- ESPN production was some of the worst I’ve ever seen and it’s been awful over the years. Bad direction, screens weren’t working or on cue, no video packages or wrong video packages.
- Cotter, Quint and Carc were cringe worthy. Jay needs to work out. He is a becoming a huge boob. Would it kill him to wear a loafer or anything but sneakers ?
- ESPN clearly pulls hard for Norte dame and the acc but the committee seems pretty comfortable with their new friends at the Ivy League, whose pockets are deeper, the lax much better and the ivy so much more ivyer than the ACC or anywhere else on the planet for that matter
-Carc on ND was beside himself like telling him that they just sold out of breadsticks at the Bristol Olive Garden
- Maryland will clash with Virginia in the quarters
- was it just me or was it weird that they had a woman from the committee talk about the mens committee and a man talk about the womens tournament?
- can’t believe Harvard is in. Virginia unranked ?! Can’t wait for Penn vs Richmond

If you’re going with Darden Restaurant metaphors I’d swap the Olive Garden Breadsticks for this crack rolls they give you at Red Lobster…

Maybe this is the push for something other than RPI.

That would have allowed Army, Jax, ND, and Duke to participate making for a more interesting and talent-represented tournament for certain.

Exactly why I thought she was terrific. She listened to Carc's and Quint's petulant rants and told 'em why Duke and Notre Dame didn't earn a bid on the field. Wins and losses determine your resume, not how good Carc thinks you looked nor how many blue-chippers are on your roster. About time the committee looked behind the numbers to consider whom you beat and to whom you lost.
