madness...or reality?

in athletics, as in life, the midwest is a gigantic letdown. iowa, upset by #14 northwestern state. not even northwestern, which would've been bad enough. no, northwestern state is not the northwestern in chicago, its in bumfuck louisiana. moving on...#6 michigan state, losing to george mason. see ya elite 8 team. worthless bastards. next, oklahoma loses to wisconsin-milwaukee. wtf. to top it off, wisconsin, though not favored, lost to arizona. and lost is being generous, they got killed. northern iowa loses to georgetown, marquette loses to alabama, southern illinois to west virginia, and if you want to count ohio in the midwest, well then there goes xavier and kent state.

if the midwest were a fetus, there would be no debate...ABORT!


UPDATE: you can add kansas to the list of the extremely worthless (for the 2nd year in a row, nonetheless). i guess the intelligent designer can't watch over both the in-the-classroom activities and the extracurriculars.
