Put Some Hump On It!

Rise. Hump Day Is Here!

Allo Hello people! ITTTTTTTTT'SSS HUMP DAY!!!

Whoop! Whoop!!

Man, it's a good day to be alive! Well I mean it's a good day to be alive any day of the week but as an extra bonus for Humps involved! Hey now...

Feeling pretty good after watching VCU get another good win inside the Animal known as the Stu in very convincing fashion. Even though I got only a limited amount of sleep due to all the excitement and HAVOC in my veins, twas' still a fun day and an even better day in progress.

And also watching this hundreds of times into the AM may have something to do with the lack of sleep...Pure Dunking Awesomeness from Justin Tillman thanks to an amazing pass from Bri! 

Anywho, Hump Day is here and if that doesn't put on your smile on your face...well go pout in the corner over there. It's a great day in the making, now make it so!

Hump In The Key.

Allo Hello on this new and improved Hump Day! Now with 25% more hump and 75% less creepiness!

Whoop! Whoop!!

This one is gonna be a short one...giggity...due to the aftermath of chanting, screaming and stomping with a splash of yelling at last night's VCU game. Needless to say...I'm a tad bit tired upon my alarm summoning me this morning.

Not yet in full game shape just yet lol.

And I get to do it all over again Thursday! Yeah I definitely need to recover all day, every day lol

Have A Good...scratch that...Great Hump Day people!

HAVOC Got Me Humping!

Tre is a BBBBAAAAADDDDD MAN!!!

Allo Hello people of the Interwebs and OMG...I am exhausted, tired and running on fumes as my fingers tap tap tappa on this keyboard as I'm writing this. But it was all so worth it! Also...it's HUMP DAY!

Whoop! Whoop!

AAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!

Before Hump Day got underway...there was GAMEDAY! And oh boy...was there ever a GAMEDAY here in the Battle for the Commonwealth up in Charlottesville. A first as #14 VCU and #25 Virginia took to the court in John Paul Jones Arena as ranked rivals...been waiting for years to FINAALLYY see this matchup take place! With all the drama and grit and hair-pulling thanks to the refs, bricks coming from the free throw line and some late crunch time magic, VCU came out victorious over the 'Hoos thanks to Treveon Graham hitting a DEEP 30+ Foot 3 Pointer with 1.1 seconds remaining!

59-56 VCU! #LetsGoVCU

College Basketball is Back and I LOVE IT!!! If you missed it, here's a video of The Dagger 2.0! 

So yeah...I'm a tad over excited and my production level is definitely super uneffective after driving up and back to witness that. Still...Worth. It.

Now while I'm watching this video a few more times before clocking in, here is this week's quotable trio!

Viva La Hump Day AND Let's Go VCU!!!

A Weekend of H.A.V.O.C.

HAVOC is definitely the best way to describe my weekend.

In a good way of course.

The first blessing is that I did not have to punch in at work.

High Five!


The second blessing is that one of the best mid-major basketball rivalries was scheduled for Saturday with VCU taking on Old Dominion. Now for those that know me very well as being a student at this fine university rockin' the black and the gold...you know how excited my Saturday was going to be!

There was so much school spirit flowing across Monroe that you thought that we beat Kansas and that we're rushing Broad Street to celebrate going to the Final Four....again. Yeah, that's how much; It was a fun day to be a Ram fan.

Before, during, and after the game I enjoyed myself to the fullest. From pre-gaming with some of my close friends mixing breakfast creations alongside with waterfalls and Mario Kart (you know..typical college stuff) all the way to the actual game itself. Which by the way we won 61-48 just in case you were actually wondering about that statistic.

It was a glorious Saturday. Sunday was what I liked to call Lazy Sunday since I really didn't feel like doing anything but get food, watch sports, play video games, hang out with my girlfriend, and sleep....lots and lots of sleep haha.

Cheers to the Weekend.


Cheers to today which involves myself and a busy schedule involving work, class, and yet another basketball game to attend to.


Nothing but some good ol' fun for this kid today!


Probably gonna substitute the waterfall for some actually water today...don't want to go to overboard.


Enjoy the start of your week!
Ttyl.

....GO RAMS!!!

Believe

"We Ain't Done Yet. Believe." -Shaka Smart

VCU did what people thought was impossible. Playing in a play-in-game otherwise known as the first ever First Four game and went all the way to the Final Four beating teams that doubters thought would wipe the floor with them.

You know why they're here? Believe.

If you’re good, you would have got rid of us.

If we didn’t belong, we would have shut the door.

If you doubt, we believe.

Hence why we’re in the Final Four.

Never doubt the word “believe”.

One word. Powerful meaning.

It fuels desires, hopes, and work to dreams.

The outcome is phenomenal. inspiring. supreme.

But it’s not just about belief, it comes with work.

