Idle thoughts of a relatively libertarian Republican in Cambridge, MA, and whomever he invites. Mostly political.

I spoke two hours ago with an aunt who's in town, and who went to Iowa State University and is an even bigger fan of the school's sports teams than Steve and I are. It was mentioned that with only four teams from the Big 12 in the NCAA — both Colorado and Missouri were left out — the NIT might decide it didn't want the team that finished eighth. Well, in fact, the NIT took five teams from the Big 12, including Iowa State, which will host Georgia on Wednesday. (This might induce my aunt and her family to cut short their visit to Chicago.)
Iowa is also in; last year the two teams played in the NIT. This year that wouldn't happen until the championship game. I could go for that.
