I bet UCLA will lose to Mississippi Valley State...if you give me 250-1 odds!

http://sports.aol.com/fanhouse/2008/03/18/think-a-16-will-beat-a-1-get-250-1-odds/

We all know that there has never been a #1 seed who has lost to a #16 seed in the NCAA Tournament. We also know that never have all #1 seeds made it to the Final Four. But hey, 2008 seems to be a year where we can throw those notions out the window and make some strategic bets, right! Well, give me 250-1 odds and I will bet UCLA drops their opener to #16 Mississippi Valley State. Go ahead....dare me to make that pick, I hate the Bruins anyway!

    You're an idiot, no way the Bruins or any other #1 fall this year, there will have to be a change to the format for that to happen.

        I wasn't saying it was funny. I mean, unless he thinks they really have a 1 in 250 shot of winning. I would say more like 1 in a *pinkie to mouth* billion..........lol.
