The Grand Finale


Syracuse.  Georgetown.

I'm not a fan of either team.  Far from it.  But I'll miss the rivalry.  Not as much as I miss Kansas-Missouri, but close.

Friday night, football money terminates one of the greatest rivalries in college basketball.  So I say, cancel the rest of the Big East Tournament.  Award the Big East championship to the winner between the historic foes.

How could anyone complain?  

Madison Square Garden has housed many great dramas.  But any actor on Broadway will declare an encore of Louisville or Notre Dame versus the winner of Georgetown and Syracuse as anti-climactic.  Kind of like the movie, Return of the Jedi.

Shut the league down on the right note.  Trumpet the end with Syracuse vs. Georgetown.
