If Mascots Ruled the World...

My picks for the first four Sweet 16 games tonight...based on mascots alone.

(2) San Diego State Aztecs v. (3) UConn Huskies

- Close matchup, but in the end human intelligence prevails.  Aztecs take the W with a couple of late spear throws to the heart of the Uconn players. San Diego State by 2.  

(3) BYU Cougars v. (2) Florida Gators

- Talk about a toss up.  Gators have sheer force and strength on their side, while the cougars have speed and agility.  But can cougars fight in water? No.  Sorry Jimmer, Gators by 7.  

(5) Arizona Wildcats v. (1) Duke Blue Devils

- I'm not exactly sure what Blue Devils are, but there is no doubt that they can take down a bunch of glorified house-cats.  Duke by 15.

(8) Butler Bulldogs v. (4) Wisconsin Badgers

- Would a badger defeat anything in this tournament? I mean, come on, out of all the ferocious members of the animal kingdom you pick an ugly hybrid of a skunk and raccoon?  Plus, don't forget these bulldogs are experienced fighters.  Bulldogs by 5.

- Major

Weekend Highlights:

1) Lebron's crying!
2) Celtics are streaking!
3) BC's Dancing?
4) Sucks to be Brandon Davies...but at least he got some!
5) Charlie Sheen for President!

Just Jimmer It

One of the biggest games of the NCAA Basketball regular season is tomorrow.  I doubt anyone would’ve guessed it would be between two teams from the Mountain West Conference. I mean, does anyone even watch that shit? Before this year, no one bothered with the Mountain West. Why are people watching now? Because BYU's Jimmer Fredette went ape shit all over the NCAA.  


The game between #7BYU and #4San Diego State will be a showdown between the two powerhouses this season from the Mountain West.


Jimmer Fredette has taken over ESPN highlights this year, and there have been a lot of talks about how early in the NBA draft he will go. I remember when he was in high school and he played against my school. Everyone would talk about whether Jimmer could make it to the NBA. Most said he was too slow, too short, and too white. 


This is a valid point because, seriously, how many white people do you see in the NBA? Jason Kidd doesn't even count because even he's half-black. I mean, other than Dirk and Nash, I can’t think of many more - no one decent at least.   

Jimmer Fredette is on track to be National Player of the Year, and he should be. He is averaging 27.4 ppg and has only scored under 20 points three times this year. He shoots 90% from the free throw line and fucking kills it from behind the arc, and if you’ve seen any highlights you know "behind the arc" includes anywhere over half court.  For all his contributions to his team, he is clearly the most valuable player in all the NCAA. 


Tomorrow when BYU takes on San Diego State University, all eyes will be on Jimmer. A win, and they should undoubtedly be considered for a number one seed for the NCAA tournament.
