Frank was easy to like, even as a Purp (since Bill liked him so much). But since he's left, I've come to admire and like him that much more. He's just a salt-of-the-earth guy. A guy what would be a blast to just throw a couple back with.
I wish him and SC the best in the tourney. As noted before, I'd really like to see them shock the world and win it all--not only because it's Frank, but just to show what a complete crapshoot this 6-game tournament can sometimes be.
Barring that, go Gonzaga or Oregon. Anyone but the Holes...
