11. I think only 2 made it to the second weekend though, which led to the predictable outcry about how overrated the league was. Being a homer, I still disagree with that.

No one came even close during the 15/16-team era. Teams usually won the league with 14-4 records. It was an absolute meat grinder. I think it contributed to some early flameouts in the NCAAs, personally.

It's a true bummer that the Big East turned down that TV deal from ESPN, which is what immediately preceded Syracuse and Pittsburgh's departures. The league might have eventually fallen apart anyway (in fact it almost certainly would have), but it would've kept things together a little longer.

I'm late to this, just finished it yesterday.

No joke, I used to imagine a 4th film that involved all the Ducks enrolling at the University of Oregon and starting a hockey program. Think of the shenanigans that could've ensued.

I've erased….everything.

Someone else pointed out below that Carter Bays has addressed this in a Tweet, saying Barney lied about Blauman dying because he was trying to keep Marshall from quitting his internship.

Well, the latter two were blocked from appearing by NBC (Masi Oka was on Heroes and Sarah Lancaster on Chuck at the time, and Scrubs was on ABC).

Very good episode.

She did just give him that long lingering kiss, so I think it's safe to say she wouldn't have been put off by that.

I haven't seen many of the people I invited to my own wedding (June '12) outside of family since that day, so Marshall's line about that definitely hit home.

S6 - Garbage Island tells that story.

I loved Chuck as much as a human can love a show, but they constantly did this. In season 4 they started routinely making two round trips to some stupidly far away place per episode. Started making me wonder where my tax dollars are going.

I'm going through Wonder Years on Netflix and Joey the Rat appears in an early season 4 episode as Kevin's classmate. Double-taked on that one.

About half a season. I thought it was longer too.

I'm within barely 15 months of my brother, and I have two younger brothers that are 20 months apart.

The end of Trilogy Time takes place in 2015. Marshall and Lily's Rome thing was supposed to be a year long and evidently starts in the summer of 2013. If M&L actually did keep their names on the apartment, it's not crazy to assume they move back there once their Rome voyage is over in 2014.

I wiki'd the show yesterday and was flabbergasted by the fact that the season finale is in 3 weeks. Would never have guessed it.

Upvoted solely for the last line.

As well as "Chuck Versus the Ring Part II"
