Does it matter? There hasn’t been a NC from west of the Mississippi since the 90s.

You might want to brush up on geography.

Well, if you count the Mississippi as its watershed, you can say it's true.

No. My point was to remember to apply this to a different conference next year.

Yeah, it should really be the origin point of the Missouri River. Or you could just say not in Eastern or Central Time zone since 1997.

Finally filled out a couple brackets. Did one with St Johns winning and of course had to do one with the good guys winning it all. Now to sit back and enjoy the games.

There are definitely a few current or ex KPMG auditors in this place. Everyone loves a good auditor. But yes, Kansas and Baylor are west of the Mississippi. Nice catch. You are clearly on Partner track.

Good lord, you suck at geography. Somehow your post got a like from the dude from Kansas.

I'm actually pretty good at it, just don't overextend myself on details sometimes when making a macro level point. I should, or else it elicits corny responses like this.

Coincidentally, I actually ran on the Mississippi River when in Omaha last summer and curiously tracked origin to mouth during cool down.

Ahh yes, the macro level point. Of course.

You're incredible at sports and at geography.

Love Jack Tripper. RIP JR. Not incredible at much, do enjoy geography, strongest suit is having a bloodhound level corny detector. It went off here like I was sitting in an Iowa cornfield, which is east of the Mississippi.

Just looking at the seeding the Big 10 got just now and man did the committee give them a favorable bump. Only one team there is possibly underseeded (Maryland) and pretty much all the rest got handed a much higher seed than deserved. How did Oregon get a 5 seed? Even more egregious is giving Purdue a 4 seed. I’ve watched them play at least 3-4 times this year and they just aren’t good at all. Wisconsin and Illinois are equally unimpressive to me. I guess time will tell, but I fully expect the B10 to flame out as usual, maybe with the exception of Maryland. Queen has a bit of Caron Butler in his game and can probably single handedly carry Maryland to 2-3 wins.

Same - let’s get the best teams in. The drama around them getting in was such a stupid narrative that was pounded to death by the media.

Irony that SDSU looked like they had no business being in.

Albeit with a smaller audience, your post represents an instance of a media content creator pushing the story after the fact.

Rootin for Xavier. They have been playing pretty good ball lately. I have they going to the sweet 16. Fingers crossed.

Let’s go Miller & gang - would love seeing them make a run, they’re a fun team.

We would have noticed if he died. The Boneyard would have about half as many posts.

The Mississippi River is 250 miles from Omaha

Crap, that was the Missouri - man, I really need to work on my midwest rivers. I'm a lot better at state capitals.

You mean that gaff wasn't intentional?

I thought you were extending the joke.

Missouri / Mississippi . . . these are micro details for nerds.

Nope, that was a gaff. In looking at the map now, never realized that the Missouri (named differently as it travels north & south), generally serves as the West border to a number of states where the East border is the Mississippi. Who knew, live and learn. Have been on the Mississippi at places like LaCross, St Louis & NOLA, but definitely didn't go for a run on it.

Was Andre Drummond running with you? Just curious.

Is he bad at Midwest rivers geography too?

You really need to stop being corny and start looking at the macro.

You never had the makings of a varsity athlete.
