  1. That won't fly. You know STL is the only team allowed to accuse an opponent of cheating.
  2. http://www.nancylankston.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Jack-Black-in-Nacho-Libre.jpg
  3. Even if Wisconsin was going to play like this anyway, I'm going to tell myself that Brey gave them the blueprint to beat Kentucky to make myself feel better.
  4. Tom Izzo sold his soul to the devil. That and they were in by far the worst regional. I still expect them to play an excellent game against Duke, though.
  5. Like pretty much everything said in there. I could really do without walk-up music, but that's not a video board complaint.
  6. Making a last-second change to my team (see above): Cano instead of Rosario.
  7. I'm pretty sure they are putting lights on it.
  8. Whenever I'm in the bleachers I basically sit directly under where the board is. That'll be a different experience.
  9. The Cubs get more media attention than the White Sox whenever they are good, Rodon was drafted last year while Bryant was crushing everything, and Rodon hasn't video-game destroyed spring training like Bryant has. I don't think it's strictly a batter/pitcher issue.
  10. What happens to the media and behind closed doors may be very different. This is a players' union solidarity issue. Arrieta just Tweeted a joke earlier today about bro-hugging Bryant and gaining opposite-field pop. It's just Twitter, granted, but that's probably not something you do unless you like the guy.
  11. Don't forget that Starlin Castro is lazy and has concentration issues.
  12. Multiple reports saying Tennessee is about to hire Rick Barnes.
  13. Pretty wild given that the Final Four (semifinal games) was on TBS last year. That said I expect that record to be broken this weekend because both games, particularly Wisconsin/UK, should be quite fun.
  14. There is absolutely no reason to be more interested in the minors. Bryant is a MLB player who has to take a quick detour because of CBA reasons and the rest of the MLB team is very much worth being interested in now.
  15. Nothing he could do in the minors would 'make me excited about him' unless he turned into Sylvester Coddmyer III and hit a home run every time up. I put it in quotes because I'm not totally throwing in the towel on Baez, but he's going to have to hit in the majors to get me fired up again. Also, good call early ITT, David and TT, about Alcantara. I must have just had him in the OF mentally because he didn't pop to mind.
  16. So La Stella at second and Olt at third for a few weeks I guess? Does this at all affect whether Bryant plays 3B or LF when he comes up, if Javy isn't back yet?
  17. Wisconsin is probably the last good chance to beat Kentucky. Don't think Duke matches up very well with them.
  18. Wanted that one so bad. Especially for Grant and Connaughton, each of whom came back when they had reasons not to. ND will continue to be consistently good, but I don't know if they'll ever get a group like that one again.
  19. You can learn to like it.
  20. Panthers mine as always.
  21. There's a book where some guy goes and sits in the bleachers for the whole 1987 season just called Bleachers. I don't remember loving it, but I was also an infant during that season, so a lot of the references were lost on me. There were some pretty good Andre Dawson stories though IIRC.
  22. Supposedly a mutual parting of the ways, but weren't they just working on an extension? I could've sworn I saw that on the ESPN ticker.
  23. I mean, I don't love Duke's title chances, but it seems pretty silly to throw them out. I enjoy watching Louisville and MSU, so I'm looking forward to both of those games.
  24. BRB getting sloppy happy drunk for the next 2 days
