Recap
PFT CommenterUVA getting into the NCAA tournament is a disgusting decision
The sickest thing they did was put UVA in. Yeah, that's disgusting. UVA. So you should be ashamed of yourself.
Big CatSelection committees are bullshit and fans could do a better job
I'm convinced that all of these committees can be the job of the committees can be done better by like 75% of the fans... Just anyone who's been paying attention. I, I know for a fact I know college basketball guys who are way more informed about college basketball and who's good and who's bad than this stupid committee.
Big CatThe Bears organization failed Justin Fields
The Bears failed Justin Fields, it sucks that this is the way it ended. They set him up in a really bad spot in the fact that they drafted him with a coach that was already on the hot seat... Year two, the team was actively tanking... Year three, they were basically like, be so good Justin Fields that we will keep you go out and do it with an OC that doesn't really know how to use you.
Big CatJustin Fields will eventually beat out Russell Wilson for the Steelers starting job
I hope Justin Fields beats him [Russell Wilson] out. I think he's better than Russell Wilson right now... Once you watch Justin Fields versus Russ, it's gonna be apparent.
Big CatCaleb Williams is set up better than any number one overall pick in NFL history
I think the Caleb Williams might be set up better than any number one pick ever. And I know that sounds crazy because it's still the Bears... He now has a legitimate number one, he now has a legitimate number two in Keenan Allen. He has a top 10 tight end in Cole Kmet. He's got a running game... this is finally you've set up your future franchise quarterback to walk into a situation that he can succeed in.
Who Is Back
Big CatJoe Lunardi hates his job and should be replaced by Steve Kornacki
Joe Lunardi has to work three weeks a year and he said goodnight at 10:57 during conference championship week on Friday night when there was like six games left. What is up with this guy?... What he needs to realize is that with one snap of the fingers that freak Steve Kornacki could step into his job and do it better.

Jon RothsteinI wake up every day believing I have accomplished nothing
The only way I know how to live life is to go through every life, each and every day. Like I've accomplished nothing. And the way in life to accomplish everything is to wake up each and every day believing that you accomplish nothing.
Jon RothsteinDuquesne will upset BYU in the first round
My upset in this region is Duquesne beating BYU in an 11-6. I think we have to remember this and you guys get this. BYU for the most part was a team that was recruited to play in the West Coast Conference. And now you have a team in Duquesne who just won the Atlantic 10.
Jon RothsteinUConn will repeat as National Champions
I've got Yukon out of the region of Gladiators... I like Yukon over Purdue, Clingan against Edey, a Battle of the Titans in the title game, and Yukon led by Dan Hurley... becoming the first back-to-back national champion since Florida in 2006 and 2007.
Jake MarshNorth Carolina will win the 2024 National Championship
I had North Carolina winning the championship. Congratulations to the Howard/Wagner winner on beating UNC because that will be my trend of my champion being out day one.
