Throwback Thursdays

Seriously, when's the last time you heard this song? Really throwin it back with this 1. Straight classic.



Shoutout to Returnofthenick with this 1. I know it's an all time favorite of his. Pretty sure he performed it at a talent show on his road to stardom.

J.J. Barea Dating Who?

J.J. Barea, the BACKUP point guard of the Dallas Mavericks, is currently dating former Miss Universe (2006) Zuleyka Rivera. This is ludicrous. Barea is barely 6-feet tall, a decent basketball player at best - will never be more than a backup (except for on Team Puerto Rico) - and somehow has been banging one of the spiciest women on the PLANET for the past six months. Ludicrous I tell you. Read the full article here.

Bill Murray Set To Play FDR

"Our spies tell us that it’s official: Bill Murray has agreed to star as FDR in an adaptation of the British radio play 'Hyde Park On the Hudson' to be directed by Morning Glory's Roger Michell. The project, set up at Focus Features and the UK's Film4, recounts the quasi-incestuous love affair between the president and his distant cousin, Margaret Stuckley, and takes place on the June 1939 weekend that the British King and Queen visited Roosevelt at his upstate New York cottage, in the first-ever visit to America by a member of the United Kingdom monarchy." - New York Magazine

Very interesting. Interesting because we will see Bill Murray in a rare serious role. Interesting because the film will detail a part of Franklin Delano Roosevelt's life that few people know about. And interesting because this is another A-List actor who has recently been casted in a political role...

...In the upcoming HBO film 'Game Change', a book about the 2008 Presidential Election, Ed Harris has signed on to play John McCain, Julianne Moore will play Sarah Palin, and Woody Harrelson will play Steve Schmidt (McCain's senior campaign advisor).

Leonardo DiCaprio has also been casted as J. Edgar Hoover, the first Director of the FBI, in a new biopic (2012) being directed by Clint Eastwood. DiCaprio is also casted in Martin Scorcese's film adaptation of the Pulitzer Prize winning biography 'The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt' (2013) - as the title character.

Monsters Inc Prequel Confirmed


Walt Disney Pictures officially announced today at CinemaCon that their Monsters, Inc. follow-up will indeed be a prequel and will officially be titled Monsters University.

A Monsters Inc. follow up? Sounds like another box office gem for Disney/Pixar. Goodman and Crystal are signed on to voice Mike & Sully. Tentative release date, November 2nd 2012.

12 Year Old Takes a Shit on Einstein's Grave


In some ways, Jacob Barnett is just like any other 12-year-old kid. He plays Guitar Hero, shoots hoops with his friends, and has a platonic girlfriend. But in other ways, he's a little different. Jake, who has an IQ of 170, began solving 5,000-piece jigsaw puzzles at the age of 3, not long after he'd been diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome, a mild form of autism. A few years later, he taught himself calculus, algebra, and geometry in two weeks. By 8, he had left high school, and is currently taking college-level advanced astrophysics classes—while tutoring his older classmates. And he's being recruited for a paid researcher job by Indiana University. Now, he's at work on a theory that challenges the Big Bang—the prevailing explanation among scientists for how the universe came about. It's not clear how developed it is, but experts say he's asking the right questions. "The theory that he's working on involves several of the toughest problems in astrophysics and theoretical physics," Scott Tremaine of Princeton University's Institute for Advanced Studies—where Einstein (pictured) himself worked—wrote in an email to Jake's family. "Anyone who solves these will be in line for a Nobel Prize." It's not clear where Jake got his gifts from. "Whenever I try talking about math with anyone in my family," hetold the Indianapolis Star, "they just stare blankly." But his parents encouraged his interests from the start. Once, they took him to the planetarium at Butler University. "We were in the crowd, just sitting, listening to this guy ask the crowd if anyone knew why the moons going around Mars were potato-shaped and not round," Jake's mother, Kristine Barnett, told the Star. "Jacob raised his hand and said, 'Excuse me, but what are the sizes of the moons around Mars?' "After the lecturer answered, said Kristine, "Jacob looked at him and said the gravity of the planet ... is so large that (the moon's) gravity would not be able to pull it into a round shape.""That entire building ... everyone was just looking at him, like, 'Who is this 3-year-old?'"


