College hoops commentators and analyst are as bubbly as Colbie Calliat this time of year.

As upsets continue to shock NCAA basketball fans, like Houston's win over UTEP in the C-USA final, the word “bubble” is on everyone's lips.

The term, which refers to programs teetering on an at-large bid in the field of 65 for the NCAA tournament, is used is such phrases as, “Oh, that win might move them off the bubble” or “That loss just burst their bubble”.

Bubble this. Bubble that. Burst their bubble. Pop their bubble. Back on the bubble. That team's pretty bubbly.

Ugh. Enough.

I live for the drama of who gets in and who doesn't as well as team's ruining other teams' NCAA plans – it's what make March mad. But, I've had it up to my man-boobs with the “bubble”.

So, I suggest we find another term to use when describing teams on the NCAA fence. Some alternatives are:

-Holding their dicks: “Looks like Washington might get caught holding its dick this postseason.”

-Shit or fart: “If the Illini win here, it will determine if their season is a shit or just a big fart.”

-Hot girl or ugly friend: “Minnesota's win over MSU may have scored it the hot girl while Rhode Island could end up banging the ugly friend.”

-NIT picked (as in National Invitational Tournament): “Let's look at a couple programs who could get NIT picked.”
