A different march madness

[johnr]

I think teams in michigan need to contact a tv station or newspaper in the detroit area. I would think they would like a different angle to the final four.
Robotics March Madness

Good idea, but they're a little preoccupied with that other March Madness. MSU has a few more followers than Hot, Chickens and Delphi combined.

Seriously, watch what gets more airtime this week - basketball or car companies. I think we'll be terribly disappointed.

The possiblities are awesome, aren't they? Wouldn't it be great to see the following:

1. The rankings in the paper.
2. The elimination brackets in the paper and on TV.
3. An "all-state" robotics team.
4. Mr. Robotics or Ms. Robotics (akin to Mr. Basketball)
5. A column by Bob Wojnowski or that guy from the Freep on a sport that matters.
6. A Sports Illustrated writer gets lost on his way to Ford Field and ends up at EMU...

Someday....

I'm hoping basketball. I get enough about car companies from the newspapers. Don't need it wasting my channels too.

7. The President announces he's bailing out 1213 and 2612, but insists on a merger and that I step down.

Yup, that's just the culture that Dean set out to change. When sports becomes more important than people's livelyhoods, the culture is messed up. Although a little escapism is always good for the soul.

I like Ken's list - and I agree, someday ... Except the SI writer would get lost on the way to EMU and end up at Ford field for some hoops game that was going on.

As far as Jack stepping down - well, let's just say that one wouldn't make any more sense than the other canning that happened. Jack as a scapegoat - I suspect he's been called worse.

I'll gladly root for some Michigan FIRST teams while I'm in Atlanta, but this Saturday it's UCONN all the way!

Don't get me wrong, I hate it when basketball takes up 5 channels too. I just hate it when they force you to watch politics by having that everywhere.

PS: I say this about all presidents. I just hate when one person takes up all my channels. Oh well, at least there are cartoons.
