So the Madness is upon us, and I must say: you are not ready. Neither am I. I swear it was just Thanksgiving. Now the Tourney is here and it’s time again to suppress the bitching and [expletive deleted]-aching that goes on when someone’s team doesn’t make the tournament
Enter VaTech.
They didn’t deserve to get in. They also shouldn’t be allowed in because a team perceived as weaker did what they were supposed to and got invited to the dance. To use a hip-hop cliche “big time players do big time thangs“. If you’re team is on the outside watching the dance, they need to STFU and hit the damn weight room. Everyone plays the bridesmaid eventually. Stop whining and get some classwork done. Your team might even consider passing a final or two without a GA standing over them slipping them answers (*cough* Florida State)
Bobby Knight put it in perspective for me. Why not add 1 more game to the season and have a mass drill-down? Thats right, folks: 128 teams enter, 64 leave. That gives the [expletive deleted] and moaners one more chance to prove they deserve to dance even though they sucked balls at times during the season. This may also help me avoid watching a scrub school like Winthrop University or Southern Alabama in the second round.
I think the worst part of this entire tourney is having to listen to Dick Vitale. He sounds like he’s taken a few shots to the throat and just never recovered. I also hear rumors that if a UNC player puts a quarter behind his ear, Ol’ Dickey’s teeth will fold back and his throat will begin to vibrate. I’m mad at that because I had to put in 2 quarters for the dual action job.
Tell the truth: Were you trapped in an elevator with Dicky V, Joe Theisman, Bill Walton and a single-shot rifle - what would you do? Here’s what I’d do: I’d butt-stroke Joey T and Billy-boy and then I’d make Dickey V eat the barrel of the rifle. A quarter is a lot of money where I come from.
