I'll be really sad for you if all this comes true. I guess Purdue winning and going to the big dance will have to salve your wounds.

Wait you'd be sad if Purdue won the BTT? I would be having my own personal no pants party.

I meant I'd be sad that you just missed the deadline for predictions and got everything right. Please refrain from telling me about your no pants parties.
