feel good to watch the best basketball team in the city of philadelphia?

24-hour marathon on ESPN starting at midnight. Don Ho and Todd will be watching the 4am Hawaii game
Just waiting for this St. John's/St. Mary's game to end. I love this shtein. If I didn't have a 6 AM HST conference call I'd love to head down and watch the Hawaii/Central Michigan game.
duke vs. k state tonight...should be awesome. and farg duke.
dick vitale said it should be awesome so i'm going to tune in
any game with duke is the most amazing game ever to vitale. this one really should be good though.

yeah no shtein dickface. but its disgusting how much he roots for duke even as the so-called biased play by play guy. so bad tonight.
duke looks good as shtein though. it sucks for everyone. except for maybe the kkk.
he doesnt root for dook anymore than north carolina or kansas...he loves the classic programs and puts them on another level from all other teams...it just so happens that duke won last year and is the favorite this year so you notice it more...when nc was at the top he did the same thing with them
100% false. he's had duke on another level since I was ten years old.
thats cause you hate duke more
he used to be on carolina way harder until dean smith left...now its whoever is better at the time
Penn State hosts Maryland tomorrow night. Talor Battle is going to be disappointing.
this georgetown - mizzou game is off the hook.
up by 18 in the first half, down by 4 with 10 seconds. buzzer beater to sent to OT. nuts.
boom. game of the year so far.
austin freeman is the truth.
temple beat maryland
again.
temple gonna get schooled tonight son.
Awwww yeah, it's on like donkey kong.
Early December non-conference basketball games between unranked psuedo-rivals. Consider me unaroused.
the other cf is also not enthralled by this game
must be a new rule that #9 means unranked.
even so, early season basketball games are some of the most exciting of the year. ncaa bball >>>> all other sports
Penn State is ranked? Who woulda thunk it.
Clearly I don't pay attention this early.
georgetown fool.
Yes I know, I was being an intentional retard.

its so big they are gonna play it twice!
hmm...i've written the 9th on about 3 things today.
its better to pretend it happening today, that way youll be prepared when juan fernandez skull fargs john tompsons stupid face into the court
looks like kyrie irvings college days didnt last long
word is he has serious ligament damage in his toe and is out a minimum of six weeks but more than likely done for the season (and college career)
austin freeman is a dork
bow down.
damn temples shooting the lights out.
yea not really
temple plays ugly ghetto jew ball.
they were shotting 78% when i wrote that.
jared sullinger had a retarded game tonight...that cat is a monster
no doubt. they needed most of it though.
gotta admit, owls D is good. not worried though, hoyas are all farged up for some reason. they'll be better in the second.
franny dunphs dont lose to schools not named kansas at the liac
bet?
name your price slick
i can afford everything, your pick. gotta be soon though cuz you're about to be blowsed out.
if you post an amount within 13 minutes left on the clock i'm in.
oh shtein
ill give you two choices
1. first dibs on igys butthole
2. fantasy bball $
13 min. i don't even understand the options. i've already had 1, don't understand 2.
youre not in the fantasy hoops league? the buy-in for that.
or $20
i'm not. that i know of.
but ok, i'm basically giving you 6 points with 12 min. left but i'm in.
oh i just figured you were...
and with that i just jinxed my boys

could temple act more small time
toddy wins.
garbage.
you guys will need that come march though so thats cool. i want temple in the tourney.
we were makin the tourney with or without this win, but it will help of course
though on the bright side they won essentially as tennessee scored a td to kill my parlay
i'll send you a check tomorrow if you want but it'll be more fun to let it ride.
if i didnt do a whole bottle of tanqueray i wouldnt have given you 6 with 12 left.
Thompson is lucky affirmative action exists, or this douchebag wouldn't have a job.

you so crazeee

georgetown blows
Finally got to see San Diego State tonight. Played at home against UNLV. Ok, nothing spectacular. SDSU Won 55-49. They do have this one kid that looks real good, Kawhi Leonard.
I'll bet Rome was too busy furiously masturbating to creat his "Duke is going to suck in 2011" thread.
I hate FSU, had $ on Duke, and still very much enjoyed that shtein.
yes, georgetown does seem to blow at the moment but they'll pick it up.
and i got deja vu watching that duke game, i feel like florida state beats duke when they're #1 every time they play.
i also went 7 for 7 in gambling on college games yesterday.

