College Basketball, Already?


Many people like UNC. Many people like Duke.


Well, I say fuck both of 'em. I like Maryland.


It's that time of year again people where we try to predict who is going to go to the Big Dance and the Final Four and, ultimately, win the title.


I think that Connecticut has a real good shot at it. I'm a sucker for the big guys, I never like to pick a team to win it like Tennessee last year, no big men, four guards and a 6'8" guy. Hasheem Thabeet=7'3".


The easy choice would be to say North Carolina is going to win it. But I don't like UNC. In fact, I was nearly in tears on that bitterly cold January day here in Wisconsin when the Terps went into Chapel Hill and took down #1 North Carolina. They'll miss James Gist and Bombale Osby in the middle, but Braxton Dupree will be a force. Greivis Vasquez is a great leader, and also very ugly.


I think having Louisville in the top 3 is ludacris. They'll lose to Kentucky.


The story of Texas' back-up Center Buck Burnette is classic.


I can't leave the monitor without mentioning the Wisconsin Badgers. Bo Ryan is a coaching god. He recruits slow, white guys from the South Dakota and they're perfect for his offense. I can't wait for the Marquette vs. Wisconsin game, and I know Charlie can't either, it's always a good one, and the game is in Milwaukee this year so I think Marquette has a slight advantage.

  1. Louisville is the truth trust me on that one. Earl Clark, Jerry Smith(Wauwatosa), Terrence Williams, and Edgar Sosa. That team is full of studs, they will live in the top 10 all year.

    PS Cant wait for MU to kick Sconnie's ass again!
