"anybody but duke." u-s-a today says unless you went there, it is your "civic duty" to hate duke. when all-else fails... use a dartboard. at least then you won't over-think your choices! not everyone was

selection sunday process... and some are questioning how the teams are ranked. our joe danneman weighs in... here's your morning wake up call. pkg those two words are one big reason why i'm a big fan of john calipari. i don't like coach speak - you know - the one game at a time - it is what it is - defense wins championships garbage that i hear so much it sounds garbled. that's not coach cal. i might not always agree with everything he says... but... he delivers whatever he's saying in such a unique - entertaining way that coach cal always delivers a good sound bite. did you see him on espn after sunday's selection show? dude looked like dick vitale. hands everywhere - voice raised - just a really good listen. he made some good points... but... his main point is that u-k is mis- seeded at the four line. listen - i think his

that backcourt makes kentucky as hard an out as anyone you'll see. but... the committee isn't wrong here. u-k only won three games against teams ranked in the top 50 by the computers. every other team seeded three - four - five or six won more... heck - u-c beat four teams in the top 50. i like coach cal - i think his team is dangerous... it's just i think coach mis-spoke about a mis-seed. i'm joe danneman and that's your morning wake up call. idol fox19 now is giving away a trip for two to see the american idol series finale in hollywood. it's easy to enter... log on to fox19 now dot com, go to contests, and then choose, idol giveaway. the winner will be selected march 25th. and don't forget to watch american idol, thursdays only right here on fox19 now. some tax mistakes could cost you part of your
