Never asked to dance -- [N'Western, Army, etc.] still dreaming of chance [at NCAAs]

Northwestern University and the U.S. Military Academy between them have produced two U.S. presidents, a Nobel Prize winner, a baseball commissioner, a Supreme Court justice, even a man on the moon.

What neither of these institutions has ever produced is a basketball team that made it into the NCAA Division I men's tournament. While they're not the only schools with that dubious distinction, they are big names in a relatively small club.

basketball is stupid: a self-esteem sport for non-hackers. What other sport has approx 100 goals per game? LOL. You can catch the last 5 minutes for the important stuff, cause most games are decided by 3 pts.

Last nights game:
We shoot, we score!
They shoot, they score!
We shoot, we score!
They shoot, they score!
We shoot, we score!
They shoot, they score!
We shoot, we score!
They shoot, they score!
We shoot, we score!
They shoot, they score!
We shoot, we score!
They shoot, they score!
We missed, they steal it...
They shoot, they score!
We shoot, we score!
They shoot, they score!
We shoot, we score!
They shoot, they score!
We shoot, we score!
They shoot, they score!
We shoot, we score!
They miss, we steal it...
We shoot, we score!
They shoot, they score!
We shoot, we score!
They shoot, they score!
We shoot, we score!
They shoot, they score!
We shoot, we score!
They shoot, they score!
We shoot, we score!
They shoot, they score!
We shoot, we score!
They shoot, they score!
We shoot, we score!

...Yawn. Zzzzzzzzzzz

On this note I would like to brag about my 4th grader's school basketball team that I coached. We won the conference championship today!

(Yes, I AM bragging)