You almost had me there Jake, you may be fooling all these other people but I got my eye on you. Anyone can sit there throwing out made up equations in between bites of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches that supposedly prove Einstein wrong, but I see what you're really doing. What gave you away you ask? Take a look at this: ". . .and has a platonic girlfriend".


BULLSHIT!


If this isn't just Jake spitting game to get down with 12 year old sluts I don't know what is. These bitches are probably just sitting there getting their mind's blown as Jake reveals the secrets of our universe, one thing leads to another and next thing they know they're back at his house giving him an HJ under the table while he munches on a PB&J. Kids a pro.


(P.S. How about that mom? We get it. You watch Ellen, you're retarded. Now shut the fuck up so Jake can rewrite modern day Physics in between bites.)

President Obama to Address Nation Tonight


President Obama will be cutting your Seinfeld/Two & A Half Men re-runs short tonight ~ Obama is addressing the nation from DC tonight regarding those bombs were dropping daily in Libya. In short; A little over a week ago Obama disregarded Congressional approval and joined forces with our boys in Europe to start Bombing the shit out of Libya in hopes of taking out oppressing dictator Muammer Gaddafi. And tonight we find out what went down in the last week, stay near the tube around 7:30 ET.

And Then There were 4

The 2011 NCAA tournament has officially gone crazy. In what is being called "the most unlikely" Final 4 of all time, VCU, Butler, Uconn, and Kentucky have all marched unscathed onto Houston. Here's a rundown of the 2nd weekend of the tournament.

The East

In the Sweet 16, the perennial favorite, Ohio St. took on the Kentucky wildcats in a wild finish in Newark. Brandon Knight, who is proving himself to be one of the best, and most clutch players in the tournament came up with the game winning shot, upsetting The Ohio St. University, and sending Jared Sullinger on a Mcdonalds binge that still hasn't ended. The other game in Newark featured North Carolina and Marquette, who Carolina breezed past with little effort, setting up a matchup of the 2 winningest programs in college basketball history. In yesterday's action, Kentucky proved to be too much for UNC, as once again Brandon Knight stepped up and controlled the game, hitting clutch 3 after clutch 3. Kentucky took home the W 76-69, sending John Calipari to his 3rd final 4, with a different team each time. Let's try and not vacate this one Cal. UNC was sent home packing, and Roy Williams was trying to auction off his "timeouts" on Ebay, because he didn't use one the entire tournament. Kentucky advances out of the East Bracket.

The West

The West featured another favorite, Duke, taking on Arizona in the Sweet 16. Duke played a solid 1st half, but the Wildcats proved to be too much for the Blue Devils, in the 2nd, shooting 70% behind the 3 point line, and 100% on getting every call. Besides that, Arizona really played their butts off, out-rebounding the Blue Devils and sending Kyle Singler, Nolan Smith, and potential #1 draft pick Kyrie Irving home early. Not only was this a disappointing loss, but it means that Coach K will have to surpass Bob Knight on the all-time wins list next season, not in the Final 4 this year. I would like to thank all of my friends who harassed me for a full day after the Duke loss, as I can only wait until your teams lose now, for you will never hear the end of it. Arizona seemed to celebrate this win as if it was the national championship, which may have affected their intensity and motivation for their next game. Stay classy, Arizona. Uconn continued their torrid play as they got a fairly easy win against San Diego St, once again proving the weakness of the Mountain West. Kemba Walker was Kemba Walker, and they advanced to the Elite 8 to take on Arizona. In this matchup of 2 NCAA stars, Kemba Walker and Derrick Williams, Uconn barely survived, winning 65-63. Arizona had 2 chances as time expired to win the game, but came up slightly short, as Kemba Walker and Uconn won their 9th game in 19 days, and improved their undefeated record to 12-0 on neutral courts this year.