jimmer fredette is out of his mind again...he might be the danny wurffel of cbb players but god damn if he isnt fun to watch
yeah he is. penn state actually gave dude a scholarship to play WR.
It almost feels like he never misses. I didn't watch the 2nd half last night, but the first was one of the most entertaining games I'd seen in a while. SDSU moves the ball around really well and has an intricate offensive play, then BYU just feeds the ball to Jimmer and it's in the hoop. Ridiculous.
hes from glens falls ny which is like 45 minutes from my house in upstate ny....in december byu scheduled a homecoming game for him...but they didnt do it in albany or at msg...they actually did it in glens falls at the same arena where the phantoms now play...words cant describe how awful this little "city" and arena are...arena holds 4100 i think....its like an older way smaller utica or for matty reading...a tiny classic east coast ex factory manufacturing town....the fact that byu did that for him is pretty cool

holy shtein the sequence of the last two shots was just bonkers
Jimmer's about to lose though.
poor die hard university scarlet knights
so close, so close
on back to back possesions jimmer raised up for a 23 footer where the ball got hit by a defender and he still swished it...then 30 seconds later came down and jabbed stepped a 29 foot jumper...it was so ill
if he wasnt from your whitebread upstate ny racist rich person house you wouldnt even care
i think you are confusing the hamptons with far upstate ny

QuoteQ: Just wondering your thoughts on Jimmer Fredette. Reading articles about him, scouts seem divided. What kind of pro do you think he'll make? Any comparable players to his style?
-- Nick McLain., Indianapolis
SG: Remember, as long as you have one elite skill, you can play in the NBA for 8-10 years. Jimmer can fill it. He won't be a bust. I see him landing somewhere between a homeless man's Mark Price and an extremely poor and almost destitute man's Stephen Curry. Could he eventually carry your second-team offense for six minutes per half? Yes. Could he thrive as a spot-up shooter on the right team? Yes. Would you have to hide him on defense at all times? Yes. Would it be fun to scream "JIMMER!" and watch him swish 28-foot 3-pointers? Yes. Would it be fun to have an NBA star whose name sounds like what they called an erection in 1920? Of course.
steph curry is a scorer at the nba level...jimmer will be a shooter so theres no comparison there...
i think hes the classic case of where he goes will dtermine how he fares...on the right team i think he could be a steve kerr...but he could just as easily be steve alford
in the least there needs to be a presidential order that gus johnson does all his ncaa tourney games
Indiana and Utah will fight to the death for the rights to draft him.
Him playing anywhere else would be unthinkable.

Ouch but true. I thought the spiders would be better this year with a team full of seniors but they have disappointed. Xavier and Temple probably make it to the tournament from the A-10.
richmond is a borderline tournament team even now and that tells you everything you need to know about the state of the ncaa these days
xavier was barely getting past western michigan and ipfw in november and now they gonna run through the a10 with just one loss
the whole thing is terrible expect for the tourney which in itself is only fun because of gambling...they need to cut the division 1 teams to something like 100 so the talent isnt going all over the place.
i dont know what shines a bigger light on the weakness of cbb this year...temple possibly being a four seed or richmond making the tournament...adding MORE teams to the tournament is definitely what they needed...can you imagine if they went to 128 like a lot of people wanted

Agree, they will get beat by at least 20pts vs. Duke (any less would be a shock) they might, might win the A-10 Tourney.

its not just this year....this decade alone george mason and butler made final 4's and butler was an inch away from winning the title.
if you use last year as a basis temple was a top 15 team that won the a10 tourney and still was just a 5 seed....so using that logic this year they are a 7 or an 8 or something like that
george mason and butler show parity not weakness...they both deservingly made the tourney and had amazing underdog runs...thats what the tournament is all about
last couple years cbb has just been plain awful...the overall zestyness of the sport also takes away from a butler making it now because with no really good teams it changes the definition of 'upset' and limits the amount of true cinderellas there could be

