In just a few days, a midmajor is going to get the opportunity to play for a major college sports championship.  How cool is that?

Pretty cool, if you ask me.  Butler may get a second chance at the big prize.  VCU played an extra game to get to the end.  Both teams are amazingly good and amazingly underappreciated by fans of big teams, especially big teams they have beaten.

Good luck to both teams in their game against each other, and I cannot wait to see one of them play someone from the Old Guard and knock them down.

For added fun, I suggest checking out the Kansas/VCU post-game thread at Rock Chalk Talk, in which Kansas fans vow to boycott a National Championship game with a midmajor in it, begin to root for North Carolina to maintain status quo and blame everything that is wrong with college athletics on the on-court success of two worthy teams from confrences outside of the Big Six.
