Or something like that? For the life of me I never even considered the possibility that my alma mater, Binghamton University, would end up going to the NCAA tournament; when I was there the hoops program was a mediocre Division III affair that would attract a couple hundred fans to games at most.

But since our drive for sports fame has already produced the requisite embarassing media coverage of player arrests, lowered academic standards, pressure on professors to raise grades, etc., it seems like at the very least we should enjoy this brief moment in the sun, which will likely set around 9:50 PM EDT on Thursday in Greensboro.
