Go Back to Your Home on Whore Island!
Since none of my posts are consistent thoughts I've decided that I can't really title them to fit a certain subject. Therefore I'm going to use phrases that I deem as funny from now on. If anything you should be satisfied to read the title, only to come crashing down as you scroll through the rest of my garbage thoughts.
That idiot Jay Lunardi already has a bracket for the NCAA tournament up on espn.com. I have nothing wrong with him doing it at this point in the season, if anything I think its fun to speculate. I just think that the guy is an idiot. Any ways, an intriguing matchup that happens in his bracket is in the Atlanta region in the 2nd round; Duke vs. West Virginia. If you were a Duke fan cruising into the tournment at about 30-2 wouldn't this game scare the crap out of you? Sure WVU is a zone defense team which means Reddick may get some open looks, but in the same breath, much like Temple and Syracuse, all they play is zone which means they're very good at it. And then on offense they just bomb away. If they're hitting like they did against Wake and Louisville in the tourney last year Duke would have some problems. Nothing would be greater than a bunch of hicks knocking out those blue-bloods.
With the lull in college football season I've started watching college basketball more. I've gotten to see Ohio State twice now (Va. Tech & St. Joe's) and though I haven't been overly impressed with them, I do think that they'll win at least 20 games again this year and be in the tournament. They're thin up front with the exception of Dials, but they are very deep at the 1-3 positions. And as everyone says, guard play wins you games. Just look at Nova.
Speaking of Ohio St. basketball. Where will they be ranked in next season's preseason pole? They'll be a championship contender. The only big loss off of this year's team is Terrence Dials and they're bringing in Greg Oden and his little buddy from Indy and three other guys that are touted as McDonalds All-Americans. My theory on this is that a lot of these kids want to play with Oden. They figure they have to play one year before the NBA so why not all go to the same program and try to win a championship? I think the same thing will happen in a couple of years with OJ Mayo. Who by the way looks like he's about 25.
Today is the anniversary of one of the greatest NBA games ever played. Pistons over Nuggetts 186-184 in 3OT. I know that the game has changed a lot in the last 20 years but wouldn't it be great if teams still scored like that. Denver averaged 123 that season, it takes some teams two games to score that many now. There's an article on Page 2 today about it. They interview a couple of the players from the game and they bring up good points about it being more of a team game back in the day as opposed to today's one-on-one style and set plays. Good read.
I got a picture in the mail the other day from a promoter who books ex-wrestlers. He sent me a picutre of George "The Animal" Steele licking the Stanley Cup at a Minor League Hockey game. Yes this is funny, I laugh when I look at the picture. But do you know how much silver polish they use on that thing? That can't be good for you. Just ask the guys that drink out of it, they all end up sick. At George's age he could be dead by now.

Calvin, you should probably check out the Romeo shirt I just designed. A picture's up on my blog.
It's fantastic.
Now if only I could sell them.
