Watching the videos, it struck me that IF we win it all this season, a father and a son will have won National Championships as seniors at the same school. I wonder how many times that has been done in college basketball history.

That's a very cool observation, Peter.

Here's to "Manning Magic" coming through again, this time via Evan!

PS: You'd also have a father/son--coach/player win it all. I'm sure that's happened before, but it has to be rather rare. And we could have both on the same team!

No idea, Peter, but I'm all for establishing as many "firsts" as possible this year! And "fourths" and "sixths", for that matter!
