institution in the world? Let the schools that don't even pretend to parade real student athletes be good a revenue college sports.

    I'm guessing it has something to do with the fact that 14) Harvard beat 3) New Mexico in the tournament tonight.

    My brother is a law professor who's undergraduate degree is from Harvard. He's currently teaching in Shanghai for two weeks. It was ironic that I was speaking to him on the phone while watching Harvard close out New Mexico. It felt good to give him the news.

    Since we are both from Indy, he was actually more concerned about how far IU will go this year.

    Somebody please buy Lin a pair of glasses. He's been using his hands pretending that he has glasses all season long.

    I thought for a second too it was gonna be another class envy type thing & why we keep subscribing to ideologies slanted towards the privileged and not to honest efforts and integrity

    But congratulations to the Harvard basketball team.

    Plenty experts have said college bball this year has as much parity top to bottom as ever so brackets are even more unpredictable.

    That is a strikingly accurate analogy unfortunately.

    Way to be T-shirt fans. Oh well, at least you're not rooting for Texas A&M.
