Kentucky just won the National Championship... and the farewell montage music is straight out of the late 70s. It's like cool jazz meets those old, bad sitcoms we're glad aren't syndicated anymore. If you missed this, please google 'One Shining Moment'. The wrong person clearly got too much creative control, and that person clearly is still spinning vinyl, has shag carpet, and drives a Nova. Watch that montage with that dog-ugly song and tell me otherwise.

OK, so a little more backstory... The song is indeed 'One Shining Moment', by Luther Vandross. Some dude named Doug, a producer with the NCAA Tournament, came up with this idea. No harm intended to Doug, or Luther Vandross, but this song is dog-ugly. Also, Doug died in 2009. Judging from the song, he was likely very very old, and only sentimentality on the part of the other aging producers can even begin to explain this crime of a tournament-ending video segment. It's time to move on, guys. Doug is gone. The song is old. Let it go.
...3 minutes later....
The song is still dog-ugly, but it's starting to get stuck in my head between the replays and laughter. I might just sneak this into the wake-up alarm circuit.
