How Texas wins a National Championship!

So, a couple of days a go I posted the most optimistic post on here as I could about how Texas could make a run at the Final 4. I took the post down not because of some criticism, but because I did some thinking and actually thought about it and was completely out of mind for even showing optism for this team. So to Kellan, no I was not high, but I was having a severe lack of judgement and to you my friend, I apologize. But I did do some more thinking last night and came up with a round by round way that Texas wins its first ever men's basketball national championship.

1. Peter Bean leads a group of all the law school grads and students on BON. Making it the most elite law team since the OJ trial and finds a loop hole in the NCAA rule book that allows 3 weeks of eligibility for Kevin Durant, TJ Ford, DJ Augustine, and because we love him so much and looks so good in Burnt Orange Vince Young to come back and play during the NCAA tournament teaming up with Damion James to make the greatest basketball lineup since those little aliens in "Space Jam." Thankfully Michael Jordan is retired and to old to come out and single handily beat them.

2. In the first round you pit the two most struggling teams in the NCAA tournament making it the worst 8/9 matchup in NCAA history. No one cares and viewership is going to be an all time low. In steps Dana White and offers a solution and comes up with UFC: NCAA Tournament Style. Bring down the Octagon to New Orleans and place Rick Barnes against Dina Gaudio(WF Head Coach). I like Rick in this matchup and taps out Gaudio with a rear naked choke. Rick may not be able to make adjustments on the basketball court, but the man is lethal in the Octagon.

3. So now we are into the Second Round against the super stud freshmen of Kentucky. John Wall and Demarcus Cousins decide that they want to get a college education after all instead of doing their one and done and actually attend a class. Big mistake they both fail miserably and get put on "Double Secret Probation" and cannot play. Don't worry Kentucky fans John Calipari tries to fix it and pay off the professor, but wait no it is not a professor, but Jason Bourne posing as a professor and working for the NCAA committee. Cal is busted and to the delight of UMass and Memphis fans Cal is forever kicked out of basketball and UK receives the death penalty. The world's hotest 40+ plus coed Ashley Judd leaves Kentucky and joins the good old Burnt Orange Nation side. Make sure to keep her and Matthew Mcconaughey apart, I do not want to see a romantic comedy breakout during the NCAA tournament.

4. Off to the Sweet 16 baby, against those dairy farmers from Wisconsin. This is one is an easy one. Betsy the team cow suddenly dies and the team is to heart broken to even make the trip.

5. We are now in the Elite 8 against everybody's favorite rednecks, West Virginia. Fortunately WVU fans and students cannot take it anymore and snap, leading a massive march from Morgantown to Ann Arbor looking for Rich Rodriguez and burn him in efigy( I think that is how you spell). Bob Huggins leads the march and we are on our way to the Final 4.

6. Next up we get those fiery baptist from Waco that have owned us of late. In honor of the teams trip to the Final 4 and Billy Graham the Baylor school board comes up with it's own version of a Baptist Lint in March( if I offend anyone I am sorry, but I am Baptist to) and they make the Basketball team give up basketball.

7. Now we face off against the best basketball team in the land, Kansas for the national title. I really do not have anything good for this one, I mean how do you make fun of Kansas? Come on it is Kansas for the love of god, anyone that has ever been in the state knows how bad it is. So I will just say that KD, TJ, DJ, DJ, and VY easily lead the Longhorns to its first ever mens basketball national championship.

To top it off CBS lets Lance Armstrong and Matthew Mcconaughey lead Longhorn Nation in singing "One Shining Moment." So there you have it Longhorn faithful that is all that has to happen and we are cutting down the nets.

I like it

Good stuff HR

Stumpy: It's called the '80s. Ford was president, Nixon was in the White House, and FDR was running this country into the ground.

Very nice...

I want to apologize for making that comment the other day. I think it was hard to tell that I was joking around and I felt bad about it. Last thing I want to do is suppress someone’s optimism. So, for what it’s worth…

True...

But the optism train on this team pulled out of the station a long time ago. I was trying to find a positive out of something going into the tournament and after I really thought about it, well lets just say it is what it is. I will enjoy the tournament no matter what because I always do.

The next up and coming Longhorns QB!

If we're allowed to get Durant back

That may be enough to win it all without anything else happening. Every time I see him play now, it’s a mixture of gratitude that he came to Texas and sympathy for Seattle Sonics fans.

Definitely could win it all with just Durant

but watching TJ Ford play was just amazing. Durant was always going to be the bigger super star, but TJ was a really special player.

The next up and coming Longhorns QB!

What were the Portland Trailblazers thinking?!

First Sam Bowie, now Greg Oden. IMO, any Hornfan who watched Durant that year was shocked when the Blazers didn’t pick him. He was so much more of a can’t-miss pick.

I don’t know that TJ had that perfect basketball sense or smoothness that I see coming from some who have a better feel for the game. But, with TJ, I was always assured that we had the best guard, athlete, defender, & best chance of winning any game, no matter the circumstances. Hollis Price on the suckin’ sooners was phenomenal that year and played great against UT but you always knew that POY TJ would lead his team to the W. He improved greatly while here and started hitting jump shots in his sophomore year. Everything else about his game was so solid. Would have loved to have seen him in Austin for 2 more years.

Wonderful!

Until now, all my hopes were riding on East Tennessee State.

Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes. If they get mad, you're a mile away AND you have their shoes.

i think rick would win by omaplata rather than rear naked choke

he seems like the type who would be a beast if the fight goes to the ground.

nice write up
