FriendFeed: This NCAA expansion stuff is too depressing to blog about, but in short, I can’t believe they want to turn Thursday & Friday — the best two days in sports — into a crapfest of games like #9 Wake Forest vs. #24 Lehigh, #11 Minnesota vs. #22 Oakland, and #16 South Florida vs. #17 Texas Tech. Put that s**t on Tue/Wed and start the real tourney Thu!!
