Obligatory UNI Post

This week the United States reformed its health care system. Here is my analysis: I think....

Waaahhh! Wait a minute! The University of Northern Iowa (UNI) Panthers made the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament Sweet 16 by beating heavily favored Kansas. Gotta mention that.

Not much in sports is going to top seeing an underdog Iowa group beat down one of the best teams in the country, and get all kinds of attention for it. I suppose it would have been better if they had beaten a more hated team, a team known for cheating coaches and/or players.

I happened to watch the game at a bar with friends and family, and it was possibly the most fun I've ever had watching any sporting event on TV. Loud cheering, drinks, and a gratifying outcome is a great combination. Factor in the pathetic state of the other D-I men's basketball programs in Iowa, and you suddenly have the biggest group of bandwaggoning fans in Iowa history.

But not me. I'm focusing my attention on health care reform.

After the game.
