Someone In His Mother's Basement Is Picking the Utes
Just in case you feared you had too much time on your hands, here comes somebody to put those silly worries in their proper perspective.

Namely, somebody calling himself Constable Echelon.

That's the guy who has inexplicably committed to "the Sisyphean challenge of previewing all CBI matchups to prepare you for The Grandest Tournament E'er Conceived." Obviously, this guy needs help.

Most of his observations are pretty obvious, but at least he has seen the Utes play in person. "When I saw Jim Boylen's Utes play at UW in the preseason NIT (sigh ... NIT) he struck me as one of those coaches that can, you know, coach. I believe in Utah's ability to shut down Jackson and let the rest of the Miners try to beat them."

So the Utes have that going for them. Which is nice.

I like that you call out my boy Constable for being obvious in the same post you make the "bloggers are mom's basement" comment.

That, good sir, is delicious ironing right there.

Mr. Lewis:

Thanks for the link!

Reading your post again, I'm sure your criticisms were tongue-in-cheek. A clever satire of the provincial attitudes and cliche-ridden writing prevalent in the modern newsroom.

You like our coverage. Nay - you love it. Admit it!
