A Verse of Maydogma: Title Game Edition
Thoughts while wishing the West Coast falls into the Pacific Ocean
Four #1 seeds in the Final Four = everyone in America saying “Why didn’t I just just pick that?”
Has any tournament game NOT been a blowout?
Fucking Roy Williams…
If it had been Florida and Ohio St. in the NIT finals, I could have written a book series entitled: “Picking the NIT Correctly: The Joy of Winning While Still Feeling Like a Loser.”
This tournament has been like one big “fuck you” to me switching my usual selections patterns from the last few years. Think about it:
You want to NOT pick Kansas as a 1 seed? Fine, here they are in the Finals.
You want to NOT pick Michigan St in the Elite Eight? Fine, let them win two games.
You want to NOT pick a 1 loss team? Fine, here they are in the Finals.
.You want to call the Big East overrated but pick them anyway? Fine, no Final Four teams for you.
You want to pick Duke for the Final Four? Fine, here they losing the in second round
So let’s see, it’s Tennessee vs. UConn in the woman’s finals again and….wait, it’s NOT Tennessee vs. UConn? WTF? What referee is gonna get fired for that one? Ten Bucks says a league official has already called Geno saying “Don’t worry, big guy, we’ll make it up to you next year…”
”Because I couldn’t possibly care how you did in your pool, but HAVE to tell you about mine”: 2008 Edition.
Let’s just say UCLA losing cost me 900 fucking dollars and leave it at that. Bet the farm on this prop: “In 2009, Maydog will pick against UCLA in round 1 due to spite, but UCLA will win the national championship.”
Sing it with me: IN ONE SHINING MOMENT / IT'S ALL ON THE LINE/
ONE SHINING MOMENT / THERE FROZEN IN TIME / ONE SHINING MOMENT....
Finals Prediction: Memphis 70 - Kansas 50 or Kansas 70 – Memphis 50. Either way, I’m expecting a blow out.
