Re: 2009 NCAA Tournament thread

It only 'got off easy' because there really wasn't any debate. SEC fans agreed that their conference wasn't very good so unlike the Big Ten the debate wasn't a holy war.

and since we had a good conference we took issue with it, why is this so hard for you to understand?

I'm explaining why the SEC wasn't talked about for its weaknesses. And it was because that wasn't a point anyone was debating, so it wasn't brought up as much. Why so hard for YOU to understand?

So why were we debating how weak the Big Ten was when we had the second best conference rpi all year? Oh, I know because we had the audacity to start our own network. That's right.

And when Notre Dame football got its own network deal, we started getting the same treatment. You act like I have no idea what it's like to be treated irrationally by ESPN and company.

and I'm sure that doesn't piss you off at all.

Well, I haven't had an opportunity to rub it in their faces lately, thanks to Davweisinghamie.

 

FTR, Illinois won exactly two games under 60 points this year.

Michigan State has one conference title the last, I think, 8 years. They are not head and shoulders above everyone else.

 

i wasn't talking about the past 8 years, i was talking about this year. the pissing match about whose conference is better than whose is based on this year's results; michigan st was easily the best team in the conference this year.

oh, then I agree. Although a healthy Hummel and it is close. He's the best player ever.

Sorry to hear that man. This market sucks for all of us. :(

Get used to that sight of Hansbrough shooting freebies, since you'll probably spend the better part of the next two hours watching it.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

It was nice for the officials to wait 6 seconds before the first bogus call in Hansbrough's favor.

Heh hey Its rough rooting for UNC but 50 bucks is 50 bucks.

 

About the bad news thanks, it sucks, but right now Im looking at it as a little vacation, but boredom is going to kill me I think.

Yea working in the manufacturing business with Caterpillar, and the automotive industry as your biggest customers is not a good combination right now.

Yea if Nova isnt careful, this could be over by halftime

[snoodmonger]

UNC is just working Nova.

Allowing UNC to be on a pace to score 55-60 points in the first half isn't a good formula for a victory.

It is for UNC!

 

Guh, what a dull game.

[illiniguy]

I thought UNC was the best team all year. I hope MSU can suprise em though.

It is if you can hold them to 10 in the second half.

Agreed. Robbie Hummel would beat MSU playing 1 on 5 if he was healthy.

I watched the women's NIT championship today. I didn't realize the ladies had a 30 second shot clock. I think the men should switch to that, too.
