Congratulations to Butler for winning...

...our hearts. In the whitest of NCAA Championships since Kentucky let beeple play, Butler fell to Duke by 2 points last night. Butler is a 2pz favorite for being ceeyute bull-underdogs like Georgia, but not as douchey. Butler coach Brad Stevens is a 2pz favorite for being young like Lane Kiffin, but not as douchey. Also, he graduated from DePauw University.

The loss ended a nation's best 25-game win streak. Luckily, Butler did not go down like West Virginia, nor did they get mounted by Bob Huggins. Their goofy tennis champ star missed a last second shot that was really close, unlike another last second shot earlier in the tourney that we Vol fans would like to forget. It is likely that Butler will be remembered as a great team and get to keep it in their record books, because they are not coached by John Calipari. Even though they fell short, they were impressive in front of a hometown crowd of 70,000 people (great sight lines, I'm sure). What we can be sure of is that Peyton's orange awesomeness rubbed off on Butler up there in Indianapolis.

And that Bruce Pearl will be sticking around Tennessee for a while. [relevant]

When the game ended and Duke was celebrating on the court, a nurse's assistant walked into to my room to take my vitals, and said "football?" To which I replied "No." and thought Five months, sweetie, only five months.
