This Week On Buzz Kill, March 26th ed.

- Mid Majors. Gonzaga is the only remaining mid-major team left in the NCAAs, and they're almost as mid-major as T.O. is a good teammate. Utah, BYU, Butler, and VCU were all ousted in the first round. Cleveland State, Western Kentucky, Dayton, and Sienna made it to round two when no one expected them to. I guess ranked mid-major teams are still overrated and unranked mid-majors are still the biggest threat.

- David Price. Clutch performance to close out the ALCS, number 1 pitching prospect, 2008 minor league player of the year, leading 2009 rookie of the year award candidate, a filthy 1.08 ERA this spring, and a ticket to Triple-A Durham. Damn it's hard to earn a spot on the Rays.

- Lane Kiffin. Re-read yesterday's Daily Zoot.

- Florida State. Their appeal against the NCAA's smackdown, which included 4 years probation and vacating any wins the involved athletes participated, was rejected by NCAA President, Myles Brand. Honestly, if you cheat, you cheat. It sucks. But there's no sense in denying it. The real reason for the appeal: vacating 14 of Bobby Bowden's victories might seal the deal on Joe-Pa ending his career numero uno. That is, unless Jimbo Fisher wants to be the coach in waiting through 2013.
