Three Little Dots: Bracket Fever

Michigan State’s Ryan Burke and Casey Harrigan defeated Jamie Carroll and Brad Hall of Wake Forest to win the 60th Annual National Debate Tournament last night in Chicago. Michigan State has now won the tournament twice in the last three years. Since 2002, the tournament has been won by teams from either Northwestern or MSU. How about Liberty University, which has the best team in the country, according to the New York Times Magazine? They failed to qualify for the modified double octos (this year, that included the top 30 teams), just as they have for the last eight years. … I used to live and die (mostly die) with the Memphis Tigers when I lived in Memphis and the school was still called Memphis State. Now why did I think a #1 seed would change that? Yuck. What a game. 45 points?!? In the tournament? I’ve been in bed since Saturday.
