I haven't spoken that much about college basketball. Part of it is because BTN and Time Warner seem to hate me and another is because of American Idol. That last one was a joke. I just turned it on but had to change it back to UNC @ NC State. What is the point of American Idol when all you need to do now is have a MYSPACE page?
But being that it is February, you have to pay attention to college basketball. At least I have to. When a team like my favorite Ohio State is sitting at 17-9, it begins to get like college football; Every Game Matters! And since March is around the corner, lets get mad people. I scheduled my vacation this year, like last year, around the first weekend of the tournament. I can't wait to fill out the brackets. I can't wait to wake up and watch basketball all day. I'm smiling just thinking about it.
This Saturday the feature game on ESPN will be Memphis vs. Tennessee. #1 vs. #2. I will be rooting for the Vols. Sorry Memphis but I'm still not over Joey Dorsey calling Greg Oden overrated in the Elite 8 last year. How many points did he have? Oh that's right, zero. I know I need to get over that but not right now.
On Sunday the game is Ohio State vs. Wisconsin. I'm on pins and needles here. MUST WIN! A message to Evan Turner, David Lighty, Othello Hunter, Kosta Koufus, Matt Terwilliger, Jon Diebler, Dallas Lauderdale, Eric Wallace, and the rest: Do Your Job Please. Let Jamar get some rest. Please? Thank you.
