Anyone know any good recipes for crow?

” … the University of Kansas, which will no-doubt soundly defeat Bradley University in the opening round of the NCAA basketball tourney on Friday. Hell. Kansas will be ahead 20 points at the half.”

Yeah. I really wrote that. In the real world, Bradley lead by 10 at the half. And they won 77-73.

Would you believe I always knew Bradley would win, but I didn’t want to jinx them by predicting victory? Yeah, that’s the ticket. You see, I’m the guy who said that Tiger Woods was overrated and predicts the Cubs will win their devision every year. If I had predicted a victory, Bradley would have won.

Therefore, I claim full responsibility for Bradley’s win over the Jayhawks.

Now where’s that BBQ sauce?

    As a fellow CUB fan, I forgive you. Go BU (and Richwoods)!!!

    I still can’t believe BU won but I will be pulling for them against Pitt

    …not to forget, unlike the local media, the ICC (which does not have an endowed “Donald V. Fites chair of economics’) women (who do not have no show jobs at Star transport).

    If you are referring to the ICC Women’s basketball team, WMBD’s Ed Hammond did a half-hour at least with the team’s coach before the start of Sunday’s BU game.

    To be fair, the vast majority of ICC students do not bother to attend ICC games.

    It’s a shame, really, because both men and women’s teams attract some very talented players. And I challenge anyone to watch a women’s game live and not be excited at the action. It’s a different game that emphaszes ball handling a bit more than the men’s game, IMHO.

    [...] I ended up eating a tremendous amount of crow when BU did so well in the NCAA Tournament. That’s why I’m predicting another appearance next year. [...]
