How bad did it Hurt. After the Oscars 2010

Let’s begin…

So, last night was the Academy awards, and The Hurt Locker was the big winner. I won in the categories that most people see as the bench make for movie of the year (Best Picture and Best Director). It also beat out Avatar, which is the highest grossing movie ever. Some see the decision as controversial and maybe even sense some foul play. Some feel it was a sentimental pick, because of the director because she is the first female to win such an award (by the way, what is a Hurt Locker?? Someone please tell me). That’s the issue I want to address.

I over heard a woman say,
“Man it’s so great that a woman won.”

Then I went online, and that was the leading story.

It sounds good, but should that be the story? I don’t know, and I don’t even think I care. However, that is the story. You always hear about people wanting the nation to change, and when will these types of celebrations stop. I don’t know that it will ever go away. There will always be a first to do something in any culture, city, or country, so it’s not going away.
The only thing that could possibly go away is the admiration for these types of stories (don’t think that will happen as long as newspapers are selling columns. On second thought, it will definitely happen because newspapers are on life support with a DNR).

Personally I’m indifferent to the story, as long as everything is judge by the same standards. I could care less about press coverage. So, if The Hurt Locker was the best, it should have won regardless of director. Now the fact that the director was a woman is a story. One can argue that it’s inspirational, but it’s still a story. No more and no less.

By the way, The Hurt Locker was better than Avatar. Maybe the bitter Ex should have directed both of them?

NCAA College Basketball Top 15, as of 3.7.10

Let’s begin…
So it’s the weekend, and it’s time to release my list of the top college basketball teams.
So here is my list.

My Top Teams

1. Kansas
2. Kentucky
3. West Virginia
4. Syracuse
5. Ohio State
6. Kansas State
7. Vanderbilt
8. Villanova
9. Duke
10. Pittsburgh
11. Butler
12. Tennessee
13. Gonzaga
14. New Mexico
15. BYU

Top 15

1. Kansas
2. Kentucky
3. Ohio State
4. West Virginia
5. Syracuse
6. Vanderbilt
7. Purdue
8. Pittsburgh
9. Kansas State
10. Vanderbilt
11. Tennessee
12. New Mexico
13. BYU
14. Gonzaga
15. Butler

So the most notable thing about this week’s list is that Georgetown has fell out of both list. I think they are good and can beat anyone. The problem is they get beat by anyone, so I have to drop them out.

Despite Duke losing I still have them in the middle of the pack. Though they’re not elite this year. They bring their A game every night, and that’s something I can get behind.

I love the way the Tennessee Vols’ play

Thanks for reading, and feel free to comment.

NCAA Tournament Expansion? I think not

Let’s begin…

Oh there’s been so much on my mind as far as sports go, but I guess I’ll have to settle for this: NCAA Tournament Expansion. They want to expand the NCAA Tournament. Now there are 3 types of people that want to expand the tournament.

1. Coaches: So they can try to keep their jobs.
2. The NCAA: They want to make more money
3. The fans that have teams that aren’t that good.

The one thing that all of these people have in common, is that none of them want to help the tournament become better. I think if you change something that is already great. You should only change it to make it even better. The tournament is great like it is. There are 65 teams that get an opportunity to participate, and about 5 of them in any given year have a chance to win a title.

The only reason the tournament will be expanded (and it will be) is for the money. The NCAA is consumed with making as much money as they can while making sure they limit the people that are making the money, from making money (Players Won’t Get Paid).
• That’s why players don’t get paid
• That’s why they’ll expand
• This is why College Football will keep the BCS.
