Lets be clear about one thing- It's a joke that Syracuse was not selected as an at-large team for the NCAA Tournament. Cuse is, without question, one of the top 40 teams in America (34 at-large bids plus six BCS conference champs).

But since I'm just married to a Syracuse alum and didn't actually go there, I can find the silver lining in the committee's snub of the Orange. And the silver lining is that I get to laugh at all the Syracuse fans' lunatic fringe YouTube videos.

Lighting the bracket on fire. Which they do badly. Is lighting a piece of paper on fire really that complicated?

The sad montage video. Eddie Vedder is a big Cuse fan.

A DirectTV commercial which I just stumbled across but it's really funny because Jim Boeheim may actually try to pull this off and have Cuse play a first round game against nobody.
