DII March Madness Is Clearly Not Worthy Of Anyone's Time
In case you weren't aware, there are other sporting events going on besides March Madness. There's also DII March Madness! Oh yeah!

Now you may be thinking, why the hell would I care about DII March Madness? Well, you don't have to, but you'd think the people being paid to cover it would care at least a little bit.

No sir. They could care less as well. Just look at this awesome headline from yesterday's Minneapolis Star Tribune, which is hardly some local rag.

 

Yep. some dude scored 29 points for some team and, uh, whatever.

What may be even more hilarious is they have yet to correct the headline. The lone fan of DII ball in the comments section was not pleased by this:
You are talking to a student at WSU who has had to deal with this 3 years now. I complained earlier in another aricle how no one cares about D2 schools.
Go ahead and keep complaining man, no one cares. It's DII basketball.

I can't even imagine what would happen if this were an article about the real Elite 8. Dick Vitale's head would probably explode.

Ha... nice effort by the paper.

Figure some people might find it interesting that the Jonte Flowers in that article is Michael Flower's brother.  Also Winona St is the team that had that horrible collapse last year in the DII title game.

I'm guessing Jonte didn't make DI because his confidence was shattered from all those years being guarded by his brother in the driveway.
