The weather this week was abysmally perfect; gray, dreary, and just like the city’s mood.I never realized how much there is to hate in March. There’s always been an NCAA Tournament run by KU, and the splendor of spring just around the corner.Not this year.The Jayhawks’ season was over by the time the St. Patrick’s Day hangover wore off, and it seems as though winter will last forever. In honor of the worst March ever, here are ten things I hate about this month:**10. Those Coach Kryzewski American Express commercials.** Like Duke hasn’t been stuffed down our throats enough.**9. The Bill Self haters.** Lew Perkins said that he’s received letters from KU fans wanting Self to be fired. Ridiculous.**8. Dick Enberg.** The most over-the-hill announcer this side of Pat Summerall. When he called the KU-Kentucky game, he called C.J. Giles “Randolph Morris.”On Thursday, he erroneously reported that Eddie Sutton was coaching his final game. Wrong again, Dick.I’ve seen our Vice President at work. One incompetent Dick is enough for me.**7. St. Patrick’s Day.** Most overrated holiday ever.**6. The “KU Refused To Shake the Bucknell Players’ Hands” story.** What were the Jayhawks supposed to do? Stand there and watch them celebrate? Whoever thought this was a good story should be tied up and forced to listen to Dick Enberg.**5. The Women’s NCAA Tournament.** I’ll pay attention when KU returns. But for now, I wish ESPN would ignore it. I tried to watch ESPNEWS today, but instead of today’s top stories, the network was carrying a live women’s press conference. Thrilling.**4. The McDonald’s All-America Game.** On Monday, my [overbearing boss][1] is sending me to South Bend, Indiana to cover high school basketball’s showcase event. I’m not too excited.It used to be a fun event where we could see future college stars. But with rumors of an NBA age limit circulating, most of the players at the event are simply showing off for NBA scouts. If you’ve watched any of this year’s NCAA Tournament games, you know how much the collegiate game is suffering. ![][2] **3. The fact that Missouri fans are spending all the money that their wives made at Hooters on [Bucknell t-shirts.][3]**To retaliate, KU fans should buy [DePaul t-shirts.][4]After all, that’s the team that knocked the Tigers from the first round of the NIT.**2. [This guy.][5]**”You wanted me to jump off a bridge, I finally did,” Barry Bonds told the media. “You finally brought me and my family down. … So now go pick a different person.”Right.And your [mistress of nine years][6] did wonders for your family man reputation.If you jump off a bridge, Barry, please tie some cinderblocks to your steroid-enhanced legs first.**1. The number one thing I hate about this March?**The fact that I don’t have enough friends to organize a [dodgeball team.][7]I’ve even been dodging wrenches for practice.