The Southwest

In the Southwest, Kansas treated Richmond as if it was the team of asian guys at open gym on Thursday nights, giving them a 20 point beatdown, 77-57. In the other game, VCU beat Florida St. on an in-bounds play with 7 seconds left, taking home a 72-71 win, advancing them to play Kansas in the Elite 8. Kansas, yet to have play a team higher than a 9 seed, got it taken to them by VCU and Coach Shaka Smart. VCU hit 9 first half 3's against Kansas, giving themselves a 14 pt halftime advantage. Kansas, led by Bill Self, one of the worst in-game coaches of our generation, made a few half-time adjustments, but could not capitalize on enough VCU mistakes, and fell to VCU 71-61. The 11th seeded VCU Rams won their 5th game in the tournament, and if they go on to win the entire thing, would set an NCAA record, winning 7 tournament games. VCU's head coach, Shaka Smart is going to see some pretty serious offers from big time schools coming his way after the tournament, and as a young 33 year old coach, he will for sure get a huge contract.

The Southeast

In the Southeast, we saw a matchup of Butler and Wisconsin, 2 of the whitest teams in the NCAA take eachother on in a thrilling game. Well, not really. It was definitely a grind it out type of game, as Butler built a huge 1st half lead, and weathered a Wisconsin run in the 2nd half to take home a 61-54 Win. They moved on to face the winner of BYU and Florida, where Jimmer Fredette came up just short, ending his phenomenal college basketball career in an overtime loss. At least he can get laid now, right? Florida beat BYU 83-74 in overtime, as Erving Walker and co. proved to be too much. Florida and Butler matched up in the Elite 8 in one of the most entertaining games of the tournament thus far, as Butler hit every single big shot it needed to in order to upset the Gators in overtime, 74-71. I don't know what it is about the Butler Bulldogs, but between Matt Howard, Shelvin Mack, their coach Brad Stevens, or the rest of the team that are perfect role players, they just get the job done.

Final 4 predictions

In of the most improbable Final 4 matchups in history, #8 seed Butler will be taking on #11 seed VCU on Saturday.

#8 Butler vs. #11 VCU, Saturday, 6:09 p.m.
WINNER=Butler

#3 Uconn vs. #4 Kentucky, Saturday, 8:49 p.m.
WINNER=Uconn

National Champions------BUTLER BULLDOGS (How can you pick against them?)

Freaks And Geeks-Childish Gambino

Here's another one that Jimmy Juice recently put me onto. Childish Gambino murders this track, straight up. Pure fire. Nothin else to say.




Actually here is something definitelyyy worth adding, Childish Gambino is the alter ego side project of stand up comedian Donald Glover. For those wh don't know, this hilarious dude was one of the head writers on NBC'S 30 ROCK and currently stars on Community. Both are awesome shows worth a check out as well.

Mattress Music Mondays

Another weekend, another unsuccessful attempt @ making some noise under the sheets. The fuck is going on lately. Supposed to be nice weather, girls dressing up in skirts, bikinis, and skanky tops, but no, snow is on the forecast for this week. Anyways, this jam is one for anyone who is going through, or likes "Make up sex". What's the verdict on make up sex? Is it better than breakup sex? Tough for me to say because I don't think I've ever participated in either. More of the hit it and quit it type.



Next song is one of the real Mattress Music Gems. A total diamond in the rough. Tell me, when's the last time you heard this greatness?

Swedish House Mafia - Save The World Tonight

Swedish House Mafia has been doin the damn thing of late with hit songs "Know Your Name" and "Silvia 2 Ibiza". However, this song right here, "Save The World Tonight" is going to be bigger than them all. Can almost guarantee this song being bumped at parties all summer long. Below is just a sneak peek of the song from a recent concert, so you're getting a real inside look at what this song is about. Can't wait till the finalized version drops.

Next For Amy Adams...Lois Lane


From Lowell Mass to Planet Krypton. Amy Adams (The Fighter, Enchanted) has signed on to play Lois Lane in the re-booted Superman franchise. Director Zach Snyder (Sucker Punch) still has not settled on an actor to play Superman. But with 3 time Oscar nominee Adams on board and Christopher Nolan (Inception) producing Snyder is slowly setting up an all-star cast and crew. DC comics will need everything they can muster to compete with Marvel and the upcoming Avenger series. Early prediction for Superman, I go with John Hamm (Madmen), Hamm's career has been pretty #Ham lately - Not to mention Snyder already worked with Ham on the critically-destroyed SuckerPunch.