I know they lost by double digits, but damn Fran had an awesome game plan for the owls tonight. They missed some easy shots early, but they paly with that intensity in the A-10 tourney. Its a 3 peat!
actually it would be a 4 peat
and watching this i wonder what fran could do if he wasnt getting 2nd rate talent
It's better than the 11th rate talent the football team hopes to get.
im not even sure if there is a proper analogy to describe the dropoff in the talent the sec gets to the talent temple gets

I was just coming to post that. Total horseshtein.
im not going to pretend i care because im already over it, but how is that not reviewed?? the guy stepped out AND threw the ball into the crowd with more than a second left on ther clock
That's awesome DH, enjoy!!
And got Owls, beat the ish out of the Explorers!!
obviously a terrible call but i wouldnt say they got hosed....does anyone really believe they would have converted from half court with a second and a half left...they should have had that opportunity no doubt but its not like someone was hacked with no call that would have sent them to the line
Actually, there were two uncalled fouls on the prior two possessions as well.
also they werent winning 5 games in 5 days to get into the dance

at least they last further than nova
what a joke jay wright is
I love these mid-major conference tournaments. Montana/Northern Colorado on ESPN 2 now.
it doesnt matter to me whether they would have hit the shot or not..they werent given the opportunity which as far as im concerned, would define getting hosed.
and regardless of which school got farged, this happened in the big east tourney which is clearly the best of them all so to say no one cares is a little silly.
Quote from: DH on March 09, 2011, 04:43:32 PM
im not going to pretend i care
if a rutgers alum doesnt care then who would?
espn cares because its 8 minutes they can use during sportscenter...but im not sure who else really gives a damn
had this happened to a bubble team or in the semi final or finals bwtn like pitt syracuse it would carry more weight
as it is tho i dont see it being a big deal...shtein even the rutgers coach didnt care
i care as a fan of college basketball, not as an alum of rutgers. if a call (or calls) as bad as that can happen in the big east tourney (by refs who have each officiated multiple final four games), it makes me concerned that it can, and probably will happen in the big dance.
publicly, rice handled it incredibly well. he was irate in the locker room over it though so dont think what he presented in his post game presser was exactly how he felt.
That old ref, the first one who walked off, is a colossal douche.

i dont think its news that bad calls could happen anywhere anytime and i dont think the rutgers game changes that in the least
seemed like rice cared about the non foul calls more than the out of bounds thing
probably for two reasons
one he knew that they had little to no chance of making a shot there
two if you brings a ton of attention to that call then it also bring attention to the fact that his entire benched also missed it
id be hard pressed to think of a call as bad as those is at a point in the game as critical as it was
also, why is it so inconceivable to think they would have made that shot? they would have inbounded from halfcourt with 1.7 left...plenty of time to make something happen.
it def was not inconcievable but it had very little chance of happening...so little that it wasnt worth getting upset over
nebraska 5th down game was much worse...phil luckett too
im sure theres a hundred more calls in sports history that were more agregious mostly because yesterdays game meant absolutely nothing
did you see the shot seton hall made the day before? that had very little chance of happening too.
i still dont see how you can say a big east tourney game means nothing regardless of the teams playing.
big east tournament is a watered down mess that was ruined by their expansion so i dont bye into the greatness of it anymore....the final is still a great watch but these first two rounds are awful
i guess the game kinda meant something to syracuse in that rutgers would have been a easier game for them but other than that it didnt matter who won
btw those refs are out for the rest of the tourney
yea but theyre gonna let them officiate the big dance. nice that the big east took action, not sure why the ncaa didnt.
the big east only did it so the crew wouldnt take away shine from the actual games theyd be officiating...it wasnt a punishment to the refs
i bet if it had happened in a reg season game they would have stayed on their regular rotation
just read they voluntarily stepped down
voluntarily should be in quotes
They'll volutarily cash the checks they got for voluntarily stepping down.
UCONN wins
Storrs holla!
-unc getting beat by miami
-x getting beat by dayton
-nw against with osu
i smell march
unc down by 17 w 8 to go and comes back to win
did unc hit a shot with no time left or was it like two seconds and miami got a full court heave attempt
sometimes the internet is pretty cool

Damn, what a night for basketball. Watched the ND/Louisville and Va Tech/FSU game at the gym. Got home and watched the 2nd half of San Diego State/UNLV. Gotta love March.

