In basketball - people who aren't from Kansas really don't care all that much. I know you have a hard time wrapping your mind around that. Personally, I don't really care about a game that women can play as easily as men.

I know KU can play anybody, that a no doubter. I was wondering who KU might play was the question. If they were to play USC, that would have been a very tough tough tough challenge. But once I found out that it was VT, I knew KU has a chance, becuase of VT's ineptness on offense.

I hope it's the beginning of many big games...

I thought OSU, Illinois, Hawaii, WVU (I'm not much for the Big East), and Kansas would all get blown out... I was obviously very wrong about WVU, and I'm glad I was wrong about Kansas. :)

Edit: My real thought on Kansas was that they lucked out in getting VTech... I knew it was Kansas' best possible matchup, but in the end gave into the 'can't play with the big boys' hype.

I talked NO smack at all - the field did the talking.

KU is respected nationally on that level. That's something you can't say for Mizzou football, and probably won't be able to for a very, very long time.

Granted, I'll have a chuckle whenever you run into whoever is this year's Bucknell, but when it comes to watching a sport, basketball means next to nothing to me. I've been to three or four games in my life, and the last one I attended featured Michael Jordan wearing a Bulls uniform.

I grew up somewhere that had professional football and baseball teams. Sorry.