Los ft Cory Gunz, Sean Hayes - Money Feels Better

Shoutout to Jimmy Juice for putting me onto this song. As he would say, its "super smoothe". The hook on this song absolutely kills it. Sounds almost exactly like The Dream. Either way, this song has sex appeal written all over it.

"Had ya like damn this tha best sex ever, ya pussy felt good but my $ feels bettaaaa"
-swag-

Had to edit this post cuz I am in LOVE with this song. Bitch we about ta blow up.

Looks like the apple has fallen very, very far from the tree


Goone - Hypnotized ft. O.V.

OK. Let's get this over with before I have to hear about it from another poster on here. Yes, Duke got sodomized tonight. However, Arizona would have beat any team in the nation tonight the way they played in the 2nd half. Dudes straight up did not miss a single shot. Let the haters hate. It's 6 AM as I write this, drank 3/4 of a bottle of nyquil in an attempt to fend off the pain, but still haven't been able to sleep. Anywhooo, here's a video from a dude named Goone called Hypnotized. Really feelin this song, has that electro-type rap to it which is definitely some party music. Enjoy ladies and gents.

BEST WEEK EVER


Where will you be April 11-17? Because the answer should be Bloomington, Indiana. Book a Flight, Catch a Bus, take a train, hitchhike, whatever it takes for you to make it to Indiana University’s Little 500 week, just fucking do it. ‘Little 5’ is a seemingly simple bike race that takes place at the end of the week, sike. ‘Little 5’ is commonly referred to as ‘The Worlds Greatest College Week’. Endless parties spilling out of houses onto the streets, smokes showing more skin than you can imagine, A-List concerts, Booze Cruises, and a 30+ team bike race with nearly 25,000 intoxicated fans in attendance to cap the week. With apologies to DirkDiggler, ‘Lil 5’ makes Wisco’s 'Mifflin' look like a one-kegger sausage fest that gets busted at 12. I’ll Let the Lineup speak for itself.

Tuesday April 12th: Lil Wayne, Nicki Minaj, Rick Ross @ Assembly Hall

Not a bad way to start the week off huh? Weezy, Minaj and Ross will murder the floor of Assembly Hall more than any of Tom Crean’s teams have done in the last three years combined. The cherry on the top - Travis Barker is rumored to be drumming for Weezy, the two collaborated for several tracks on Rebirth.

Thursday April 14th: The 2nd Annual Glowfest: Pretty Lights & Chiddy Bang

I won’t make it for Weezy but I wouldn’t miss this for the world. PantyDropper has already posted some Pretty Lights concert videos- I almost tripped my face off just watching them. Add to that the smooth lyrical flow of ChiddyBang, and this will be the craziest concert of the week.

Friday April 15th: Wiz Khalifia & Mac Miller

Lite up an L' and put it in the air as Taylor Gang and Mac come together to cap the week’s concert schedule. Unless you live in Wyoming, you would know these are two of the hottest in the game right now. Mac just dropped his mix-tape Best Day Ever and Wiz is coming out with Rolling Papers this weekend.

Throwback Thursdays

It's Thursday again which means that its time for some throwbacks. Here's a jam I heard on the radio today comin home from lunch. Gotta love some Mary J.



Next song is a personal favorite, def something I used to bump as a middle-schooler thinking I was real fresh with my all sweat-jumpsuit outfits (didn't wear jeans till high school). Jay-Z and UGK tell it like it is.
"You know I thug 'em, fuck 'em, love 'em, leave 'em Cause I don't fuckin' need 'em"

"The Fukushima 50"

"The Fukushima Fifty- an anonymous band of lower and mid-level managers- have battled around the clock to cool overheating reactos and spent fuel rods since the disaster on March 11" (Daily Mail UK)

As the dead/missing toll in Japan reaches nearly 26,000 persons, everyone needs to take a minute to pay homage to the 50 brave souls still working tirelessly inside the Fukushima Dai-ichi Power Plant.

"Five are believed to have already died," according to the Daily Mail, which should be taken with a grain of salt, "and 15 are injured while others have said they know the radiation will kill them." (Gawker)

Kobes for Harrison Barnes?