Go Penn State?
nothing says ncaa tournament team quite like a 36-33 win
and im serious about that...college basketball sucks and penn st being in consideration for an at large is exactly why
They played much better today and smoked MSU. Temple? Wtf was that effort?
jimmer went nuts today and scored more pts than wisky or penn state did in their game
glens falls throw your hands up
See that ending to the Akron/Kent State game? Akron celebrating on the Kent State player who was sprawled out on the floor in tears.

temple blows, but that has nothing to do with the embarrassment that is a 13-loss penn st with 0 good out of conference wins safely getting an at large. they beat wisconsin twice and michigan st twice, both of which suck, and now theyre a 10 seed.
its horrendous. in fact they are the 1 team temple might be able to beat.
Nova gets #9 in the East and will face George Mason in Cleveland, with the winner getting #1 overall Ohio State. Just quit now Jay

Personally yourself? Damn.
then my next stop will be to richmond to punch you in your jew face
Believe it or not I'm just trying to help you. You farging ingrate.
Dork.
Virginia Tech should be in and VCU should be out. Most students at VCU thought they were NIT bound.
colorado should be in over both
Yep especially over Clemson.

I think 2005 was UNC. Either 05 or 06. Other than that, couldn't even tell you who they beat, let alone who got snubbed from the tourney that year. Hell, I couldn't even tell you who got snubbed last year.

further proves my point, actually
no one really remembers any of this stuff. the ncaa tournament is a fun couple of days of watching lots of hoops and mindlessly gambling. nothing more, nothing less. in the end unless you get a duke/butler situation the ending is fairly anti climactic.
but at least its decided on the court and not by a calculator
i dont see you having a point....at least not one that makes any sense
no one should discuss selection sunday....is that it?
no, you can discuss it
but its a pointless circle of ooo colorado should be in not vcu when 99% of the people talking havent anyseen either of them play and couldnt tell you the first thing about the logistics of caa scheduling and recruiting
all of those teams are gonna be gone by sunday anyway. if you feel bad for some senior on colorado because he wont get to "experience" the ncaa tournament (which is terrible to go to btw) then alright. youre a complete Hoyda but alright.
UNC won in 05. They beat Nova in the Sweet 16 that year on the bogus (not just saying this, but literally was bogus) Allan Ray travel call with 10 seconds left.

no one feels bad for them and no one has to have seen any of the teams (uab - vcu - col) to know it was arguably the all time worst snub/inclusion in tourney history
its simply selection sunday talk...again what is your point?...the entire reason for having selection sunday is that kind of discussion....seems to me you are being an idiot just to be one
Quote from: ice grillin you on March 14, 2011, 09:54:01 PM
seems to me you are being an idiot just to be one
That's kind of his shtick.
you lost me in hyperbole of colorado being the biggest snub in the history of mankind civilization ever ever ever routine
bla bla bla bla glen falls jimmer bla bla bla bla
uab over colorado is easily the biggest disgrace of any selection sunday in history...you cant name one worse so i wont ask...but name one that even comes close
of course you are claiming it to be hyperbole when five posts ago you admitted you couldnt remember any snubs that have ever happened so im not sure why im even asking you
lol
my point is no one can remember any of the snubs with the exception of the fan bases from that team. i can vividly remember temple getting jobbed twice in seeding (2000 they were 2 and should have been a 1...last year they were 5 and should have been a 3 or a 4). but im the only person who remembers that or gives a shtein.
its like talking about being not making the all star team in baseball.
and since were on the subject of hyperbole penn st has to the be the worst 10 seed of all time. and this has to be the weakest tourney field of all time. and i have the biggest cock of all time.
this is the worst tourney field of all time (good year to expand the field by the way) but i dont think we should talk about it since no one will remember it in two years
well lets wait until actually games are being played, then the conversation will actually be interesting
right now, this predictably awful tangent between you and me aside, its about as interesting as an episode of the king of queens
and in terms of sports debates theres a big difference between debating who is really number 1 college football and who is really number 39 in college basketball. everyone can watch alabama and tcu and oregon. nobody watches vcu and colorado and clemson. you can still have it but its full of generalities and mimics exactly what jay bilas just said.
sunday to thursday talk is almost always better than the actual tournament

