Fucking hell, the time after the super bowl but before march madness is the worst. Oh good! We now have tons of spare time on the weekend and we can do all of the shit we’ve been meaning to do! Now what was that again? The next thing you know, it’s 4:00am on a Saturday night and I’ve been standing in the same spot for seven hours, contemplating the horror of the FACT that there couldn’t possibly be a benevolent God that would create a system that makes living things need to fucking murder and consume other living things in order to survive. So is God evil or just impotent? Also, is Pitt hoops underrated or overrated? There was a moment a week or so ago when Pitt had more or less the same record as Virginia, including conference record, but Virginia was No.7 nationally and Pitt wasn’t ranked at all and estimated as a 9 seed. Honestly, I don’t follow college hoops much until it’s time for me to pick out a bracket, then I read a bunch of articles. All of the things that used to interest me about college hoops, either Notre Dame or Storied Programs, all seem to be foundering these days. I miss the Big East of John Thompson and Rollie Massimino and Louie Carnesecca’s sweater. I never thought I’d miss Mike Krzyzewski, but here we are. I’ve read that this year’s tournament field is incredibly flat, basically anybody can beat anybody on a good night. Does my longing for Storied Programs and a benevolent, omnipotent God make me a closet conservative? Am I, dear god, a fascist? Fuuuuuuuuck.
