2009 NCAA 1 on 1 Bracket: Final Four

ESPN is letting you fill out 10 brackets again so while we contemplate our actual bracket, we decided to yet again fill out a bracket based on theoretical 1 on 1 matchups. Unlike last years bracket, we decided to amp it up and go with historical players.

Check Out All the Brackets: West, East, South, Midwest, Final Four



Final Four

Magic Johnson (Michigan St.) over Dwyane Wade (Marquette), Magic's got too much size to hold down Wade who while holding the edge in quickness likely wouldn't be able to get to the rack with complete ease.

Michael Jordan (North Carolina) over Lew Alcindor (UCLA), my biggest question would be how can Alcindor get the ball into paint. I don't know if he could back down MJ, considering he's was never very thick. And I don't know he could be able to dribble around the court without having MJ steal it from him. For this main reason, I'm giving it to MJ. Obviously if Alcindor could just get the ball in the post every single possession it would be nearly impossible for MJ to stop him given the height advantage. I just don't see how Lew gets the ball there.

Finals

Michael Jordan (North Carolina) over Magic Johnson (Michigan St.), MJ is just a superior and taller version of Wade which would get it done against Magic. Magic could try to back him down, but MJ should be quick enough and enough of a superior athlete to get the ball to the rack.

Lou Holtz is the Homer / Annoyingly Delusional

As my buddy Joe and I always joke, if Notre Dame was suiting up against an all Jesus team, aka a team made up of 55 Sons of God, Lou Holtz would probably still pick Notre Dame to win by a touchdown. So of course this weekend when I'm watching Sportscenter and they have him and fellow old man Corso making predictions, Lou picks ND to beat Michigan. Not that big of a deal, Michigan is a big question mark this year, but of course than Lou says that Notre Dame will win 11 games this year. This is the same Notre Dame that lost to a service academy last year. And just when you thought the douchy homerism was going to end ESPN asks which BCS school is going to be the biggest surprise team in the country. Any guesses to whom it was? I'll give you a clue it was another team he coached. If you guessed South Carolina you would be a winner. Next up on Lou's prediction watch, the Jets win the Superbowl, NC St. wins the ACC, Arkansas dominates the SEC West, Minnesota wins the Big

Ranking the New York Jets Historical Helmets

There's no way you can't go with the Helmet they won the Super Bowl in. You just can't. Next, I really don't understand why they don't where the helmet with the Jet as their throwback uniforms. That helmet is awesome. Then I'm going with the Helmets from the 80s because it's the classic feel and the white face mask is 10 times better than the black one. And the rankings continue until you get to... The Titans Helmet. I hate everything about those Titan uniforms. The Helmets are boring and the colors are GOD awful. Navy blue and Mustard? What the hell is that. Disgusting. If they wore those unis when I was a kid I'd probably be a Giant fan, and be much happier with my life in football.