Quote from: MDS on March 14, 2011, 11:02:31 PM
but buzzer beaters and upsets or not 4 endless days of hoops >>>>> talking about stuff
theres like one buzzer beater per tournament....if that...buzzer beaters are what the media wants you to think the tournament is all about...when what you really need to hope for is that there are a few epic games thru out the 63
Air Force getting in a few years ago when they weren't even on anyone's first four out list was the worst inclusion of all time. They got pummeled in the first round too. Colorado was snubbed but I don't remember being as floored by it as when Air Force was let in.
not that it matters how you lose (or even if you win) once you are already a bad pick but what year did they get pummeled cause recently air force lost by 8 and 11 to illinois and north carolina respectively
and looking at their resumes both those years neither one is worse than uab...uab literally did not beat a single tourney team (vcu is not a tourney until they win tonight)
I don't remember. I have to look it up, and I don't know what the final scores were, but the game they were in wasn't close. I just remember so many people were so confused when their name showed up, myself included.
i did look it up they lost by 8 and 11 and in one of the games (carolina?) they were up by 5 at half
Tru TV? Are you farging kiddng me? This is the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament. Took me 1/2 an hour to find it on the TV.
Can't wait for Sir Charles and his rants!
You've been in your tsunami shelter too long because all I've heard on sports radio for the last week or 2 is how Tru TV has some games and that this is the first year that every game of the tourney is going to be broadcast on television without the need to purchase an additional tourney package through your cable provider.
I can't focus with all the civil defense sirens going off.
I knew they were going to show some games on tru tv. Just pissed we don't get it on basic cable.
outstanding st marys kent state ending
That was a great game. The poor dude who missed the game winning layup for St. Mary's was the WCC player of the year.
i got to thinking tonight....if lebron james right now is on wake forest how does their season end up
shut up
what if kevin love is a senior at ucla and what if derrick rose is a senior at memphis. what if wall and cousins are still at kentucky.
thats the more interesting question
not really even close to as interesting but then again i would expect no one on this board to ever understand my sports thinking
im next level
what an interesting debate
what if the best basketball player in the world was on a terrible acc team
next on the docket, what if payton manning quarterbacked the akiba hebrew academy varsity team
see this is what i deal with on a daily basis here
lets pretend a guy didnt leave early and imagine how his team would do with him...do you have any idea how simple minded cliche and espn'ish that is

ive got em losing in the sweet 16 to utah state..
im not super high on pitt im more high on their unbelievably easy draw...there are no great teams this year and anyone can lose just about anytime but its set up for pitt perfectly...their second round game will be against a mid major their 3 and 4 seeds are by far the worst in the tourney and their two is over seeded...i actually belmont playing them in the sweet sixteen thats how down i am on their bracket
and i dont count the usually arent a good tourney stuff...every year is different

OK Mr. President, let's get back to the game. This ain't the OJ white Ford Bronco.
Yeah Texas barely hung on.
WTF happened to Tennessee? Went down stairs real quick to watch the Villanova game on TRU. How many points did they score in the second half?
bruce pearl happened to them...is there a better recuriter/worse coach than that dope
Georgia Tech and NCSU would love to have him. Pretty sure Tennessee is done with him.

Nova looking good so far
George Mason does it.
Let's go Todd! Represent. Owl Fever.
This Memphis coach looks like he belongs coaching in the 6 & Under local youth basketball league. What is he, like 22?

Another epic choke job by Nova.

Wow! What a block. Arizona doesn't want this thing.

