Finally someone defends us

Musberger and Dykes say it is not fair for our tourny ban because of APR

Musberger must be 6 scotches deep and Dykes must've gotten a comment on his blog post.

Musberger showed us some respect tonight. He did a good job

Did he pick out any hot chicks in the crowd?

I highly doubt there was anyone in the XL Center who looked as good as Katherine Webb does.

There were some DIMES in the crowd tonight for ole Musky Mussy to fawn over.

Is there any way I can convince her to dump that Alabama QB for me?

It is definitely nice to see we are getting positive portrayals by some in the media. KO is a route to green pastures. How can any conference not want our basketball program with him running the show?

I'll see your Katherine Webb and raise you one Kate Upton.

I didn't want to have to be the one to tell him, but with those narrow hips, that woman couldn't have more than 6 or 7 children.

Well what they said was that this group of players weren't the ones who had the academic issues, which is basically the Herbst/Manual line. That's why I would have preferred that they had emphasized the 'retroactive punishment/not using current data/punished twice for the same year' criticisms to the NCAA's action as that would have been what was talked about last night. Still, it was friendly commentary, which is refreshing to say the least.

Hahahaha!

Just when I think you couldn't possibly be any dumber, you go and do something like this…and totally redeem yourself!

Jay Bilas is the only one who goes off on the NCAA for APR in the first place. No one else seems to care or understand it.

Agreed. Brent started by saying something like "What has the UConn fans upset this year regarding the post-season ban...". I was hoping to finally hear someone in the national media acknowledge the retroactive penalty on top of one already served for the same set of scores, but at this point I don't think we will ever hear that. That is more upsetting than anything else regarding the APR BS. The fact that Susan & Warde haven't pushed that point is most disappointing.

Exactly. The fact that our current players had nothing to do with the 2009/2010 APR problems is missing the point. A casual fan hears that and says "Well too bad, they can't go back and punish prior teams, so this one has to take the hit."

It would be much better if a national media member would point out that the NCAA didn't even create the postseason APR ban until last year, and then they used 2009/2010 data to enforce it. The problem is, I don't think more than 10% of the national media even knows that this is true.

For some reason I'm not a big Kate Upton fan. Just doesn't do it for me. But I like this:
