PIC OF THE DAYRobert Morris came through, winning the NEC Championship and a spot in the NCAA tournament with a dramatic, last-second victory over Mount St. Mary's. It's the most excitement the Sewall Center's seen since the last bi-annual card show was in town.
VIDEO OF THE DAY
Here's a Bud Light parody commercial called "Burghability" from the creative minds at Benstonium.

--WVU beat Notre Dame in the BET, probably because the Irish scored all of 18 points in the first half. And you know what that means: Pitt-WVU in Backyard Basketball Brawl III on Thursday night. The Panthers are 23-8 at Madison Square Garden since 2001. I like those odds. [PG]

--SI's Seth Davis on who wins this year's tournament:
All right, let's cut to the chase here. Who is going to win this thing?

I like to save my official pick for the Selection Show. If I spoiled the suspense here, what reason would you have to watch? While I always reserve the right to wait until the last possible moment to make up my mind, let's just say it's pretty unusual for a city to celebrate both a Super Bowl championship and an NCAA championship in the same year. This is feeling like one of those years.

Remember a few months ago when Haslett got off to a hot start, the Rams talked about removing the "interim" tag, and everyone got up in arms about NFL hiring rules? Seems like eons ago. [KDKA]

--I'll just quote the story here:
A herd of deer went for a beer run in Westmoreland County. Three deer walked through an open door at the Beer Arena in Greensburg last Friday. Customers and employees scrambled to get out the way as the deer went wild inside the store, jumping over counters and running around the aisles.
And yes, there's video. This is why we all love the internet. [WPXI]

"Big news in Johnstown. Our 90's weatherman was convicted of sexual abuse years ago, so he went on the lam. He got away for four years, but last Thursday US Marshalls caught him in Kiev, Ukraine. He was over there allegedly trying to start a Ukranian weather channel. The Johnstown news media stopped covering the story -- I guess they're protecting their own. SOJ is the only Johnstown news outlet covering the story -- mostly with terrible photoshops." [Straight Outta Johnstown]

That guy at the bottom is an "If they mated" for Petr Sykora and Jeff Reed.
Steeler beer is rated more like it's the Detroit Lions of the beer world. Only 4th percentile out of 100.

Yeah I had it when me and my friends went up to Canada when we were 19... I saw it in "The Beer Store" (that is actually what it is called), and got an oil can of it... It's made by lebats and it's pretty horrible...
I say he looks more like a lovechild between Skippy and Joe Dirt.
