The Big East Tournament.

Is ridiculous, and not in that way where you call someone ridiculous becuase they are really good like "Lebron is ridiculous, yo," it's more like "Billy Gillispie is a ridiculous coach," or "Jed is a ridiculous person." It's kind of like the Regan bit about the ice cream servings; somebody in the Big East office drew up a screwy bracket where some teams get two rounds off and then said "I was just joking but now its going out that way." Unless I've miscalculated, and its possible b/c there are a lot of teams to count, they have 16 teams. That could easily be worked into a 4 round bracket with no byes. Before we have any complaints about how that wouldn't be fair to the conference winner, whoever they were, that team would get DePaul in the first round, which is probably even better than a bye, and then the winner of Prov./Cincy, who they will play in their first game anyway. What this crappy setup allows us is an extra day of ESPN felating of the BE and inevitably letting Mike Ditka and Barry Melrose weigh in on how many bids they'll get.

Thank God, because as a frustrated Kentucky fan, I need something else to occupy some of my hatred right now.

The only thing missing from the BET is a catchy jingle like the Metro used to have

A-Train

The jingle should be to the tune of "We in da Libatee Bowl," and really should just be that whole song.
