In Obama's defense, I should make it clear that his dim view of UCLA & Co. probably amounts to fraternal trash-talking, despite his protestations to the contrary, since in dissing the Pac-10 so hard he also gets to rib his brother-in-law Craig Robinson, the first-year coach at Oregon State. Sure, the President says that he's trying to bolster the Beavers chances next year. If you stop to think about it, though, what he's really conveying is that their big wins this year -- most notably against my Cal Bears, twice -- didn't amount to much. Cleverly done, as one would expect of such a savvy politician. Obama's bracket is much safer than mine, certainly:
