NCAA Thoughts

During this Final Four Weekend I thought I would take a few moments to reflect on College Basketball.

Before the tournament began everyone on all major sports programs said it was going to be the wildest and most unpredictable tournament in years. Fast Forward to now, and that is not the case. The Final Four has two #1 seeds and two #2 seeds; exciting. With there being a good chance that the championship game will feature the overall #1 and #2 teams (Ohio State and Florida). In years past there has always been a couple underdog cinderalla teams beating some top-ranked teams, and at least one of the Final Four teams being a seed under 4. I argue that this tournament has been the exact opposite of what was predicted. Teams beat who they were supposed to, and not many upsets. The same two teams that met in the football championship may probable meet in the basketball championship. How exciting!!

In other NCAA notes, Dick Vitale is a big fat idiot. Sportscasting must be the only job that the louder you are the better people think you are at it. If you actually listen to Dick Vitale( I know its difficult) you will notice that he is barely saying anything and what he is saying is incredibly stupid. I think because he yells so much, people just assume that he must be really good. He stumbles through his words, often says the wrong word, uses the wrong player name, and usually his predictions are false. Now he is in a commercial for Digorno's. Wow, can that man "act." The commercial would have been more effective if they just put a frozen pizza on the middle pf the basketball court and had a dog piss on it. Instead they have Dick Vitale dreaming that he is a good basketball player named "the deliveryman" and can jump 8 feet in the air. Mmmm, don't you want to eat pizza?
