Lesser of Four Evils:

We’re down to the Final Four in the NCAA Tournament.  UConn, North Carolina, Michigan State, and Villanova.  1 seed, 1 seed, 2 seed, 3 seed.  Power conference, power conference, power conference, power conference.  Jim Calhoun, Roy Williams, Tom Izzo, Jay Wright.

Who among this group is worth the casual college basketball fans vote?  They way we see it…none.  They’re all bad.  Some more than others, but who stands out as they greatest villain in this rogues gallery:

UConn’s Jim Calhoun - powerful, presence, you notice him, intimidating: Kind of like…Darth Vadar.

Michigan State’s Tom Izzo - very smart, have to admire his intellect, but not his eating habits: Kind of like…Hannibal Lector.

North Carolina’s Roy Williams - Seems very nice, well spoken, charming in an awe-shucks sort of way:  Kind of like… Anny Wilkes (Kathy Bates, Misery).

Jay Wright- smart, conniving, lawerish (if that’s a word), good-looking: Gordon Gekko. (Michael Douglas, Wall Street)

So who’s the lesser of the four evils?   You have to vote.  It’s like Election Day when you really don’t like one of the candidates, but you really dislike one more than the other.   As a sports fan, you know you’re going to watch the Final Four, just like as a good American, you know you’re going to vote, no matter the participants.  So, by process of elimination (in a pessimistic sort of way), who’s the lesser of the four evils.  Burnsy says Villanova gets the slight edge.
