Dude, this is so lame and tired... A couple of things to point out:
1. Me saying, "I will eat my hat if..." is the same as saying, "I will be shocked if..." Had I written that I guess you would expect me to take a hit from a taser or jump in a hot tub with a hair dryer should Basset put Michgan in his final four? You are a very literal guy.
2. Nowhere did I bet anyone anything. You are not on the hook for anything should I be wrong, so how could that be a bet?
All that being said, If I can post something without doxing myself, maybe the my hat thing will happen in the spirit of fun. Maybe.
