    an OU WR (Manny Johnson) did something similar 2 seasons ago, but it was a clean disloaction, so they popped it in, put him in a brace and he was back in like 5 weeks.

    i saw a .gif on twitter about 8 seconds after it happened. grisly.

    is there any way that 90 percent of america doesn't root for butler over duke? it's the ultimate david vs. goliath (well not ultimate but close)

    cbs guys are shaking in fear right now of a WVU-Butler title game. luckily for them so are the refs

    thank you that's one, who else is with me

    Hey, you were the one talking basketball smack to a KU fan when your team paid Tiny Gallon to help lead them to a 14-18 record. hahahaha, are your feelings really this hurt? hopefully the jayhawks football team lucks into another lucky couple of years sometime in the next 3 decades to soothe your pain (ps. the money was from some idiot in florida, and I think all the money went to the buffet line)

    hahahaha there's no way a kansas football fan is trying to talk football smack

    you won't be saying that when 17-14 Boston College makes the 2011 tourney. THE HORROR. i just shuddered while i imagined that horrifying possibility. Why even watch the games if the 7th best team from a major conference can make the tournament. WHY EVEN LET THIS SPORT EXIST. just cancel college basketball, invite 96 teams to the tourney in march and lets all go chill with kyle in BF, North Dakota for 3 months and watch cricket in the meantime.

    Wow, that was about 1,000 times better than I expected.

    i'll tell you one thing, if they expand the tournament field i just can't see myself giving an S about the regular season one bit. CAN YOU SAY WATERED DOWN? who cares about recruiting, there's gonna be 96 teams in the tournament, NOTHING MATTERS ANYMORE.

    what is there to be pissed about? Someone make a compelling point about why a mediocre UNC team getting to play one game in an expanded NCAA field instead of going to the NIT is a bad thing? At the most extreme it's just completely neutral and not worth this lame outrage that it's getting. It boils down to people being upset for a little bit, getting used to it and then in a few years when everyone has accepted it, more money and exposure for NCAA basketball. OH GOD BUT WE MUST KEEP 16-15 WAKE FOREST POLY TECH OUT OF THE TOURNAMENT, IT'S A SHAM.

    Now that's a stupid thing to say. Of course every game has participants who want to win. Everybody wants to win every game (except the Colts), but the fact is it doesn't freaking matter if you lose a bunch of games because you'll get in anyway. Even if you're upset about the losses, it doesn't mean that it matters. oh no they'll be in the tournament, what a disgrace. i didnt watch john wooden win a million games in a row so that vermont st. could get in with only 18 wins! uhhh, who gives a [expletive]? While I'm ok with the expansion, I will say that I'm afraid it's not going to be Vermont St in there, but instead the 8th or 9th place team from the Big Ten. So? would it be an absolute shame if illinois made the tournament (cheapshot) Seriously though, Miss. St. took Kentucky to OT in the SEC tournament this year and missed the field of 64. Under this scenario, they're in. WHAT A DISGRACE. What does it matter to you if the 8th-best big 10 team makes it to the expanded ncaa instead of the nit? It's just more basketball to watch. This is something that people will complain about so they can keep their sports maaaaaaniaaaaac card and then in 2 years the complaints will fade away and everyone will agree that it was awesome and like usual i can revel in being right all along.

    They already get to do that in the NIT maybe that matters to illinois, im talking about teams that play hard

    "It waters down the tournament!" This is the most annoying aspect of maaaaaaniaaac sports fans. It's hilarious picturing someone sitting on their couch eating chicken wings, unable to play probably 10 minutes of organized basketball, all huffy because a team full of hardworking 20 year olds gets to celebrate their season with an extra game in front of a national audience.

    it's not going to make the regular season meaningless, what a stupid thing to say. Maybe it's meaningless if you consider just making it to a 96-team tournament your goal, but no one does that. Do you really think UCLA is going to say "well, we went 16-15, but we're an 14-seed in the tourney, let's crack open the champagne!" Of course not.

    This. Honestly, I still think Samardzjia is gonna end up leaving baseball and pursuing a football career. too late for that. he's tied to baseball at this point.

    I think totally rejiggering the schedule so that teams basically have to play every other day on the road to the Final Four is a horrible departure from the current format. Especially when doing so is purely the result of an effort to let a bunch of weak-ass teams in the tournament. And you haven't really made a compelling argument in favor of it the new format, either. it rules
  22. imb
    maybe i've just always looked at winning a game in the tourney as an accomplishment instead of just making it. Probably because of how underachieving all the early kelvin sampson years were where you could bank on the 12 seed to beat us. i still haven't heard a good argument against this other than the usual complaining about anything that's not what we're used to.
  23. imb
    yeah, that shirt is awesome and i would definitely wear it
  24. imb
    i don't understand why you don't like it enough to whine about it if it doesn't affect you negatively at all.

    There are only 12, and 6 seeds from a conference have won the Super Bowl. No one seeded in the bottom half of a 64-team NCAA bracket has won the tournament, or even made the final, and only 2 teams in the bottom half have made the Final Four. so what's the problem? if you're not worried about these teams actually ruining your bracket and winning, that just means it's more basketball to watch or bet on or not. i don't see how this impacts anyone's life negatively.
