Convenience is a dish best served cold

The Freep is reporting that "1st string" QB Nick Sheridan suffered a serious leg injury in practice yesterday.

I use the term first string loosely because Sheridan has about as much job security as the Shah of Iran did in 1979. Yes, I went there.

Anyway, even though this only leaves Forcier and a former MLB hurler who threw a perfect game on the spring roster, Denard Robinson is coming in the fall, and let's be honest, Sheridan wasn't playing past the first half of the Western Michigan game. 

The first image that popped into my mind was of Michael taking Fredo out on the boat and shooting him in The Godfather Part II. This basically just saves Rodriguez from having another awkward conversation with Sheridan and saying he's lost his job, again. 

Does this officially begin the Year of Forcier?

Rock Chalk...PU-Zona Hawk?

I love March Madness. Seriously is there anything better than the upsets we see year after...well umm not this year. 

The lack of upsets is astounding. If every game was won by the top seeds, the Sweet 16 matchups would be 1 vs. 4's and 2 vs. 3's. Ok, so let's look at the East. 

Pitt vs. Xavier. 1 v 4. 

Nova vs. Duke. 2 v 3. 

South

UNC v. Gonzaga. 1 v 4

Syracuse v. Oklahoma. 2 v 3

Midwest

Kansas v. Michigan State. 2 v 3.

West

Mizzou v Memphis. 2 v 3.

Look at those. The only two matchups I skipped was the Purdue-UConn matchup, which is a tame 1 v 5, and the 1 v 12 matchup of Louisville and the mid-major story of the year, Arizona. 

Oh wait, no. It the Arizona thats in the tourney every year and won the championship in the late nineties. 

Yeah, that Cinderella. 

So things didn't shape out the way we would all like to see, but you would have to think this will call for some better quality basketball next weekend. 

Stay Tuned.
