All Basketball All The Time
Basketball brain. Basketball face. Basketball mouth. Basketball head. In the past 36 hours I've watched basketball for 28 of them!
Championship Week is a beautiful week, as there is wall-to-wall college basketball on tv from 9 AM to damn near midnight. So awesome. Combine my pure love for all things March Madness with the reinstated $5 churn me and Chris have going, and you have basketball mania on steroids. And Carolina doesn't even play until tomorrow!
This is also the time of year that I get to break out one of my classic rants. I HATE BIG 10 BASKETBALL!!! If there was a person who represented Big 10 basketball, they would get -10 points right now. Well, actually, that just might be Brian Cardinal, so -10 to him! The real problem that causes this atrocity to be fresh in my mind is the fact that the SEC Tournament is not televised nationally, and the Big 10 Tourney is. RIDICULOUS. The SEC Tournament is always a million times more entertaining and it drives me crazy that I can never watch it. At least I live in Pac 10 country now, and get to see that one. FREE THE SEC!!!
A Lost Life:
With all this basketball going on, it was hard for me to concentrate on Lost, and that's terrible timing because this episode had a ton of subtitles! It ended up being completely mind-blowing, with a ton of information to process...
Zoe Bell! +1 for her appearance. As soon as I saw her I figured she would be involved in a stunt (she's more stuntwoman than actress, so far), and she definitely was. +3 for the chain jump.
The Jin and Sun rundown: +2 for each for baby talk, Jin +1 for wanting a panda so bad, Jin +3 for psycho panda hunt, Sun +3 for not trusting Juliet, Sun +8 for slapping her.
Sayid +2 lounging with some lima beans and saying good morning. Ha.
Jack is an asshole -3
Sawyer +2 for teaching Jin English
Juliet for being an evil bitch -8
The captain +3 for breaking it all down!
Michael -- Boom Dizzzle, shaka boom kizzle -- +7
Miscellaneous Life:
You may have heard about the tragic death of Jamiel Shaw. The Sports Guy attended his funeral, and wrote an amazing piece about the kid. Awful. +6 to the Sports Guy.
I've loved the Houston Rockets during this 20 game stretch. They are acting like a college or high school team, with all the guys involved and cheering each other on. It's great to watch. +10 to their entire roster. (damn it, that's positive points to a Dookie, I just realized).