His "Airness" Michael Jordan talked to the UNC basketball team and had some words about Harrison Barnes' sneakers.
"Hey dude, next time I see you in those Kobe Bryant's, I'm going to cut you right off. I don't care if your feet kill you, you're going to wear those Jordan's,"
Jordan just being a boss here.
I know Kobe's are pretty sweet but the chance to rock any Jordan you want is priceless. Harrison better lace up some Air Jordan's and beat Marquette. Jordan finishes...
"If you're going to keep winning, you can wear them ... but that Duke game, you got killed."
BOOM ROASTED


The SPEECH

Leaked: First Full Length Trailer for Captain America

It was supposed to be released tomorrow but earlier tonight Entertainment Tonight leaked the first trailer for Captain America: The First Avenger. Shit looks crazy, comic con fanatics are jizzing their jorts as we speak. The tease of the Red Skull, at the 1.48 mark, alone got me wet. Check it out, only 300 views on youtube.

Bunga Bunga










These are pics sniped at an infamous Bunga Bunga party thrown by that stud Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi. This guys is just #winning throwing wild Italian sex parties every night. Hot girls looking good and hooking up with each other left and right. I'm pretty sure the only rules for these parties are the chicks have to be sexy or be prostitutes, most likely a combination of both.

But anyway, if we're not having Bunga Bunga parties seven nights a week this summer I'm going to consider it a failure.

(P.S. Bunga's going to be the new word for party, starting now.)

Adair Lion - Sicka Than Yo Average (RIP BIGGIE)

Came across this song/video today and was seriously impressed. Anytime an artist samples Biggie it can be a little risky, but Adair Lion kills this. Song is super super fresh. Rex Arrow on the visuals.

New Captain America Footage

Last Night Entertainment Tonight aired new extended footage of Captain America: The First Avenger. Marvel continues to hype up their most anticipated movie of the 'Pre-Avenger' line of flicks (Iron Man I & II, Incredible Hulk, Thor). Look for Captain America to be the blockbuster of the summer and compete for all-time box office records. I'll post the first full length trailer which is dropping tomorrow.

Block of the year?

Get the fuck out.

Human Planet


Several weeks ago, I posted a sweet video of that crazy dude holding his breath for like 3 minutes as he walked the ocean floor catching fish (reposted below). This was a clip from the upcoming series Human Planet. As cool as the clip was, I didn't quite register that this would be just one of many awesome clips showcasing the amazing human spirit shown in Human Planet. Well, let me tell you I was very happy to find out that Human Planet will be airing as a 6 part series starting April 10th on Discovery. Any trailer with a Sigur Ros song in it pretty much seals the deal for me. The following is a writeup by Metacritic.

"This six-part documentary series is a co-production of the BBC and Discovery, and comes from the producers of the acclaimed series Life and Planet Earth. Unlike those predecessors, this new program examines the human race and our relationship to nature, including our ability to survive in the planet’s most extreme environments; each hour of the series focuses on a different habitat, from rainforest to island to desert. Expect plenty of great-looking HD footage, shot in over 70 locations over the past four years." - Metacritic


New trailer for the upcoming series

World's Greatest Extra

TV Shows To Look Out For In 2011

I, as well as JohnLocke, are huge TV buffs. It has always been a recurring theme that the best TV shows are broadcasted in the Fall. Shows like Dexter, Modern Family, Mad Men, 30 Rock, Entourage, The Office, and new series Boardwalk Empire and The Walking Dead are all great and worth tuning into.

Yet in the Spring, the quality of television tends to fade. Of course, there are exceptions: Californication, Jersey Shore (at times), The Good Wife. But the majority (i.e. The Cape) leave us wanting more.

Here are some upcoming shows (listed below) that I am excited about, and you should be too.

