Dave's 2nd Ridiculous 4 Pointer

Below is my 2nd attempt at a humorous 4-pointer. Below that is some info on my sort of free and arguably non-illegal NCAA Tourney Pool.

4 Point play -

1.Southwest – Every commercial break during the Tourney seems to include the ad for Southwest Airlines. You know, with the 10 guys who each have a letter of “BAGS FLY FREE” painted on their chests. Seemingly self-explanatory, but somehow I’m confused. Are they referring to the luggage or to that forlorn passenger on another airline who happens to be a homely old woman?

2.Kansas – KU’s new football coach has forbidden his players from swearing. He even has a list of disallowed words. The basketball team has a similar rule, but only one word is on their list – Farokmanesh.

3.St. Mary’s – After realizing that Omar Samhan’s last name is pronounced Sam-han, CBS announcer Bill Raftery dubbed him “The Sandman”. Slightly clever. But as usual CBS took it too far. Rumor has it they’re working on a sitcom starring Samhan and Raftery called “The Sandman & The Old Man.”

4.Games Needed – So Monday night comes and there were no NCAA Tourney games to watch. I was going through “hoops withdrawal” so bad that I started getting the shakes. Luckily, I found some NIT games. Phew. A few minutes more and I would have turned to women’s basketball.
