Stream of Consciousness

I am an avid reader of the Sports Guy on espn.com. Thus, I decided to try doing a play by play commentary on the thoughts of both myself and always entertaining roommate.

4:40 -- Game time. CM has a weird man-crush on Jim Nantz. Very strange. Beer one. JS and RS wrestling on the couch.

4:42 -- Everyone picks a player...when they score, you give out drinks. I have Douglas-Roberts. CM takes Ron Lewis. JS takes Oden.

444 -- CM: Memphis is broke. OSU: 20 game win streak. Memphis: 25...interesting stat.

445 -- Memphis is really struggling...haven't scored in the first three minutes (0-5 FG).

447 -- Game modified...now you give out total points. Tally: Oden 2, Lewis 2, CDR 0. Memphis: 0-7, 3 TOs. CM is giddy with happiness. New game: pick a commercial.

4:50 -- RS not drinking. I take "This is our Country". CM: Masters "win for the ages". JS: Chevy commerical with celebs. First "Great Odin's raven" line is dropped. Memphis cuts it to 4. Oden 3, Lewis 4, cdr 0.

4:55 -- Just youtubed Tiger's 16th hole of the 2005 masters...goosebumps. CDR called for the offensive foul...the officials are trying to get me drunk. CDR takes a breather...terrible pick by me.

4:58 -- CM vows to steal JS's date tonight...should be an interesting matchup. Lewis scores...6, Oden 3, cdr zip.

4:59 -- Meckes agrees with me...great announcing team. JS wants Morgan Freeman because "people love his voice." lewis scores...7, 3, 0. Then Oden scores for memphis...JS drinks two out of shame. But then he makes up for it with a punishing dunk. 5 points for the 41-year old freshman.

5:02 -- CM: I'm pretty sure Hummers can't turn into submarines.

5:06 -- Wow, I should have picked Hunt...hes got about 10 points. CDR still scoreless.

5:08 -- King's Bbuffet just isn't sitting well with me. The health department nailed that one. JS has to drink for an incorrect call. Othella Hunter is not Greag Oden it turns out.

5:10 -- CM: Rafftery is gonna give Conley a BJ by the end of the game. Still no commercial results.

5:11 -- First Jim Nantz commercial...really annoyed by that guy. Real close talker...really creepy guy. Love the NCAA commercial with the Michigan hockey goal...awesome.

5:14 -- WHY DIDNT I PICK HUNT! 16 points! JS: first time in tourney history all elite eight teams are top four seeds. Interesting fact.

5:15: CDR draws a foul, goes to the line...hoping to break the scoreless streak. Misses the first. 5 minutes til I chug a beer for his scoreless half. Misses the second. Starting to sweat a bit.

5:16 -- CDR draws second foul...probably gonna sit the rest of the half. Damn it. CM: God that girl from Oklahoma is a hoss (talking about a womens bball player).

5:17 -- Lighty from OSU can jump out of the arena. Rafferty might be giving a lot of bj's after the game.

5:19 -- This Lowe's commercial with the bball fans is driving me crazy.

5:20 -- I HATE THE UPS GUY. Commercial game changed...pick a company...i stick with chevy. JS: UPS to spite me...Meckes: Masters promos.

5:22 -- Antonio Anderson catches an elbow...bleeding like a stuck pig. None of our guys have scored recently...Thanks for pointing that out CM.

5:24 -- Rafferty has a legit man crush on Conley. Lewis hits another bucket...9 points. I mistakenly call Meckes on an error. Oops.

5:27 -- cm continues threatening to hook up with JS's date. inapporpriate comments are being made. i can't publish them.

5:28 -- CDR ON THE BOARD! HUMONGOUS DUNK. 9, 5, 2

5:29 -- Does it get any better than when Michael Bolton sings "When a Man Loves a Woman?"

5:30 -- CM: My mommy thinks I have a problem. JS and myself: You do have a problem.

5:31 -- Memphis down three...3.2 left in the First. Memphis misses a desperation heave at the buzzer to tie it up. 41-38 OSU at half.

Taking a break for halftime...back for the second half.
