So from the results of the poll, it looks like most of you are just as stoked about the Final Four as I am. Is there anything as amazing as March Madness? I declare there is not! Yes, college football could be close if it wasn't for the BCS, the NFL has the best athletes, and there is nothing like going to a great baseball game at Safeco field, but nothing matches the drama of March Madness.
Anyways back to the title of my post. Has anyone else noticed that there are some crazy good white ballers this year in college basketball? Two of the teams in the Final Four, Duke and Butler, are full of white guys who can play. Guys like Gordon Hayward, Jimmer Fredette, Kyle Singler, and John Scheyer have been incredible. Gordon Hayward, (pictured above), who looks young enough to be getting ready for his high school prom, has some serious skills. Kyle Singler and John Scheyer (pictured below) are stars on a Duke team that will probably win it all. Not that I really care if they win or not, even though it would be cool to see Butler win to represent the so called mid-majors, its just good to see some white guys tear it up once in a while.
On a 'did you know' fact....did you know that Butler plays its home games in the same gym where they filmed the movie 'Hoosiers'? And Yes, Hinkle Fieldhouse (pictured below) hosted the 1954 Indiana high school championship game between underdog Milan High School (enrollment 160) and heavily favored Muncie Central High (enrollment over 1600). The Final Four will be played in Lucas Oil Stadium (home of the Indianapolis Colts) which is 7 miles from Butler University and Hinkle Fieldhouse. How bout that home crowd advantage?
