They used to have this thing called the NCAA tournament and it was just amazing. We had this guy called Glen Rice who could just dominate. He could hit from outside, score in the post, and he even played defense. This dude Rumeal Robinson was fast like a minotaur and could make his own free throws. We even used to have this thing called the Fab 5 where they rounded up all the biggest criminals in the greater metro Detroit area and promised that in exchange for scoring lots of points, they didn’t have to play for a coach or learn anything about college. Ah, the good old days. Even that guy Maurice Taylor was pretty good until he went and rolled the Explorer with that lousy prima donna, Mateen Cleeves.
March 18, 1998 may seem an insignificant date to you stupid jerks, but not to me. You see that my friends is the last time the Wolverines set foot in a tournament that did not provide its victor with a one way flight to Italy. It may seem like a long time ago to you, but believe me, it’s longer for us. How long? This long…
1) The Sega Dreamcast is made first available in Japan.
2) Monica Lewinsky scandal: Ex-White House intern Monica Lewinsky receives transactional immunity, in exchange for her grand jury testimony concerning her relationship with U.S. President Bill Clinton.
3) Jim Carrey won Best Actor for the Truman Show. Awesome movie.
4) Citicorp and Travelers Group announce plans to merge, creating the largest financial-services conglomerate in the world, Citigroup.
5) The Chicago Bulls win their 6th NBA title in 8 years when they beat the Utah Jazz, 87-86 in Game 6. This is also Michael Jordan's last game as a Bull, clinching the game in the final seconds on a fadeaway jumper.
6) The Big Lebowski debuted in theaters nationwide to seriously mixed reviews.
7) For the first time ever, smoking is banned in California restaurants and bars.
8) Google, Inc. is founded in Menlo Park, California, by Stanford University Ph.D. candidates Larry Page and Sergey Brin
9) Seinfeld aired its last episode to 76 million viewers and the gang ended up in the slammer.
10) Coldplay, the Strokes, and Okkervil River formed. Neutral Milk Hotel broke up.
If there is one good thing to come of having your favorite team dragged through the mud for eleven years in the wake of a scandal, it’s the expectations. It no longer matters if we make it out of the first round or achieve absolutely anything at all from here on out; getting to the dance is more than enough. I feel like Sienna. Wait what? Sienna made the tournament four of the past five years? Fine, I feel like Manhattan. What? Even the Jaspers made it twice since we’ve been away? Ouch. Forget it, gimme those shoes Cousin Eddie; lets go dancing.
