Gentlemen, we’re down to the Final Four. It’s been a harrowing past couple of weeks, and soon, someone’s about to win some serious bracket cash. But here at COED, it’s not about the money – it’s about the cheerleaders! First we brought you babes from the 64 competing schools, then we had the Cheerleaders of the Sweet 16. Finally, we bring you the Cheerleaders of the Final Four! This time, we went crazy with tons more pictures from each school. So get read, because this is going to be good.

Just a short time ago, 64 teams entered into the March Madness tournament filled with hopes of NCAA basketball glory. But after a lot of sweat, tears and bracket-killing upsets, we’re down to the lucky bastards of the Sweet 16. And we could think of no better way to celebrate this than, you guessed it, cheerleaders! (What else?) Regardless of whether you’re team made the cut, Cheerleaders of the Sweet 16 will get you back in the game.

Are you sitting down? Ok. Apparently, a Tennessee Highway Patrol helicopter spotted a massive marijuana-growing operation in Cherokee National Forest, just miles from the Tennessee/North Carolina border. The officers seized 35,000 plants, equaling $700 million in “street value” prices.

Authorities found a campsite near the harvest, which is suspected to have been occupied by the illicit farmers. Though no one was found at the camp, arrests are expected soon, says KnoxNews.com.

Let’s just get something straight: That…is a f**kload of pot. We don’t know what they did with it, but probably the plants were destroyed. For a country that loves money (and smoking weed) as much as we do, that seems like an idiotic waste of product.

After thousands of viral YouTube videos and one Weezer music video, scientists have finally given us an explanation as to how the mysterious Diet Coke and Mentos reaction happens.

Tonya Coffey, a physicist at Appalachian State University in Boone, North Carolina and her students “tested the reactions between Diet Coke and fruit Mentos, mint Mentos, and various ingredients such as other mints, dish-washing detergent, table salt and sand. They also compared reactions using other fizzy liquids such as caffeine-free and sugary colas, as well as soda water and tonic water,” says ABC News.

Harvard Students Arrested In Gay Rights Protest

Four members of Harvard’s “Right to Serve” tour were arrested this morning at a military recruiting station in Portland, Maine on the charge of criminal trespassing.

The arrested members were Samantha G.M. Barnard ’09, Robert J. Ross ’09, Amary K. Wiggin ’09, and Jacob P. Reitan, a Harvard Divinity School student who first conceived of the tour.

Twenty Harvard students have been traveling since Saturday on a week-long trip up and down the east coast to protest the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy barring openly homosexual or bisexual recruits from enlisting in the armed services.  [Harvard Crimson]

Miami Lands #1 Seed For NCAA Baseball Championship

After hearing the good news that they would be hosting the Coral Gables Regional as the No. 1 national seed of 64 teams for the 2008 NCAA Division I Baseball Championship, Miami players and coaches watching the selection show in the clubhouse were thrown an unexpected curveball.

No. 2 seed Missouri (38-19), No. 3 Mississippi (37-24) and No. 4 Bethune-Cookman (36-20) are set to come to town this weekend in a surprise bracket that left some wondering how the top seed didn’t get matched up with the likes of Mt. St. Mary’s (21-32) or Texas Southern (16-32) in its regional instead of lower No. 1 seeds such as North Carolina or LSU.

Miami will take on Bethune-Cookman in the second game Friday at 4 p.m., following the match-up between Missouri and Mississippi. All games will air on ESPNU, with games at both 12 and 4 p.m. through Sunday, and the final game on Monday if necessary. [The Miami Hurricane]
