Suck on it Memphis and Kentucky

Looks like the #1 high school basketball prospect Xavier Henry, who had signed with Memphis, will now almost certainly sign with KU next year as a result of Calipari taking the Kentucky job. Damn, we are going to be awesome next year.

come on memphis

cause if you don't win, my bracket is a: really fucked (because I have the Tigers in the final), and b: mizzou, heated rival of my KU Jayhawks will still be alive.

i survived a good scare from Pitt (I have them winning) for the third time.

Congrats Bill Self, Yahoo Basketball Coach of the Year

Rock, Chalk Jayhawk.

So people out there might question Bill Self being named the Yahoo! Coach of the Year - because how hard is it to be a good coach when you're the defending national champs? Well, here's Selfs' winning forumla: lose all 5 starters, 80% of your scoring, return with a ridiculously young and inexperienced team, be ranked throughout most of the season, and with a win vs. Texas tomorrow will wrap up the regular season Big 12 Title.

Craig Robinson of Oregon State, and not to mention Michelle Obama's brother (I'm a Beaver Believer) was also a finalist, but OSU might not quite have made enough of a turnaround this year, but lookout next year, as the Beavs will be right there.

Mike Anderson of Mizzou was also a finalist, but being a Jayhawk I have two words: Muck Fizzou. Nuff said.

Someone who wasn't a finalist (although he's a finalist for the Iba award) was Calipari (sorry coach, forgot your first name) from Memphis. He's in the same boat as Self as far as losing most of his talent from last year and then coming back with a vengeance. I wouldn't be surprised if Memphis got a 1 seed this year. There was some talk of KU getting a 1 seed, but that's just plain sillyness, especially after we followed up that royal beat down of Mizzou with an embarrasing lost to atrocious Texas Tech. Nobody who loses to the Red Raiders deserves a 1 seed. I'd be good with a 2 or a 3 in an easy bracket.

And I'm out (and I apologize for the shitty writing - brain is still not warmed up)

Doug's Hot Dog Cart Is Here - Watch Yourselves

Welcome to the new sports blog that probably will have lots of stuff that doesn't have to do with sports. I'm Fish, aka Faz-noosh, and I'm joined by my peeps from Linfield: DJ the Hammer, aka the Fantasy Czar, aka Stacy (I haven't actually asked if he wanted to be a part of this blog, just assuming here); Hubs, aka Race Car Dave; and E, aka the Baseball Czar, aka young Peter Gammons.

First KU (my future alma mater) shout out: Congratulations to the women's KU 200M freestyle relay A team for breaking the KU and Robinson Natatorium Records this morning against Iowa State in a time of 1:32.27.
