So...I hate Ohio State. Not as bad as I hate Notre Dame who I always hated and would never bet on until I did this time and then whatever the basketball component is to Tocudown Jesus totally betrayed me early in the tournament. But Ohio State...like 45,000 undergrads...in the middle of Ohio or in the middle of northern Ohio... and their Buckeyes and...they are just so...in love with themselves. I hate em. I love Michigan.. .perhaps thats it...I love Michigan so...I have to hate Ohio State. Memphis...formerly memphis State has about 15,000 kids and used to be coached by some of the greatest criminals in the game. Tax fraud and recruiting scandals...all the things that make basketball great.
UCLA and Kansas...that was the first time we saw a 1 seed lose. It was a good game but the Jayhawks...they did not show up. UCLA is a very good team but it was a very boring defensive game. I guess I should be excited that a number one seed fell out of the tournament but seriously...it was justa number two. I really cannot invest emotionally in UCLA’s “underdog” status. The only reasont that they were not a one seed is that they slept through the PAC 10 tournament. I guess the only thing of import is... Mike Johnson bit the dust with his pick of KU as numero uno.
Inspector Becker Looking Into Allegations Regarding The Missing KUBE Funds!
Seeing all these 1 and 2 seeds in the final 8 and now the final 4 has provided some awesome basketball and some close games but.. I do not have a lot of passion for it. Sure 1 and 2 seed playing each other is great but these top ranked schools are all coached by these genius guys and all these great...great players.... but there is not a lot of passion but... they play like beautiful robots....they run the program. They slash, they cut, they kick out to the guy for the 3 when they are blocked and... that guy is always looking for the interior pass before they shoot. They are awesome. But not a lot of fun.
I like fun. I mean Butler was NOT a cindarella but they had a nice story. It was not all basketball factory with 3 million dollar coach and a collection of several states “Mr. Basketballs” filled out with Mc Donald’s All Americans who even though they grew up in East L.A. somehow ended up at excellent east coast college prep academies (basketball farms). The torunament is just more fun with a George Mason and a Southern Illinois or someone making a run.
But it is Sunday Morning and that is not what we got. I feel bad for Bill Self. he is a nice guy and he will be back, with his own players. UCLA... who cares? Ohio State? Poison! Today I will be cheering for Gerogetown. It would be too grim to have North Carolina, Florida, Ohio State and UCLA. It is grim no matter what but... they will be great games.

Sunday Evening!
What a day of basketball! Florida played a game Oregon team but the result was rarely not in question. For the first time in the tournament Joachim Noah and company played with some real passion. They were never out of control of the game. Later in the day there was the Georgetown game where they were playing number one seed North Carolina. It was a great game. A seesaw battle that seed and sawed throught two halves and into overtime at which time it teetered...then tottered to Georgetown. It was a very exciting game and Georgetown just pounded on them in overtime.
So now we have UCLA, Georgetown, Ohio State and Florida in the Final 4. The Kansas and North carolina backers.... dead. Now we don’t know what is going to be happening. Johnson, Sheahan, Winkeler, Shapiro and Curtis...all dead. That damn dog looks like it is tough position but the folks with 1 seeds look poised to do some serious damage. We will see when Kukla and his minions get the results posted for the pre Final 4 standings. In the mean time keep your out for Kukla and his posse. As stated above in The Daily Kubian, Kukla has run off to the Carribean with over a dozen 18 year old girls and ALL of our funds. The authorities...will be advised!
