A Message to Indiana State, Xavier, and Marquette, and the rest of the East Region

Good to see you again, Buzz Peterson, but the 'Cuse has something to say to you and these Musketeers and Sycamores:

I, of course, must question the commitment to this message of Mr. MacIntosh, known for such a hardcore allegiance to THEE Ohio State University that he wrote a piece defending Vernon Gholston's right to earn millions playing crappy defense in the NFL. Seriously?

Anyways, be on the lookout, dear readers, for the Manual Buzzer podcasts that will be taking place possibly before the first weekend, but definitely on the horizon for summarizing the action each weekend of the tournament. We will also be running a Bracket Challenge for the Buzzer, with absolutely no prize but pride and the ability to make fun of us mercilessly for how terrible our picks are. This is my favorite time of the year, but each Madness seems to take eight years off my life. I guess that's why I love it. You never know if you're going to get the coveted victory or the heartbreaking loss, but the experience is always damn fun.
