Ok, here we go! Every time I watch these guys, I feel I have to write about them. I feel it’s my duty. Hah ha ha, doody. The Ohio State University. The Ohio State University Buckeyes. The Ohio State University Buckeyes basketball. Nobody’s doing it better. Like my main man Larry Legend always says: “I want all of you to know I am winning this thing. Who’s playing for second?” You can UCLA me, you can Florida me, you can try to Shocker me, heck, you can even North Carolina me, nobody’s beating The Ohio State University Buckeyes for the NCAA Basketball Championship. And I mean nobody. I’d be amazed if they even lose another game. They’ve moved up the polls to number three but they remain number one in my heart.
The main reason? You know by now. How many different ways can I say it? Greg Oden. The Man Child. The Beast. The Gigantic-O. There is nobody in the NBA right now I wouldn’t trade to land this guy. Nobody. He is going to win NBA Championship after NBA championship. There is nobody in the college game who can come near him. Nobody. He completely alters the other team’s game. Not in my hizzy. Striking fear into the hearts of men. He is not alone.
He does not play in a vacuum. He plays alongside his old high school teammate. Mike Conley Jr. A tough kid who like the Gigantic-O, has grown accustomed to winning. This kid runs the show and can make shots with both hands. He’s got wheels. His father was an Olympian in track. Mike Jr. plays an unselfish game but can fill it up if he has to. This cat is one of the best floor generals to come around in a while. A Triple threat. Triple trouble. Get the papers, get the papers, get the papers. Then there’s Dunbar’s own Daequan Cook. This kid can shoot. His jump shot is pure and he’s got range. He’s athletic and can finish at and above the rim. These three kids along with Ivan Harris, Ron Lewis and Othello Hunter are going to be tough to beat. This team, coached by Thad Matta, Thad Matta, who has coached all of his teams to at least 20 victories, is going to be tough to beat. Impossible to beat. They will tear those meeces to pieces. Make mincemeat out of ‘em. Everybody else is playing for second. Bring on the Gators. Must see TV this Saturday.
Peace out homies. Six two and Even! josh q. public
