Read that and immediately thought of BC's epic 2004/05 NCAA basketball preview.

Was that the list that had Illinois as most underrated and least overrated and most likely to maybe succeed, depending on how things played out and Bo Ryan's Cadillac as most likely to need collision repairs?

The very same, though sadly the best thing about that piece--the comments--don't seem to be populating.

The sad thing is that it clearly indicates that there are "94" comments but nothing happens when you click on it.

I am needed. "But Bo Ryan still looks like he was just missed by the '83 Caddy two days ago on U.S. 41 south of Green Bay."

Many of the readers criticized me for explaining most of my jokes in earlier pieces. Now, I'm expected to explain one of my jokes. What am I supposed to do?!?!?!?

If nobody else figures it out in the next couple hours I'll explain what I'm trying to refer to there when I get back from doing something I need to for work.

You're not supposed to make jokes that aren't funny and don't make sense.

Seven teams most likely to underachieve:

1. Kansas
2. UNC
3. Georgia Tech
4. Louisville
5. UCONN
6. Illinois
7. Wake Forest

Final Four predictions:
Wake Forest over Illinois
Kansas over UCONN

UCONN on both lists, nice.

I'm not sure about the rest of you, but I, for one, cannot wait until B.C. returns from doing something he needs to do for work so that he can tell us what he was trying to explain to us on the U.S. Highway 41....um, "joke".

Bo Ryan "joke":
November 12th, 2004 at 1:44 pm

Is it a reference to his being a little bug-eyed and maybe looking like he almost got hit by a car? I have no idea how "U.S. 41 south of Green Bay" fits.

The Ryan comment was made because many people think he looks like a rat. And rats can be run over by cars. Or non-motorized vehicles, whatever the residents of Wisconsin prefer.

To clarify on one other point of contention, just because I say a team is likely to underachieve does not necessarily mean that I think they will. I'm just noting the likelihood of possibility by my statement. For those that think my listing of those teams should preclude me from then predicting them to go to the Final Four or Elite Eight, I must say I think you are simply wrong. Again, those lists are only my feelings about the likelihood those teams will underachieve or overachieve, NOT if I think they WILL do that. I hope that explains that.

Other than that, I'm certainly open to fair criticism, which most (not all) of you guys seem to have put on here today.

I didn't know a lot of us were getting hit by '83 Caddies on Highway 41 just south of Green Bay.

I rejected using these jokes in my article today:

The Rocket
Houston Astros pitcher Roger Clemens won the Cy Young award at age 42. He also won the less prestigious but more aptly named Cy Geezer award.

All kinds of fun
Fans lined up for many hours to buy the hot new video game "Halo 2." The game is pretty wild, if you're able to get Tara Reid to flash, you get an obscene call from Bill O'Reilly and Martha Stewart goes to prison.

What is wrong with California juries?
Apparently the Scott Peterson jury has been eating off of the same plates as the O.J. Simpson jury.

There hasn't been a jury as stupid as the Scott Peterson jury since O.J. Simpson lied about those ugly-ass shoes.

Well it's Friday and almost no one is at work so if anyone wants to pull up any other Classic Desipio I'm game to wax romantic about it.
