		<title>Ali Farokhmanesh Does His Best Maurice Newby Impersonation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[	We already talked about how great the first set of games today were , but it looks like the outstanding play didn&#8217;t stop. While Danero Thomas will be the name du jour to drop around the water cooler on Friday to act like you know what you are talking about, he wasn&#8217;t the only one [...]]]></description>

		<title>Let The Madness Begin</title>
		<description><![CDATA[	All season long we have heard about how this year did not feature a &#8220;dominant team&#8221; and this was the &#8220;weakest bubble ever&#8221;, but that doesn&#8217;t mean we can&#8217;t have a great tournament, which may be off the greatest start to a NCAA Tournament ever. While I&#8217;m not usually one prone to hyperbole, I can [...]]]></description>

		<title>San Jose Pod Daily Diary: 03.18.10 Edition</title>
		<description><![CDATA[	Greetings, everyone, from beautiful San Jose, California.  It&#8217;s a 75-degree outside the building, but nobody cares about that because it&#8217;s time for March Madness, and already across the country today, the games have been insane.  Is there any other sporting event in the world that is so consistently awesome on a year-to-year basis?   I&#8217;m [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[	
	We&#8217;ve often said at RTC that the first Thursday of the NCAA tournament is like Christmas. Well, what better way to spend the holidays than with family. OK, maybe RTC contributors and Backdoor Cuts columnists Dave Zeitlin, Steve Moore and Mike Walsh aren&#8217;t exactly family, but at the very least they should be your friends. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Profiling Elite Eight and Beyond With Pomeroy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[	This is an idea we&#8217;ve had bouncing around in the dome for a while now, and since we&#8217;re not smart enough to actually do a bunch of number-crunching analysis with regression formulas and all that other statistical nonsense, we&#8217;re going to do what we know how to do &#8212; eyeball it.  (note: if you want [...]]]></description>

		<title>Obama Bracket 2010: Feeling Selfish?</title>
