1. Kansas v. 8 Kentucky. Kansas dominated. Didn't see any of it, and didn't want to, what with the thrashing that Southern Cal gave those Texas faggots.
2. Wisconsin v. 7 UNLV. UNLV brung the cool shit here. Awesome win, even better pick on my end. UNLV's got a GREAT chance to get to the Elite Eight, and a decent chance of getting to the Final Four. They can play.
1. Florida v. 9 Purdue. Nothing unexpected. Florida can turn it on at will.
(2) Memphis vs. (7) Nevada. I was o
I knew the lack of upsets would benefit the entertainment value of the tournament in the long run. And oh man, was I ever right.
(1) Buckeyes vs. (9) X. My predictions were sorta off today, but most of the losing teams did what I said they could. Xavier played exactly how I said they would play. I thought Oden should have received the intentional foul to end the game, but I AM kinda biased against Ohio State. Those Xavier kids should hold their heads up high, they left it all out on
My fucking entry got deleted, so I'm in a bad fucking mood. Short, sweet and to the point. Fuck posting records at this point, because it's meaningless.
Chicago, Illinois. West, Midwest.
1. Kansas v. 8 Kentucky. Kentucky is just there. Kansas got the easy road to the Elite Eight. Comfortable win here, this will be the only 1 v 8 that I don't think will end at the wire.
2. Wisconsin v. 7 UNLV. Lovin' UNLV and they've got teh athletes. Goes against my, if shit in the first r
These do not coincide with my brackets at all, these are mostly my gambling picks. I make my ballsy picks here, not in the brackets where I have the chance to brag.
Lexington, Kentucky. South Region.
(1) Buckeyes (30-3) vs. (9) X (25-8). I'm lovin' X here. Reasons for this are...
#1. They're playing close to home.
#2. Thad Matta is Xavier's former coach. His recruits will come out to play.
#3. One 8 will beat a 9. I like this matchup better than the other ones.
I said I would do this Monday. Then I said I would do this Tuesday.
It's neither of those days, but I'm going to do this right now.
From Chicago, Illinois. First set are in the West Region, 2nd set are in the Midwest Region.
(1) KU (30-4) vs. (16) Niagara (23-11). I have this feeling that Kansas is going to lose early, but with the matchups placed in their path, I can't really see a team that's going to be able to handle them. I haven't been sold on Va. Tech all season. Th
This tournament is a crapshoot, so why not post my bullshit predictions? I'll separate them by the sites of the games.
Lexington, Kentucky. Games are from the South bracket.
(1) Buckeyes (29-3) vs. (16) Central Conn. St. (22-11). Ohio State's going to win this game by 50 points. That's the great analysis that you could only find on this blog.
(8) Mormons (25-8) vs. (9) X (24-8). This is a tossup. I'll take Xavier. They've got something to prove, and they're playing much clo
I was taking turkey orders yesterday, and someone (obviously) wanted a turkey. They paid for the turkey and everything else before I told them what else came with it. The person told me that they needed to ask me a question. I told them to go ahead. They asked me if you could reheat the turkey in a microwave. These Mohammedans asked me if there was pork in THE TURKEY STUFFING AND IF THERE WAS SWEET POTATO IN THE YAMS. I couldn't make this shit up if I tried.
Happy Turkey shit.
I don't have a problem with my job, but I've gotta find a different place to work. The managers ride me so hard that I feel like Secretariat. Embarass me in front of customers, the whole nine yards.
I applied to work at a new store, and I was hired with the belief that I would be working there when it opened. I went up to the front to ask when the new store would be opened, and if I was going to be going to work there, as my co-workers had told me that I may not be going. I was ignored.
I need to find work. I need a job where I come in contact with a lot of people, because the lack of contact that I've had with people over the last few months due to not having work or class is driving me crazy. I'm probably going to work at the grocery store or some shit so that I can save enough money for this ghetto JuCo up the street. It's not like I have to pay a car payment or an insurance payment, because I gave my older, already paid for car to my brother so that I wouldn't have to pa
A lot of things that happen this time of year confuse the fuck out of me, but some things stay the same.
Why trade for Wilson Betemit when you are going to trade for Julio Lugo, despite only having one place to play them?
Why trade one of the best players in baseball for a few nothing prospects?
Atlanta wants to trade Andruw Jones. WHY?
Now, for things that stay the same.
Jim Bowden fucked up again.
The Orioles do not know what they fuck they are doing.
