Blog FOUR is going to consist of final FOUR predictions and a music section. Yeah, blog four, final four, it was kind of a no-brainer... I like sports, so I'll tell you how the rest of this tournament will play out. I'll also write about a lot of songs that I am currently hooked on that many of you have probably forgotten about or never heard of.
Alright, the final four this year is pretty interesting. We have the two teams from a powerhouse conference which dominated all season. We have UNC which was the preseason pick to win the national championship who many people thought may go undefeated this year. Finally, we have this years "cinderella?" team. A number 2 seed (I know 'Nova is a #3) whose home state is hosting the final four. Michigan has the highest unemployment percentage among states in the country and I don't want to sound insensitive, but blah, blah, blah, it's sad and we all feel bad for the people of Michigan.
I was pretty pleased with my Super Bowl predictions (go ahead, look back at them) from blog 1 but as I stated, I gamble on sports way too much and I had watched way too much football. NCAA basketball was a little different, I always follow sports but not to the extent as the NFL this season. I guess what I'm saying is, the rest of this blog might be a waste of time... and hilarious.
The first game I want to discuss is the UNC/NOVA game because personally, I'm less interested in this game and I like to save the best for last, it's just how I rizzoll. Let me just come out and state, anticlimactically, that UNC will win. UNC probably has the most talented team remaining but they have lost a few easy games this year and I would certainly not call this an easy game. NOVA has played more quality opponents than UNC this year so they have that on their side. What scares me about NOVA is that it literally means "no go" in Spanish, obviously, this means they will lose fo shiz. The NOVA automobile did not sell well in the Hispanic market. Be sure to keep eyes peeled for more "Spanish Talk," as I intend to lace this blog with my swarthy Latin charm. I dislike UNC pretty much, so it's hard for me to pick them but they have a pretty amazing, experienced backcourt in Wayne Ellington and Ty Lawson. Funny I should pick UNC to win because of those two players, when they also have the reigning college basketball player of the year, Tyler "high shorts" Hansbrough. Ty Lawson had a toe injury when the tourney began and it was as if they had no chance if he didn't return. Basically, Hansbro puts up good numbers, but he is pretty overrated. I do have to respect someone who is that successful with very limited athletic ability. Did I mention he wears his shorts too high? Maybe he is preparing himself for life as a grandma. Sure, he can dunk but watch Tyler Hansbrough play 12 minutes of basketball and ask yourself, "What would he look like if he tried to seawalk?" because honestly, I think it would be funny. Of course, I can't seawalk either. People in glass casa's shouldn't throw stones.
The next game is MSU versus UCONN. I think this game showcases the best coach in the final four in Tom H to the Izzo, V to the Izzay, for shizzle my nizzle used to dribble down in V A. The most important player in the final four is Goran Suton. He is the center for MSU who must play well for MSU to have a chance. If he plays like he did in the elite 8, MSU will win. Goran hit shots from all around the court and carved up the Louisville zone because he is also an excellent passer. MSU dominated Louisville for about the entire second half which was shocking to me because the Buckeyes beat MSU pretty convincingly the last time the two teams met. We all know how terrible the Buckeyes looked a veces this year. Ultimately, I think Goran will not play well enough and the Spartans will finish one Grant Hill hail mary and one Christian Laettner turnaround J short of winning.
Fun Fact:
I have always known how to spell Krzyzewski because of a brilliant pneumonic device I came up with. I'm sure everyone else will remember how to spell it using this nice little phrase.

UNC will defeat the Huskies in the national championship and Tyler "velvet waistband" Hansbrough will end his college career with a national championship and walk peacefully into the sunset with his hands in his pockets, located slightly below his ribcage. Ty Lawson will be the tourney MVP, unless Tyler "make low-rise jeans illegal" Hansbrough wins because he is white and mildly talented. Be honest, you all checked where your pants were while you were reading this. I know I would have... if I owned pants.
Part 1 of blog 4 ran a little longer than I anticipated, I would still like to post my music blog because I think it will be interesting but I won't tonight... maybe tomorrow.
adios