March 24:
11:00 The Hard Times of RJ Berger (MTV)

March 28:
10:00PM Nurse Jackie (Showtime)
10:30PM United States of Tara (Showtime)

April 3:
9:00PM The Borgias (Showtime)
10:00PM The Killing (AMC)

April 17:
10:00 PM Game of Thrones (HBO)

Apr 27:
10:00 PM South Park (Comedy Central)

June 12:
9:00 PM True Blood (HBO)

TBA - Breaking Bad (AMC)
TBA - Curb Your Enthusiasm (HBO)
TBA - How To Make It in America (HBO)

Tayyib Ali - California Love

I posted Tayyib's first video, "Keystone State of Mind" a few weeks ago when it debuted, and it got to 100,000 views in about 20 days. Gotta love this dude even though he's from Philly. His lyrics mixed with his professional videos leave me wanting to see him blow up, and I think he eventually will. Check it.

Calvin Harris - Awooga

Just started listening to Calvin Harris a few months ago when a couple of bangin chicks requested some of his music when I was Dj'ing...no lie. However, I'm on top of most of his music now, and I love it. Definitely up there with the likes of Tiesto, Swedish House Mafia, David Guetta, etc. if you like club bangers, check this song out. Def think Dirk Diggler will be diggin this.

Cliff Lee and Jayson Werth

Baseball?? huh? Oh that's right there is life after March Madness. With opening day approaching I caught up with Cliff Lee and Jayson Werth for a little pre-season interview.

Tigers Google Commercial

Since Tiger is back in the News I thought I would throw up a funny Tiger Woods parody video.

Twitters 5th birthday


I started using twitter recently, I know it has a bit of a bad rep but I dig it. Most of the websites I check daily use twitter. So instead of checking them all, I can check one place to see what all of them have posted. Regardless of whether you like or dislike, use or don't use twitter, this is a video worth peepin

Wiz Khalifa ft. Currensy - Rooftops

2nd leaked track from Wiz Khalifa's new album "Rolling Papers" dropping a week from tomorrow, March 29th. Really loving this track. "Used ta not be allowed in tha buildin but now we on tha rooftop." Sum fire right there.

Madden 2012 Cover Bracket





So for Madden 2012 EA has decided to let the fans choose who gets cursed. I honestly didn't know how pathetic some of the teams in the NFL were until I saw some of these representatives. Brian Orakpo for the Redskins? Jordan Gross for the Panthers? Jake Long for the Dolphins? The fucking 12th man for the Seahawks? At least give us someone on the field Seattle!

Ndamukong Suh has my vote, absolute beast.

Also how does Sanchez get the Jet's spot? Rex Ryan is a no brainer here.

Tiger Woods Isn't Just Fucking Up His Golf Game


Simply I don't understand Tiger "missing cuts and pwning sluts" Woods. How he gave up his lifestyle, his game, his swagger is beyond me. But now he has simply mind-fucked us all. Stories and pictures are emerging over the network of Tigers new girl, 22 year old student Alyse Lahti Johnston. Who??? At first when I had never heard of this broad, I assumed Tiger must be bagging a porn star (which we all know is a #winning move nowadays). Johnston is no porn star. She's a student at Northwood University in Florida, she's an aspiring golfer, she's the daughter of a multi-millionaire, and she's the recent recipient of a DUI. Really Tiger, I'll slay just about anything at a club and even I'm skeptical of this broad. Yeah she kinda resembles Woods' ex-goddess Elin Nordegren, but i'm not sold. Johnston's friends say she is a 'super-smart wild child' and 'her and Tiger are just having a good time hooking up".

Images of Alyse Lahti Johnston

Beach Cruisin

Futuristic, Vice Versa, and Era team up for this smooth R&B jam called "Beach Cruisin." The song itself is pretty good, but I can't explain the need that I have for summer and the beach right now. Naturally, the day after Spring Break ends, it snows up and down the East Coast. Regardless, these guys in this video seem to be livin it up all along the beach, which brings me to a question. What is the proper way to approach girls on the beach? Like do you do the old overthrow the football move and fall onto them? Do you use a younger sibling and pretend you lost him/her to spark a conversation? Do you just go up to girls tanning and stand over them and look like a creep? Do you wear a man thong? I'm not sure there really is a correct way to go about it, guess it just comes down to social skills.

Wiz Khalifa- "The Race"

Wiz Khalifa leaks "The Race" from his newest album "Rolling Papers", dropping March 29. Figures the release date is March 29th, the same night he's performing @ The Roseland Ballroom in NYC.