Sleepless nights, physical punishment, and mental beatings.

As long you don’t dream with dark shades.

The work will make you mediocre pain fade.

Who Believes? MJ.

He thought he was the greatest. And he is.

Working, believing, and ignoring the doubt of the rest.

Rewarded with those 6 rings in his H.OF. set.

Who Believes? Maynor.

A young kid with the dream to play in the NBA.

Believing that he will walk the stage on draft night.

Now he is in the OKC, shooting with the occasional juke.

Not a believer? Just ask Duke.

Who Believes? Sanders.

Using what he had to dominate the glass.

Posterizing players with his dunking hits.

Blessed with his arm length and his drive to win.

No wonder the Bucks decide to let him in.

Who Believes? Rodriguez.

He might be short. His heart, gigantic.

Fueled with an emotional time bomb that rapidly ticks.

Leading his troops on the court where they aren’t welcome

Walking out with the nets as a parting gift.

59, 74, 94, 72, 71.

You a believer now? Jump on the bandwagon.

USC, Georgetown, Purdue, Florida State, Kansas.

Applications are now due.

This is something special here.

Especially for the members of Ram Nation.

The Nation doubted these boys could play and choke.

Now those doubters are full of crow.

Ram Nation is strong, energetic, and believe.

Hence why they rock black shoes and golden tees.

They believe in Bradford. They believe in Skeen.

They believe in Nixon. They believe in Rodriguez.

They believe in Reddic. They believe in Haley.

They believe in Brandenburg. They believe in Daniels.

They believe in Theus. They believe Hinton.

They believe in Rozzell. They believe Veal.

They believe in McCarter. They believe in Houston.

They believe in Shaka. They believe in Swag.

This is something that no one can claim was done.

From the First Four to the Final Four.

They’re not Mason, Butler, or even Indiana State.

It’s called VCU and representing this great state.

Believe.

It’s a powerful thing.

Willing to work off of it makes it true.

When everyone around continues to doubt you.

They believe. Ram Nation believes.

Now the spotlight gets bigger.

People still don’t believe but that’s okay.

These boys are working on championship day.

Swag is at all-time high. At times, it feels like you’re gonna fly.

All the way to Houston and still survive.

Playing in a game where everyone will be on the feet.

The tip is here. Show them that you can’t be beat.

Black. Gold. That’s the code the Nation lives by.

We may say it. We may bleed it. We all believe it.

No one said it’s an easy task.

But if you believe. The task drops like broken glass.

Congrats to VCU and Ram Nation!!! GO RAMS!!!

"The Rams thrive in the spotlight as being called the underdog. You would think the other schools in the CAA would have figure that out by now." -Kazie

This poem is dedicated to my VCU Rams who will be playing in the CAA tournament this weekend for a shot at winning the tourney and representing the CAA in the NCAA tournament in March Madness.

People that know me personally or follow me on Twitter (@ShadowKazie) knows that I'm a HUGE fan of VCU Athletics. So this special poem is dedicate to those representing us this weekend.

GO RAMS!

Ladies and Gentlemen. Welcome to the finale.

Take a look around, happy to be here?

I hope not.

I hope to God that you’re not.

The road to championship has already begun.

And it tends to get more dramatic with every turn.

12 schools coming for that title.

Last one standing wins.

From the scrappy Dukes of Madison,

To the dominating Patriots of Mason.

The fiery Dragons reaching for it,

And the hungry Rams going full throttle.

You are part of something special here.

One of the entertaining tourneys on Earth.

With teams hungry willing to fight for everything.

Along with fans strapped in their seats on the sides.

So prepare your wardrobe.

Your energetic Gold mixed with no fear Black.

The screams that will shake the bleachers.

And those stomps made for floor breaking.

The players aren’t down. Actually, they’re thriving.

They feed off the emotions of the moment.

3 games, 3 wins is their mindset.

No time for distractions…one game at a time.

Is winning really everything?

Well my answer is as follows…

ASK YOURSELF THE DAMN QUESTION!

Is winning the only thing you want?

Is it what you want?

Do you want to be remembered as a winner?

Or as something that threw the towel?

The heart. The mental toughness.

That’s what this moment is about.

The stage is set. It’s time to step up.

Don’t dream about the future. That won’t get it done.

Work hard. Work hard on the hardwood.

That’s how you do it.

On this stage. It’s not just another game.

It’s a moment that can define you forever.

The Nation is with you.

We’ve been there for the good and bad.

Of course, bandwagons have left the stage.

The real fans keep the faith and await.

3 games. Focus on unleashing HAVOC.

Make this mean something.

Be one with the court.

And make every bucket count.

11 teams wants you gone.

Show them you earned your spot.

Prove how much you want it.

Again, Prove how much you want it.

Make this your finest hour.

I’ll be waiting.

GO RAMS GO!
