On a couple of occasions, I’ve mentioned how I avoid Joe Lunardi at all costs during the early months of each calendar year. And it’s not just because of his toupee. (Seriously, that’s gotta be a rug, right?) No, he’s just very good at what he does, and I’d prefer to not have my Selection Sunday diluted with prior knowledge of someone else’s accurate predictions. It’s a don’t-tear-away-the-corner-of-the-presents-under-the-tree type of thing, I guess.

So I clicked on this video at espn.com with a little bit of hesitation, but I thought it’d be a cool chronicle of what Lunardi does this time of year. No, it’s more creative than that.

In my book, the 11th-seeded Broccoli Cheese Soup will upset the lazy No. 6 Penne a la Vodka almost every time.

Great call by Lunardi with the ‘97 Kansas reference.
