According to this, Barack Obama has filled out his brackets, and he sees Ashley Judd’s UK Wildcats against my KU Jayhawks in the final game, with Kansas winning the whole thing.
Here’s why that concerns me. Obama’s seal of approval is the kiss of death, as has been pointed out time and time again, most recently with his prediction that my Colts would win the superbowl. So I don’t like that he’s betting on Kansas, because I want Kansas to win.
But I suspect he might be right that those two teams will make it to the finals, and if that’s the case, you realize that I will be going NUTS during that game, not because I really particularly care about basketball, but because it’s my alma mater against Ashley’s. And I cannot lose to that horrific, self-involved, deodorant-forgetting beast.
You guys have to start sending some serious winning vibes to KU – we need all the help we can get to override Obama’s kiss of death with some Actual Good Karma.
nope kiss of death is sealed UK is going to win woo! sorry mock
as the mother of a mu tiger, i have to go with KU.
ROCK CHALK JAYHAWK!!
Fear not, Mock. Even if Kentucky wins, they won’t be able to read about it in the newspaper-

“obviously, those years we had players leave early and they’re millionaires now, and they’re coming back to get their degrees, just like other guys have come back and gotten their degrees”
yeah im pretty sure they’re able to read enough to sign the contract when they get Drafted out.
From one superstitious KU fan to another, I think the real scare came when the ultimate of evil (Dick Vitale) decided to pick us to win. I think hell actually froze over that day.
Either way — Rock Chalk!!
Sorry about your Jayhawks. Totally, 100% Barry’s fault but I’m sure he’s good for a beer if that helps. Looks like UK is killing it but on the upside, there’s still a chance that an errant basketball will crash into Ashley Judd’s mug and it will be nationally televised.
stephanie that would be so awesome!
Stephanie – you know the way to a girl’s heart.
You have no idea how much better your comment made me feel. THANK YOU!!!
