Billikin Madness! Saint Louis University Begins It's Era

OK.... It is time to get on the bandwagon. It is past time. I do not know what my Billikins. Rick Majerus came here three years ago and everyone thought... well this is weird. We built a new arena named after a Jewish guy who SLU graduated who donated a shit load of money and everyone thought...well that is weird too. They sold seats in the new arena and priced marginally unsuccessful season ticket holders like myself (19 years) out of the market and some of us...well that is not weird but it sucks. Majerus played with the kids recruited by his presecessor and frankly did pretty well. 16-15 and 18-14... not too bad.

Now he has a team where the oldest players are 2nd years and the majority of the team is Freshman and they are at 18 wins and tonight are playing against the best team in the Atlantic Ten for their 19th win and the future appears to be here. As I type my Bills are down by 9 to Xavier. We might not get in the NCAA if we do not win the A-10 tournament but what an awesome job Majerus has done building a team at an academically rigorous, urban, Jesuit school in St. Louis Missouri.

Next year should be awesome but this year has already been really unbelievable. They might make the tournament and if they do not they are surely in the N.I.T. and they are so young. they are still making stupid young mistakes and they are still dominating the best mid major conference in all the land when they play at home and are more then holding their own on the road.

I am ready to get some people together and invest in tickets agin next year. Get on the bandwagon. Have your people call my people.

MAJERUS! BRACKETOLOGY! KUKLA! MADNESS!

ONE GOOD LOOKING MAN!





Sooooo... we have so little time until the first tip off on Thursday morning. KUBE spent Monday night with Rick Majerus at the MAC giving us the best of bracketology. Majerus (big sexy) looked like he had enjoyed some excellent pasta, several large porterhouse steaks and perhaps a small brown bear.... in other words he has dropped a few pounds. He gave us a lot of insight regarding the tournament before telling us all that his sister who would pick teams based on the color of their jerseys and how fat their coach was (shoe liked fat coaches) would do much better then him. Still very interesting and according to him....KU had better watch out in the first round.

Now to matters at hand. As was briefly mentioned earlier people who are related to, and or work with one Donald T. Kukla have been suspiciously successful in the KUBE tournament. Needless to say Don has final control over all scoring and would never do anything to harm the sanctity of the tournament but.... this year Don has already decided that his daughter boyfriend is going to win the KUBE. While normally this might be similar to Babe Ruth pointing where he was going to hit his next home run, in this case it is more akin to Bernie Maddoff predicting your return on investment in 2010 (slightly over the market average).

I do not know if this insidious, pay to play, earmarked, old school Chicago ward politics way of winning the KUBE can be stopped... but I know that we have to try. The best way to hurt Kukla’s evil machinations of the numbers is to have so many entries that no one, not even the Cray supercomputers disguised as human being who work for him, can do the math. In that regard we need YOU and all the people of the loyal KUBE nation to get busy and enter early, often, and STOP THE MADNESS of Kukla domination of the KUBE. He is like Heath Ledger as the Joker and HE MUST BE STOPPED!.

I am counting on you.... the KUBE Nation. Demand transparency from your Kukla. Write your congressman, write his mother (Pat Kukla) and demand full and fair computation of scores. Demand that no one who works with him or is related to him (including his evil cat Ozzie) are allowed any of our prize money. I might have to go as far as providing you his mothers address so that you can all contact her and stop this madness. Even more important it seems like perhaps someone related to that poor, genetically in ferior gene pooled Becker...should be allowed at least, like a third place.... something.... an honorable mention.

I am officially proclaiming 2009....my year. I am making my picks and have a great deal of confidence in the Robert Morris team this year. You heard it here first. Now lets get our entries in! Time is wasting and when a Becker related person wins this year, well, to quote the great Norm Stewart:

“If you see a turtle sitting on a fence post you can bet he didn’t get there by himself”.
