NCAA Basketball Championship Game Open Thread
So it's evil vs.....less evil? Annoying? Just blah? Two storied programs going at it, so it has that. Maybe a good game. Though Calipari would really have to Calipari it to not roll this Jayhawk team. Oh well, if Kentucky wins it'll probably be vacated before this thread ends. I suppose Kansas winning could flip some pool final results. Kentucky winning, not so much.

They should get this guy. What better team to pass the reins from the Fro to the Brow? Even Joe couldn't screw this up.
Give fans something to wear to the games too.

I'm not sure if I want to watch the game yet.
I have a bunch of work to do and playing NHL seems like a better way to procrastinate than watching a game that likely won't be in the record books in 5 years.

Sad Days
Sad Days
Championship Games are always sad for me, cuz I know that as soon as it's over, it's the furthest point we can be from that sport coming back to our viewing pleasure. I don't want to watch this game, but I will. I can't help it, I love sports.....

I purposely refrain from having sex to fill the first month of "No Michigan Football" bordem. I can't take the risk of having a baby during opening weekend or ND weekend.
This is the only time abstinence sounds like a good idea to me.

Gotta Watch

Those that call yourselves basketball fans, exactly why wouldn't you watch?! I don't think Kansas will get rolled as many do; I think they can hang around and compete with Kentucky's athleticism.

They can't talk about the wins because they were vacated. But the losses stand.
