A "classic" case of puffery
If you drive a 2005 Hummer SUV, feel free to call it a “classic” car. By the standards of college basketball tournament organizers, it qualifies. Among the tournaments being staged this month: the Old Spice Classic (est. 2006), the CBE Classic (2001), and my personal favorite, the Anaheim Classic (2007). At least the new postseason tournament, unnecessary though it may be, has the decency to call itself the College Basketball Invitational. Modesty – now that’s a classic character trait. –Aaron McFarling
