[NU Sports] HOOSIERS lives!

[neonrye at aol.com]

If Butler can (deservedly) make Final Fourt--which I just love--then NU is bound for dancing glory in 2011.  I am now going on record that we go to the Tournament next year.  There is a morning sports show in NYC called "Boomer and Carton", co-hosted by Boomer Esiason and a somewhat loundmouthed (but funny) guy named Craig Carton.  Carton's motto for NY Jets during their improbable playoff run this year was "Why not us?"  I say to all on the List that we adopt those 3 simple words as our mantra next hoops season, although I am happy to lend it to the Butler Frickin' Bulldogs for the next 9 days.  Since my bracket is busted anyway (i.e., even if my predicted champion, W.Virginia, wins, I think I lose anyway), I am now officially a Butler fan until the final buzzer and nets are cut down a week from Monday.   They remind me of the gridiron 'Cats in 1995--just keep winning and leave everyone scratching their heads.

I'll still cheer for MSU and the Big Ten, but you just had to have goosebumps 
oday watching Butler's win (and not just because they were one of the foes on 
ur dissed NC schedule).
It's just a perfect story that the school where "Hoosiers" was filmed, a school 
f 4500 students, will be heading home for the first Final Four in Indiana's new 
asketball palace (which, along with the gorgeous Conseco Fieldhouse was 
esigned to mimic Butler's historic Hinkle Fieldhouse).
The last time Hoosierland hosted the Final Four of their native sport, we had 
inderella George Mason, but this one has to be so much sweeter because it's the 
ometown team.
It's a shame Purdue and OSU (especially the Buckeyes who just looked spent and 
ave out at the end) couldn't win to make it a near perfect (no IU, so near) 
oursome with Butler and nearby Kentucky for Indianapolis. That town is going to 
e insane the next week!
As they say down there, in 49 other states, it's just basketball ...
GO BULLDOGS!!! Go little guy!!!
Go Big Ten!
O CATS!!!
