tourney time! <pops huge boner>
memphis losing to cs-northridge with 12 min. left.
down by 6 with 10 left.
1 with 8 left
i dont no why they give you all the games on the internet for free and make you pay on tv, but its all good
because people who were alive when there wasnt an internet would rather kill themselves than watch a sporting event on a laptop
how else do i watch the memphis game when cbs has lsu butler on?
CBS here still has the A&M thumping on. They switched to the Butler game, but as soon as the dude hit a three to make it 72-69, they switched back. Now they go back to Butler and its 74-71 and LSU going to the line with 4.5 left
buy an iphone. i get every game streamed live to my phone.
Butler is out.
Memphis has pulled away and Andy Reid U. is going down hard.

watching sports on a 55 inch hi def > watching sports on a laptop
no $ > $
only stubborn white people will choose the $ option. asians dont like bball, hispanics dont own tvs and the brothas aint come across a money saving deal they never liked. so its all old white people who refuse to accept the internet a legit form of entertainment.
if i had a hd and a dish it would be a no brainer but otherwise its a giant waste of money
Yeah, brothers don't like to represent with a flat screen. Great point.
do you raid their houses after a klan meeting or something?
I'm just pointing out that your racist comment was also patently misguided. Back to basketball, sports "writer."
aint no racism i love my brothas and sistas, its all with love.

sports is my life....no way in hell im watching a game on a computer even if its free over a game on a tv...you grew up with computers so you dont know any different as your whole life is spent on a dell
in fact this year im paying $300 for the mlb package on tv rather than $99 for it on my computer because i cant stand watching games on the computer
i will say the one advantage of the computer is you can take your sports package with you...but i dont travel enough to warrant getting it...plus theres a massive delay when watching online so now when my buddy sun mo im's me flipping out about a move charlie made it wont spoil anything for me
mlb package is 179 i believe, im prob gettin that too
and i remember growin up and callin the inqy desk in the morning to get a phils score since there was no internet. im young but not that young.
wtf....Nova down 10 at halftime
Whew! Nova finally pulls ahead...up by 3 now....and now 5...I'm stuck watching the UT blowout.

Make sure not to look both ways to cross the street.
the hotel im at is like a block from where the stallworth thing went down.
also im never coming back to philly
those whities from ND State are hangin with kansas.
Didn't Lamar Gordon go to ND State? Or was that SD State?
The Utah State whitey's are making a game of it against marquette.
im not watching it now since im at work but everytime i saw kansas this year i always lol'ed at tyrel reed being white
for some reason my cbs video player won't play...farg
Goddamn Utah State.
I was so close on them and VCU on the upsets.
Yeah Utah St. would have been a pretty sweet upset for me too.
me three
Clemson farged me, but they are my only loss so far that I had in the Sweet Sixteen.
it appears to be big ten night in the tournament...i literally have been shaking at the thought of going out tonight smashing some beers and watching some basketball and they put all these dregs on at the same time
I was supposed to be working from home today....but I got called in. farg!
But its all good...I am about to go downstairs and flip the TV on; I've been following on-line.
Come on Dayton!
I'm gonna go our and get trashed tonight and watch the games.
im going back to my plan A which was just to stay in and get the flyer sixer double header tonight...gotta love a 10:30 start for golden state game sixers till like 1am
farg the big ten
tomorrow is gonna be huge with a nova/md 1pm 3pm double header...def gonna go out for that
well that was fun while it lasted
Dayton in the house!
A few people had WVU going to the Elite 8/Sweet Sixteen
Yeah, that would be me, and shtein.
Bob Huggins already fulfilled his one Sweet 16 appearance last year. He won't get back there for another 5 or 6 years now...
this siena game salvaged what has been a horrible tournament so far....what a great show
absolutely true
also someone died at american airlines arena during zona/utah warmups. i was downstairs filing at that point so hey cool death.

The last two games tonight were awesome. The Siena/OSU game was off the charts.
Nova gets the 10pm Thursday game. Eskin is already picking Duke to win...
The amazing Bill Raftery is calling the game.
god Pitt looks atrocious going into the half
Pitt has made a run...finally. But them playing like shtein is not a shocker...they did the same thing last week too.
And I have to watch the goddamn Nova game on the CBS.com because they are showing Memphis-Mizzou here. I wanted to watch Duke get pimped in HD. >:(
Might be the beer talking but I have a good feeling about this game:

main line can go suck a fleshpop nova IS NOT a philly school but it be nice if they beat duke
"T for Temple U"
T for Temple U
Un-i-ver-sity!
Fight! Fight! Fight! For the cherry and the white;
For the cherry and the white we'll fight, fight, fight!
(repeat)
"Fight! Temple Fight!"
Fight! Temple, fight on!
Fight with all your might!
Fight for the Cherry and White,

Roll that ball and hit the line,
All the Temple stars will shine,
Skill and courage win the game
Fight on, Temple, fight!