He goes to Temple and you expect him to know the difference.
Cute.
im not even...but...i mean is it just possible to be less funny than you are?
Lavoy Allen is a lazy motherfargin piece of shtein! How bout some hustle you over grown, refuse to use ur God given talent piece of crap!!!
Its called HUSTLE you ASSHAT Allen!!
Kick to the gut imminent?
Wtf kind of call was that? That bitch traveled!!!
Nice make up call! LOL!
Temple may be the least aggressive team in the tourney.
Are you kidding me with this bullshtein? TAKE IT TO THE GODDAMN RACK!
Does Dunph confiscate their testicles?
I didn't understand their strategy of running down the clock and rushing shots. I give them credit for hanging tough and staying in the game.
Simple, Allen has always been a BITCH!!!
Tough loss but there's nothing to be ashamed of here. They lost to the #2 seed in the region in 2-OT, after all.
They played like the Hoydas they are
I'd sdsu was any good the game wouldve been over 2 hrs ago. And for a 2ot game that was boring.
Product sucked.
Allen was barely getting rim on his 13 footers and SDSU's big men were knocking them down from 15 with regularity. Allen was cringe-worthy to watch. He's soft down low too.
He's been that way since day one. Likes to stand around and get rebounds. A real legend.
Such a small time game overall. Both these teams suck. An instantly forgettable double ot ncaa game
That was the most evenly-matches 7-point game I've ever seen. Calm down.
Also, I won both by SDSU -6 and Temple +2.5 2H/OT... So, I'm a bit giddy.
Wow.
Pittsburgh. Wow.
Butler/Pitt last seven seconds were, well...
I don't believe what I just saw. I'll leave it at that.
Yeah, right, right Jay?
Just like this... :o
I've seen high school games better played than the temple game.
Awful right down to 3 hours of reggie miller
the butler/pitt game was the antithesis of the temple game. that's why college basketball is great even if you get the occasional awful game. stop hating, already.
That was great. The awful product aside it was pure tourney action
But that doesn't take away from how awful temple was and how bitter I am that they lost to a bunch of so cal Hoydas

and it was actually almost two hours early this time....btw i havent been asleep since 2am friday and have been drinking since 330 yesterday
I rode that train once and pretty much got drunk in the first two hours and then slept from Jacksonville to Wilmington, DE.
Honestly, it was the best night's sleep I've ever had. Still, I'd never farging do it again unless I had Jessica Biel as a compartment companion.
Just read that UW point guard, Isaiah Thomas, got his name as a result of a 'lost wager' made by his father on a Lakers v Pistons game back in 1989...his mother went along with the idea because she liked the Biblical association.

the Pitt loss killed my Southeast bracket but still in decent shape....35-7 so far
How much do you stand to win?
Not as much as Charlie Sheen.
I love your rapist wit.
Seems like I've been saying this a lot lately but --- Wow.
Texas has the ball and cant get it inbounds and then they give up an AND 1 to possibly lose the lead!
I actually had Arizona beating Texas and beating Duke and going to the final 4. I know the Pac 10 wasn't that strong this season but I have a feeling about them.
The selection committee feels a fit vindicated with VT losing to Wichita State in the NIT today, while VCU is going to the Sweet 16. Still, UAB was an awful choice.

theres as many teams left from richmond va than from the entire big east
the temple board is loving the big east collapse
of course they would kill their first born to get into the big east but doesnt stop them from destroying it. also their team hasnt made it out of the first weekend since 2001. yet they talk down on nova and syracuse.
Temple beat who they were supposed to beat, barely, and lost who they were supposed to lose to, barely. Tell those idiots to stop whining.

actually this is a good bet. 20 temple makes the sweet 16 at some point in the next 10 years.
Wow, an average bet of $2/year. Way to raise the stakes Mr Bond.
its mattys 20 and im trying to waste it on something stupid

whats hilarious is that you rip the three guys on temples board for being delusional when you actually thought temple was going to get a five star kid...five star philly guys who stay local are going to nova and all other five star guys wouldnt even visit temple much less go there...you gotta hope temple can score some diamond in the rough philly kids or north jerzey guys and win a conf title every once in a while....thats their ceiling...thats it...thats the list
he had temple and gtown 1 2 just last week
nova swoops in and frees up a scholarship and boom, hes there. its fine. its how it is. if im him i might make the same move.
but chaney got 5 star kids from time to time. xavier gets 5 star kids every now and then and they have a big east team in their city plus osu, kentucky and louisville in the backyard. temple should be able to now. im not saying once a year or something but every so often they should have the ability to really get a blue chip player.
problem is it doesnt look like fran has the capabilities to close the deal. maybe they should find someone who can.

