A different march madness

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. :slight_smile:

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.

  1. The President announces he’s bailing out 1213 and 2612, but insists on a merger and that I step down. :rolleyes: :wink: :eek:

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. :stuck_out_tongue:

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. :wink:

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

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.
