Today marks the official tip off of the 2010 NCCA basketball tournament, and in my book, nothing else matters today. As I already told yall, I’m keeping it SEC, and pulling for John Wall and the Kentucky Wildcats to win it all. Honestly, I think the Kansas Jayhawks have a better team and they’re the favorites, but I’ll root for the boys from Kentucky over the punks from Kansas any day. Anyways, for the next few weeks a lot of people will get ignored. If you aren’t talking hoops…I really don’t wanna here it. Don’t call me, email me, text me, tweet me, facebook me, myspace me (you shouldn’t be on myspace anyways), chat me, skype me or try to socialize with me in anyway unless you’re talking hoops. If you need me, I’ll be somewhere John Wallin’. College basketball is all that matters…
Well, I hope everyone had a great weekend. The hour jump in time has me a little bit effed up, but I’m still happy to be here, and I’m ready for another week on The Block and I hope you are too. As my hoops fans already know, March Madness is upon us, and this week (and the next few weeks) is all about College hoops and the NCCA basketball tournament. And since my South Carolina Gamecocks pretty much suck when it comes to b-ball, this year, I’m pulling for John Wall and the Kentucky Wildcats to bring the NCAA title home to the SEC. Yep, I’m John Wallin’ from now until April. New week on The Block, ya’ll . Let’s go.
I wasn’t going for them, but congrats to the New Orleans Saints, Super Bowl XLIV champs, with their 31-17 victory over the Indianapolis Colts. The city of New Orleans, with all they’ve been through with Hurricane Katrina, really do deserve this win. (Plus, Drew Brees was my fantasy football QB in the Ham Squad league. And I fuxs with Reggie Bush for sticking it to Kim Kardashian on a nightly basis. So, I’m not mad at the Saints one bit). But I will say being a Reggie Bush groupie does not make you a Saints fan. So, for you hoes promiscuous girls and bandwagon ass nuccas, unless your name is Lil Wayne, Mack Maine, Jay Electronica, Curren$y, or RE, don’t try to act like you’ve been a Saints fan since Day One.
Anyways, I know people down on Bourbon Street were dummin’ last night (see for yourself below and here)…Mardis Gras is gonna be stoopid this year. Once again, congrats to the Saints. I’m mad I missed the party in N.O. last night.
This happened last night during the Cleveland Cavs’ 102-86 victory over the Miami Heat. I would taunt D. Wade on Twitter, but he’s on my fantasy team, plus he dropped his wife and now he’s fuxing Gabrielle Union (major upgrade). And he has more money than me and all my friends put together…but still, this ish was funny.
Oh yeah, Wade’s failed attempt at revenge is after the jump, if you wanna see that too.
True college football fans already know what today is…today is National Signing Day for college football programs all across the country. Which, if you’re still kinda slow to what I’m saying, that means that today high school seniors can sign a letter of intent with the college football program they intent to play for. But if you still don’t get what I’m saying than just stop reading this blog now.
To be honest, I had all intentions of watching my alma mater University of South Carolina take on the #1 ranked Kentucky Wildcats, but then my homegirl was in town from NY and since my schedule is looking kinda booked for the weekend, last night was the only time I’d have free to hang with her. And since I figured the Gamecocks would get their asses whipped (much like they do in most major sports when we face a ranked opponent), I pretty much kicked it with my big sis and forgot all about the Carolina vs. Kentucky game.
But around 11:05, as me and my homegirl were trying to figure out where the fux Don Cannon was, I got a text from my lady friend, telling me that Carolina was up 4 against Kentucky with 1:44 left (which I would encourage all men to find a shawty that watches sports, kick those non-sports-watching heffas to the curb and watch how much better your life gets).
So, I logged on to Twitter (you know, since it the #1 source for up to the minute news nowadays, and lo and behold, my timeline was going ham with all the Carolina/Kentucky tweets. Then, I logged on the ESPN.com and it was true, the Gamecocks were up on the Wildcats.
Seems like I was missing a classic, as Devan Downey was going stoopid on Kentucky, dropped 30 pts and lead the Gamecocks to a 68-62 win. Man, I know 5 Points in Columbia was rocking last night and I kinda sorta wish I was there. I mean, I haven’t felt this good to be a University of South Carolina graduate since…sh!t, probably the day I graduated college (hey, we don’t win a lot of ballgames in SC). Its days like this that I’m proud to be from South Carolina. Days like this…not so much. But it’s still SC all damn day. And go Gamecocks!
Top of the morning to ya. I hope everyone had a great weekend. Me…well for those of you that were in Columbia for me & GT’s birthday bash this past Friday, you already know how the boy R.E.’s weekend started off. And if you don’t, you can hit up my dude Clevis Harrison’s site here to checkout some pictures. I want to thank everyone that came out to celebrate my bday, we definitely made it a movie. To be honest, I don’t remember everything, but I know Carolina celebrities and bopper were in the building, and from what I heard, I was in rare form (and I pretty much ended the night looking like Brett Favre in that picture above cause I was done around 1:30). I knew sh!t was, as they say, “ham” when my mom (who begs to come to my party every year and I finally told her to come on if she wants to come) hit me with a text and I quote, “We outside. We saw those hoochies get out the cars and where afraid to come in.” Now you know a party is all turnt up when your mama points out the “hoochies.”
Anyways, the party was straight. Colts and Saints won on Sunday (I still envy Reggie Bush cause Kim Kardashian is a fine muthaf@cka, even when she’s getting beat up on TV), I’m moving up the rankings in my fantasy basketball league (random, I know), so that rounded out everything perfectly in my book. And now, here we are ready for another weekend on The Block. O lets do it!
