Just when I thought that I was out they pull me back in.

I understand this is from Godfather 3, and is near blasphemy to quote, but it is so damn appropriate.

Damn you Bill Self, this is a Kansas basketball post.

I have done so well all year, I was at Allen during the ORU debacle and all year I have been wait and see, but the fan in me has taken over. I am rationalizing everything. Kicking the shit out of everyone at home? Check. Winning road games where we don’t play great? Check. Winning when some of our best players don’t excel? Check.

They have me again. I really think we will roll over on Tejas. Everything nationally that has needed to happen has happened. Florida has gone in the tank. UNC, we will get back to that. Wisconsin lost one of their most imp’t players. aTm lost a big game on the road. We are poised to win the reg. season outright and at the very least get to the finals of the tourney. If we do this we get a number one seed. Our top seven are the best in the nation, all the talking heads are starting to talk about us, we are at the top of most everyone’s list.

I wanted to wait and be benign, I did, but everything is falling into place and once again I am sitting here asking “why not us?”

Talked to my Dad tonight and all year I have been the naysayer and I tell him that they have started to give me hope again and he simply tells me that he has seen it coming and he has heard it in my voice the last two weeks. He knew I would fall into line.

/preparing for another heartbreak, this may be an ugly March for me.

That being said, I will have all of the first and second round games on at my house through directv. If you want to come over, you are welcome.

Rock Chalk. Fuck.

For those of you who haven’t been following UNC, I will tell you this. Roy is playing 10 players more than 11.5 minutes a game, including the incompetent Bobby Fraser and Wes Miller. Seriously, Wes fucking Miller, this kid is awful. You know why Roy is playing him? His asst/to ration is 2.8 (so is Fraser’s btw) but he shoot 31% from the field (Fraser shoots 37%). You know what they do well? Hustle, and lead and slap the floor and whatever. He has no discipline, no line-up. Here we are a month from pay-day and the commentators during the game are wondering what the hell he is doing.

Ok, don’t read on. How many timeouts do you think Roy ended the game with? In case you don’t know he gets an extra round of golf for every unused TO. Think about it. Let me give you some context, G-Tech went on a 20-7 run in the first half and a similar run 5 minutes into the second half and Roy called no timeouts.

and the answer? 3. They finished the game with three time-outs. He gets to use those tonight with Wanda when he is about ready to go. You know, hey Wanda TO, we need to slow down. They got out-hustled, out rebounded 34-25. Their guards played awful. They looked clueless in half-court sets. And their big guys got pushed around.

I have seen this fucking movie before, and man does it feel good.
