I can't read (or God forbid hear) Dickie without being annoyed. While it is great for the A-10 to be getting even more coverage, he still sucks. The A-10 has been hyped for weeks now and he finally chimes in. When he does, he doesn't even get the conf right.

For example, the 'no cupcakes' comment - ummmm, does he even know the Bonnies are in our league, or Lasalle for that matter?

And then he finishes the article with some comment about how the conf might get a team to the sweet-16. Has this guy been watching college ball the last few years? Even 'cupcake' confs are getting teams to the sweet-16.

If he really knew the A-10 this year and wasn't just repeating things he heard around the water cooler, he would have said the conf might have a team in the Elite 8 or Final 4.

Oh my **** what a moronic comment about the Sweet 16. Hello! I get so irritated with these so-called sports experts who overlook quality teams and conferences just because they don't the revenue or marketing power of the "big ones" and then are genuinely shocked when a team like X goes on an a** kickin' run. Personally, I say bring on Ohio State again...I'd like to see a rematch!!!

For those of you going to the game tomorrow and on behalf of those of us who have been deprived of tickets...have fun, cheer your head off and GO X! I better hear you at Dana's.
