Rock Chalk.


Tonight is the big NCAA game. Memphis vs Kansas University. And whilst my roommate is probably up right now at 8am waiting out side of a bar warming up his shoulder blades for the best possible wheat wave of the 21st century, with the rest on Kansas who has taken the day off. I am sitting here in cubicle licking...I mean kicking myself for not growing a pair of balls this year and filling out a bracket. I would've definitely had KU going to the end.....I swear. I swear it. Even though the only time I saw Memphis play was on Saturday, when they dominated UCLA.

But I will do my support thing here from Chicago. Being from BU, I never really had a team to support. I mean, basketball was my fancy until the players i knew graduated...Hockey is our big thing, but black people and hockey go together about as well as peanut butter and steamed mushrooms. Being in the west has turned me into an interested NCAA follower. I mean, I wont be rocking my honorary KU gear , but at 9pm I will have my whiskey and coke in hand and sporadically pumping my fist for players I barely know.

"Yes.......Sasha...your awesome!"

Rock Chalk Jay Hawk (I hope I got that right, or the 28 friends I have here in Chicago will disown me).
PS Unfortunalty Dickie V and friends will not be making it on the commercial tip tonight. Even though Im not sure how I willl ever make it through the scheduled programing without him. Its Awesome Baby.
