It's all over for me. The college basketball season is gone. I know the final four is this weekend but with Duke making it I am inclined to not watch any of it. Duke is the only 1 seed to make it to the final four. I hate them. So with that it's time to move on. What are we moving on to? Well it's something that many of my readers hate...baseball. Don't worry I am not going to hit everyone over the head with baseball posts every day. But it wouldn't be right if I didn't throw a shout out to my Royals. But before we go into baseball season there is still some basketball to be talked about. Here are a few thoughts moving foward.
1. I am tired of March Madness AKA March Sadness. Everybody talks about the beauty of the NCAA tournament. I do agree that it is beautiful. It's beautiful to casual fans. It's not beautiful to me. My team got upset. I am upset. It's hard to say that Kansas was the best basketball team in the nation when they got beat by a team from the valley. I've had this feeling too often. But like I always say I can't lie to myself. I love college basketball. Bill Self has turned me into a spoiled basketball fan. His success and the greatness of his teams leads me only to expect greatness. When the Jayhawks came up short I was hugely disapointed. But I don't think I would want it any other way.
2. Cole Aldrich is going to go pro next year. His freshmen year I thought that he was an overrated Mcdonalds All American. He leaves as one of the best defenders in Kansas History. He was instrumental to our National Championship in 2008 when he let Tyler Hansbourough know what was really good. Am I sad to see him leave. Yes and No. Yes cause he is a beast, and no because I think it's time for me to move on emotionally.
3. Sherron Collins is one of my favortie Jayhawks of all time. He will be missed. I don't know if he will have a successful NBA career. I think his ceiling is to be a Jacque Vaughn like journey man. If he stays in the NBA more then 3 years I will be very impressed.
4. Make sure to watch Josh Selby tonight in the Powerade Jam fest. 6:30 on ESPN 2. If he doesn't commit to KU I will cry and then cancel my subscription to Jayhawkslant.
5. Next weekend I think I'll clean my garage or something.
6. I have introduced a new label at the bottom. If you read this without checking the label thats yo bad.

Naysayer! Naysayer! There is more college basketball. Quit drowning in the pool of self-pity and maintain your self-respect. Be a true fan and not just a so-called fan we like to call "homers".
Yay babe that Josh boy won the competition!
Don't cancel your jayhawkslant... I love powermizzou too much
That label is un-true and hurtful! I was very much on the edge of my seat for the this post. It was a rough weekend when KU lost... but life goes on and if Butler make it I'm going to scream. I hate them... as much as Duke and North Carolina.
