March Madness Part 1

This weekend is the greatest weekend of the year. You can't tell me otherwise. The opening weekend of the NCAA tournament has to be the most exciting sports event ever. That includes the Super Bowl and the Minnesota State Hockey Tournament (don't knock it until you try it my friend). So I bet you're wondering just how the biggest sports fan on the planet celebrates this weekend. Well, you're in luck as I've chronicled the first two days of my TV experience.

Thursday 11:00: Turn the TV over from Sportscenter to find...the news? Seriously, anyone who is watching at this moment cares about one thing. Basketball and money. The anchor is also very amusing. She makes Hannah Storm look like Morgan Freeman.

Thursday 11:15: Opening tip off. BYU takes on Texas A&M. They show a BYU player shooting a free throw and then zoom to the crowd where they show his 8 wives and 19 children.

Thursday 12:10: John Calapari recruits two things. Good Athletes and good students...in that order. Actually they forgot that he recruits absolute dumbasses as well. If you can't get up for any tournament game, you should be shot. I don't care if it's Cal State Northridge. Wake up for God sake!

Thursday 12:23: I need milk to make my Pasta Roni, but everything in the fridge is expired. Must jump into the car and speed down West Johnson St. to get it before the end of the game.

Thursday 12:34: Got back just in time to see Memphis finally pull away from CSUN. I'm still mind boggled by the fact this game was that close. It just proves how much Memphis sucks.

Thursday 1:30: 4-0...let's keep this going.

Thursday 4:00: Really, there's nothing to be concerned about yet, I'm 7-0 going on 8-0

Thursday 6:15: Now 8-0, the Gophers begin.

Thursday 7:30: AJ Abrams starts to torch the Gophers. I think about the supposed pure shooter for the Gophers Blake Hoffarber. I guess he should just shoot from his ass more. Either that or lodge the ball up his ass and fire it out towards the rim. Blake, please don't shoot anymore...enjoy the pine next year!

Thursday 7:45: Now pounding beers, my roomate wants a pizza but I inform him that I have no money and just popped some kettle korn. Sweet and drunkeness...always a good decision.

Thursday 8:20: Leave it to the Gophers to end the perfect bracket dream. More importantly, the pizza deal has been work out. Crishad gives up three Buffalo Chicken Strips for some Pugs Pizza. Experts call the trade delicious.

Thursday 11:15: After nearly collapsing UCLA survives against VCU. Then Illinois comes back to lose to Western Kentucky by 5. Oh by the way, did you know that Kentucky is missing the tournament for the first time since 1991? Gee, guess Tubby wasn't so bad after all huh? (14-2 after day 1)

Friday 11:00: The Black Hannah Storm reads the news on WCCO. I guess Obama couldn't compete in the Special Olympics. Officials were infuriated. Probably because if our president gave full effort in those games, he'd shatter the Special Olympics record books. Oops...I went there.

Friday 12:15: Is NDSU seriously going to beat Kansas? My cinderella may come true!

Friday 1:15: Fuck Kansas. Seriously, if I ever saw Bill Self, I would punch him in his face. I watch wrestling and I know how to do it.

Friday 1:25: I want to seriously know where Myron Eaton lives. Either that or the dumbass that was guarding him.

Friday 3:00: Pitt is suffering from Memphis syndrome. Come to play or don't come at all. I almost wish ETSU actually beat them.

Friday 8:15: GOD HE KICKED HIS HEAD OFF...THAT WAS AWESOME...Hey I have to watch Smackdown...leave me alone.

Friday 9:05: Another 4-0 session. My record currently stands at 10-2 for the day and 24-4 for the tournament.

Friday 10:55: Wisconsin wins, too bad Wake Forest got blown out by Cleveland State.

Friday 11:15: Sienna down by 1...stop the ball...STOP THE BALL...WTF??? 26-6 after two days.

Yeah that got pretty lengthy, but I'll post again on Sunday about the second round. So far today I'm 2-0 about to be 3-0. That means a 29-6 record potentially with three sweet 16 teams eliminated. So I guess that means 29-9 but oh well, things are looking up.
