Remember how disappointed I was earlier?

Chase Budinger got drafted by the Pistons.

Please excuse me while I go cry myself to sleep.

I am so very very disappointed

Jordan Hill didn't go in the top 5, which was garbage, because there's no way James Harden is better than Hill, and even worse, Hill got picked by the Knicks. To be perfectly honest, I hate every single sports team in New York. This sucks.

Now I just need to cross my fingers and hope that DA BULLSSSSSSSS pick Chase Budinger.

Lots of things

First of all, it's looking more and more like laryngitis than bronchitis. Also, I'm getting better. Thank God.

Furthermore, Arizona beat Cal both Friday night and last night. I should have a roundup of the entire series later today or tomorrow.

Finally, as I seem to be musing about life's unfairness quite a bit lately, and since I talked, in my first post, how it's unfair that Phil Hartman and Chris Farley are dead, I'd like to talk about another person who should be alive but, unfortunately, isn't.



Greatest singer of all time. Bar none.

God bless you, Freddie. The world misses you.

Well now, this just sucks

I'm not totally sure of it since I'm not a doctor, but the symptoms, to me, seem to match bronchitis. Yippee-freaking-ki-yay. Right before finals.

Have I done something lately to greatly offend God? It certainly seems that way.

Apologies

Sorry for the lack of recent updates. I've been sick.

Don't worry, it's not the swine flu.

¡Ay dios mio!

ESPN:

TUCSON, Ariz. -- Arizona forward Jordan Hill will forgo his senior year and make himself eligible for the NBA draft.

So now it comes down to Nic Wise. If we can hold on to Wise, things might be salvageable. If we lose Wise, then next year will be a rebuilding year for sure. I hope that Coach Miller can do some good off-season recruiting and jump-starts the rebuilding process.

However, I don't care how badly the team does next year. I'll go to every home game I can. Win or lose, I'm doing my part. I'll be there.

The streak was good while it lasted

AZ Daily Star:

Arizona junior forward Chase Budinger will forgo his senior season and enter the NBA draft, his father, Duncan, told the Arizona Daily Star this morning.

The move is irrevocable because Chase Budinger tested the draft process and returned to school last season, which is only allowed once.

Budinger and Jordan Hill will hold a joint news conference at McKale Center this week to discuss their departures for the NBA draft.

Hill is also expected to leave, since he is projected as a Top 5 pick in the June NBA draft.

UA guard Nic Wise said he will test the draft this year but not sign with an agent, so as to keep open an option to return to school.

No offense to our current underclassmen, but compared to the Big Three, they haven't gotten much playing time. We have no recruits coming in next year and we're going to be playing a squad full of relatively fresh players with not much playing time. Unfortunately, that means that next year will probably be a rebuilding year and the streak is over.

However, I will gladly suffer through next year being a poor year if it means that the years after will be a return to national prominence for this program. I think Miller can do it, but only time will tell.

Pitino not coming to Arizona

SI:

Despite rumors swirling that he's a possibility to fill the Arizona opening, Rick Pitino said he is definitely not considering a move to Tucson.

"I'm not a candidate for the Arizona job and I never was," he told SI.com on Wednesday. "I am not interested in any job. I am definitely returning to the University of Louisville."

Pitino, who has rebuilt programs at Boston University, Providence, Kentucky and Louisville during his career, was thought to be at the top of Arizona athletic director Jim Livengood's list of full-time replacements for Lute Olson, who retired in October.

This really sucks badly. I mean, there are plenty of other good coaches out there, but Pitino's one of the best. We would have been amazing with him! The guy's a dynamite recruiter and a great coach. I'm getting extremely nervous about where we're going to go from here.

First musings

I've been thinking over the past few months about the average unfairness of life. My life's pretty fair, but I think life overall just isn't fair for some people. Some people just really get the shaft and some other people don't get the shaft but definitely deserve to get said shaft.

Case in point?

Chris Farley and Phil Hartman are both dead.

Andy Dick is still alive.

I rest my case.
