KUBE KOMMENTS SUNDAY: KARNAGE!

Soooooo...Sunday. All a real hoopster can do is shrug their shoulders and mutter under their breath (because it is easter)... what the hell? What the hell indeed? Butler takes Tennessee to the wall. Davidson humiliates Georgetown to go the sweet sixteen. Duke and Pitt get knocked off on Saturday... quite a weekend. Western Kentucky and Davidson in the sweet 16. It is like bizzaro world and Jon Becker’s coin flip brackets sit ominously on the sideline threatening to derail the locomotive that is Lucy Shapiro.

And how are things around the Shapiro dinner table? Does she lord it over Andrew and the (someone please call the animal rescue people) Figgy and poor, poor Max. I assume based on his tournament standings that the family gets some kind of tax credits for feeding and clothing him. The Finnerty family... at least Steve is currently on top followed by Linda (makes for some tense dinners) followed by poor Logan who appears to be losing to his mom... again. Seriously, when the kids at school find out, do they still beat him up? At this point, after this many efforts I picture Logan as kind of a Forrest Gump gone bad. The Mogerman’s all went down with the Drake Bull Dogs and we will watch their tortured slide into the bottom 25 as the brackets continue. The Kukla family and the Becker family are only “families” in the broadest terms of the word. They are families much in the same manner as the Corleone family, with a constant specter of distrust and thinly concealed threats of greater violence if for example UCLA does not make the final four.

I cannot really tell where we are at in the pet competition. That will take some more review later in the week. I think i have already commented generally on the sad, manginess of this years contestants. It is difficult to say at any given point whether most of these poor animals would not be better off in the back room of an ethnic restaurant on Grand Ave. awaiting their eventual fate rather then living with the kind of people who would whore their Pet off in this type of competition.
Kukla heads off to the great northwest on Monday morning but assures me that he can drill down on some of the tournament metric remotely with the modern technology available. That remains to be seen. he is dragging his poor son Brian out there with a broken rib and putting him on a snowboard. Someone should call the DFS.

As I sit here in the bosom of my family on Easter Sunday afternoon Memphis is struggling with Mississippi State. Other then Villanova Sienna there have been no blow outs today and the upset have tilted some mighty brackets. UCLA, everyone’s second pick almost choked it away last night. North carolina just crushed Arkansas today and looks like a world beater but tomorrow...or Thursday or Friday... who knows? On a day when it was 68 just a few days ago and we wake up with snow, anything can happen. I for one will breath a sigh of relief to hit Monday, get to the Waffle House for an early breakfast and get to work.

DO NOT FORGET! CELLOFEST is at the Sheldon on Tuesday night. It is an officially sanctioned KUBE event. I wish I had thought of it.
GO MOUNTAINEERS!
