CBS... Simply the Best

I've spent the past day and a half watching non stop basketball. I've seen games on CBS, ESPN, ESPN2, and FSN. I've got to say CBS basketball announcers are the best. I associate the excitement and joy of March Madness with the voices of Clark Kellogg, Verne Lundquist, Ian Eagle, Jim Spanarkel, Gus Johnson, Len Elmore and of course Greg Gumble. I associate Dick Vitale with an obnoxious old guy that thinks he's Gods gift to college basketball, and the FSN announcers just seem so small town in comparison. CBS has it right. They've got it all, from the best theme song that gives me goosebumps and tears every time I hear it, to the on air talent, to the in studio hosts, it's just all spectacular! Props to CBS! Last night Dickie V quoted Tina Turner's song "Simply the Best". It was in reference to Duke.... I rolled my eyes. However, I feel it is appropriate for CBS! Dickie V and all the local guys can go away for months as from here on out all I need for ultimate bliss is the CBS crew:)

March Madness! My favorite time of the year.

March is by far my favorite month of the year! It's a month filled with non stop important college basketball games! Small schools that previously were unknown get put on the map, Cinderella stories abound everywhere, and you can go from a random bench player to a superstar in the matter of seconds. I get goosebumps just thinking about it and tears of joy well up in my eyes at the sound of the CBS college hoops theme song.

Today was bubble saturday and it had some great moments! The highlight of the day was Louisville's upset of top ranked Syracuse. It was the last game the Cardinals were playing at Freedom Hall so they were hoping to go out with a bang, and did they ever! Kyle Kuric, a sophomore from Evansville had the game of his life! Typically he averages 3 points a game... but today he had 22! They all came in the second half, and all came with emphasis. I'm sure there are going to now be Kuric fans popping up everywhere, but I would like to state that I jumped on the bandwagon quite early! My friend was an intern for a baseball team in Evansville so now I rep for the city and was rooting for the guy all the way:) But yes, March is the month for bandwagon fans, so get ready to jump onboard!

How corny can you get?!

Wow... ABC is more than slightly ridiculous! They just had Jeffrey Osborne perform the 'theme song' from this season of The Bachelor... youtube "On the Wings of Love"... it's corny. Then youtube Luther Vandross "One Shining Moment". To me they have definite similarity. Granted "One Shining Moment" is in a whoooole nother league as well that song is attached the greatest thing in the world, the NCAA tournament! As opposed to "On the Wings of Love" which is attached to a crappy reality show... seriously though ABC... seriously?

The Bachelor...how shallow can you be

So The Bachelor finale just aired... and I think the guy picked the wrong girl. Tenley was super sweet, they had the same values, his family adored her, and she was gorgeous. Vienna on the other side was rude, classless, disliked by everyone but Jake, and not even that pretty. Jake claimed something was missing with Tenley and that there was more passion with Vienna. Passion is obviously very important in a relationship, but when it comes to sharing a life with someone it seems like the characteristics Tenley had were much more fitting. Vienna is the type of person you have a fling with, not a lifelong relationship! I judged Jake as a shallow guy when he sent Corrie home right after she told him she was a virgin, and maintain that he picked Vienna for sex. Bets on how long their relationship will last as it's merely physical?

And another thing, this After the Final Rose show is hilarious. The audience is allllll women! It's almost comical! Jake just said 'you'll have a lifelong friend'. Hmmmm I wonder what the Vegas odds are on what'll last longer, the friendship with Tenley or the romantic relationship with Vienna. I give each one a max of 6 months.
