(College) BALLIN!


November 22, 2007 | Tags: basketball, college

After my last blog, I discovered that there are some college hoops fans in the building. So, this blog is for you guys. I mean it’s Thanksgiving after all*, and technically I’m on a little vacation (yeah right, no such thing) so let’s just talk about something different for a change.

I mentioned in my last post that everybody should be watching ESPN2 at 9pm tonight. I hope you did. Well, actually, I hope you tuned in late because the Villanova game went late and so the GMU v. Kansas State game didn’t start until like 9:30. And to think, I was hitting some serious speeds on the highways to make it back home in time to watch. Oh well, at least the normally excessive police force around here was seriously lacking tonight.

Oh, my bad. I’m rambling. I tend to do that when I eat too much. Aw, fuck it, I actually do that all the time. You’ll learn to love my random BS talk. Anyways, back to basketball. I’m supposed to be thankful for something today, right? Aside from the usual sappy melt-your-heart type shit that I was raised to be thankful for, I’m also thankful for this Kansas State game. Why? This shit is hilarious.

The humidity down at Disney’s Milk House must be off the chains tonight or something. People keep hitting the floor, and they keep wiping it down (word to Boosie), but these guys just keep on slippin, fallin, and not getting up (what up DMX!). Hell, GMU’s Chris Fleming ate hardwood just trying to inbound the ball. It came out of nowhere! And aside from the hilarity of watching it happen, think about that concept. He’s falling face down into somebody’s sweat that was half wiped down by some towel that wiped up somebody’s sweat before that. Um…ew? Fleming, I feel for you man.

The other thing that makes me laugh is the fact that the announcers keep referring to Mason as this great, strong, experienced team. Word? I recall less than two years ago you guys were pretty much laughing at GMU, while everybody was yapping about how “lucky” the Patriots were**. I tried to tell y’all…it ain’t luck. But no, it took everybody two years to figure that out.

And the silliness never ends. There goes Vlad Moldoveanu passing the ball to…wait for it…a REFEREE. I’m loving watching this kid adjust to the flow of things and I really have a lot of hope for him, but…you just gotta laugh at that. Oh, and five seconds later the floor is getting wiped again. HA. EW.

I like college hoops for all the serious reasons that were mentioned in the last blog’s comments, but I also like it because it will almost always make me laugh. I’m hoping for more games like this one this season. Especially since the Patriots put up some serious points and are walking away from this with a 4-0 record – the first in the school’s history. Peep the GMU vs. Villanova game at 5pm EST on ESPN2 on Friday!





*Although it may not be by the time I actually post this…

**Meanwhile GMU was knocking most of your favorite teams out of the tournament. Damn that Florida team though. Damn that Joakim Noah and his damn dancing.