First Weekend Recap

The first weekend of March Madness is over, and my bracket is officially fucked, but what else is new?

The East

The #1 overall seed took care of business in dominating fashion, as Ohio State looked pretty damn good in their first 2 games of the tournament. Jared Sullinger was busy clogging up the paint and not getting called for 3 seconds in the key, Jon Diebler was chucking 3's, and Aaron Craft was busy being white. After barely surviving a close call with Princeton, Kentucky handled West Virginia in the 2nd round with ease, as Brandon Knight went for 30. The Ohio St. v. Kentucky matchup is one of, if not the best Sweet 16 game. Marquette dominated Barry Badrinath's Xavier Muskies, and then took care of business in defeating Syracuse, moving on to face a North Carolina team who cheated to beat a Washington team that did everything in it's power to lose the game. What was all of that nonsense about the Big East being the best conference in the nation? If my eyes aren't mistaking me, I see only 2 of the 11 Big East teams that were in the tournament. I also see 3 teams from the ACC who apparently had a "down" year this year. Right.


The West

In the west, Duke moved on to the Sweet 16 once again, also giving Coach K his 900th career win, in a game that was way too close for comfort with Michigan. Michigan sodomized Tennessee in the first round, and pretty much sealed the deal on Bruce Pearl being back next year. I'll hand it to Michigan. They played a nearly perfect game, but came up a little short. That's what happens when you go against the GOAT(Greatest Of All Time). With the return of Kyrie Irving, and a week of practice, look for Duke to be very good on Thursday Night. Arizona and Texas both survived tough first round matchups, and then played a nailbiter themselves, as Texas, a historically uber-talented squad with no coaching whatsoever, somehow managed to give the game away to Arizona, creating a rematch of the 2001 National Championship between themselves and Duke. Uconn rolled over both of their opponents, and have yet to face anyone remotely tough. Speaking of their matchup with Cincy in the 2nd round, why does the committee put these Big East teams in positions to play eachother in the NCAA tournament, if they have already played eachother twice, and maybe even 3x in the regular season. Enough already. Temple beat Penn St. in a battle for Pennsylvania, and then lost a heart-breaker to a tough San Diego St. team in Double OT, creating a Uconn v. San Diego St matchup.



The Southwest

Kansas marched on with relative ease, as they eliminated my sleeper Final 4 pick in Illinois last night. #12 seed Richmond took care of Vanderbilt in the 1st round, and dominated Morehead St. in the 2nd, as they advanced to the Sweet 16 for the 1st time since 1985. VCU advanced to the Sweet 16, as they have now won 3 games in the tournament. They have looked pretty dominant thus far, absolutely spanking both Georgetown and Purdue. In the bottom half of the bracket, Notre Dame took on Florida St. last night and got demolished in all aspects of the game. Florida St. posed matchup problems for ND all night, and advanced to the Sweet 16, creating an unorthodox looking matchup between the #10 seed Fl St. Seminoles and the #11 seed VCU Rams.



The Southeast

In the Southeast, we saw the 1st #1 seed to go down. And to who else but Butler? These guys are straight up giant killers. Brad Stevens is undoubtedly one of the best coaches in the nation, and its only a matter of time before he gets a ridiculous offer from a top notch school. Back to their game with Pittsburgh though. This was probably the most controversial game of the tournament yet, as there were 2 fouls committed in the last 1.8 seconds. As I was watching this game with a few buddies, we couldn't believe the sequence of events that occured. Nevertheless, Butler advances to the Sweet 16 again, and will face a tough Bo Ryan coached Wisconsin team who had a phenomenal win against Kansas St. This Sweet 16 matchup may account for the most white players on the court at 1 time in Sweet 16 history, so look out for that. As I have been saying all season long, St. Johns stayed true to their color, being a fluke, as they could not hang with Gonzaga. The Zags moved on to face the one of the 2 players known on only a first-name basis in the NCAA tournament, as Jimmer Fredette put on a show, dropping a lite 34 on Mark Few's Gonzaga Bulldogs. Michigan St. flopped....to no surprise, and Florida took care of UCLA, setting up a very good game with BYU in the Sweet 16.
