College Football This Weekend

With Ohio State not having to play a championship game this weekend, I figured I would help them and their fans out with what to watch this weekend (all times Eastern):

ACC Championship Game:
(6) Va. Tech vs. (11) Boston College 1pm on ABC

SEC Championship Game:

(14) Tennessee vs. (7) LSU 4pm on CBS

Big 12 Championship Game:

(9) Oklahoma vs. (1) Missouri 8pm on ABC

I know that we have discussed the complete mess the BCS is and how incredibly backwards it is that a team like Ohio State can waltz into the National Championship game without having to first win a conference championship game and loosing to an unranked team. I will never seriously consider the argument that the Big Ten is the best college football conference until they institute a championship game.

I realize that we are anointing Ohio State contenders in that game when Missouri obviously still has the upper hand. However they have to beat a team that has beat them 6 games straight. I hope that Missouri can pull it out and West Virginia can handle Pittsburgh so that we can be enthralled with the slobbernocker that is Missouri vs. West Virginia. Talk about a ratings grabber.

lso, I am not a huge college basketball fan. I will watch if it is on HD but other than that, I will tune in come March. However, http://www.thebutlerduo.blogspot.com/ is very good about covering basketball. Head over there if you want your dose of college basketball action.

Upset of the Century Monday Night 6 o'clock Hour

In other sport news, if you were fortunate enough to be watching CSS last night, or your TIVO, being all knowing and powerful, knew you would want to watch a college basketball game and decided to record it automatically, you were treated to a great game between the University of Alabama and the Atlantic Sun powerhouse Belmont University.

Belmont was able to pull off the upset with outstanding 3 point shooting and a last second put in by senior point gaurd Justin Hare to take the lead and beat the Crimson Tide.

Even though some people don't give much credit to SEC West Basketball schools this was a big game, and a good win for Belmont University. It has not been a good week for Alabama, not only did they lose to Belmont in basketball, but they also lost to UL Monroe (read homecoming game) in football this past Saturday.

Basement Basketball is the Best.

How many of you guys had one of those little Nerf basketball hoops when you were growing up? You know the one that hooked to the top of the door and you could shoot hoops all day. I had one when I was growing up, and I was alwyas jealous of the kids that had one of those laundry baskets that looked like a hoop and you could shoot your dirty clothes into it, those were the coolest. Who knows some of you may still have one of those hoops hanging above your front door, I am still waiting on my wife to get me one for my Birthday.

Well I found this video a while back and it is pretty funny. I guess this kid did not have a lot of friends growing up and spent a lot of time in the basement practicing his dunks. I guess he got so good he decided to tape it to show all of his imaginary friends. The best is at the end because he sounds so cocky when he says he is going to watch the video over and over again.

On a side note, if you know him, doesn't this look like a young Matt Toy? You know the video looks like the video was made in the early 90's so the timing is right, it could be him.

On With The Show

We have been getting some pretty rude comments...I will not mention who they are from. But we don't mind, we really just want people to post comments so it looks like a lot of people look at our blog. We will not censor anything...except the F word.

Anyway, thanks to all that have been reading over the blog. I thought it would be helpful to those who are out of our tournament pool this year (Jeff) to look towards the future. Follow the link to the projected group of 64 for next year...yes someone has projected who will be in the tournament next year. Never too early to study up. Be sure to have your brackets back to us by Thursday March 20, 2008 at 11:30am Eastern Time.
