Saturday 2nd round thread

$800 million sounds like they are pretty serious about sports to me.

One person is serious about sports…..multi- billionaire Pat Ryan. He has provided all the money and hasn’t really had much of a return.

Well, I mean, Mick is very familiar with them. Northwestern and UCLA are B10 rivals. Sort of surprising they were paired in the second round given that.

 

[Hey Adrien!]

If this were the NHL, Proctor would have gotten two minutes for embellishment.

We've been to the tournament enough to have a story covering every scenario, both positive and negative.

The stories you choose to tell say more about your own self confidence, or in this case lack thereof, than any future game insight.

Silly, but I get it though. Wet blanket any positive feelings...less suffering if you're let down later.

Not wet blanket positive feelings. You need to recognize the difference between positive feelings and hubris. I’m all for being excited about our team. I’m very excited. And yes history both long past through this current weekend has taught me that a tempered realistic approach serves me well. That’s just me, you do you.

I root for my team, they aren’t my self identity, they speak to nothing about any of that. It is way more that the converse is true and that people who puff their chests prematurely at the slightest whiff of success screams small dik energy.

You seem to interpret all positive feelings as hubris. And that may suit you fine. But how about we stop pretending your Debbie Downerism is some kind of Zen wisdom, instead of you just being scared?

So glad they are gone

If I was scared I wouldn’t drop thousands and thousands of dollars on this endeavor

Youre trying way too hard, ease off the stick a little, maverick. You’re an incel I take it?

Please, I'm cooler than the other side of the pillow. I'm spoiled and arrogant.

Now relax and enjoy our victory later today.
