    An Answer to Al Featherston

    Yes, I do remember Monty Python and the Holy Grail. I suspect I am not alone.

    Yes, it was a great movie (I have a copy of it on DVD) and a good article. Although I think Al made a similar mistake to the one he lamented by ESPN. By my count, the Colonial's record is currently 4-2, not 3-2 as Al reports, which would make the Colonial the third most successful conference this tournament, behind the ACC and the Mountain West.

    Except VCU is 3-0. If the ACC is 7-1 (as Al reports it is) you're counting Clemson's win in the play-in round. Why doesn't VCU's win over USC count just as much?

    Come and see the bias inherent in the system! They're being repressed!

    Because it hasn't got #### all over it

    Your mother was a hamster and your father smelled of elderberries.

    And Al's article was very enlightening just to misdirect this movie quotation sequence back on toepic.
