Man, I'm sure glad you brought me up-to-speed on CrookedCal 2, who I actually thought I liked - and worse, came close to publicly saying so in a post last night.  haha.  I recall one of the game announcers mentioning that those vacated wins were more due to player-related infractions than Slim Shady.  In the eyes of the NCAA, it's more or less the same though.

Anyway, Butler-VCU was one heck of a great game, and honestly made Cal vs Cal seem almost amateurish by comparison.  Both teams have a style of play I wouldn't mind the Hogs emulating over the next few years (understatement).  I would have been pulling for either one of them Monday night even had it been Kentucky playing - but I'm glad it's Butler.

Finally, that Reliant Stadium setup was one made-for-TV spectacle, wasn't it?  Makes you wonder just how many is too big a crowd for a basketball game!  Guess Jerry World will eventually answer that one!
