CouldThe World Handle It?

Seriously?

I just don't know why these local reporters don't cover or recognize basketball exists outside of the RDU triangle region.

Hi Guv

I tried and made it to the quote in your header.....stopped there.

Probably typical.....I feel for u to be surrounded by that.....would be,for me, like being stuck in Columbia, MO or the Little Apple OR only where I could get that rag called the KC Star!

Ugh.....stay strong, my friend!

Could CBS handle it? 2 schools who are not all that interesting to those outside of their area. I think there are far more "anti-Duke" fans out there, and a growing contingent of anti-UNC fans. The number of fans rooting for a meteor is growing, and you can fast forward the DVR to see who's cheerleaders are crying.

CBS likely wants the best ratings, which would mean two teams from different regions with a more diverse fan base.

Sounds like tobacco road schools think they are Notre Dame or the Dallas Cowboys.....I don't care for either of those teams either!

(I must be getting over my "cold".....crankiness coming back!!!)

This time of year the plebeians start attending to NCAA round ball and they only know the popular names (Puke, Tarholes, Kensucky) of which KU is included. I wear KU stuff most everyday and I get lots of comments from folks who obviously don't know Naismith, Phog, or even -- horror of horrors -- Wilt. They recognize the name and iconic mascot but often confuse KU with -- blech -- UK. Depending on my schedule, I try to give them a 30 second lesson on the history of college hoops starting with the good Dr. Naismith (court), moving on to Allen (field house), and ending with (the house built by) Wilt. I add that we have more than three NCs as KU hoops has been around longer than the NCAA, but by this time they glaze over.

Well, we know what's up! Rock Chalk Jayhawk, Go KU!!!!

I know! I was watching PTI yesterday and they mentioned something about elite programs or historically elite programs and said "like Duke or No. Carolina...perhaps UCLA". I'm screaming at the TV---UCLA????? and no mention of KU????? Sure UCLA has had its moments, but it terms of consistently elite, you can't forget about us!!!!
