College Hoops

I am Orso'Grande.

The Gentleman Farmer has sat at my knee for some time now and learned about college basketball. He's asked me to post now and again (more or less weekly when we really get going) and give you advice and commentary on the game.

I'll have more for you later but, just so it's clear that this will be no cover-your-ass, namby-pamby sort of discussion, I'll give you my NCAA Tournament picks right now:

Duke, Stanford, Villanova, Michigan State, Texas, Boston College, Louisville, and Arizona will make it to the Elite Eight.

The Final Four will be Duke, Villanova, Michigan State, and Boston College.

Oh NO. A Wake Forest fan made it onto G&S? Wake Forest fans can read? I guess you learn something new every day.

Inre: Orso'Grande, welcome to the fold. I think it'll be a pleasant change from the standard banality that is normally G&S.

Why the scary face? It's almost as bad as the Inexplicably Mean Commentater.

The intersection involves various bear-like qualities, Italian, a girl, and preternatural knowledge regarding hoops.

Just sayin'.

This is ridiculous. This guy is some sort of eastern basketball fan, who doesn't know anything about the west, and maybe even less about the Big 10. He is a loser and a waste of time.

Ill have you know that Orso Grande picked 80% of the tournament games last year correctly, thinking about all the upsets how does that sound?

This bear must be from the future because every team he listed sounds perfect. everyone who said he was crazy is stupid and obviously doesn't watch college basketball.
