A blue jay would easily beat a cardinal in a fight

A blue jay would kick a cardinal's ass in a fight. Even though the Louisville cardinal has teeth, blue jays are, are much bigger. They're super, super aggressive.

Subjective comparison of bird species aggression and size.

Ryan Odom will not be the head coach at VCU next year

This will be his last time at VCU no matter what... I'm reporting this. He will either be going to Villanova or Virginia after this year. He will, this is his last ride with VCU.

Ryan Odom left VCU after the 2025 NCAA Tournament to become the head coach at Virginia, not Villanova or Virginia as Max predicted. He went to Virginia, which was one of the two destinations Max named.

The NCAA selection committee accidentally swapped Memphis and Louisville

Memphis, I am choosing to believe this because it is crazy... people are saying that the committee, they accidentally swapped him. Louisville has a better net RPI, KenPom, T-Rank and higher in the ESPN BPI rankings in every category. But Memphis is the higher seeded team. I choose to believe that too because it makes no sense other than they just accidentally messed it up.

While analytically true that Louisville is better, the committee usually claims seeding is based on their own criteria, and 'clerical error' is speculative.

Florida can win the national championship because they can shoot threes now

Florida though, I've been talking about Florida for three weeks. They could shoot threes now. They absolutely kicked [Arkansas's]... They just throttle teams. All four of [Duke, Michigan, Arizona, Florida] would be the best team in the previous five years.

Whether Florida wins the title or performs as an elite team will be decided by the end of March Madness.

Miami of Ohio will make the tournament even if they lose in the conference tournament

I'm saying right now, winning every... If they go undefeated in the conference, that is so hard to do. I think if they go undefeated in the conference and then lose in the conference tournament, I think they will be in.

This will be resolved on Selection Sunday, March 15th, 2026.
