No, not a serious Final Four pick — we have plenty of those already on our message board. This is the craziest group of four teams you can bring to Salem or Springfield, one from each bracket. Tie them together and tell us why they’re related.

For example, the All-Skyline Final Four. We easily take Manhattanville from the Skyline Conference in the lower-left bracket, Stevens in the upper right, then St. John’s in the upper left (nobody from the league, but there’s another St. John’s that is in the city with the skyline in question) and St. John Fisher (the Empire 8) in the lower right.

OK, maybe that’s too much of a stretch.

How about the All-We-Get-Mistaken-For-Somebody-Else Final Four? Take Washington U. (in Missouri, not Maryland or Washington), Lincoln (Pa., not Missouri), Westminster (Pa., not Missouri) and Trinity (Conn., not Texas). Or York (N.Y.).

Then there’s the All-Mispronounced Final Four on the road to Springfield. That would be Medaille, perhaps DePauw, Gustavus Adolphus and Kean. And the All-Our-Name-Says-It-All Final Four: Maine Maritime, Southern Maine, Puget Sound and Piedmont.

We open the floor and open the door for your ideas.

With only a few notable exceptions, I’ve seen the NCAA’s banner with those words in every football stadium and basketball gymnasium I’ve been in this year.

If only the fans were paying it any heed.

NCAA Tournament games are different in a lot of ways. In many places you’ll be paying more because of ticket sale prices required by the NCAA. (In some places, paying at all is a change of pace.)

The seating is required to be divided by a specific formula. The public address announcer is instructed to be neutral. The starting lineup is to be announced in alternating fashion, one player from Team A followed by one player from Team B. Artificial noisemakers are prohibited. Etc., etc., etc.

However, fan decorum should not be limited solely to NCAA Tournament games. And I’m sad to say that some places I’ve been this year this has been sorely lacking. In fact, I recently saw four games in a row in four different venues were a fan was kicked out.

Folks, what’s the deal? Can’t you enjoy the game without insulting each other? Without drinking all afternoon before tipoff?

I’ve said this before on other sites and I’ll say it again here: These players do not deserve your abuse. A Division III football player gets no special treatment above and beyond what you get. They’re not on scholarship, don’t get special dining halls or treatment in the classroom (in fact, you can count on some professors being harder on football players than on the rest of the class).

Just support the participants in a positive manner.
