remember when this was exciting?

whoopee. final four. yay. anyway, everyone else is doing it, and since i have no identity and conform to everyone else's ideas of normalcy, i feel pressured to do so as well. gimme unc over uconn in the title game, as much as it pains me to say so. everyone doubted uconn this year in the tournament, and honestly, i've been on their side since the tourney started. i always kind of liked jim calhoun. i don't know why, he seems like a smarmy old guy, but hey, sometimes i'm a fan of that kind of person.

thabeet is a beast, don't get me wrong. but the second i saw that happen (see image attached to article), every single conception i had about the man as an NBA talent literally crashed onto the floor with him. i look at that picture and i see dejuan blair, future pro, and hasheem thabeet, 7'3" center, flying through the air like he was a piece of popcorn blair didn't particularly like the taste of.

on the other hand, i do like that the tournament provides us all with a good opportunity to heap praise on tyler hansbrough. the sports media does not do this enough. what a leader! what a fighter! what a oh shut the hell up. i know i'm jealous but it doesn't mean i have to admit it. plus he plays for carolina, which isn't necessarily something you want to admit to me if you want to get on my good side. someone teach the kid how to blink.

the final four this year has very, very little drama. minus nova, i see absolutely nothing surprising about any of these teams. honestly, i may not even watch the title game if i have something better to do, and that is really saying something. especially if i have to watch tarheel nation pat each other on the backs for supporting a team associated with a school 20% of them didn't even attend. but i digress.