How lame were those first two games tonight only to be followed by two amazing ones? Got to love this shtein.
I have one team left (for now) and that's Arizona.
Oh man, the whole country is having a shtein fit. Who the farg had Butler in the Final 4? Not surprised UCONN is there. Those were two great games today. No way Kansas loses. Right?
i wonder how easys bracket is doing
UCONN
VCU raining threes on their asses!
Up 11!
Lol at Bill Self complaining to the official after the last VCU three.
You're getting worked, Bill...shut up
morris twins karmatic payback for not going to temple
Biggest upset ever?
No. If you saw the way VCU was playing leading up to this game, it was not that big of an upset at all. VCU is playing on fire right now and they are the best team left in the tournament with the way they are currently playing.
I think they would beat the Miami Heat by double digits right now.
That wouldn't be all that impressive. If they can beat Butler though, that's impressive.
wrong thread pal
Kentucky shot lights out! They were like VCU earlier
And the refs --- come on with Harrison Barnes getting smoked with no call!
when I look at a game like Kentucky vs. UNC I think to myself..which state is more Southern? And then I root for the other.
Kentucky got the nod in this case, and so I'm pleased with the result.
Tough call.
I'd give Kentucky the hick edge over NC.
Define hick.
Kentucky is more hillbilly than hick. I think of the former as ignorant but generally good natured, generous, forgiving, and the latter as ignorant but generally petty, mean spirited, and close minded.
F the Carolinas, both of 'em.
UNC has a really nice campus and everyone I've met in NC was always friendly to me. I went to UNC for a couple years before I transferred for bigger and better things.
I've never been to Kentucky though.

Ha! What's funny is that UNC's campus is in the middle of a veritable liberal mecca. Hippies and elitists abound. You'd be in heaven.
Most major colleges and universities tend to be fairly liberal and so do the populations of the local town surrounding them, so even though NC might be a conservative state, it's not surprising in the least that the RDU area would be more liberal than the rest of the state.
BYU and Notre Dame would be pretty obvious exceptions though.
Of course college campuses are liberal.
Intellectual life is by definition liberal.
Let me put it another way: which place hosted more lynchings, enforced more Jim Crow laws, harbors more avowed racists?
North Carolina beat Kentucky out, I think.
Besides, Kentucky has bourbon. And it's right next to Ohio, which was FREELAND to slaves.
NC is just hateville.
eric rudolph chose north carolina
North Carolina has more brothers and sisters in one county than Kentucky has in the entire state. Picking NC over Kentucky as some sort of racial statement is retarded beyond even being worth discussing.
Stick with the bourbon argument.
North Carolina, especially in the western part of the state, is farging gorgeous and the people are as friendly as can be. And the Outer Banks are spectacular too.
i dont know if the amount of black people has much to do with it...mississippi has lots of blacks and it doesnt get much more racist than there and texas has tons of blacks and is as conservative as you can get
that said i cant imagine nc being more racist or conservative than kentucky...altho i will say for the last three years ive gone to nags head and heard like 5-10 n bombs dropped in bars in the week i stay there which is more than i hear the rest of the year combined in all the places i go...me and my girl are just dumbfounded by it

I think you missed the point
I do experience book inspired dreams from time to time.
But I have no idea what the hell was going on last night...I dreamt that I went for a walk and ended up watching movies with a group of christian kids who were living in this complex of nice apartment buildings for free. All the girls were hyper-sexualized--squirming in their pants--but ultimately chaste. The two guys I hung out with seemed to be normal, but one of them had a big bible hanging on his wall that had handwriting on the front which said "there is no love without Jesus." Somehow, I ended up helping them caulk out some windows which were allowing air into the house, and eventually, my wife and I left.
I think we need a dreams thread.
Chuggie, help a stillupfront's mom out.
You wouldn't have these farged up dreams if you fell asleep to the soft, ambient glow of a television in your bedroom.

