Dude, Nantzie, Take a Pill of the Chill Variety

By oddSeth ⋅ March 13, 2006 ⋅ Post a comment

While the Interwebs tells me that Jim Nantz is a University of Houston alum, I’m not buying it. Or maybe he had a really bad experience with an airplane while growing up, getting strafed by a crop duster, piloted by a dude named George. Something.

‘Cause man, Nantzie was angry yesterday when the selection committee worked its magic and put Air Force and George Mason into the tournament. And don’t get me wrong, I completely agree with him, as those teams shouldn’t be in the tournament.

But dude, this happens every year. Every year. You force the head of the selection committee to explain why (insert name of deserving team from a non-major conference) didn’t make it in, while (insert name of non-deserving team that plays in a major conference) made it in. And they mumble something, and you roll your eyes, and then we all get back to looking forward to tipoff, giddy as school girls.

What’s with all the ~~barely contained~~ anger this year, Nantzie? Something you want to tell us about? Get it out, big guy, don’t bottle up the anger and rage.
