with so much good news, what is there to complain about?

Love the overall 1 seed. Really thought UNC would get it. But I like the nod. Probably doesn't really matter as long as we get dayton/indy. We've got a lot of good teams in the bracket, obviously, but it's the NCAAs, good teams are everywhere. I won't begin to complain.
So my only complaint is that now we've got the ESPN crews' collective slobber on our man parts. And I like it better when they are hating, though you wouldn't know it by my constant bitching. The good news is that everyone picks UNC to take the championship, so we've still got something big to motivate us.

There still are plenty of doubters
Seth Davis of SI and someone else from CBS (cant remember) are certain Wake will beat us.
Stay humble and hungry boys!

Also, the people think we're getting to the finals
The most common finals matchup in all of the brackets filled out on espn.com thus far have UL playing UNC in the final game, with UNC winning. So, I guess we really can’t use the “nobody believes in us” motivational routine until the final game because, well, people do believe in us — lots of people.

they don't believe we're the best team in the country.
in order to prove them wrong we have to win every game, therefore we get to use the “People Don’t Believe In Us” every single game.

Calapari
…there is always him to complain about. He was omnipresent all weekend, ducking-in to every half-time show, every NCAA basketball panel, Meet The Press, SportsCenter, did a quick spot on “American Idol,” and all in all dominated not only the airways in general, but my life. Hey man, would you let me b r e a t h e? I went in to shave this morning, and guess who was looking back at me in the mirror. Right, him.
I don’t know if you get the YES network out there, but he showed up on Mike Francesa (now there’s a guy I could actually beat playing one-on-one) and between Francesa (whose visage is featured next to “arrogant” in your wikopedia) and Cal performing a mutual star f**k on each other, it was…what word can I use….excessive.
Cal weeping about not getting a #1 seed, Mike figuratively (at least I assume so) stroking him off. Mike went on to characterize Memphis as an outlaw team, ala Vegas in the early nineties. After further review, it turns out that Francesa picked Memphis to win last year and he would have been right except for the disasterous last two minutes and that great shot by Kansas.
So e, there is always something.
And one very unscientific study….if you can remember when you were a kid, or if you have children now, I think you will find that your very worst nightmares would occurr when you had absolutely nothing to worry about.
My worst ones would always happen on a Friday night, when there was no school ahead to worry about, just a nice weekend. It’s almost like, if there’s nothing wrong, leave it to me to invent something wrong.

Oh, I have plenty to worry about...
- Morehead St. making history.
- OSU turning Dayton into Columbus for the weekend
- Jeff Teague going all Jeff Teague on us
- Michigan St. getting word that I’ve been trashing the Big Ten to my friends all year and getting all motivated.
- UConn figuring out how to play without Dyson and getting to the Final Four
- UNC
Yeah, I’ve got plenty to worry about. I just don’t have anything to complain about.
Complaining is what I do when my worries pan out.

Eric
I thought we weren’t gonna do this anymore.
We worried about all of these, or similar things, in the past, and to what end? Brings to mind, philosopher and part-time late 1970’s Yankee center fielder, Mickie Rivers, who pronounced:
“Ain’t no use worrying about something you can’t do nothin’ about; cause if you can’t do nothin’ about it, no sense worrying.”
and conversely
“Ain’t no use worrying about something you can do somethin’ about: cause if you can do somethin’ about it, no sense worrying.”
Yeah, OSU is a home game for the Bucks.
Yeah, the Saints could beat us.
Yeah, the MSU plodding game is a serious concern, and Wake is young.
I didn’t forget about NC.
And we could blame any loss that could evenuate on any one of these factors…but, this just in, other teams have factors to face, too.
But what the hell, for once, lets go through the barrier, not go around it. Maybe be a little less reactive. Maybe people will worry about us.
And if we get beat, so be it, that’s happened before, too…every year since ’86.

The only thing I worry about is
whether #1, #1, #1
will make our guys’ heads explode with ego
Whenever we have gotten praise this year, we have slacked off.
We had two slow starts the last two outings and still won.
Can’t have any letdown or walkabout at all now…
Eric, forget about Morehead/s. ala making history—
It’s the next 5 AFTER THAT….
but by gawd, IT’S DOWN TO 5 !!!

The Only Thing For You To Worry About
is if your $7.98 “1940’s Newsman Credentials” disguise kit (complete with “PRESS” Hat, baggy off-white zoot suit, half burned down White Owl panatella, manual Royal typewriter strapped to your back,), and your bold use of Sam’s media credential card, get’s you through security, and seated near the last man on the Cardinal bench.

That Was Supposed To Be For Frank, e
gosh, I’ve gotta take a remedial posting class….Now for you…let’s see…definitely you’ll be under the radar…you’ll flash your NCAA credentials (right out of the Cracker Jax box) to Dayton security, ask to see the “MCS.”….the armed gendarmes will ask, “What’s MCS?” You’ll act just a touch perturbed…a small sigh, perhaps…then, “Master Computer Server.” The guys from security will be quaking to the extent that their Brinks Blue uniforms will be soaked through. Now you’re in, and also in to the Press Box where you go on to turn that facility into Al Gore’s lock box. NOBODY gets in, and you are free to do the overthetop public address showing absolutely no Cardinal bias….“AAAAAAAAANNNNND NOOOOW, YYYYYYOOUUUUUUUURRRR LOUISVILLE CARDINALS.”
Have a great day.
