Greetings Crackers,
I just want to take some time to apologize for my delay in blog post. I’m sure Alex Miller has been long awaiting this post. There are a few reasons I haven’t been able to write in awhile, but the most obvious reason as “Editor in Chief” of The 0.0 Experiment, I have spent most of my time peer editing Matthew Ruffing’s post. I’m sure you can still look at the post and say, “Wow, Ruff can’t spell or write worth shit.” That’s because I elect not to change all of his grammatical errors because it is un-Ruff like to have a properly written post.
So now that my reason for delay is out there, without further wait I would like to talk about something that is on all of our minds (besides getting my fingers wet on spring break) I’m obviously talking about March Madness. While it is known throughout Southern Indiana that I am among one of the better “bracket filler-outers” around, a lot of you not from that area might not be aware of this. For example, were you surprised when George Mason made the Final Four in 2006 as an 11 seed? I wasn’t. Or were you surprised in 2001 when the 15 seed Hampton knocked off Iowa State? I wasn’t, this to me was a no-brainer…obviously Jamal Tinsley is going to be too high to function in a big game like this. Maybe my greatest upset pick ever was when the Canisius Griffins knocked off the top-ranked North Carolina State Wolfpack in 1956. With all of this being said, some of you might be thinking, “With all of these upset picks Reggie, how have you not won the competition that ESPN has every year?” This is honestly a great question, my only flaw when it comes to tournaments brackets are the infamous 8-9 games. I have failed to pick an 8-9 game successfully since 1996 when Eastern Michigan knocked off the Duke Blue Devils.
If you are an active reader of the blog you may know that Ruff and Wil made a visit to IU last weekend. With all of these stories from the past week flying around like the Wright Brothers, you may be wondering why I was not involved in any of these shenanigans, the answer to that is simple. I honestly didn’t want anything to do with being around Ruff for an entire weekend. I can predict Ruff’s actions just about as easily as I can predict the NCAA tournament. It is a fact that Ruff had to go outside to “cool off” after having 4 or 5 beers and a pouch or so of Grizzly Wintergreen. The only thing that I have yet to grasp out of this whole situation is, “Why in hell are all you pansies surprised?” When I was told by Alec that they would be visiting I quickly made plans to leave town and visit a friend of mine in Louisville. Quite simply, I just didn’t want to babysit Ruff all weekend. I didn’t want to have to hold his “Knuckles” jacket while he puked up his wine coolers, and I didn’t want to have to try to calm him down after he struck out at the frat. With most of this post being directed to my hatred towards Matthew Ruffing, I expect to have to deal with something like this when I visit him a few days. Surprised? Don’t be.
This next week should provide plenty of stories to share on the blog. I apologize again for this delay and promise it will not happen again.
God Bless America more than any other Country,
