The Final Four is set. Kansas, Kentucky, Ohio State and Louisville won their Regionals and advance to next weekend's Final Four in New Orleans. Unlike 2010 and 2011, when mid-major "Cinderellas" Butler and Virginia Commonwealth shocked the world and advanced to the Final Four, the 2012 Final Four field is comprised entirely of the usual suspects.
Louisville competes in the Big East Conference, but geographically, the East Coast is entirely shut out. Three of the four teams come from schools within 100 miles of Cincinnati, Ohio. The fourth, Kansas, comes from the heart of the heartland. It's an entirely Midwestern and Mid South Final Four.
Syracuse was the top-seeded team in the Tournament, but Syracuse alumni who work in the national sports media (in other words, most of the national sports media) will have to content themselves by pulling for Louisville to defend the Big East's honor. Casual fans who've enjoyed rooting for Cinderella "Davids" (i.e., Butler) to knock off college basketball "blue blood" "Goliaths" (i.e., Duke and Connecticut) in the last two NCAA Championship games will be faced with the likelihood of watching "blue blood" Kentucky play "blue blood" Kansas for the right to hand yet another NCAA Championship banner in the rafters.
On a more personal level, Drive and Dish editors will be stuck at a wedding in south Georgia while Saturday's games are being played. But if we get the chance, we may try to hit Interstate 10 on Sunday morning and see if we can get to New Orleans by evening. If so, we'll be hanging around the Final Four for Monday's Championship game.

Parlay Larry is gay!
who teh hell is parlay larry???? come to think of it, i guess the better question is can he coach basketball???? we need a coach real bad. rite now well take just about anybody.....it don't matter what side of the fence he swings on. (not thet theres anything wrong with that).
come to think of it, if this parlay larry person is gay, that prolly counts as a positive for the hole diversity/affirmitave action requirement. if he's black, it just that much better. i wanted brad stevens in teh worst way, but now that he turned us down, we prolly still have to take diversity in to account to keep the board of trustees off our back. hopefully we take a long look at this parlay larry guy. eccspecially if he's a gay black guy.
We just need a coach, period. But I want Reggie Theus.
Something was preventing me from breathing right
It kept me from falling asleep last night
My nostrils were plugged, and of no use at all
I breathed through my mouth; it felt like a cotton ball
Now you probably can't imagine the conflict that arose
Once I realized that the solution was to start picking my nose
For at my Nose Pickers Anonymous meetings, I'd promised to abstain
Well, that went out the window when the oxygen stopped getting to my brain
So I dug in my nose for the better part of an hour
Not a millimeter of my nostrils would remain unscoured
But like Captain Ahab, I was eluded by a Great White booger foe
And without catching it, there was no chance of restored nasal airflow
What happened next is what I suspect you're probably all itching to hear
You're probably wondering how I eventually got my nose clear
Well, just as I was close to surrendering in defeat
I pulled out a booger that was like a thick slab of red meat
And after admiring it for a moment in utter disbelief
I chowed down on that bad boy as if it were a fine cut of beef!
i think parlay larry is a mythical creature or simply just an alien
OMG!!! I just heard that all the high school studs from Chicago are excited about John Groce because his teams run and gun and let guys do there thing with the ball. I don't want to get too excited but ... I'm starting ... to ... get ... chills. I'm ... starting ... to ... hyperventilate. My ... hands ... are ... shaking ... and ... my ... knees ... are ... turning ... into ... jello. OMG!!!! OMG!!!!
I'm starting ... to ... like ... John Groce ... more ... alot! I'm ... getting ... close ... to ... joining ... the ... Groce ... army!
I'm not in love yet, but I'm ... starting ... to ... get ... butterflies!!!
If Groce starts pulling stud recruits out of Chi Town, I ... will ... jizz ... in ... my ... pants!!!
Kansas St. just hired Bruce Weber to replace Frank Martin. I can't believe anybody else would hire coach Clown Shoez, let alone another BCS school. Figured if Brucie got another chance it would be back at SIU or at some other mid major school in the Missouri Valley or the MAC. What do ppl see in him??? Don't they see how he ran us into the ground for nine yrs??? KSU is use to NCAA tournaments. Hope they get use to the NIT cuz that's where clown shoes will have em every year (IF there lucky). Can't wait to see Bill Self eat clown shoes's lunch in conference two times every year. Kansas State just lost a kick arse coach and replaced him with a castoff from one of the Dumb and Dumber movies. Srsly, WTF KSU!?!?!?!? Don't say I didn't warn you people!!!!!!!!!!
everybody loves that dinosaur
Anonymous, Dude, check out this bitchin' tunage. Awesome to the max.
im just hangin out here in the winn-dixie parkin lot off university blvd in jacksonville......chillaxin and walkin up to all the carz that drive up with dudes in em. i need $25 dollerz and a ride to the university.......u want a date???
Coke spoon Kelli, um, I might be looking for a date, or, um, a massage, or something. How much for, um, a massage with, um, a happy ending???
I'm back here in Vegas playing a trifecta right now. Just massively over tipped the cocktail waitress Bridgett. OK, I admit it. I'm tryin to get in her pants. LOL. Forget that stuff about picking up coke whores for "massages" with happy endings. I was just drunk and tired. Didin't know what I was writing. LOL. Didn't even see coke spoon kelli was in Jacksonville. I wasn't even anywhere near there, so obviously I wasn't trying to pick up any hookers in grocery store parking lots. Just a big misunderstanding. LOL.
