I didn't watch one second of the national championship on Monday night. I knew how it would go down, and I couldn't bare to see it happen. I have avoided the highlights so far, and God willing I will never see them. It's all part of the plan to pretend it never happened.
The 2009-2010 basketball season and tournament will forever be remembered by me as the one I don't remember. UNC played its most disappointing season in its 100-year history, and the tournament was a perfect nightmare. I couldn't describe a more soul-crushing way for it to unfold.
Just a few more days and this dook thing will blow over, and I can resume forgetting it.

Sunday Sports Summary
The craziest sports days leave Sportscenter anchors breathless at the top of the broadcast. Saturday was one of those days.
It started with (alma mater alert!) UNC's hoops game at Kentucky. This season I will cheer against Kentucky, and not only so the Heels can pass them in the "Race to 2,000 Wins", which is important because college basketball will be canceled forever when one team reaches that mark. I will root against them because John Calipari is an ass who will probably ruin their program someday.
UNC thought the game ended after about three minutes, when the Wildcats scored 28 points to the two points UNC mustered. For the rest of the game they played catch-up, and made the final look respectable. But without a 100% John Wall, it was bound to get closer.
The McDonald's Mastercard College Football Championship Saturday, Race to the Citi BCS National Championship presented by Dr. Pepper followed basketball. Florida's Tim Tebow, the greatest person in the history of the Earth, lost to Alabama, and will be bronzed alive a la Han Solo and placed outside of The Swamp, bowl game be damned.
Most people who tuned in to the Big 12 Championship presented by Every Company in the S&P 500 rooted for Nebraska, first for parity's sake and then for pity's sake. The Blackshirts (so-called because they almost never wear black shirts [go figure]) only put nine players on the field for offense, or so it seemed as they gained 106 yards for the whole game.
(Both teams combined to gain 308 in the game. Alabama, facing the nation's top defense in many catagories, gained 274 yards in the first half.)
The Huskers managed to turn those yards into 12 points, and if they hadn't donated 55 yards on penalties to the Texas scholarship fund and the football team, the BCS polling computers would have exploded. We could have seen a non-BCS school, TCU, play for it all. It's a damn shame that five teams won all of their games, and only two get the chance to win the national championship. Shame on college football.
Speaking of national championships (alma mater alert!), the Tar Heel ladies soccer team won title number 20, more than every women's team in every Division I sport at every college ever. The field hockey team also won a natty, making the Heels the defending champions in three team sports.
