Did you peep the fact that both teams in the ‘chip rocked adidas?
Shout to the JayHawks and DANNY MANNING.
Kansas muscled them fools down.
Memphis also choked at the line.
Congrats to De Hill Man Dem, the winner of the DP Dot Com Final 4 Pool. Get at me with a shoe size and a mailing address.
All Day I Dream About Second place
if i wasnt a responsible adult, my ass would’ve driven the 30min to KU from KC and get down on the celebration, maybe set something on fire.
^ Ahhh. Setting property afire. The classic university celebration. Second only to date rape.
Word, fuckin’ Memphis pulled a Nick Anderson.
Second on the fire thing.
Awesome photo by the way!!!
Sadly, I have to live with happy JoCo people for the next 20 years if I’m lucky.
Fuck D Manning. I rode with Hersey Hawkins. Still glad Kansas & coach Self won. That’s what’s up.
Goddamn it, Memphis! That’s why I picked for them bamas to lose in the first place. How the hell do you play a ball control, disciplined game at the end when everyone knows your team can’t make free throws to put anyone away? I picked them to lose against Michigan State but that was just sharks against tadpoles. You can’t win a chip if you don’t have basic fundamentals down. As soon as CD-R went to the line that second time after Chalmers hit that three I said:
Oh, they just lost this game!
Everybody was looking at me like I was crazy. I explained that they’d be shooting all down the stretch and they were gonna blow it. They did. I would’ve picked UCLA and UNC for the title game, anyways.
One.
Memphis just cost me my office pool…second place aint bad…but it’s still not first…
Manning with the Air Assaults!!!!
Hey Dallas, youre always talking about shoes, so I was wondering…the Washington Post had an article about the 40-50th (?) anniversary of Converse…do you ever wear anything by them?
L
Mario fucking Chalmers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Upperclassman Guards all day in the NCAA baby!!!!!!!! thanks DP for setting up some fun shit.
Man…I was cheering for Memphis, but I knew they were gonna tank. Those cats didn’t set one hard screen all night; they just waited on D-Rose to create. And the coaching was piss-poor. There was 10.8 secs left, the other team was down by three….they shoulda fouled, but instead let Chalmers nail the three. Glad I didn’t put any money on them.
what made it even funnier was that Memphis consistently tried to downplay all the media attention on their lack of accuracy from the line. They laughed that shit off like it wasn’t a big deal. Media-1, Memphis-0.
BET nobody was laughing on the Memphis bus on the way home last night. For the next week, anytime something great happens, I’m gonna yell “Chalmers!”
My stocks go up? “CHALMERS!”
@Dallas: Thanks for running the pool. Forgot to say that while I was wallowing as first loser. Congrats to the dude who beat me.
Kansas didn’t win as much as Memphis LOST.
The Memphis choke was some GOAT cataclysmic shit like the C Webb timeout.
Good thing you are on the DP Dot Com snail mail list. At least you are always a winner with us.
