So the first month of college hoops season is over. Really? Yes really. Yeah, odds are you, like most non-college hoops nuts, have been a bit preoccupied with football. But don’t sweat it. Dave Barend of collegehoopshumor.com has you covered. Below is a quick college hoops month 1 recap with jokes . Hope it helps bring you up to speed, or at least makes you chuckle:
Some people couldn’t understand why ESPN decided to interview Kirk Herbstreit during the first half of the Duke-KU game. Made sense to me. ESPN had almost gone 15 minutes without mentioning football. . . . Here’s my attempt to explain how the AP Rankings work: Michigan St. played no games and was ranked #1. UK beat them in the first game and was then ranked #1. Evansville beat UK, and became 3-0, and not ranked #1. Got it? . . .
The NCAA accused Memphis’James Wiseman of accepting improper benefits. I’ve since heard that that wasn’t Wiseman. Though I might have actually heard, “that wasn’t wise, man.”. . . Michigan State’s Cassius Winston is nicknamed “Cash”. Here’s hoping he didn’t get that from NIKE. . . .
ESPN’s promotion for it’s college basketball Feast Week was non-stop. And from the looks of the crowds – completely ignored. . . . At Thanksgiving dinner in my house: My wife: “Seriously?! That’s what you are most thankful for?! Not your children, your health, your wife?” Me: “Nope, I’m truly most thankful for Stephen F. Austin beating Duke.” . . . Last year, the FBI caught LSU’s Will Wade discussing a recruit’s “strong ass offer”. This past week, VCU fans taunted Wade while wearing FBI garb. Creative, but I’d really love to see a fan offer him a muscular donkey.
UNC has a player whose name is Leaky. What would cause someone to name a kid Leaky? My best guess is a faulty condom.
Concluding note from Dave: Well there you have college hoops month 1 recap with jokes.
