I believe the Big Dance warrants its own thread rather than relegating it to the already lengthy general college basketball thread. I'm going to the Friday/Sunday games in Raleigh. I already had my ticket for quite some time, and it turned out to be a stroke of luck that my favorite team, Indiana, got sent to Raleigh. Unfortunately I don't think they're stay is going to be very long. The way they've been playing lately I'm not sure they'll even beat Arkansas, and if somehow they do they'll get destroyed by UNC in the second round.

Bump for Selection Sunday.

Dateline 2060: The Roberts trade is complete, but it won't be announced for a few days. Can't let it interfere with Roberts' funeral. -
Maxim's biggest fantasy baseball busts ever
NCCubFan replied to OleMissCub's topic in Fantasy Sports
Fantasy Bust #1 was my first round pick that year. :x -
i don't think they realized the true scope of the damage until after the alabama-msu game, and then even further the more the night went on. there was no point in letting everyone outside, especially with more severe weather on the way. it's basically a war zone in that area. i don't like the decision as a UK fan, but i don't see what else they could do given the circumstances. I also understand that the issue wasn't just the condition of the arena, but that there was another round of severe weather on the way and they wanted to get people out before it hit. And I really think Kentucky is in the NCAA anyway if they beat Georgia, so it is Georgia that would be hurt more should they win. They'd have to win the tournament to make the NCAA, but based on the conference season I don't think Kentucky does.
-
Then this should be a wake up call to all Conferences, when scheduling your conference tournament, make sure you leave enough yourself an open date for case like what just happen tonight. Really? They should all change their schedules to leave an open date in case something like this happens once every 35 years? Come on. Even if conferences wanted to, their ultimate bosses (television) would never permit it. Zero percent chance they'd give up Sunday afternoon conference championships leading up to the selection.

I agree, but I don't know what the alternative is. The SEC is required to complete the tournament on time for the NCAA selection or they'd lose their automatic bid. They really should have waited out the storm and played last night IMO. Fans who traveled to Atlanta will also be rightfully angry. With the move to a smaller venue only players' families, press, etc. will be allowed to attend. Undoubtedly the fans not allowed to attend will get a refund, but unless that also includes reimbursement for travel and lodging costs that turned out to be wasted they'd have a legitimate gripe. The whole situation sucks.

Micah Owings begs to differ.

The latest on the SEC tournament. The remainder of the tournament has been moved to Georgia Tech because of the damage to the Georgia Dome. The Georgia-Kentucky game will be played at noon today, with the winner playing again tonight against Mississippi State (following the conclusion of Tennessee-Arkansas). If I were Mississippi State I'd be licking my chops right about now, knowing I'd be playing a fatigued team.
-
I don't think the SEC would have the right to do that without NCAA approval (which maybe they already got). A conference doesn't have the power to grant itself a second automatic bid; only the NCAA itself would have that power.

He's the right age for the Giants. :D
-
Not true. They're sure to win again next year.
-
I see Dishmans are also left off.
-
So apparently I'm forecast for zero points. At least that would give me plenty of flexibility to take on points in postseason trades. :D

Richard Justice Baseball's best-ever commish: Bud Selig

Now it is. -
Ball State's pathetic season is mercifully put to sleep by Eastern Michigan, 59-55.
-
I hope so; he's the catcher on one of my fantasy teams.
-
Let's hope so. I'll even take Pie is going to be a SOLID player! He'll be solid and then progress to fantastic. I have confidence in Pie producing. The key is playing time and this year is the year for him to get that. Meph disagrees. :mrgreen: who's Meph? oh, right, the nsbblol blogger... Really? Yes, really.
-
That's my interpretation.

Zell will consider selling naming rights to Wrigley Field
NCCubFan replied to BleedCubbieBlue81's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
That doesn't go nearl far enough. Somebody needs to take out a contract on him if that's what it takes to keep Cubs games on WGN Superstation. -
Yet you posted in this thread instead.

He's even more a North Carolina guy, born in Durham and completing his college baseball career at UNC after transferring from USC. You are actually wrong there. You have it flip-flopped. His dad was the head coach at UNC when he was playing there, then his dad got fired. So he transfered from UNC to USC, where he graduated. He did play more years at North Carolina then he did at South Carolina, but he graduated (well, don't know if he graduated) but he finished his career before going to the minors at South Carolina. Ah. Baseball Reference had his schools listed as South Carolina and North Carolina, in that order, so I assumed that was the order he played at the schools. But apparently the listing is most recent to earliest.

Eyre, Gallagher and Spears travel cross country in RV to ST
NCCubFan replied to Brian's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
When I first read the title of the thread I wondered what Eyre and Gallagher were doing with Britney. :D -
Um, no. Jack Brickhouse, Harry Caray, Vince Lloyd, and Pat Hughes are/were better. I liked Stoney, but best ever? Not even in the same ballpark.

That's what they were saying about Prior last spring.
