With the Terps winning and Florida State losing it really improves their chances of betting a bid. They're on the bubble big time. They pretty much have to beat Boston College to make the tourny. I hear Tony Kornheiser say they may be anywhere from a 12 to 9 seed if they make it in.

Yeah, I was definitely rooting for Wake yesterday. But Cuse winning and GW losing was bad news for bubble teams. Hopefully the Terps will play as well as they did last night.  Korneheiser thinks they should already be in...

He's the balding guy from PTI (ESPN, 5:30 EST). He also writes for one of the Washington newspapers. Additionally, he's going to be one of the announcers on Monday Night Football.

Kornheiser has long been vying with Joe Theismann for the top spot on the GGW Most Hated Sports Personalities List.

I'm a fan, and if they beat Wisconsin tonight, they should be assured of getting in, they might get in with a loss, but they will definetely be a bubble team. If they do, I'll thank Gonzaga for winning their championship by one point.

Those Cuse fans are idiots - which helps explain why they're Cuse fans.  The rivalry is alive and well and tonight's game should be one of the best, if not the best, of the week.  Both teams are solid (but erratic) this year and w/ both teams having talent returning and great classes lined up, and w/ the Big East emerging (again) as the best conference in College BB the GU/Cuse rivalry (two years removed from Esherick, and into what will be a legendary career for JTIII) is now as good as ever and getting better.

on the drive across country, i got to listen to alot of the dan patrick show. somehow, dan patrick was able to get the espn honchos to let keith olbermann come in everyday and do an hour or so with him.  so, it's keith olbermann and dan patrick, and they do an interview with tony kornheiser.  apparently, kornheiser got a letter from espn honchos telling him that he (kornheiser) is the the most difficult on-air personality in espn history.  needless to say, olbermann was quite upset and envious of that letter.

I spent a couple years living in that area and while I have nothing negative to say about Syracuse, it doesn't even compare to DC.

it's hard to explain the kornheiser phenomenon ... i think his best format is his morning radio show, although i like him on PTI as well ... he's definitely an aquired taste, but he's a really unique personality and you can get addicted to his radio show pretty easily (ala Howard) ... i can definitely see why people hate him though, and he's really less of a sports guy than just an all-around radio personality, 75% of his charm has nothing to do with sports
