You would not say "alittle". Learn to spell yourself before criticizing others' spelling and grammar.<BR/><BR/>Also, have you seen McKillop in person? I happen to know from personal experience that he is not a "class act". Maybe a typical Yankee, but most definitely not a class act.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1488810632253889763.post-48887313816927701702009-03-17T00:18:00.000-04:002009-03-17T00:18:00.000-04:00I agree, McKillop is a class act and he was asked ...I agree, McKillop is a class act and he was asked for his opinion.

His first pick Siena was a good choice because they don't rely on one player, they play as a team. They have been on the NCAA road before and they did well now they are really going to be unhesitant and win a couple. Also Syracuse could be a cinderella, they aren't as unknown as George Mason three years ago but they aren't an NCAA power house.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1488810632253889763.post-23413829322060840592009-03-16T16:26:00.000-04:002009-03-16T16:26:00.000-04:00I gotta agree with a previous comment, what the he...I gotta agree with a previous comment, what the heck is #3 seeded Syracuse doing listed as a cinderella.<BR/>Bob must be an Upstate New Yorker.<BR/>#3 seeds do NOT qualify as cinderellas automatically.
