Good afternoon SwaggerToothers,
It’s your boy S Dot in the house and today I’m blogging to you live from….work. Ok, so Boca Raton, FL is a little less exciting than the Georgia Dome in Atlanta, GA today–where I’d ideally like to be. If only my knucklehead associate from ps3hotness.com and bumforums.com would have thought about going to this years ACC Tournament (to see the Noles win it all) with a little bit more advance notice than last night–then I might have been blogging to you live from the game. Instead, I am officially conceding all productivity for the rest of the day and streaming this bad boy on beautiful ESPN360.com and you should be too if you’re fortunate enough to have access to that service, depending on your ISP (hopefully not Comcast). Just in case anyone was wondering though… Billy Mays is right, live sports at work really is much better than work at work! “Now my job is way less soul crushing!”
Anyway, so “back to the lecture at hand / Perfection is perfected, so I’ma let ‘em understand,” to quote the homey Snoop Doggy Dogg and Dr. Dre (And that’s realer than Real-Deal Holyfield). As El Meester had previously mentioned this week, we’re grinding out in a Yahoo! Fantasy Baseball league again this year and I can already hear the wah-wah-wah’s from you sissy little girls that “it”s too much work” or “the season is too long,” but that’s a bunch of bitchmade excuses for a real sportsfan if ya ask me… yea, I’m calling you out like that! Well, I have just the thing for you then junior (and it’s not a warm bottle from your mommy): I present you with the official SwaggerTooth.com Yahoo! College Basketball Tournament Pick’em League!

After you begin to settle down from all this excitement for one afternoon, probably running around your home or office in a frenzy punching your friends and co-workers in the face—here is the information you will need to join us in filling out a bracket next week for the beginning of March Madness. Selection Sunday is, you guessed it, this Sunday for any of you “special Ed’s” out there. Ladies and gentlemen, in case any of you have been living under a rock for the past month or have maybe been hit in the head with a rock and forgot due to memory loss and/or brain damage—the play-in game is on Tuesday March 17th at 7:30 and then the real-deal-holyfield action begins on Thursday March 19th from Philadelphia, Greensboro, Kansas City, and Portland. Hopefully dem Seminoles will be playing the first round in Miami on Saturday March 20th so the fans can travel during this challenging economy. The Hurricanes of course have no chance at being invited to this dance because they thought it would be prudent to go down double digits early in the game against Virigina Tech yesterday and ultimately lost 65-47. The immediate future for the Canes doesn’t look too bright either if you consider their upcoming football schedule for 2009, there are some that believe they will start the season 0-4…write that down?Well, the 2nd half is underway here in the FSU@GaTech (essentially that’s what that is in the Georgia Dome) and FSU currently leads 33-27 with a full 19 miuntes left to play. I personally like the Seminoles chances to win this game and advance to the semi-finals but I am concerned about playing UNC again after that heart breaking loss FSU suffered at home on Ty Lawson’s (lucky) game winning shot in Tallahassee. So, meet me at the trap because it’s going down.

One Response to “College Basketball Tournament Pick’em”
Allow myself to be the first to comment on my own post (I’m cool like that), the end of that FSU/Georgia Tech game was way closer than I had anticipated. Granted they have improved over the season and they are in their backyard so to speak, they are also a whopping 2-9 in ACC regular season play! We should have NOT made this game so close at the end but I am glad that Derwin Kitchen “totally redeemed” himself after his trip up turnover with under a minute left to give the Yellow Jackets an opportunity to take the lead, which they did. I liked his drive to the basket and I’m glad that he made his foul shot…everything he was supposed to do! Go Noles! UNC is going to get some payback tomorrow without their precious Ty Lawson nursing his big toe.
