College Basketball’s Best Kept Secret: Point Guard Jared Jordan
Mar 03, 2007 | 11:07AM | report this

Josh Q. Public:  Listen, do you want to know a secret?  Do you promise not to tell?  Whoa oh oh.  -Beatles

Public Service Announcement:  Ok, here we go!  What’s crack-a-lacking sports fans?  March Madness is right around the corner and I’ve got that fever.  Fever in the morning.  Fever all through the night.  Call the fire chief cause he’s on fire! Diaper Dandies.  PTPers.  Maalox Mashers.  Dipsy-doo dunkeroo slam-jam-bams.  All of it.  I love it.  It’s awesome baby!  We know about Ohio State’s Michael Conley.  A pass first point guard.  He has range.  He is fast.  Very fast.  We know about Arizona’s Mustafa Shakur.  Shakur struggled for three seasons.  He ain’t struggling no more.  We know about UCLA’s Darren Collison.  Darren has poise.  He knows when to push it, push it real good.  He knows when to slow it down.  And, the kid plays defense.  We know about Marquette’s Dominic James.  Penetration.  That’s his game.  That’s what lights this Warrior’s flame.  Say my name!  Reminds me a lot of Sherman Douglas.  OG.  The original General.  We know about Texas A&M’s Acie Law.  You saw the Texas game.  You saw wgat he he did then.  We know about the Tarheels’ Ty Lawson.  So far this season, only one player has been able to stop Ty Lawson from scoring.  His name is Ty Lawson.  We even know about Bama’s Ronald Steele.  He’s hurt now, but when he gets back, roll Tide, roll.  The guy we don’t know about, is Jared Jordan.

Jared Jordan.  Point guard.  Marist Red Foxes.  Regular season MAAC Champions.  Soon to be post season MAAC Champions.  Soon to be playing in a regional tournament game near you.  Jared leads his team in scoring with eighteen points.  Jared leads his team to the top of the conference.  Top of the pops.  Go tell my mamma and my sister too.  To press my trousers and polish my shoes.  He led his school to 20 wins for the first time since 1995-96.  He’s leading his team to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 1987.  He leads the nation in assists.  For the second year in a row!  Now you know.  An artist like my main man Vincent Van Gough.  This kid is putting on a show.  He is a finalist for the Bob Cousy Award.  The original Houdini of the Hardwood.  Not since Rik Smits, the Dunking Dutchman, has the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference been this excited.  And they just can’t hide it.  His game conjures up images of Jason Kidd.  He dominates the ball.  He is aggressive.  Be aggressive, be be aggressive.  Very aggressive.  And you dive and you won’t be pushed around.  But I raise five thousand.  Teddy KGB style.  He crashes the glass.  He crashes the glass because he knows he has to have the rock in his hands.  He has to have the rock in his hands so he can put the rock in his teammates hands.  #### Vitale calls him the most underrated play maker in America.  I call him the best playmaker in America. 

Peace out homies.  Six two and Even!

No appology needed Josh. great read and I'm pumped for March. My Cat's won against Stanford and I witnessed Texas suffering a painful loss against a Kansas team on a mission. Only in March. Let the madness begin!

I was watching the Cosby show today and laughed my butt off. Cliff Huxtable busted a big old grandfather clock and was trying to fix it before Claire got hom. Guess who the clock repair men where that came to the door? None other than Dickie V. and Jimmy V. the Valvano. I couldn't believe it. I had totally forgotten about that episode.

I was a little distracted doing something else. I thought they were there to fix the clock, but they may have been movers that were going to find a place to trash the damn thing. But yeah, they were all in overalls. Old Dickie V dropped to his knees, hugged the clock and goes something like "Oh geez, what did you do?"
