Halftime at the Commons
Not up to much tonight except watching basketball (Washington up 5 at the half) and going through a bunch of old photos I had forgotten I scanned.
First off, I really don't remember being this skinny when I lived in Temple.
Second, some observations from the games I've watched tonight and last night.
— Villanova is the Phoenix Suns of the NCAA. When everything's clicking, they look unstoppable. They're good enough to beat most teams. But I think the really good teams out there will beat them four times out of seven. BC was not a really good team.
— If Brandon Roy keeps this up, he gets my nomination for Dwayne Wade of the 2006 tournament. First time I've seen him play. He looks impressive — man, can he pass — and like he'll be a quality pro.
— Rudy Gay, on the other hand, looks like Marvin Williams.
— LaMarcus has to be the first big man off the board in the draft.
— After seeing 'em both play, I think Morrison and Redick will both be decent to good pros, but their performances this tournament have to drop them both about ten picks, right?
— Thirty-second judgement on Georgetown-Florida: for the sake of future entertainment, Florida better win. Georgetown plays a style that is mildly more exciting than watching us play at Hancock.
— White guys on West Virginia? Annoying as all fuck — get off the ground, Hair-bear! White guys for Washington, complete with rookie-season-Darko bleach hair: kind of amusing.
Live thoughts, because you care so much:
— How come people don't talk more about this Josh Boone guy? He's the only one the team who looks like he gives a shit.
— The man who invented the TV time-out should be cursed eternally to play in an offense coached simultaneously by Mike Fratello, Pat Riley, and Jeff Van Gundy.
— Way to go, refs. Attempting to take control of a game (that you let Calhoun already sour with all his bitching) by calling a weenie double technical on the two marquee players in this game, which then sends Roy to the bench: well done.
— You know what? Fuck Connecticut. This game is quickly becoming bullshit.
— News flash: Rudy Gay can jump step! This makes him extraordinary!
— Did UConn just score on an airball?
— C'mon, Florida dude. ... Sweet. Hey, why are we at a commercial break? This game is over!
— Damnit, Roy is not getting it done. No Wade for you!
— Wait! There he goes.
— Seriously, the competition committee should look into reducing the number of time-outs.
— Jensen, you bleach-headed idiot.
— This overtime sucks.
— No! NOOO! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
— (Stunned silence)
— My God, what a load of horse shit.
