College What? Jigga Who?

A couple of years ago I was all about the NBA. I knew nothing about college basketball and more importantly I didn't want to. Nothing exciting was going on there. Then I noticed that my beloved NBA took an ugly downturn. There was too much auxillary stuff happening with the players that wouldn't let me focus on the game. I was distracted by all the new ink, bad press, bling and the side careers as rappers (albeit, really bad rappers). I completely lost interest and switched to college ball, where I rediscovered my love of the sport. These kids were playing with so much heart and it amplified my annoyance at the NBA.

I am not sure what happened to make the tide turn again, but I have absolutely no idea what is happening with college ball right now. None. I don't know who the players are, I don't know team standings. Honestly folks, I got nothing. And I'm back in love with the NBA. I am following the sport like a maniac, which is why I have decided that once I win the lottery I will buy season tickets (in addition to, of course, to my beautiful Philadelphia apartment).

Not just regular season tickets. No folks, FLOOR SEATS. Perhaps next to Jay-Z and Beyonce...where I will:

A.) "Throw the diamond up one time" (While Keith sits next to me and sings the chorus to "99 Problems").
B.) Check out Beyonce's weave up close and personal because, honestly, her hair always looks great.

On second thought, maybe I should just stay home and watch the game.

What I am reading: 97 emails (received in the last 12 hours) from folks discussing the NJ Department of Education hearings.
What I am listening to: Bitches Brew - Miles Davis
