I love that I know longer care about this argument. The results are almost preposterous these last 25- 30 years. A couple championships ago I might have felt defensive and gotten riled up. At this point I feel like anyone who raises the question is like one of those reporters from Croatia...
Do you live in Georgia? I had to change a tire on the side of the freeway and there were dozens of those tea bottles thrown aside. I had to just about log roll across those things to get the tire done.
My Dad and I were secondary market all week. 20 a game until finals. Lower level. We got on TV for that shot. Other than final game we had 2-3 empty seats around us. Town felt dead too. I hated the AAC.
People are allowed to fail, back up, hopefully revise themselves, and succeed again. I can be disappointed by his end here but can still be happy for him there.
I’d like this too but the capability of the lowest SEC/Big 10 team now and the lowest when there are 48 or so pro college teams will be dramatic. All talent, advertising, coaching, and resources will be flowing in. It will be like a current NFL team against a great college team. Or NBA against...
He needs to play and there are too many guys in the rotation ahead of him. It looked better early when NO had guys hurt. He needs minutes not DNP’s at this point. This ain’t so bad.
Maybe. It's out of our control either way. Sports landscape is moving on without the mid tier football guys. It's done. It's been done for years. As far as march madness, my bet is they will still be pulling 32 teams or so at large for hoops. Who knows though.
Maybe. the sooner the "Super conference" comes together, the better. The teams not in those two top level conferences can re-engineer B league college football and start playing regionally again. UConn won't be in that club but I think there is potential for a pretty robust B league over...
Funny I saw George Gervin. I remember telling my father that Kevin Durant was an improved George Gervin. And Portland should take him no matter what. I was wicked smaht.
I said 10 years ago this was the plan. I still believe it today. I think we'll have regionally focused tier 2 football for nearly everybody else. Most people will cheer for their alma mater in tier 2 but since they aren't in the same league as the super teams they will likely have a favorite...
Me too. I am settled into this being about regional wants and desires and the current Big12 leadership/presidents wanted Western expansion and a competitive disruption to a rival. When in that prism Connecticut is ranked about 150th. As long as west coast expansion is the goal, teams like...
Colorado of the early 90's made their bones on talent from California if I remember right. I think that was one of the reasons the PAC was enticing to them. That pipeline dried up I would assume based on results the last 20 years.
I lived in Oregon 25 years. Worked in Corvallis area for 10 of them. Oregon State has nowhere near the cache of Oregon but there is support. They used to have a decent basketball tradition 70's-80's with Gary Payton I think the big standout. It felt like a Mets/Yankees kind of rivalry where...
I told my wife that Connecticut was ruling the winter sports scene. She said "It's too bad the women didn't win". I told her if the women had won Connecticut would have to secede from the country. The rest wouldn't have been worthy.
This shirt now 10-0 and 2 Natty's. Got a little salsa on it. A little more beer spillage. A little more, shall we say, ripe with the scent of victory. No washing. I'll air it out today then re-seal in a vacuum bag for the next time it's needed. I am thinking I might find a body of water...
I have my 6-game, unwashed Grey T/Blue UCONN T shirt from 2014 upstairs. Sealed in a plastic bag, untouched and unwashed from that tournament. I have been holding out. It smells a little funky, maybe like victory. Tomorrow, I am going in.
I wish I was 20 pounds lighter like I was then too...
Much of their final position will be based on how well they perform in the conference at NCAA tournament. At this point hearing they have NBA talent, skill sets, and interest is great. There are a ton of guys who have moved pretty easily from the early second to the mid first with a stellar...
Has he had anything done on his knees/legs in the interim? I looked around and couldn't find any articles of a trip to Germany or stem cell research or anything that might help him stay healthy in an NBA game type activity level. Has he had a tune up over the last year? Or is the bet limited...
This Renaissance of the non key tweets has made me a fan of Texas and OU. I didn’t realize how much I missed the non key tweets before the dry up a few years ago.
I know its schadenfreude and I should be above it but I love other schools who counted their chickens in these leagues getting screwed the same way UConn got it. The ACC and PAC better not get too comfortable. This could easily got to 32-40 teams in a 2 conference super-league by 2025. I...
I think Mandel is right and have thought this was the end game for college football all along. His time;one seems shorter than I would think. It will start with conferences giving unequal shares to try and keep the clemsons, Alabama’s, Texas’s, and the rest happy. Lets say increased tv dollars...
Only this site, like last 12 hours. A On my ipad got a "forbidden" page and no access. On PC just very slow and inconsistent. Other sites fine I think. May be here locally but wanted to ask if I was alone and why this site?
The best players now see a finite number of options to play on the largest stage. Its concentrating the player base and you can see it from the recruiting "grades". It's a smart business decision if you are a 5 star to hit Clemson, Alabama, Ohio State, and maybe an SEC team or two. At the...
I’d echo chin’s Savannah point of view. Day trip it. I was pleasantly surprised by St Augustine. Good food and drink, interesting for a weekend, easy to reach out of Jacksonville.
