I now have 10 very good reasons why the timing is perfect this year.

10. I have the mentality that they won't do it (trust me)

9. They are undefeated so far in their conference games

8. North Carolina and the KU women are horrible this year. KU needs to pick up the slack.

7. Kirk Hin(d)rich is increadible and underrated

6. Jeff Boshee is a best 3 point shooter for KU this year that I have ever seen since Terry Brown (member of the 1991 team that made it to the NCAA finals)

5. It's certain that Gooden is leaving for the NBA after this year

4. KU can beat Duke! I just know!

3. Plus, Duke had their fun last year

2. Uncle Pete (my cousin) goes here this year. Ok, I know thats a stretch, but I saw him on television 5 times yesterday in KU's game against Colorado. I think he brings good luck.

1. It's the 50th anniversary since their first national championship. When KU won in 1988, it was the 50th anniversary of the NCAA tournament. It would be so fitting to celebrate this anniversary with another championship.

OK, I'm done.
