Every year I get calls -- complaints, really -- that sports columnist Ed Hardin is biased in favor of Carolina. I respond that he's not, but that he's biased against every school. That's kind of what a columnist does.
Now I can point to Ed's column this morning in which he picks Duke to win it all.
The prevailing wisdom, ahem, is that Kansas will survive all that and win the national championship. Maybe, maybe not. The conspirators believe Kentucky will get past West Virginia, Syracuse will beat Kansas State, and Duke will lose to Louisville in the second round.
I don't disagree with any of that. Except the last part. Duke won't lose to Louisville. Duke won't lose to anybody.
There, I said it. I'm picking Duke over Georgia Tech. Wait, that was last week. Duke over Kansas. It's a done deal.
Everyone knows that a Carolina fan would never pick Duke to win anything!
