[26 Year Gap]

Since the other thread changed direction I will make the following observation based on watching the selection show & ESPN afterwards. Packer started talking about the 4th bracket opponents and matchups [which had not been revealed at that point] when Jim Nantz was talking about the 3rd bracket. Then Packer went off on the committee for there being 4 MVC teams and 4 ACC teams & no Cincy. [In my estimation, he should be complaining about Seton Hall over Cincy].

Even though Vitale is obnoxious and needs a major lesson on the virtues of the AP arrow, if I had to choose which one stays and which one goes, Packer should start packing. Vitale even picked UConn to beat the Dookies so at least he can be SOMEWHAT impartial.
