Twas the week before Madness

Hello Cintuckians. Enjoying March so far? Thought so. That is unless you’re a Dayton fan, but we’ll get to that in a little bit. Due to me being in the middle of nowhere camping for the past 2 days, and Greg being in Florida with his future mother-in-law (insert own joke here) we were unable to post our thoughts on the conference tournaments over the weekend. Better late than never, however, so for one last look at the 2010 regular season and conference tourneys enjoy the following….

The Week Before Madness

Twas the week before Madness, when all through the house,
Fans gazed in amazement, at Erin Andrews’ tight blouse;
The 65 have been decided, by the committee with care,
And now we have learned, 3 of our teams will be there;

The Cards, Cats, and Xavier lay snug in their beds,
While visions of Final Fours dance in their heads;
And the Flyers and Bearcats will have to watch from home,
As their collective fan bases’ let out a large groan;

When over on ESPN there arose such a clatter,
Turned out to be Dicky V with more mindless chatter;
He could not believe it is time for the tourney,
So lets take a look at the Cintucky journey;

Always successful Xavier showed more of the same,
As Jordan Crawford jacked up 30 a game;
Love roamed the paint with furry and aggression,
The A-10 sure felt the Musketeers impression;

Pitino started the year battling a woman’s extortion,
After knocking her up and paying for her abortion;
As one would expect, the Cards had an up and down year,
But they sent off Freedom Hall with one last loud cheer;

Sosa and Samuels will try to lead the way,
Past the Bears of Cal, and then hated Coach K;
The South region is soft, and UL could make a run,
Or Sosa could be Sosa causing a one and done;

Lexington has been rocking since last September,
And Cal and his boys have delivered a season to remember;
The SEC Champ has returned to its crown,
After this season not even Cousins can frown;

Thirty Two and Two, and a number one seed,
Cal delivered on his promise of glory indeed;
We watched Cousins dunk, Bledsoe shoot, and John Wall create,
And sent off Patrick Patterson, a UK all-time great;

Only three days left until X and the Cards take their shot,
These coaches and players will give it all that they got;
But come Thursday at 7 all eyes in the state,
Will be on the Kentucky Wildcats and their start for number 8!!!


Stay tuned all week as the Cintucky Zone gets ready for the tournament, and be sure to come by Thursday and Friday for complete first round coverage throughout the day by yours truely.