Obviously not. Not, enough, commas.
Mizzou is workin Memphis over right now. Holy shtein.
And how about CBS switches games so I can stop watching Nova-Duke on a laptop....
awesome job by Nova. Duke was total ish
could have 5 of the Elite 8 coming from the Big East...
Nova beat dat ass in the second half. They were ballin'. Good to see Duke and Rat Face go down.
Mizzou almost blew that shtein. Nice choke job, Memphis.
Kyle Singler makes me hate Duke that much more, i hate people who look like him. Goofy ass white boy with goofy ass hair. He's a perfect example of everything i hate about Duke
He's Skeletor.
That game was awesome. Keep going Nova.
i have no problems with singler, dude can ball. the person who should be run over though, is jon scheyer. farg that guy.
Singler is a very good player. I don't think there are many more on that team, but Singler's got game.
He's still Skeletor though.

Agreed.
farg Scheyer, Singler and that huge-nosed bastich, Coach K. farg Duke and everything about them. It was a beautiful thing watching them catch that beatdown.
On the other hand, Memphis make Feva bracket go BOOM!
i'm in a very good position to win the last place prize (out of 25) in one of my pools. if pitt loses to nova i'm pretty sure i'll wrap it up.
Ty Lawson is a combo of wee bey and avon barkadale
barkadale be chillin in the barkalounga
ku got knocked out by mich st. :(
but nova's still in it. :D
farg KANSAS NOW IM fargED THOSE STUPID WHITE BOYS FROM THE PRARIE
I was worried that MSU was gonna shtein the bed...and they almost did.
i wish they would have.
now the best i can do is tie for 3rd. fargiong phreak you homo
:-D
There's one scenario where me and my girl finish 1-2. That would be cool.
Ha, farg Pitt
Final 4 motherfargers.
Incredible game from Nova. What an ending.
Just an incredible game overall
Hell of a game. Go Nova.
That game is a perfect example of why college basketball is roughly 10 trillion times better than the NBA.

Did anyone poop a little when that last Pitt shot came too close for comfort at the end of the game after the refs out 0.5 seconds on the clock?
lol the nova bandwagon might be worse than smarty jones
I was at a place in the Memorial City Mall called Becks and it was loaded with people rooting for Pitt, so it was fun. What an ending. I couldn't believe they almost blew it. As soon as dude launched that full court bomb I cringed. ANd when Fields cranked up his 3, I thought for sure it was going in. Great game to watch. Can they beat NC? I picked them to lose, but I can't root for a loss.

this
nova cost me $ too
the best i can do in the pool is a 3 way tie for 3rd. i think i can still win my other pool but the payout is like $50 or something.
this nova love fest is going to be unbearable. go rich douches from the main line.
i mean i want nova to win and its a cool story...but this thread is a mini version of how philly is now...people who dont even know what a college basketball is slurping nova...for god sakes even dio chimed in
it wont be as bad as st joe 2004
that might have been the worst bandwagon story in philly sports history, and im even saying that because i despise everything and anything about that shteinhole of a school. for two weeks the entire town was taken over by some gay as hawk and an awful person like phil martelli. it was beyond unbearable.
but i guess good for you for the 0 people here who watched nova on a regular basis and a big farg you to everyone who started paying attention two days ago.
st joe wagon gets a pass for two reasons....one they are a mid major so it really was a great story...secondly and most importantly it was pre phillies world series...so the city get a pass for scrapping for a title anywhere they can...this year six months away from the fightins winning the WS there is no excuse for anyone to jump on nova unless you went there
they are not really a mid major. money wise they spend about as much on bball as temple and dayton and the like in the a10, which is between being a mid major and a bcs conference. they like selling themselves as a little school and yes they play in a high school gym and have use the palestra all the time, but no, they are not on the same level as schools you might be familiar with like american and george mason.
but yes the desperation for a title thing is valid, this town was shot until the phils got it done. and yes, anyone jumping on the nova bandwagon (already several examples of this here) needs to step off. obviously fine to root for them but you can hand in your philly sports fan card if you go out and a buy a t-shirt and start gettin die-hard. did any of you know who corey fisher was before the duke game? come on.
ummmm temple and dayton are mid majors also....lol at thinking they arent

I watched the game
I hate Pitt (they beat UCONN twice, the bastiches...and I live in Baltimore so Pitt is the devil...and I love the Eagles so farg Pittsburgh)
Brian Westbrook went to Villanova, and he is a football god, so I like Nova
It's a Philly school so I like them
I guess I'm a bandwagon fan, and that's fine with me.

