It is Mid March all across The Fruited Plain; so ya know what that means …. Sigh
Oh, somewhere in this favoured land the sun is shining bright,
The band is playing somewhere, and somewhere hearts are light;
And somewhere men are laughing, and somewhere children shout,
But there is no joy in ______— Our beloved team has been screwed … again!
Of the 150++ men’s college basketball teams in America, all but one of their respective highly over-caffeinated fan bases are FURIOUS … and even that one’s fan base is likely pissed off about something.
They don’t call it March MADNESS for nothing.
We’re not talking about all the actual games to be played over the next four weeks. ….. Sure there will be Buzzer-Beaters and Hail Marys and Endless Replays and Davids Beating Goliaths and Goliaths Stomping Davids and Crooked Refs and Even Crookeder Refs and Unlikely Heroes and Villains … meanwhile over 100 teams – all of whom’s players received NIL $$$$ – sitting at home convinced “we wuz robbed” because …._ .
There are, of course, several “tournaments for the left-outs” … basketball’s equivalent of Christmas In Shreveport or the Fruit Loops / Weedeater Bowl. Do those winners get rings inscribed “We might have been the 69th best team in America in 2026”.
But even those 68 teams’ fan bases are knee-jerking FURIOUS …
The one delusion that every overly caffeinated college sport fan base shares is … some mysterious “they” are jealous of their school and always screws their school with crooked refs or bad game times or 100s of other insidious ways … always … every time … Aaaiiieeeeee !
Every single team got put in “THE Hardest Bracket” because some horrible person on the “damn” committee doesn’t like their school. WHAT ARE THE ODDS of that ???
NOTE: Bubba Cunningham is NOT, I repeat NOT, on The “DAMN” Committee this year.
If it wasn’t the hardest bracket, the opening round games for “our team” are in a remote location many of our fans cannot get to … DONE ON PURPOSE!
Our opponent in the first round was purposely selected to eliminate us. WHY DID YOU PICK ON US … AGAIN?
For the Umpteenth year in a row … the entire SHAM of a March Madness Bracket is designed to penalize Our School for being so gosh-darn cool.
Hellfire … Duke fans are probably pissed about the time of their game. … or the city … or which crooked refs they will get … or their assigned arena does not offer “vegan” concessions. WHY DOES EVERYONE HATES DUKE SO MUCH … EVERY YEAR?
Ya gotta figure …. In some liberal hell-hole of a city (probably in either Virginia or California) – some goggle-eyed whack job is BLAMING TRUMP for whatever atrocities are being perpetrated on his / her / its awesome school by this March Madness Thing.
Can we expect Jasmine or Maxine or Jemele or some ESPN whozit to start screaming that “There are too many “white boys” in the tournament (maybe 7 from a quick count)… and still too many “white coaches” … how many “black folks” are on that committee? “Basketball is OUR sport … you people go play Hockey or Soccer or some stupid “white sport” … maybe Ax Throwing ?
Will the National Anthem be deleted in favor of some mullah babbling the Muslim Call to Prayer … will players be required to scream Allah Akbar after every dunk? Will there be prayer rugs with each team’s logo?
Arizona is a #1 Seed. Uh Oh … Candace Owens will somehow connect Erika Kirk to that … just you wait and see.
Jon Scheyer despite having THE Best First Four Years record as a HC of any BlueBlood program EVER, MUST win the National Championship or be labeled “Duke’s version of Matt Doherty … or Phil Bengston”.
“Thommy Boy” Tillis will hold a press conference to announce he will NOT fill out a bracket because “I am an insane media whore and I hate Trump”. CNN will make that their lead story along with a picture of a snarling Tillis biting the head off of a live sewer rat.
If UNCCH gets eliminated in the first weekend … Hubert Davis’ opinion on what happens to The Dean Dome will not matter very much.
HubertHaters ‘R Us’ “Who’s Next” Committee should note that Wes Miller – on the original short list (along with Jay Wright and, by law, Larry Brown) when Hubert was anointed – IS available. After five so-so seasons, Wes was recently “let go” at Cincinnati.
I don’t follow the various UNC Board Monkey sites … curious who the monkeys are citing as “If Not Hubert Then Who” … other than Larry Brown, of course.
Admit it … you’re still trying to recall who Phil Bengston was, aren’t you?
I was wondering …. Of the starting fives of the 64 teams in March Madness … how many of them drive exotic luxury cars costing over $80,000.00 … What’s your guess?
Of the starting fives of the 64 teams in March Madness … how many of them can name the instructors in the classes they are supposed to be enrolled in? What’s your guess?
I probably will watch the last ten – or maybe last three – minutes of games involving Duke, UNC or NCSU … UNLESS the fish are biting over at “Rocket’s Pond”. I do have my priorities.
