Im going to start it off with Proclaiming 2009.,....
The Year of the Douchebag Champion..... the mascot will be Chris Christie..... A recently elected Governor of New Jersey ( the title alone should raise eyebrows.... and the fact his name is essential chris chris ) who narrowly defeated a Corrupt and not very popular Jon Corzine..... who ran on an anti-courrption ticket..... who illegally used a Clip from Monty Python without copyright permission on the eve of the election.... but it's new Jersey,whaddya gonna do ?
After such a strong year of Champions in 2008... Eli's first ( even though he's kinda of a chump.... ) Someone not named Tebow, Our Victorious Jayhawks, The Celtics, and The Phillies......
What Have we been treated to in 2009 ? Well, it started off with a BANG when the Florida captured a BCS Title after Tebow Cried at a Media Conference ( I promise I will not mention him ever again .... Im crying as i say that... tears of Joy.... ) Then there was James Harrison refusing to go to the white house... not becuase he dislikes the president but because the President didn't invite the Steelers over ANYWAY..... Then of course only the Biggest Douchebag in NCAA ( not you Myles Brand.... oh wait still too soon ??? ) gets a ring.... I swear, Tyler Hansborough has the same game I have inside 6 feet.... and the same game I have Outside 6 feet.... the only difference... he outweighs me by 100 pounds. Then Kobe. Then SId Crosby. Now A-rod and Jeter..... Christ even Golf couldn't field a tiger, or phil... Instead we got an ANgel, A lucas, a Stewart and a Yang.....
Yup.... 2009 The year of the Douchebag Champion.
Here's to 2010, whatever it will be because I hope none of these douchebags repeat as champions.... though I will give National Douchebag of the Year Tyler a Hansborough a pass.... INdiana being over .500 with Brandon and Danny Granger would be a miracle alone.... let alone Hansborough becoming the first NCAAer to go title to title in Ncaa and NBA..... Here's to a new year.....
With that in Mind, let's sing Auld Lang Sign to the Jayhawk Football Team.... it's a New Football season because there is literally NO Pressure on you anymore.... most of the Die hard Jayhawk fans have changed the calender and your Basketball Brehtren help establish that point with an Xavier steal, a Tyshawn alley, and an Elijah OOP! Let's see you finish strong with 33-1 or 4-0... Im holding out hope for yeah Todd... Have your Homewrecking moment in completely stupifying Texas and ruining their perfect season.... You have the talent and ability to finsh this up strong even though you have struggled lately and it all begins with Flipping the W on K-state.... You make them Mild, and you should be able to handle the Nebraska Crnhuskers ( yes, there is No "O" in Lincln this year Virginia )... Win or Lose against Texas those two get us Bowling and we end it with blood fued against a "freshman" named Blaine...
Speaking of Tigers, Our Upcoming Hhoops Date with Memphis is right around the corner, and while I can assure you Josh Pastner WILL teach Free throws.... his Cheating former Boss Calipari is still not preaching the fundamentals of NCAA Basketball.... The WIldcats or as i will refer to them from here on.... the Kentucky Vacaters, who are off to a 2 game leave of absense with soon to be vacated NCAA freshman of the Year John Wall, won a pivotal conference matchup with Campbellsport 74-38..... when asked about his teams flat even 50 percent from the field and SCALDING 21.4 from trifecta, John Calpari stated... he intended to play John Wall through his manditory NCAA 2 Game Suspension because he objects to any rules that limits his teams ability to post a W ( even if it immediately will be rescended upon the season's end do to ineligibility ) but in a nod to giving the NCAA infractions committee SOME credulity... he admited he will not Need wall for month and will be fine running through the first couple games without their soon to be vacated Freshman of the Year...... A team who is not such a flush state of competition was Syracuse, who played their vaunted 2-3 Zone defense to a Loss to Division II Lemoyne....
Yes, Syracuse.... top 4 team in the big east lost to a College Named after Simon Lemoyne... a Jesuit Priest....... who incidentally had a nice Sky Hook....
My Pre- Pres season picks to win the Big are as follows.....
Big 12 - Kansas. Darkhorse- Texas...That's basically the chances..... when your longshot is Texas who is easily the second best team in your conference..... That how confident I am in OUR Jayhawks.
Big 11 ( 10 ) - Michigan State. Darkhorse - Wisconsin. Alot of people are high on Purdue, and while i LOATHE Bo Ryan's Congelied Cheese Offense, they don't often give away games..... this division will be a tightly contested low scoring division.... even for the conference that routinely score in the 40's during conference season....... those are your top 3 in any particular order..... most likely the Spartans
Sec - Kentucky. Darkhorse - Mississippi State. This of course is to say, the SEC crown willbe vacated by the infractions committee shortly after the season's end.... if EITHER team wins...Ricardo Sidney is John Wall in a Burgundy and white UNi.... and legitimately the second best Freshman in the conference..... Also, likely benefiter of Brian Clifton there by i hold out my own special odds for this conference..... 4-1 chance that this division won by someone who will have to vacate the season...... 20-1 a Legitmately unpaid College team will ACTUALLY win the SEC regular season.
Pac-10. ......... Who's in the pac-10 for basketball.... washington ? really ? OK washington.... with my Darkhorse being UCLA ???? Can Bobo Morgan live upto his weight in hype or has this conference really gone so Bland in Basketball .... that a team with an interim coach ( Arizona ), a team i don't know anything about ( Cal ), A team i Know the coach of ( washington ) and a team decimated by the OAD ( UCLA ) are the top 4 teams..... Yeeeshhh !
BIg East...... tough conference got significantly less difficult this season, and looks to be 'nova's for the taking.... and i Like Jay wright... tough home court coach.... excellent recruiter.... not afraid to let his Players punch opposing players in the nuts..... Darkhorse looming on the horizon, West Virginia... they added a Lady Mountaineer mascot and they keep Ebanks.... will that be E-Nough to get them into the upper tier..... stay tuned.
who am I forgetting.... Oh Right, THEM.
Dick Vitale's conference..... reigning Champ decimated by seniors going pro.... reigning Chump still a point guard short thansk to being number 2 in the wall-stakes ( plus has working on another Hip replacement )..... Maryland kept the services of gary Williams so they will be a dismal failure..... Virginia's got Tony bennett... and he retained his heart from the west coast..... MIami is still miami ( legimate under the radar team that JUST seems to miss ).....I gotta go Duke favorite, Darkhorse Boston College. yes Coach K will undoubtedly need a new hip by the end of this season.... i think he's the odds on favorite to win the Vitale's Dome.... awarded to the most overhyped basketball team in the NCAA's.
That is all for now......as always Discuss.
