Is this going to be the general repository for all March Madness commentary (Coog-related or not)? Still can’t believe Obama didn’t declare the first 2 days of March Madness a mandatory federal holiday. Big time fail in my opinion. Trump could fix it, but he won’t because he doesn’t care as much about basketball as Obama did.

this one couldn’t be anymore perfect.
the tourney will be blowing and going by the time the coogs start, the coogs start is a great time for all to pick up some grub and drink or make it to a local place that should have the coogs on nearly every tv and the whole city will get a chance to get behind the coogs in the tourney.

Every bit as big if not bigger. As it turned out that did absolutely nothing for us
