Re: College Basketball 2008-2009

someone want to tell Purdue that the game started? Nearly 5 minutes in and they haven't scored a point yet

[Derwood]

there's a basket. cut it to 17-2, PSU. Too bad there's like 12 people at this game

unfortunately there's still plenty of time for psu to blow it.

 

they don't draw that well normally, and with most of the students not back and in the midst of an ice storm, i'm not surprised that attendance is really bad.

ah, didn't realize school hadn't started yet. that would explain it.

i like how they have ed dechellis holding a clipboard with the nittany lion logo on it during the commercial with the various coaches. i guess they (rightly) assumed that nobody would know who the hell he was.

I didn't know who about 3 of the football coaches were during the football recruiting commercial.

[Derwood]

did this announcer seriously just quote Stuart Smally?

[TruffleShuffle]

i like how gene keady will start openly rooting for purdue, then catches himself and starts being neutral again. i can't say i blame him, he was there for 25 years.

[Derwood]

Boilers cut it to 8 at the half, but looked like crap doing it

[Smack]

Purdue sure knows how to start the Big Ten season in style.

[Derwood]

and.....Penn State coughs up the 15 point lead. well done

[Derwood]

this PSU/Purdue has turned into a bit of a cripple fight down the stretch here. Purdue can't hit a lay up and PSU can't make free throws

[bhogg]

The Big 12 must suck ass. The "experts" picked Arkansas to finish dead last in the SEC West. The hogs beat Oklahoma and are giving Texas a helluva game.

[Derwood]

big win for PSU. suck it, Sagarin

[Sosa21MVP]

woo Purdue! \:D/

[Warpticon]

AGAIN! How about getting 2 points off the bench and beating the #7 team in the country? How about ANOTHER huge game against a top 10 team from Michael Washington? How about 5-11 Courtney Fortson getting 11 boards against a team with four guys 6-10 and up? Thanks for finally noticing Mike, Rivals.com. unranked to 12 among centers is a pretty nice jump. How much will he jump this week?

Seriously, screw you, Texas.

:lol: What's that ab--oh, they played UCLA.

Actually Arkansas might be the only good team in the SEC. Outside of Arkansas, who is worthy of a ranking in the SEC right now? Tennessee? They were just beaten by Kansas.

 

That said, the Big XII isn't that good at basketball this season.

[Warpticon]

I can't believe this is the same team that lost to Missouri State. But then, I was looking over some of the top 25, and there are a lot of weird losses in that bunch.

 

Assuming they beat Mississippi State on Saturday, where do you think they'll end up ranked?

maybe the experts are just idiots

[Hosak8]

Two minutes here should convince you of this. Every expert in every field is far dumber than the collective intelligence represented at NSBB.

 

Especially in math. All those other experts are just Salieri.

I will laugh when Purdue doesn't make the tournament. What a pathetic disgrace.

[rchap24]

We were playing with out Hummel and Kramer, but regardless we still should have won that game and yes it would be horribly pathetic if we don't make it

They're 2-4 against competitive teams. I'm guessing on a 9-9 Big Ten record after watching these first two conference games. 10-8 maybe, 11-7 would thrill me.
