What’s up everybody? It’s that time of the year again, when on a daily basis you can expect jaw dropping upsets, where a Cinderella team emerges. You’ll experience heart stopping, game winning shots that hang in the air for what seems like an eternity before it torches the net. And last but certainly not least it gives millions across the nation the chance to be NCAA tournament gurus in regards to filling out brackets for how they envision the NCAA tournament will play out.

Now if you’ve read my blogs before, then you know how much I promote and brag about Chicago basketball players being so good. Well now I have evidence to make me credible. The best player on three of the four number one seeded teams , in this year’s 2010 NCAA Tournament, are from Chicago. And amongst the field of 64 teams, we have a copious amount of players from Chicago making us very well represented. Just to give you a quick list of the names of the Chicago ballers in this year’s tournament, we have: Sherron Collins of Kansas, the number one seed in the Midwest region, we have Jacob Pullen of Kansas State, the number two seed in the West region, John Scheyer of Duke, the number one seed in the South region, and Deandre Liggins of Kentucky, the number one seed in the East region. In addition to those players, we also have Evan Turner of Ohio State who is in the race for Player of the year and DJ Cooper, who is a young up incoming impact freshman for Ohio University.

So when you fill out your brackets, remember what I’ve been telling you about Chicago basketball players and you might be surprised how accurate your bracket turns out. Alright I’m out y’all.

What’s up everybody? This is your main man Najeeb, here to drop my last blog of the semester. As stressful as studying for finals may have been the past couple weeks, it’s all over and the month long winter break that we all have anxiously been awaiting has finally arrived. This blog I’m going to do something I’ve never done before in a blog. In my previously blogs I’ve given key advice, shared hilarious college experiences, and touch on many other topics that were important to me that I thought you all would be interested in reading. But now it’s time for a change. Many of you all, including my fellow College of Mount St. Joseph  bloggers, probably would not expect this move that I am about to make. This is a bold move I am about to make and if it wasn’t for my Chicago swagg I probably wouldn’t have the confidence to make this move. So what the hell am I talking about? I know the suspense is killing you, so I guess it’s time to tell you all. I, Najeeb Abdur-Rahman, challenge Betheny Herr (the Communications Specialist for the Department of Marketing at MSJ and coordinator of MSJ blogging) to a one-on-one game of basketball in the Harrington Center once 2^nd semester resumes so that any student that is interested in seeing Betheny get demolished, will be able to. I also want to wait till 2^nd semester so that Betheny can get some extra time to practice because I guarantee you all that she will need it. So mark your calendars everybody, one day 2^nd semester if Betheny doesn’t chicken out, it’s going down. Have a great break and happy holidays to everyone.
