Great job, Butler!
I’m so very impressed and pleased by what Butler is doing this year, again. Under pressure, no matter what happens,they don’t quit.
Butler has a lot of fight in them but I think Arizona will be the champion on April 4th.
GO DAWGS! Best game I have watched in a long time. I hope Obama didn’t pick them. LOL
Obama’s bracket has gone south...notice how you aren’t hearing about it any more?
“This one is for all the small schools, that never had the chance get here...”
My favorite line, from one of the greatest movies of all time.
You just have to be from Indiana, before class tournaments began, to understand what this really means.

I can only hope.....they’re up right now on Connecticut...hope they don’t throw it away
He put his curse on Kansas.
Obama is like arsenic. Just one pick and you end up dead.
Poor guys. They know they are dead meat unless they renounce the curse of Obama. LOL
BTW; looked at your pics.....your mama must be VERY proud :)
The Gators flat out choked.
It’s true when Obuggery picks a sports team it is the kiss of death. In FB he picked Oregon and Pittsburgh.
ROTFL! He is a curse in more ways than one.
I don’t know why they settled for those three pointers.
I don’t know, you have a source for the food budget thingy?
Either way I like this, it’s what makes College Basketball special and far superior to the NBA.
The Curse of Obuggery!!!
They had a little help choking, despite the free-time out the refs gave them at the end.
Butler just eats up offenses, and makes every team they play look bad. That’s called COACHING...
That’s from last year’s Final Game. One of the CBS announcers used it to compare the two teams.
