I can hear this picture... “I fart in your general direction! Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries!” You did... Be honest... :ROFLMAO: That’s sooo dang cool!

Hopefully we can course correct before we reach this level!

...and THERE is my biggest fear. I hope the TFG / B*** L**** debate rages for years. God forbid we have a new candidate!

I feel like in order to be in this thread one must choose to defend one of two abysmal failures. yet I keep checking.

Agree... and that’s kind of where I arrived too. Just the culmination of what i posted a couple of days ago relative to the notion of ACC being slighted. The funniest part to me is that the committee claims the BIG should’ve gotten another team (Rutgers) before entertaining Clemson or UNC...

Funny thing about a tournament... you get better every week, until you don’t. :) I agree, ousting UConn is a tall order...

UConn looks really tough. Total speculation but I feel like the best chance to knock them out is Miami on Saturday. Miami can shoot with anyone when hot and I just feel like the stage is too big on Monday night for SDSU / FAU winner vs UCONN. That said, I have been really impressed with...

A "cap" is interesting but since it is technically not supposed to be associated with said school / sports program, how do you establish it? You can't cap one individual's outside earnings because a teammate is making too much already. I don't know the answer and I am not really sure anyone...

Can we all just stipulate "bottom two" and avoid asking the question again? Is there any real comfort in knowing "at least he's not B*** L****?"

the bolded are the most amazing to me. I have no empirical evidence but It seems to me that the chaos usually ends in the round of 16. One of the top 3 or 4 seeds usually takes care of business in the second weekend. An aberration in the Elite 8 sometimes lands an unexpected Final Four...

Po-tay-toe, Po-tah-toe. ;) I fixed the above point to something I can agree with.

Fair point made by you and @kg01 ... I wasn't paying attention to Auburn basketball recruiting back then (was anyone?), but Charles said he didn't graduate in the same interview. He attended summer school to pass his last class. I have no idea what his transcript looked like, but I would...

But I think the factories could have done more previously and didn't for fear of getting reckless and being caught (what little fear they might have had). Now they can deploy more capital and more influence legally, and they will. If anything, I think it has created an environment where every...

Well, if it worked that way, the Big East is leading the argument. However, their next candidate was likely Villanova, so... Sometimes there is a very clear delineation point and the relative strength of the conference doesn't matter. The last four out, according to the committee were OK...

But the shorts made it look like they were all playing in sundresses... I had forgotten how crazy they got... :ROFLMAO:

Just for grins... and I did this quickly. Based on SEEDING (not actual favorites / betting lines) SEC = 9-8 overall. They were 7-4 as the favored seed and 2-3 as the lower seed. They are 0-1 in “neutral” games; MSU lost the 11 seed play in to Pitt. BIG = 6-8 overall. They were 4-3 as a...

Like Purdue, or Arizona, or Marquette? Throw in Kansas... regular season winner. It’s a tournament... favorites lose. Yes, the games are not called as tightly but I also think several of the top seeds had holes and they all ran up against pretty experienced groups. I think the extra covid year...

Re: Degrees.... I don’t think that’s what happened. the Building Construction degree in the 90s fell under the school of architecture, not an engineering school. I don’t know why they called it a bachelor of science other than to maybe further distinguish from an engineering discipline? I do...

I still come down squarely on the side of “scheme”.... I think...but Maybe that’s not the right word. The coach needs to be a leader first and foremost and needs to be good game day manager as a close second (is that really “scheme?”) After that, there are a whole lot of debatable topics...

Good question. Toughness doesn’t always equal wins but a lack of toughness almost always assures a loss. I’m going with winning because they’re tough.
