This Sunday, America's television viewers will be forced to choose between watching Illinois basketball face off with Minnesota, or a new episode of AMC's The Walking Dead. In the process of being forced to choose, it is possible that more and more will realize that these two programs are essentially one in the same. Illinois sports these days are every bit as much "a continuing story of survival horror" as the television show based off the comic books with that tagline.
I'm not going to sit here and Photoshop John Groce's face onto Michonne's body, or figure out whether Josh Whitman is more like Rick Grimes or The Governor, because it's not like that.
