Sweet Sickness - That Side

May my love reach you all,
I locked in myself and buried too long.
Now that I've come to fall,
Please say that it's not too late,
Now that I'm dead and gone.

Knew something was missing from the previous post.  Ah, that feels better.

And so we arrive at the region that hath slaughtered so many hopes and dreams of that $120 pay-day in early April.  It's only 120 since that cheap bastard from accounting always joins yet never pays each year.  But either way, Bill.I.Am. and company have now gone away amidst Sherron Collins' inaccuracy and their inability to grab a defensive rebound.  The Midwest is now as wide open as a farmer's daughter at summer camp... So let's do it, I guess.

THAT SIDE.


Northern Iowa.  We pick Northern Iowa to win.  Izzonly in it for the Money saw his hopes of another Final Four bid carted off the floor once Lucas went down again.  Ali the Destroyer is going to have his way with State's backcourt and Niowa just has the attitude right now.  With that angry mic in the middle, it's not tough to see why.

And then we got the second most intriguing match of the Sweet Sixteen.  It's only potentially intriguing because we have no idea which Tennessee team shows up: the one that took their pills that morning, or the ran-away-from-home, un-sedated misfits that happen to crash the party every now and again.  Either one could potentially be trouble for a relatively unproven Ohio St. squad, but we'd prefer to see the medically-regulated and disciplined Volunteers that wiped out Kentucky earlier this year.  We're going 6-9 in the Midwest final, son... The farmer's daughter is gonna love it.

Westerly (settle down). Butler's pretty good.  Syracuse is really good.  Do we really need to say more?  Although it is about getting to that time when the Q-boogies are going to need their big man back.  When If they win tomorrow, then they're definitely going to need him, because look who is on the way...

With all due respect, Xavier, do not fucking dare get in the way of the most anticipated matchup of this tournament.  We need us some K-State v. Syracuse in order to shake off all this Sillybilly that has plagued our fragile mindscapes over the last week.  We need stability, and we need at least one powerhouse matchup.  And not that we're not excited about that Tennessee-Northern Iowa showdown either.

Grab a partner, ey'body.  It's time for Act III.
