Worth the Wait?

Is it worth the wait? I'm just not convinced. So as many of you know...I'm amazing at basketball. I didn't know I was...but last weekend I learned. Wow am I good. But.....now I'm getting frustrated.
Last weekend every time I checked in there were new standings and scores and ranks and I was pumped. But now several days have past since a basketball game. And I think I am losing interest.
I thought that college basketball finals would be a week of basketball orgy. One game after another wham, bam,...you know the drill. But as a friend recently informed me..college basketball players are delicate, (and in my opinion pathetic) so they need to recuperate from the intense play the weekend before.
The problem is I'm not sure I'll care by tomorrow. The momentum is lost, my attention is dwindling....and college basketball is off of my radar once again.

Oh well....maybe I'll try again next year.
After all...I am really good at it!!!

I am so good at basketball!!!

Ok, now that you have gotten over your convulsive laughter from the title. Yes I know I am athletically challenged, and if you were to say, give me a basketball. I probably would not really know what to do with it. But beyond that, I am really good at this basketball thing. I now I will tell you why.
Since I have joined facebook, I have been introduced to a whole new world. One of the new exciting things in my world was joining a basketball pool (Thank you Ben Walther). Now this was a bit scary at first because I really don't know anything about college basketball or basketball in general. But I decided to go about this the same way I go about everything, choosing based on color and cuteness factor.
So I sat down with my bracket, looked at each team on the web, judging was based on the team colors and the cuteness of the mascot. Who evers mascot was cuter and I liked the colors, they obviously would win the game. (I'm no sports psychologist, but I'm pretty sure that if the other teams costumes and mascot were cuter than mine, I would feel pretty insecure and thus not play to my full potential...and as you can see...lose).

Now you can mock my method if you want. But, in my pool of 22 friends, I'm ranked 2nd and in the CUW pool, I'm 12. Not too shabby for someone who has no clue....but excellent taste in mascots!

So in conclusion...
I am SO good at basketball!
