Premature Projectionator

So Joe Lunardi has some idle time on his hands. And as God knows, idle time leads to calloused hands and sticky sheets. Thankfully, ESPN has put him to work prematurely predicting next year's men's basketball NCAA Tournament. TheBigLead, back from its battle with Cowherd, provided the following insight:

Trying to capture the magic of Mel Kiper’s early-look at the 2010 NFL draft, or Chad Ford’s premature musings on the NBA class of 2009, Lunardi is all over next year’s tournament, paying no mind to the fact that plenty of talented underclassmen have yet to declare for the draft, coaches are in flux, and we don’t know who will pull out of the draft and come back to school.
More pertinent to WVU, we're projected at a 6 seed next year. While this is so premature as to be completely useless, it still serves the purpose of getting a little hype going for next year's basketball team. Apparently, the addition of Huggy Bear and the return of 5 of our top 6 scorers from the NIT Championship team carries some weight in the eyes of bored, borderline-out-of-work analysts at the 600 pound gorilla.

If in the event that our millions of readers instantaneously rush over to the Big Lead and crash their site, well, we're sorry.

We are not sorry. Under no circumstance, excluding of course the outside chance they decide to supply all Bastard contributors and die-hard readers some shiny white shoes. THEN, I would be sorry our readers crashed the site, but not until.

Two WVU football alums are the only players suspended by the NFL after a year of noteworthy arrests and other police interaction. Beautiful. Bring on Huggins. Lets balance out our football and basketball thuggery. Despite his tough guy tats, Pittsnoggle would have a pool cue stuffed all the way up his 6'11" ass if he had to throw down with Pacman. Huggins will tell our recruits, "Don't you bring that weak tot action. You go strong to your mouth or you don't go at all, snackers."
