If you've come here for actual NCAA Tournament Bracket analysis, come back tomorrow. Plus, who's really interested in who I think is going to win and why? I'm not even that interested.
But that doesn't mean we can't have any bracket fun. Around the Web, you'll see brackets based on mascots, ...

First off, I want to start by saying anyone who advocates expanding the NCAA Tournament field from 65 teams to 96 teams is a moron. This isn't little league. We don't all get participation ribbons.
And I know there were opponents to the expansion to 64 back when it was introduced, ...

We’ve hammered home the realization that my alma mater Indiana University is not going to make the NCAA Tournament this month. That is unless the Hoosiers miraculously win the Big Ten Tournament. But I’m not holding my breath. Stevie Wonder has a better chance making it out of a maze.
But ...

I was first introduced to Art Parakhouski during Championship Week last year. The Radford center single-handedly transformed the Highlanders from a 10-20 cellar dweller in the Big South to the conference’s champion in his first season at the school. The 6-foot-11 center scored 26 points and pulled down 18 rebounds ...

As a Big Ten basketball fan, I feel spoiled. Not only is the Big Ten the most competitive conference from top to bottom, it has the best coaches and its own beautiful, everything-in-HD channel. Seriously, almost every night there’s a game in the conference worth watching - that is unless ...

Now that Tyler Hansbrough and his North Carolina Tar Heels won the NCAA Championship last night, an interesting discussion is about to ensue. Just where does Hansbrough fall in the history of all-time great college basketball players?
I think I've got a pretty good handle on the situation.
Love him or hate ...

It's taken quite some time but the state of Michigan finally got some good news. As I'm sure you've heard, Sunday afternoon the Michigan State Spartans knocked off Louisville to win the NCAA Tournament's Midwest Region and head to the Final Four in Detroit. In the process, the Spartans made ...

On this week’s episode of Roommates:
It’s Sunday night. One of my roommates is having a girl over for a movie. I happen to have more than 250 films at his disposal for “Movie Night.”

I guess you could call this a running diary, but it's really more just my thoughts as the games progress. There will be very little rhyme or reason to the updates, they'll just arrive as things come into the cosmic skull jelly that rests between my ears. Enjoy.

Ah, it's time for the NCAA Tournament to tip-off, otherwise known as Christmas to sports gamblers. Here at Rumors and Rants, we love to gamble. We usually just don't have any money to do so. And that's not always a bad thing. The last successful bet yours truly placed was ...
