Ahhhh, let's really investigate this.
Who cares about a Pac10 winning percentage??? That is like NFL teams counting their preseason record. The Pac10 is lame!
Coach Olsen is the MAN!! I will grant you that.
How could any team beat three #1 seeds in the NCAA tournament??? How could they even play more than two #1 seeds? Am I missing something here?
Lastly . . . . . . how about that AZ football program???
All that aside . . .. . I hope you realize I was joking around last night about you being a dude?
Have a great day.

You may remember Arizona making tournament history by knocking off three #1 seeds; first Kansas, then North Carolina, then national defending champion Kentucky. In overtime, in the NCAA final.
Yes, Arizona Football sucks. I'll give you that... but would you like some statistics on our Baseball Team, our Volleyball Team or our Swimming Team... or maybe you would like info on our Softball Team.
Dude - if there is one thing I know... it's sports.
I'm just giving you grief... but I do know my sh!t.
