                              Norm underachieved in March. It is indisputable. - alwaysright MU - 3/15 08:41:18
                                   My responses. - STLTIGER MU - 3/15 10:13:01
                                   Another way to look at it. Since seeding began. - alwaysright MU - 3/15 08:58:43
                                        5 S16s or better out of 16 is something we would kill for - STLTIGER MU - 3/15 10:22:46
                                   IMO , we should make the tourney 7+/10 years, win a game - zounami MU - 3/15 08:44:22
                                        Norm exceeded those - STLTIGER MU - 3/15 10:09:00

                              That’s not true. It’s the primary stain on Norm’s legacy. - alwaysright MU - 3/15 08:09:12
                                   correct (nm) - zounami MU - 3/15 08:13:35
