Handful of Hopefully Humorous Rankings - Week9

The good news is I actually got a few emails from folks saying they loved last week's post. The bad news is I didn't put up a post last week. Below is a brand new set of 4. Hope you enjoy.

1. Ohio State –The Buckeyes have a super-frosh named Jared Sullinger. That sounds a lot like J.D Salinger. Hmm. Now I know J.D is dead (supposedly) but I wonder if they are actually the same person. Crazy? Well, I’m willing to bet that no one ever saw Sullinger and Salinger in the same room together.

9.BYU – I got swooped up in the Jimmer Fredette Mania. I even started calling myself Davider. It didn’t last long though. No, not because the Cougars lost to New Mexico. But because my friends started calling me “Der”.

26. Cincinnati –The shorts of two players for the Bearcats fell down during the game against Notre Dame. That’s a problem. Notre Dame actually has a bigger problem - half their cheerleading squad has requested to transfer to Cincinnati.

38. Tennessee – Critics claim that Brian Williams isn’t concentrating while on the court. His coaches claim that may be due to his academic pressures. Really? I’d say it’s due to the rigors of that gig he has with the NBC Nightly News.

Take it easy,

Handful of Hopefully Humorous Rankings - Week7

Thanks for checking out this week's handful of rankings. I guarantee they are the only set anywhere that has #18 fourth. Hope you find them humorous.


1.Duke – Yes, Duke is still #1. Similarly stunning news: the Sun came up this morning.

4.Syracuse – When I was little I used to root for the Orange. So I now like to root for one player on the team to remind me of my youth. This year it’s Russ DeRemer. He’s yet to make a shot. Definitely reminds me of my youth.

9.UConn – With the game tied and 10 seconds to go against Texas, Roscoe Smith heaved a full court shot. The announcers could not figure out why he would do something so stupid. I’d say one explanation would be that Roscoe isn’t all that bright.

18.Central Florida – Michael Jordan’s son Marcus plays for UCF. He refused to wear team ordered Adidas sneakers because he claimed his Air Jordan’s have “special meaning.” Yeah, much like my credit card has special meaning for my wife.

Take it easy,

Handful of Hopefully Humorous Rankings - Week6

Happy new year. Hope you enjoy the first partial rankings of 2011.

4.UConn – Try to name the two best players on UConn. You’ve got Kemba Walker and, uhh. I’d go with Kevin Ollie. Though I’m not sure you can count an assistant coach.

9.Georgetown – Austin Freeman is one of the best players in the country. He’s also a diabetic. He’s now an inspiration for kids. If Austin can make it, so can you. Well, as long as you drink lots of Coke.

22.Memphis – I think Memphis needs to change its logo. I like the vicious tiger. But it might appear a bit more intimidating if it wasn’t being impaled by the letter “M”.

128. Virginia – Mustapha Farrakhan has made some big changes in hopes of having a great senior year. The most important being his decision that come game time he’ll no longer wear a bow tie.

Take it easy,
Dave
