I had selected Houston to win the national championship this year. Mr. Obama has Arizona. He also had Illinois to beat Houston, here in the Sweet 16. And that just happened.

I didn’t think the Illini could get by a tough Houston team. But they did.

Tonight’s game puts a fork in it for me — I have no chance of catching him now. Take me off the grill; I’m cooked.

So now over 21 years I’ve only beat him four times. 

I guess there’s always next year!
