65 and counting

Maybe it's just the editorial-writing cynic in me, but I'd say if they're "considering" it, it's pretty much a done deal:

INDIANAPOLIS -- Ninety-six teams could make the men's tournament if the NCAA decides to expand from the current field of 65.

Amen:

Step back, and the real question isn't whether the agency has the authority to regulate the Internet - it's why the FCC has authority to regulate anything.

OMG, Butler is in the Final Four, so a hometown team will get to compete on national TV! This is just so cool! It's like Hoosiers! The underdog Cinderella team will give us all a reason to hope for a brighter tomorrow and . . . but wait a sec.:

Who were they?

I've liked The Who a long time, but I must respectfully disagree with this:
