I Bet You Look Good on the Dance Floor

For the second year in a row, Cornell basketball is going to the NCAA Tournament. And IT'S MADNESS AT NEWMAN!

How crazy is it?

Cornell won [yesterday's] game 83-58 -- or so everyone thought.

A Cornell spokesman said Saturday there were several changes from the final minute that weren't noted until hours later because the courtside scorekeepers' computer was demolished by several thousand stampeding fans.

The final score should have been 83-59.

Despite the destruction of personal property, Cornell basketball will once again be on national television. Hopefully we don't go through anything like last year's fiasco against Stanford.

Unlike others, we already missed our chance to put money on the Big Red a couple of weeks ago in Vegas. The line stood at 7 for a game we ultimately won by about 25 points, but we didn't get to profit from that because we screwed up the time difference between Vegas and the East Coast and got to the Sports Book at Mandalay too late.

But hey, we're going dancing again. So break out the hoodies, start filling those brackets, and call Andy Bernard. After we watch last year's awesome video of Cornellians storming the court, we'll give the Nard-Dog the last word.

"Just listen, I forgot to tell you the plan for this Saturday. You, me, bars, beers, buzzed. Wings. Shots. Drunk. Waitresses, hot. Basketball - Cornell/Hofstra. Slaughter. Then a quick nap at my place and we'll hit the tiz-own."
