All congratulations due and payable to my little cousin, "The Bracketologist" for dominating the first annual NickelPlatedBama March Madness Bracket Challenge (it's a working title). What can I say? The kid's got game and handled bitness with several upsets that no one else saw coming. Big ups Kris. Keep it funky. You'll be getting your shirt very soon.
Big ups to Knowledge from the ANATOMY BLOG for holding it down and coming in second, just 30 points behind the winner.
Drama the Koofie Smacker from Code2Ave.com came correct and held down the 3 spot coming in 100 points behind the winner.
I never mentioned whether or not there would be prizes for second and third place.
2nd place will get one week of praise here on the BAMA and will have their blog linked to, no less than 20 times.
3rd place will get a hand written letter that says "better luck next time" (haha) and a handfull of NPB stickers. Drama, hit me an email with your address (nickelplatedbama@gmail.com).
Thank you everyone who participated.

B the Heat Spitta
To those who were out of the tournament before the elite 8 (like myself) better luck next year.
Maybe now I can finally stop losing so much money betting against North Carolina.
While I'm at it I would like to address the absolutely AWFUL play on both sides of the ball by Michigan State.
I just want to point out a few key points that basically ensured UNC's domination over Michigan State.
1. Michigan State had more turnovers than field goals made.
2. When a team is down 20+ points, one would imagine the sense of urgency to play defense would kick in sometime before the last 4 minutes left in the game. I was completely blown away at how lazy and inefficient Michigan State played last night.
3. I still hate Tyler Hansbrough more than any other college player in the history of the sport, but, on this site, credit is given when it is due. Psycho T put in work. He flopped/flailed/and morphed his body into ridiculous contortionist positions to make every shot look deserving of sportscenter's top 10 plays, when in reality all he did was make a copule of layups.
4. Michigan State was flat out matched and got outplayed. Congrats to UNC, Ty Lawson in particular. Dude is a beast, and a definite first rounder in this years NBA draft. As for Tyler Hansbrough, he will go down as one of the best NCAA basketball players of all time, unfortuantely for him, he doesn't stand a chance in the NBA. It's just the sad truth of the matter.
The NBA playoffs kick off next week. I got alot of work to do to unfuck myself for all of those bets against UNC.

Myspace Of The Day: Jamie O'brien
Cruisin' around on myspace and stumbled onto this chick:
OK, do I have your attention now?
Miss O'brien here is "not a model" she is a "singer". I don't care what she calls herself. She's a slim irish chick (O'brien) and is packin some heat in that backyard.
That's some serious hook and arch game for how slim homegirl is.
I guess it runs in the family:
For someone who isn't a "model" she sure poses alot eh?
Whew. She's doin some work, and thats a work ethic I could get behind.
Meet Jamie O'brien HERE.

Cooking With Ollie:
This is a new segment I have been thinking about and finally decided to go ahead and do a post.
I want to give a shout out to the homie Reez from Thegluttony.com, because this meal is extra glutt.
Today's subject: Bacon/Cheddar Waffle with Eggs over easy.
Farmer John bacon, I prefer Kirkland brand from Costco, but hey, it was here.
Tip: To keep your bacon flat, put the bacon in the pan cold with the burners off.
To get the best possible bacon, ALWAYS pull the bacon out of the pan before it is completely cooked. Remember, bacon still cooks (the grease is still hot) when it is removed from the pan.
Tillamook medium cheddar.
Follow directions for waffle batter on the box. I prefer to use Bisquick. Notice the little air bubbles? The more bubbles, the lighter/fluffier your waffles will be.
Chop up the bacon using your trusty Cutco butcher's knife.
Add the bacon to the batter...
Add the cheese...
Blend...
Make sure to use alot of pan spray to avoid sticking. Pour batter (with bacon and cheese) into waffle maker. Let it cook.
Use butter instead of oil for better taste when frying your eggs.
Turn off the burners right before you flip your eggs, to make sure they stay over easy. You want the eggs very runny, but not quite sunny side up.
Pull your waffle out of the waffle iron. Throw it on a plate, cover in butter...
Put your eggs (hopefully over easy) directly on top of the waffles. Drench with syrup.
Make sure you pop the egg to release the yolk, when it blends with the syrup it creates one of the best tastes on the planet. Consume and enjoy.
Serve with an extra large glass of chocolate milk.

Dear Hip Hop:
FUCK YOUR SWAGGER.
Sincerely,
Young Ollie Da Don.
Also, Fuck Tyler Hansborough. He is the most awkward shooter/rebounder/all around basketball player I have ever seen. Look at this FLOP in super slow mo...
HAHAHA. My man Luke didn't come within 6 inches of Psycho-T.
Dude is going to be the biggest BUST since Sean Bradley when he hits the NBA.
While I'm at it, why is Scottie Reynolds (Villanova) spending so much time on the bench?
Big ups to Michigan State shittin on UConn. Your boy Ollie called that one. You're welcome BAMA faithful.

Slackin' Off
Dear BAMA faithful,
It has been one of the longest weeks of my life.
Where do I even begin?
TBC is not happy with me.
I've been working hard at doing nothing, and I am really being a piece of shit.
Sorry for the lack of posts/updates. It's hard out here for a peeimp.
The final four is upon us. My advice has been pretty much worthless since College football ended, but if you want some touts, heres what I got:
Michigan State is currently a 4.5 point dog to UConn. Take the points. I don't have any faith in UConn and Michigan State is on fire.
On the flip side, The way UNC dominated the best player in the country and the rest of that squad known as Oklahoma, it's difficult to tell you to do anything but lay the 7 points and take UNC. I, of course will be on the other side of that because I'm an idiot and a glutton for punishment.
I have absolutely no chance at winning my bracket. Great.
I'm taking the rest of the week(end) off, and coming back harder than ever on Monday.
Some good news though:
Baseball season officially starts Sunday. Let's go CUBBIES!!! Let's win 100 games this year and get swept in the first round of the playoffs for the 3rd FUCKING YEAR IN A ROW!!
Sold my latest painting.
And that's about it for good news.
