My Thoughts on the Final Four (Long)
First of all I would like to say that the quality of teams is the best that I can remember and any of these teams can win it all. I know it is easy to say that they have all one 4 in a row in a very good tournament but, I honestly think these are the four best teams in the country. Kansas would have to be 4a and I think they would beat UCLA 7 out of 10 but they didnt. What is really interesting is that they all won there conference titles and three of them won conference tourney titles. That is quite impressive. If you look at the toughest road I think they all played similar tough matchups all having one marquee victory this tournament. UCLA, as I mentioned beat Kansas, Ohio State crushed an underrated Memphis team, Georgetown lucked out against both Vandy and Carolina, and Florida has handled there business all throughout, but I thought Oregon would give them a better game. As for coaches Matta and Howland are in the 4th year at there respective schools while Thompson III is in his 3rd year. Donovan has coached 9 years is the only one that has been to a final four, his 3rd, and has as you know won a national championship. I would say he gives Florida a nod in this category. However, all of these coaches are highly regarded and all have there own unique styles that there teams reflect.
Okay lets look at the UCLA vs Florida rematch of last years title game. It is easy to say UCLA lost more from last years team Jordan Farmar is gone while Florida basically has the same team. However I think this will be a better matchup. Collison has blossomed and is as good as Farmar was. He is great a stretching the D. Ship is also somebody who didnt play last year and can provide scoring. UCLA is known for the defense, espicially interior defense, where they are known for double teaming all post entries. This is going to be difficult with the skilled passing big men of Florida. This could burn them if Humphrey's and Green continue to shoot the way the have. I think the key of the game will be can UCLA control the glass and not let Floridas bigs impose there will. I think UCLA can score on Floridas D and they will will give them some problems with there quickness on the perimeter. I think this will be a close game but I think the bigs of Florida, Noah, Brewer, Horford will in the end be too much.
In the other game you have the most intriguing matchup of the year and maybe of the last 10 final fours. The return of the big man to college basketball 7'1" Greg Oden vs 7'2" Roy Hibbert. What a matchup not to mention some other skilled big men in this game Othello Hunter, Ivan Harris, Dejuan Summers, coming off a great regional, Vernon Macklin, and probably the best player in the game Jeff Green. You could probably even include highly touted tOSU freshman Daquan Cook and David Lighty and Senior glue guy, Pat Ewing Jr. in the mix for the battle inside. However I think there are two huge keys to this game, can the Georgetown backcourt match the or at least come close to matching the production of tOSU backcourt. Jamar Butler, Ron Lewis, and Mike Conley have been so good for the Buckeyes all year. They create, they lead, and they are all good shooters. THey open it up for the big guys of the Buckeyes. Sapp and Wallace need to do the same. I really think Oden and Hibbert will cancel eachother out. Hunter on Green is a fascinating matchup, but I think whatever teams guards can hit a few shots and take care of the ball will lead there team to victory. I hate saying this but it is hard for me to bet against Mike Conley and they way he is playing right now. My pick is a final matchup of Florida vs Ohio State. Either way they should be great exciting games. Monday I will give my Championship preview.

Humpday: Siennna Miller
OK I am going to say it, Jude Law, is a douche, or in terms he would better understand a wanker. He dumps Sienna Miller for Lindsey Lohan. Lindsey, not bad by any means, but come on. It makes me want to kick him in the nuts. Anyways Miller is sexy as hell and one of the hottest blonds out there. Enjoy!!!

Weekend
I had a pretty fun weekend. It was my first weekend drinking in Marshall in a while and it was actually pretty fun well not really the Marshall part but the drinking part. Friday was a rough one as we partied pretty hard. Saturday i played in the Marshall Alumni Tournament and I thought we played pretty well for a bunch of out of shape boozers, but we fell short in the Championship game to some young bucks. It was a fun time and nobody got hurt, which I thought for sure was going to happen for me. Highlight of the tourney just being back together with the old team we may have won if we were in a little better shape. After the tourney I helped Worm move into his beautiful new home which wasnt the funnest thing to do after a couple of basketball games but I was already sweaty so it was no big deal. Saturday went out with a big Marshall crew, but momentum died fast and we were home by midnight. Sunday cleaned, picked up a couch for the basement, and had dinner with the rents.
Switching topics I have meant to talk about this for a while now but havent gotten around to it. I have started watching the Sopranos, I am on the third disc of season four, and this is simply put the best television show ever to air. I dont even know if you could call it a TV show it is more like a miniseries that has aired for six years. Anyway what is there not to like about this show, it has something for everyone and it has you rooting for even the most ruthless criminals. I have seen pretty much every maffia movie released in the last 20 years and this is by far the most fascinating look on "Family orientated Italian lifestyle". The last season airs in less than two weeks so I have a lot of watching to do before then but with this show I can easily watch 3-4 episodes a night. If you have not seen an episode dont spoil anything and start from the beginning, I promise you will love it.

McRoberts to go Pro
Well it is a sad day for me, one of my all-time favorite college players has decided to leave school and head to the NBA. Most people believe he did not live up to the hype he had coming out of college but I believe he was a tremendous player who will show how good he is when he gets to the next level. He never really fit into the Duke style as he needs to use his biggest strength his athleticism and versatillity to be successful. Duke, took the air out of the ball and played a half court game forcing him to play with his back to the basket and it kind of hindered what he could do. He will be a lottery pick and look for many Sportcenter highlights at the next level. Here is a taste.
