Hi all,
Thank God that its spring break because I am so tired of
school right now. So many assignments, so much to do, people to see, etc. I’m
just happy that I get some time off just to chill, hang out, and literally not
do anything. Haven’t been able to do that in ages.
Just want to talk about college basketball briefly right
now. First of all, how is Villanova ranked ahead of us (Arizona) now? They have
the same record as us but have almost no significant wins that make them a top
3 school. Just goes to show everyone that east coast bias that the entire
country has towards pretty much every sport.
Look at every college sport that is shown on ESPN. Which
teams always get the most coverage compared to the others? Florida, Syracuse,
UConn, UNC, freaking Duke, freaking Notre Dame, Michigan, Ohio State, Kentucky,
do I really need to continue? And which schools do they show from the west
coast? Pretty much just USC, UCLA, Oregon and occasionally Arizona. Doesn’t
even matter which sport it is, its like pretty much 90% east coast schools.
When was the last time a Texas school was on ESPN (besides anything about
Johnny Manziel)? Not since 2005 when UT won the national championship. That was 9 years ago. What about
Washington? They’re pretty much solid at every sport. Us? Same thing (look out
for men’s tennis vs. Washington on PAC-12 networks coming up in a few weeks.
Had to let the world know. Go cats.), solid at everything, exceptional at others. But
they’ll play Kentucky football (who we all know is absolutely HORRIBLE at
football, might as well cut the program if you’re losing to Western Kentucky
who’s in the Sun Belt and you’re an SEC team) over Washington football, who is consistently
a ranked and well-respected program.
Anyway that’s my sports rant of the week. Stay tuned for
more as March Madness gets closer!
