I've made the trip up to Storrs to see today's big non-conference showdown (4 p.m., CBS; Longhorns vs Huskies coverage; Longhorns vs Huskies preview; the Texas SBNation blog is Burnt Orange Nation) between #1 Texas and our beloved #21 Huskies. And since I only have a limited time before WOO GO UCONN, I offer you my very brief game preview, in haiku form:
Number one Texas
Comes into Gampel today
Please do not hurt us
--------------------------------
History with 'Horns
Agonizing to say least
'03 was bull****
---------------------------------
Game two for Blane Dawg
Everyone seems more relaxed
Calhoun still scares me
--------------------------------
Sticks having great year
He's doing all we could ask
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
---------------------------------
Kemba had good game
Preparing to dominate
Vote Walker in '12
--------------------------------
Texas wants to run
Bring that s*** on, says Dyson
As he turns ball over
--------------------------------
Gampel should be loud
Students camping out all night
Geezers remain quiet
--------------------------------
Damion James is
Best in Big 12, possibly?
He will dunk on us
-------------------------------
UConn keeps it close
With every team they play; expect
A heartbreaking loss
------------------------------
Horns always have talent
But fall short. UConn's big key:
Just tell Barnes it's March
-----------------------------
Today a warm-up
Texas should beware UConn
Orange Bowl re-match
------------------------------
That's right I said it
UConn football on the rise
So I tell people.
-----------------------------
Back to basketball
UConn needs a win badly
Notre Dame our best win
-----------------------------
Biggest Gampel game
Since Nova in '06; that game
Turned out OK, no?
---------------------------
I think UConn gets
One big game from a freshman;
McJuice's time is now?
---------------------------
Texas is damn good
UConn due a break or five.
Huskies win today
----------------------------
On the other hand
This could be 06-07
Then Texas wins big
---------------------------
I hope not, at least
I weirdly have faith today
No real idea why
Prediction: UConn 65, Texas 63
