Beast of an East Bracket

So I guess everyone has to play along with the, "we don't care who we play" and "you have to beat good teams" cliches, but - damn - how in the world does the overall #1 seed have to play the #3 team in the Big Ten standings (and tournament runner up) in the second round and then the winner of UVA/Florida - only to then get Duke?

The committee chairman never really did answer the question about how/why Duke wasn't the top #2 seed in the tourney. Of the 8/9 games, Villanova's is the one I would least like to face, except for maybe Michigan St.

Ugh.

Primary Him

Why is Joe Manchin still a Democrat? Why do Democrats care if he stays in the party? He's at best a swing senator. His daughter is a Wall Street Big Pharma profiteer. The Tea Party helped purge RINO's from the GOP. The Dems should do the same to this DINO.