Di
Forewarning, this is long. First Lakers, then Dodgers, then USC.
Does the Laker fanbase here support it? I know a ton of people that loved this guy when he was here and hate his guts now. Personally, I think that's a load of shit on their behalf, because nothing changed about Shaq. He's the same guy he always was, everyone just got pissed off because the Lakers were now one of the teams he made fun of. Boo fucking hoo. If they can't handle someone having playful fun or throwing barbs
Of course, by it, I mean the Lakers-Suns series.
First of all, why is ESPN reporting this, "One story circulating among the Suns is that Bryant strongly encouraged teammates not to linger on the floor after the final buzzer for post-series handshakes"? Kobe can't "force" anyone to do anything. Unless you believe that woman from Eagle, CO, in which case you can freely believe she's correct. Not my problem.
Secondly, why the fuck are the Suns still thinking about this? Focus on y
That game was a fucking gutwrencher.
I DID NOT WANT THIS SERIES TO GO TO A GAME 7.
Sure, I predicted the Lakers to win in 7, but there's no way in fuck that I wanted that to be the situation that the Lakers were faced with. Game 7 is going to have humongous ratings, and the league will be pissing their pants when they get the Nielsen number.
I hate Smush Parker, and he can sit right on the end of that bench with that little queer smile and fucking line that runs down the middle o
I'm partly doing this to move discussion here, hopefully.
The Lakers win, Nash choked and has an injured back. The Lakers had no business being in that ballgame. They got very lucky that Nash positioned himself on the baseline twice.
Hopefully, I'll get some comments to talk about the game, if not, oh well.
I'm just ecstatic that the Lakers will play the Clippers in the 2nd round, and once again the focus of the basketball world will turn to Los Angeles.
I have never seen a team as complete as the Sharks. They are unreal. The only true threat to them is the Stars, but they have questions in net. I am convinced that the Sharks will put California hockey on the map, at which point I will kill myself.
On another note, Luc Robitaille's final game is tonight. He is a legend in every sense of the word. Ranks 10th all-time in goalscoring, ranks 1st among LW's in goalscoring, and is 1st in LA Kings goalscoring. I'll miss hearing the Staples C
Baez.
I guess he's the Dodger closer for right now, and with the way he pitched tonight, it's not something the Dodgers need to worry about. Hong-Chih Kuo could be a good setup guy, because he has pretty good control. The Dodger starting pitching will be the downfall of this team, and Tomko isn't very good. At all.
The injury situation for LA is not good right now. Kent has an elbow problem that he's playing through, Furcal has a messed up shin, and Nomar is Nomar. If Drew stays h
So, I guess this thing is going to become my Dodger/Kings/Lakers rant blog. I've got a lot to say after every game, and I guess this is going to be my platform to say it. After the Dodger game tonight, I'll update again.
I'll state that this weekend in sports sucked and it was probably the slowest all year. I'll put something in here about Pat Riley, Ron Artest and a small something on Reggie Bush.
That bolded quote is definitely a major ouch. Jermaine went to bat for Ron in the brawl last season, ao that's definitely a strong statement coming from JO.
Seeing as Ron doesn't want to go out West, I think it's going to be very difficult for the Pacers to find a place to accomodate him. I'm loo
Well, we now know who the Heisman finalists are, and is there any surprise? I think that there should have been more guys invited than there were, namely Brady Quinn and Drew Olson, but the voters did pick the correct 3 players.
I think that the Heisman winner should be Reggie Bush, but the fact that Vince Young had one of the best seasons in recent memory should not be forgotten. If Vince had performed like this last year, he would have been the guy going for his second Heisman, and not
When I can't think of a good title I'll just use the date, but I think right now it's the right time to talk about the Dodgers signing Rafael Furcal and one of the important games in the NFL that took place on Sunday.
So, the Dodgers signed Rafael Furcal to a 3 year 40 million dollar contract. This makes them a contender in a poor NL West and I think that if JD Drew can magically find a way to avoid the injury bug, we could be looking at a 90 win team. Furcal creates run opportunities for
This is definitely going to be interesting as here I'm going to post my thoughts on happenings throughout the sports world. This thing will be used for my rants and hopefully some of you will enjoy it.
So here's the first thing I'm going to discuss, bowl scheduling.
Ok, so did the bowl representatives royally fuck this one up? There aren't any remotely interesting matchups until the 27th of November, and that day is only relevant so that we can hopefully see Tommy Bowden run t