No one cares how you did in your pool. Seriously, it's like hearing someone tell me about their fantasy football team. Why the farg should I care? I shouldn't.
I care deeply about Todd's wagering.
You'll be happy to know that I am likely going win the CF/Havas bracket.
As for the Nova thing...who is exactly swingin' from their nuts? It was a great game to watch...and for me, I don't have any college ties to the city schools, so I will root for any city team. Will I go out and buy a hat/shirt? No. But I will root for them.
And the St. Joe's thing in 2004 was crazy. I rooted...and I liked watching West/Nelson...but turning on WIP/CSN got sickening. Neil Hartmann's jock-sniffing and every caller on IP signing off with "the hawk will never die" was nauseating.
all i know is i heard no nova talk all season
but thats cool...it is what it is...bandwagons rock...when does the final four game thread start?
I had't watched ten minutes of men's college basketball until yesterday. Much like the NBA, I don't bother until the tournament/playoffs.
If you like basketball it is hard not to like the way Nova plays. I would definitely like to see them win it all, juts because they are a Philly team. That game lastnight was as good as it gets.
Was anyone in the city last night? Any celebrations go down?
My brother in law and his girl were on KYW3 last night, they are famous
I don't really give a shtein who wins, but I have some friends that are Nova grads, and they aren't total iceholes. So, go Nova.
Quote from: ice grillin you on March 29, 2009, 04:31:23 AM
ummmm temple and dayton are mid majors also....lol at thinking they arent
no sir
the amount of money both those teams spent far and away exceeds actual mid majors and comes close to middle of the pack teams in major conferences. this decade the a-10 has had 1 or 2 seasons where they dont have multiple tourney bids. certainly not even close to a power conference, but above a mid major. they were in the same boat as cusa until it became memphis and crap. the mountain west is basically in the same position.
theres only so many schools who are in that field, so they all get lumped into the mid-major term. its not quite right. xavier, gonzaga, memphis, etc. have proven themselves to be above that.
Quote from: Diomedes on March 29, 2009, 11:27:59 AMI don't bother until the tournament/playoffs.
Same here. One of my co-workers is a Nova alum but otherwise I have no ties to any of the local teams. If PSU was in the tourney I would've rooted for them too...
I have season tickets to Nova and was in Boston last night. What an amazing game. My dad went to Nova and I grew up rooting for them. I wish the school that I actually ended up going to played with near the amount of energy Nova does.
Louisville is pissing me off...these fargs can't get to the hoop and are settling for low percentage jumpers that won't go down. Poor shot selection. MSU is killin it...they can't miss.
Need a Cards rally here.
louisville givin up. some pos big 10 team in the final 4. wow.
Goodbye Cards....
It doesn't hurt too much fr me in the pick 'em...I just ran the generator and I think the only way I don't win is if Oklahoma wins it all.

You didn't hear about me banging Jessica Alba all year either. Doesn't mean it wasn't goin' on, stillupfront's mom.
i've always rooted for all the philly teams. don't really prefer any one over the others. nova, temple, st joe, la salle, even drexel. whenever any of those schools do well, i'm happy for them and root for them.
Me too, its not bandwagon if you always root for the local...........Hey, fargin Sarge is back!

Well, at least Nova did better than almost fourth place.
So, I really haven't been paying attention...how did Temple do this year?
they made the tournament, unlike Penn State
SunMo likes Penn State, but he likes beating down Cerevant's chubby for busting on Temple more.
I learned something today.
learn something else
sunmo likes penn state football
i just dislike cerevant more than my like for anything
It's weird how Philly teams have now entered the "final four" in three straight successive sports tournaments. First the Phils, then the Eagles and now Nova.
Dont forget the Flyers
don't forget the soul
Philly be on a rampage, son.
The Sixers will break the streak.
I totally forgot about the Flyers.
Yikes.
isnt there a lacrosse team that wins the championship every year
the wings?
sure
I hate Hannah Storm. Just thought I'd mention it since I'm hope from work watching Sportscenter today.
how skinny has she gotten
did you see her making lovey dovey with her husband earlier in the show
That's exactly what I was talking about. Dan Hicks is annoying enough but his making baby talk with that slut might be the worst thing I've ever witnessed.
it did make me really mad
there is something really sexy about her when she wears the skirts with high boots though
some random columnist from newsday things temple should be in the big 10:
http://weblogs.newsday.com/sports/football/ncaa_blog/2009/03/two_things_the_big_ten_needs.html
ummm wouldnt that be a downgrade in bball? it would be good for football, just simply playing osu, psu, michigan on a regular basis >>>>>>>> anything that has to do with the mac, including winning it.
yeah, recruiting against all those teams in football would be fantastic
oh yea, they would be worse than northwestern
but that would be better than what they got now.

The worst BigTen team >>>>>>>> George Washington / St. Bonaventure / Fordham
well no shtein about that
im talkin id rather be a top tier a10 team than a middle of the pack big 10 team, which is what temple would be should this fantasy scenario come to life. the more logicial rumor of a football/non-football big east split would be more appealing.
the Big Ten wants no part of Temple football...they couldn't even hang in the horrible Big East, how are they going to hang in a good football conference. They are waiting for Notre Dame to finally cave.
ND will never cave so long as they can get their own tv contract. when that well dries up (it will at some point), then theyll go.
and this is a made up scenario. the writer has no sources, he just made this shtein up out of thin air. doesnt the big 10 need a good team, not another doormat?
Pittsburgh would be a much better fit for both sports
