"This is it," Obama said pointing to the bracket. "This is it. You know, you don't want to start … letting it be like the NBA. People who are sub-.500 get into the playoffs. There's something wrong with that."

He's talking about the NCAA Tournament and any expansion to said tournament, nothing about St. John's, Oregon State, or even the NI fricking T.

What post season credit do we deserve having gone 7-16 against high major programs?

How on earth is anyone wrong for feeling that a sub .500 team shouldn't be in this?

Who have we beaten that warrants giving us any respect?