Got a barnburner down at Reliant tonight, folks!
22-19 at the half.
John Clayton made a funny on the radio on Friday. He said when Butler and VCU take the floor, it will be the first time Reliant Stadium has ever had defense played in it.
Very sloppy game so far and if the 2nd half remains the same, it definitely favors Butler. They've got GRIT.
yea the nba sucks
Wow - what awful offense.
but what great gritty defense! and what pageantry! these kids never stop hustling! and tomorrow theyll go to class!!
18.8% FG shooting :boo
Wow, just a horrible shooting night. Butler had plenty of open looks and I don't know how many balls that went half way down and popped back out. I feel for the Butler kids. Not so much because they lost (although I was rooting for them) but because they played so poorly. That will eat at them for quite some time.
Holy farging hell, this song they are playing to close it out is absolutely terrible. Sounds like some corny inspirational music they play in megachurches.
One Shining Moment?
That's tradition, man.
Really? That's farging AWFUL. This is the first time I've left it on the same channel after the game. Usually I either change channels or turn off the tv. I had gotten up and was in the kitchen cleaning up from dinner and I heard it and was like "WTF is that shtein?" Terrible tradition. Do away with it.
wow. no.
theyve been playing that song for as long as i can remember. last year they did some awful one by jennifer hudson and everyone hated it. luther is king for a reason.
you are literally the first person ive ever heard not liking that. the first. you suck.
I don't know what they did after the last yeargame because I didn't watch any post game.....same as every other post game for the last 20 or so years that I've been watching this. I'll be sure to resume my tradition of not watching again next year. My tradition >>>>>>>>> the tradition of playing that song.

Gary Williams says adios.
im pretty sure he was told it was his time to move on
I think it had to do with Jordan Williams not coming back as well.
he definitely wasnt told to go...he was untouchable.......debbie yow has tried to get rid of him for ten years and was rebuffed every time by the school...theres certain coaches at certain schools who dont get fired/asked to leave...gary is one of them

Quote from: ice grillin you on May 05, 2011, 05:51:31 PM

I completely disagree with this. Williams is one of the most overrated coaches in the country and the only reason people feel the way you do is because Maryland plays in the ACC and every now and then they beat a #1 team.
In 22 seasons, Williams won 1 championship - the only finals appearance he ever made. Nolan Richardson won more than him. Worse than that, he only made 7 sweet 16 appearances in his 22 seasons and hasn't seen the round of 16 since Juan Dixon won him his only title - that doesn't exactly scream untouchable to me.
nolan richards cheated....gary to his own fault and because he was taking over a program coming off what was essentially the death penalty refused to cheat and then he refused to move forward with the times and would not associate himself with aau reps which really hurt his recruiting
gary williams is one of the best game coaches of all time and won an insane amount of games with less talent than most other big programs...and this is in the best conference in the country over the last 25 years...hes a lock hall of famer and to compare him to nolan richardson is embarrassing
all that aside all i was saying was that he was untouchable at maryland...he was a beloved alumnist who took his alma mater out of the dark ages and got them their only national championship...he was never getting fired or forced out there
I wasnt comparing his body of work to richardsons, just saying they each won the same amount of titles - and nolan took his teams to more final fours.
Why would you give him a free pass for not going after recruits through the aau/adidas camps scene? If he chose against making his program better by refusing to go after guys "unconventionally", thats his fault and something that would be unforgivable if I were a bigtime Terrapin bball fan.
I just dont see how he can be considered untouchable. Since they won their title in 02', UNC has won 2, and Duke 1. In that same time, Maryland has only seen the sweet 16 once, and missed out on dancing 4 times. I dont care if he's an alum or not, built a the program the right way, whatever - he was at his expiration date and the program will be much better off for it.
he was untouchable for the reasons i mentioned....took over after the bob wade scandal when the job was coaching ebola won a national championship at a place where it was never thought of was a money making machine...also you and i think its dumb not to cheat but lots of educators and fans think its honorable and because of that he was beloved by many in the terp community...especially rich elders and that brings up maybe the biggest reason he was never getting run out....the amount of big money doners he attracted will never be matched at the school again...
he literally is a GOD there and will have the court named after him soon...there are certain coaches who will never ever ben fired or forced out and he was on that short list
winning > all.
yeah at kentucky it is.....most sane programs have a different standard and realistic expectations and will keep as long as they can hall of fame coaches

Now you're just being cruel, lumping Wake in with Hall and Miami. Since 2000, Wake has averaged the 9th best recruiting class in the country. The problem hasn't been getting the players (it will become the problem now with Bzdelik), but doing anything with them. 0 trips beyond the Sweet 16 that entire time. :poison
