I Love The UCF Knights And I Don't Care Who Knows It #BudLightBusters
They say the first rule of #BudLightBusters is to not fall in love with your #BudLightBusters team. Okay, that’s probably not true. But this arranged marriage for a trip to Vegas feels just like a Vegas fling. Everyone has some fun, maybe gets a good memory or two, and then goes about living their separate lives.
But how am I not supposed to fall head over heels for the Knights from the moment of that glorious tip off after a game like that? Watching Tacko Fall make a bunch of D-I athletes look like children on his way to putting up 13 points, 18 rebounds, and 5 blocks on what appeared to be an 8 foot rim was simply incredible.
Not to mention that two of the biggest struggles in his life are problems for me as well.
And he even had the craziest tourney picture of the day that didn’t include Zion Williamson.
That picture is LOL funny
I’d be remiss not to mention the rest of the Knights other than Tacko Fall, but my brain barely works after 8 pm due to my kids. But shout out to everybody responsible for the first tourney win in school history and *checks notes* Aubrey Dawkins for this thunderous dunk when things looked like they might get a little scary.
So now where do we go from here? To Round 2 against the motherfucking Dukies. I was admittedly so caught up in the moment of drinking my first beer in forever and picking a team that was already drafted, I mistakenly thought UCF was an 11 seed nestled safely away from a nightmare 2nd round matchup against the greatest collection of young talent we have seen in decades.
But you know what? A team that plays tough defense and has a 7’6″ blocking monster is exactly the type of matchup for a Duke team that struggles to shoot from deep and could have Coach K ready to call it quits at any given moment. And even though Duke has somewhat become America’s team this season because Zion is so fucking awesome, I bet when they are in a close game against a super-likable team like UCF, the public will go back to rooting against Duke with every ounce of their being. Plus anybody that wants to see Hank get a cat will be rooting for my OUR beloved Knights.
LETS FUCKING DO THIS!!!
We are still alive!
