Caught Sleepin'

"I knew we should've put those video game up last night bruh!"

The English philosopher, Francis Bacon once said, “Read not to contradict and confute, nor to believe and take for granted…but to weigh and consider.” Dr. Joyce Brothers broke it down like this, “Being taken for granted can be a compliment. It means that you’ve become a comfortable, trusted element in another person’s life.”

Well Georgetown, Wisconsin, Kansas State, UCLA and ole dull Notre Dame didn’t weigh or consider before they trusted boyz before they got robbed in the girls bathroom with a butter knife day one of their NCAA Tourney run!

Let’s start with ole dull No. 2 seed Georgetown showing up to play the 15th seed Florida Gulf Coast and not taking them seriously. Outside of the state of Florida, nobody had even heard of Florida Gulf Coast playa. The Hoyas thought that they could just role their sneakers out on the floor and come out of there with a “W” instead they got picked off coming out of Trix Shoe Shine on 25th Ave. 78-68. They saw the name Gulf Coast and didn’t even look at the scouting report. Boyz played video games the entire night before and the coaches kicked it with their wives figuring that it was all good in the hood. By the time they looked up these no name cats had taken the flat screen, all of the silverware, the jewelry and the family whip with Big Momma's bible in it. You know boyz are in trouble when they get back to DC without that bible!

Wisconsin, with the 5th seed, did the same thing and messed everybody’s bracket up getting beat 57-46. When I run into Bo Ryan he owes me money for that one son! Ole Miss bruh? This ain’t football season and they’re terrible in football too. What’s the deal? I had them at least getting to the next round and knocking off overrated Gonzaga. Now I guess Ohio State has to get rid of them. It’s all the same. I’ve got the Buckeyes going to Atlanta anyway.

The 4th seed, Kansas State, let LaSalle who was the 13th seed lure them into a freaking dark alley and just took advantage of them 63-61. You know how a boy sees the chick at the club that’s quiet and shy but it’s a turn on. The next thing he knows he’s in the parking lot hollering at her and she talks him into going over to her sister’s house. He’s gassed up because it just seemed way too easy. Then just before he pulls up some cat cuts him off in the middle of the street and 3 duns jump out holding and takes his ride, all of his clothes and makes him walk back to the club butt naked so that his boyz will ride him until the day that he dies for that one. That was Kansas State last night bruh!

UCLA, the 6th seed, should be arrested for impersonating a basketball team for going out there and letting Minnesota, of all people, beat the brakes off of them. Shameful homeboy! All of the history and tradition couldn’t keep Tubby and his boyz from jawing the Bruins. How do you let a boy named Tubby take your wallet and pimp slap you in front of your girl bruh? I know that ole Tubby’s been around the block and even won a national title at Kentucky. However, his name IS Tubby and he’s coaching at Minnesota playboy. Tubby doesn’t sound too intimidating followed by Golden Gophers! Give me a break. Ole Ben Howland better come out of my bread when I see him too.

What else do you want me to say about Notre Dame bruh? I guess they didn’t want to look anything like their ridiculous football team and get anywhere near the national championship so they jumped off of the ship before it pulled out of the port. They figured if they jump off now nobody would know the difference. I guess that makes sense, especially the way they got embarrassed by Alabama in the BCS National Championship Game. Boyz are allergic to anything that says championship at Notre Dame for at least the next 10 years.

To sum things up, all of these cats got caught sleein’! It’s win or go home bruh! This ain’t the NBA playoffs where the best team ALWAYS wins the championship because you’ve got to play the best of 7 for darn near a month and a half to win the joint. Naw playboy, you gotta win TODAY or you’ll get a bus pass with no transfer with a Cleveland bus driver wearing some thick white socks that says, "You goin' ta jail now!" all the way to the crib!

Holla At Ya Boy!
