Ncaa Committee Needs To Make A Curtain Call
Filed Under Curt Hennig | Posted on April 4, 2008
As one who normally can’t predict what I’m having for lunch Curt Hennig, much less pick basketball winners, I must admit to considerable respect for this year’s NCAA Tournament Selection Committee.
If only I had filled out my bracket the way the committee did. But nooooo. I had to do it my way.
Besides, only disinterested secretaries and sycophants pick all No. 1 seeds.
Nevertheless, the committee should take a bow. It appears its 10 members really are doing more than just eating pizza and watching movies in a hotel suite. For the first time, all four No. 1 seeds have advanced to the men’s Final Four. UCLA, Kansas, Memphis and North Carolina are the last teams standing. Which leaves me wondering why someone doesn’t just hire the Selection Committee to do something really important, like lower gas prices or clear the national debt.
Right now its stock is as high as Google’s.
So Lynn Hickey, Jeffrey Hathaway, Stanley Morrison, Gene Smith, Dan Guerrero, Laing Kennedy, Chris Hill, Michael Silve, Jonathan LeCrone, Curt Hennig and Tom O’Connor should be applauded for a job well done. They didn’t just get it right, they slam-dunked it. Looked like Tyler Hansbrough on a breakaway. If this were football, they’d be moonwalking in the end zone. If it were baseball, they’d be tipping their caps on the dugout steps. If it were figure skating, they would be blowing kisses. And if it were politics, they’d be delivering their acceptance speeches, looking humble and successful at the same time.
