Let me start dreaming

[MikeWaters]

BYU beats Xavier, and then in a shocker knocks out OSU.

Suddenly BYU is the talk of the tourney (mixed with OSU being overrated etc), Plaisted is talked about as an amazing talent, etc.

Ahh..........please do not interupt my reverie.

Can I join you?

I'd love for Plaisted to go against Oden and tear him up with his left AND right. And I'd love to see Keena Young burn whoever OSU throws at him in the post. Now all of a sudden BYU starts getting love, but because we're a "mid-major" we start getting the George Mason treatment.

The reality, however, is that I am pessimistic about BYU's mental game, and if I had to bet my life, I would bet against BYU.

It's a fair fantasy. I can hear Jim Nantz calling the games right now:

...BYU is the first MWC to win in the postseason since Utah

...BYU is the first MWC to advance to the Sweet Sixteen since Utah

...BYU is the first MWC team to defeat a higher seed since Utah

...BYU is the first MWC team to defeat a #1 seed since Utah

...Plaisted could be the MWC's first first-round draft selection since Bogut

...Ainge is the first MWC player to post back-to-back double-doubles in the tournament since Hawkins

...BYU is the first MWC school to win the conference in football and basketball, win their bowl game and advance to the sweet sixteen all in one year, since Utah

...BYU is the first MWC team to advance to the Elite Eight since Utah

And so forth.

This reminds me of one of my favorite scenes from one of my favorite movies.

"You are wonderful!"

"Then why are you smiling?"

"Because there is something that I must tell you."

"What is that?"

"I am not left handed."

Thats right. Trent Plaistad is actually a rightie. He's been saving it all for the second round against OSU. They won't have any idea how to guard him. Sweet 16 here we come!

"Oh. There's something I ought to tell you."

"Tell me."

"I am not left handed, either."

Sorry, I can't actually relate that to basketball, but I wanted to continue the movie scene.


BTW, can I borrow your team for the tournament? Mine didn't even make the NIT.

Sure hop on the bandwagon. Hopefully we'll get one this year.

Are you trying to tell me that Greg Oden is actually a leftie??? Oh man, we could be in serious trouble if we get past Xavier.

Good one. A year or two ago I started to play racquetball one or two times a week with an old friend of mine who had moved back to the area after being gone for many years. He had been playing racquetball for about 15 years and was very good. We had been playing for about six weeks and I was surprised to find that I was already to the point where I could give him a good game. I was feeling pretty proud of myself and then I looked down and realized that he had been playing with his left hand the entire six weeks. I thought of Princess Bride and had a good long laugh.
