Blog Talk Jayhawk
“Blog Talk Jayhawk” sounds a lot better than Rock Chalk Jayhawk. Just my opinion. Not a Kansas fan, by the way, just a guy who has a disdain for North Carolina.
Tonight was pretty sweet, even though my national champion pick — UCLA — was ousted by Memphis. Shoulda’ known that Memphis’s size would take care of UCLA’s quickness. Darren Collison was ruptured up by the end of the game, fouling out, frustrated might I add. Memphis continued to get to the paint and puncture UCLA’s front court, so with all due respect to Kevin Love, you were banged around, buddy.
Going back to the Kansas and Carolina game: this game couldn’t have been more lopsided, could it? Actually, it was weird. It was like a roller coaster ride, literally and not figuratively. Kansas popped up a 20-something point lead, and led big in the teens at halftime. Carolina then ensued to erase the deficit and manage to only be down by four points at one venture in time during the game. However, Kansas then pulled away to cap of a big time win. So, in respect to the said roller coaster comparison, it was like you were going higher and higher, then all of a sudden swooping into a loopty-loop that spun you outta control on a whim. Only to realize moments later that vomit is spewing out of your mouth. Alright, my apologies, a little too graphic there.
All in all, a good night tonight. The first game was entertaining to see Kevin Love be dunked on, to add special facts by himself to fall on his ass, heeding to the “I got dunked on, so I must fall on my ass” pressure that was given. The second game was very entertaining due to the fact that Carolina knows how to make late comebacks (look at what they did to Duke in that first game they lost to them, or the game where they smirked at Tyrese Rice and Boston College), and that’s the only reason I kept watching.
For the first time in years, I’m actually excited to watch the national championship.
Disdain for Carolina? Don’t you realize that Kansas and North Carolina’s programs are very intertwined? I’m from Charlotte and I’m a lifelong Tar Heel fan and I have nothing but respect for Kansas’ program. In fact, when we’re not playing Kansas, I pull for the Jayhawks.
I wish that Kansas fans would get over their hatred of North Carolina. We gave you Larry Brown and Roy Williams. You gave us Dean Smith and also gave Roy back to us. Pull for your team, of course; I certainly pulled for mine last night. However, stop hating on Carolina. It’s getting old.
By the way, Kansas was my preseason pick for national champion. I’ll be pulling for the Jayhawks on Monday night.
For the love of reading and the written word, son, please read that I said I’m not a Kansas fan. I hate Kansas. I just hate Carolina more, which is why I’m thrilled to have watched the Jayhawks rock the Heels last night. It’s getting old with the hate on Carolina? From what I witness, Duke fans endure ten times the hate as Carolina, and they don’t play solace-in-patty-cake about it, now do they?
Don’t take the above as an insult, just take it as a lashing out at you due to the fact you ignored what I decided to write. But it’s all OK. I enjoyed the fact that you left a comment. You’ve made history on this blog, sir. Thank you.
I had UCLA and Kansas originally playing in my title game. But last week, after watching Carolina rip through the tourney, I made a bonehead move and put them in instead of Kansas. Now I’m outta luck with Memphis and Kansas getting it on on Monday night.
no Rock Chalk Jayhawk sounds much better, but thats just my opinion, and I AM a Jayhawks fan,….woot! we tore it up,… Harlem-Globetrotter style for 20 minutes. North Carolina can keep Roy Williams, Bill Self is the new standard. KU!
This is the first season ever where 4 No. 1 seeds were in the Final Four. Memphis is a great team with a lot of size, power, and heart too. You can almost expect them to clinch the championship but truthfully, I think that Kansas’ speed, depth (even without their senior), and transitional game is going to beat them out. Either way, I expect this to be within 10 points and know that the best team won. This really is an exciting Final.
