Calling BiSB - Tourney Watch
I have read with great joy BiSB’s Opponent Watch missives - wonderful prose on the state of athletic competition. I miss such talented writing. Any chance we could encourage BiSB for a pre-NCAA Tourney Watch?
His retainer is exhorbitant
I'm all for BiSB writing more for us to enjoy! But...
With football, we have a schedule that is known in advance. So, BiSB can go week by week and touch on our most recent game played as well as those in the future and the opponents in the rear view mirror.
For the NCAA tourney, being that it is single elimination, it would be hard to do an Opponent Watch when each round multiplies the amount of potential opponents making it hard to forecast the future, and once a team loses, they are done for the year so there are no objects in the rear view mirror.
Wouldn't that be a rather large undertaking? What's in it for him [checks notes] Oh, I see. Phildor's Praise. How wonderful!
Count me in, but I doubt he budges.
There are literally about 150 different possible opponents for U-M on NCAA opening weekend (1st and 2nd round right now).
That's a lot.
Well, I'll do Tournament live tweeting - bad matchups only, of course.
Both of you are thrilled, I know.
