Rankings & Irrelevant Comments - week 7

Below is week 7 of my hopefully humors rankings. Think of it as an early Christmas present. Whether it should be thought of like a new flat screen tv or a 3 pack of underwear, well, I guess that’s up to you.

Top 10

1.Kansas – Last week I watched two sets of twins play against each other during the LaSalle vs. Kansas game. Really? Yup. As unbelievable as it may seem, I assure you that I actually watched the LaSalle vs. Kansas game.

2. Texas – The Longhorns play UNC on Saturday in the new Dallas Cowboys Stadium. Texas fans are at bit worried about Dexter Pittman though. Not because of his penchant for fouling, but because of his potential to block the jumbo-tron.

3.Kentucky – UK plays Austin Peay this week. So all together now – “Go Peay!” Well, unless you’re a Wildcats fan. Or incontinent.

4.Purdue & West Virginia (tie) – Purdue is playing on New Years’ day in the toilet bowl. No, I’m not referring to one of those many irrelevant college football bowl games. I’m referring to the state of West Virginia.

6.Syracuse – Sophomore guard Scoop Jardine has a legitimate shot at making it to the NBA. Apparently his folks were hoping he’d choose a different career – as the ice cream truck man.

7.Duke – Brian Zoubek could be Duke’s Superman. Granted, he’s not quite a full “Man of Steel” yet. But his total lack of ball handling skills leads me to believe that he already has the hands.

8.Tenessee – The Volunteers’ basketball players are a little upset that the university sent those buxom “hostesses” to help recruit football players. I guess the school figured its hoop team would get enough cleavage exposure from the chest of Bruce Pearl.

9.Villanova – Villanova, St. Joe’s, Penn, LaSalle, and Temple are all part of the Philadelphia Big 5. So what does that say about Philly based Drexel? That they’re brilliant. As opposed to “Philadelphia’s Big 5” there’s at least a chance that a recruit might not realize where Drexel is located.

10. North Carolina – UNC is hoping to make it to Indianapolis for the Final 4. About 70,000 fans will also fill the Lucas Oil Stadium. Most will likely shell out hundreds of dollars without being able to see much of anything, but just to be able to say, “I was there.” There's a much cheaper way to be able to say, “I was there." It just requires a little something I learned in law school – a lie.

Take it easy,
