The Mock Dock

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.

Behold:  A sea lion and Mark Mangino – University of Kansas (GO JAYHAWKS!) coach.  Totally separated at birth.

Alert and astute mockdocker mikey reminded me of Coach Landbeast the other day in an email, and in a total “you know what I hate?” moment, shared with me one of his pet peeves, which is when female sideline reporters chase down coaches and players on the field IN HEELS, often at completely inopportune times, to get the perfect soundbyte.  I think that’s hysterical. I mean, why DO they have to wear heels? It’s SPORTS, for god’s sake. There’s no heels in sports.

Speaking of female sideline reporters, how hilarious is this clip of a barely coherent Joe Namath telling this one he wants to kiss her?  LOVE!!
