Go Upsets!

I dont know about you but Tuesday is when the calendar turns to February and that means my attention turns almost exclusivly to College Basketball. Kinda like when Tara Reid walks in to the party in "Van Wilder" with that white shirt on(this of coarse is pre botched boob job Tara Reid). I spent my saturday watching nothing but Colege Basketball. I sat there hour after hour in amazment as 11 of the top 25 lost. The shockers of the day included Uconn losing at home to Lville, as did Villanove to Georgetown, Florida to Miss St, Wisconsin to Penn St, Duke to StJohns and on and on and on. So after this madness, what are we left to believe about 2011? (and more importantly the up coming NCAA tournement) Well this tells me there is no great team this year. Now some of you are probably asking, What about Ohio St? Well they may not have lost but struggled to beat a John Shurna less Northwestern team. So even though they are #1 and undefeated, I have my doubts. But like the Chicago Bears after Jay Cutler was "injured" (cough, cough), Caleb Hanie is all we've got. Caleb Hanie being Ohio St. Stay with me people. Now Im not one to panic after one crazy saturday and start to say things like no 1 seeds will make the final 4 or a 16 seed will make a run or that there is a Butler or George Mason team out there that will be playing for the title. But I will give you this advise. IGNORE THE TOP 25 RANKINGS! They really mean nothing as far as seeding are conserned. These meaningless numbers beside every schools name only give fans bragging rights. College Basketball is just all about matchups. Example- Kentucky beat Louisvile but Lost to Uconn. Then Louisville beats Uconn. The Tranasitive property (a > b > c) does not hold. That's right people I just dropped a Transitive property on you, BOOM! I'm as unpredictable as this basketball season. So I have a few teams that you may not think to keep in mind for a deep tourney run, Texas, Purdue, Washington, Kentucky, BYU, Tennessee, Marquette. I may not be breaking much ground with this list but if 4 of these teams made up the Final 4 I think you all would be surprised. Good Day

Buckeye Blitz

The big game last night was #12Purdue at #1Ohio St. I personally was looking forward to watching two elite8 level team Battle it out. Before ESPN even switched there coverage over the Buckeyes were up 20. Jared Sullinger is a POY candidate averaging 17pt 10reb but it was the other players on the team that gives Ohio St a real shot to win the title.John Diebler is as good of an outside shooter as there is in the nation. David Lighty is the sneaky future pro and leader on this team. Don't forget William Buford who is the ideal college swing man.The pieces on this team just fit so well together. Much like Brooklyn Decker the Buckeyes pass the eye test. They are big enough, they can shoot, and they have plenty of future pros, but the most important thing they have in my opinion is there coach. Thad Mata has lead teams deep in the tournament several times at Ohio St and Xavier. It really is amazing how he is able to loose a player and leader like Even Turner and come back with a better team. The one weakness of this team is they only go seven deep. Now nobody knows what will happen come March (just ask Kansas about Northern Iowa)but this Buckeye team is easily a top four team in the nation and they proved it last night. Even with the display the Buckeyes put on the moment that stuck out more than me in my yoga class was Robbie Hummel sitting on the bench having to watch. Hummel torn his ACL for the second season in a row. He has been given next year to play but his running mates like JaJaun Johnson will be gone. Purdue is a top 12 team without him, and hes there best player. But Purdue has plenty of season left and still could make a Final Four run. There an early favorite for Americas team come March. The darling of the year has already been determined, its #9BYU and Jimmer Fredette, averaging 26.7 points per game. I haven't seen him play yet but will tonight when they play #4 SDSU. Now I have to go find the channel Jimmer will be on tonight.I suggest you do the same.

Trouble in the Jungle

So Chad Ochocino is entering the last year of his contract with the Cincinnati Bengals. The attention driven receiver tweeted about where he could end up next. He named Oakland and New England. Well first off the thought of Chad being a Raider makes my head explode like that guy in Scanners. Now Chad is interested in the Raiders because Hugh Jackson is there new head coach and was Chads "fav" when he was on the Bengals staff. But the real entertainment here is when Marvin Lewis responded to Chads thoughts on being a Pat in the future. "Belichick is smarter than that" said Lewis. Say what you will about the Bengals but they just let Chad talk and don't respond. Now Belihick has a history of rehabilitating trouble making players. Corey Dillon, Randy Moss come to mind. But if Wes Welker was benched for his foot-attack on the Jets, i don't think Chads dances, 14 TV shows, or constant tweeting about the organization would go over to well. Pats are the most secretive team out there. Could you image if Chad was a Pat during "Sypgate" he would of unintentionally broke the story way before the the law firm of Scheffler and Mortensen. After Chad says whatever he wants to say the Bengals do not negotiate with change or improvement.
