You know how the NCAA will have 2 sets of t-shirts printed and 2 sets of caps manufactured on the night of the championship game? One for each team, so that they will be prepared to hand out the goodies no matter who wins? Well this is kind of what I did for today, except I didn’t make 2 posts in advance, just the one. And I guessed wrong. For those of you with your heads stuck in the bowl (of cereal), last night was the NCAA Men’s Division 1 Basketball Championship Game. The Ohio State Buckeyes battled valiantly against those wascally Gators of Florida. In the end, Florida won. Hu rrahs and zzahs all around.

Anyway, to be clear about this, I had previously encountered this cool Ohio State Cereal, so I was all excited for a Buckeyes victory. While this cereal is technically for the OSU Football team, I figured it was appropriate for the basketball team as well, since they can’t beat Florida either. The “Buckeye HerOes” are honey-nut flavored Os, in the same vein as Honey Nut CheeriOs.

What other schools are due for their own cereal? Here is a freebie: The Notre Dame Fighting Irish Oatmeal.

Update: Silly me. After doing a little, how you call it in this country, research, I found some follow-up info. Looks like you can’t keep a good Gator down, and as proof, check out the power-packed Florida Gator Frosted Flakes corn cereal. (also football themed, not basketball, but it’s all the same when the lights go down baby)
