Holy Tournamnet Update: The Closing Hymn

The Holy Tournament concluded today with the Baptist's victory over Native American Spiritualists (check out that second-half line; can I get an amen?). This is an encouraging win for the baby-faced, Bible-colored, born-agains after their close loss at the hands of the Agnostics*, who then went on to shockingly defeat the top-ranked Jews**.

------------------

* I wanted to squeeze atheism or agnosticism somewhere into the Tourney, and I figured turtles probably don't spend much time thinking about religion.

**Yes, UNC are the Jews. Two reasons. One, I was unable to find a feet- or tar-based religion, but I did find a Hasidic folktale about a sacred goat. Two, Jews are awesome and they deserve to be in the Holy Tournament somewhere.

Editor's Note - a true shame we couldn't find time to play the Satan-Worshipers.

Woooooooooooooooooooow. Where are the political-correctness-police when you need them?

It's probably fair to label Maryland as agnostic since most institutions of higher learning are bastions of atheism anyway...

Did you read the ESPN thing about Boston's contract with the devil? Wake and Arizona State are mentioned, but not Duke... hmmm...
