Kansas getting waxed, if they lose by 20, how could you give them a #1 seed?

GO Wisky

QUOTE(fathom @ Mar 11, 2007 -> 12:33 PM) Even though I think Illinois should be in, there seems to be a lot of momentum towards them being out right now. I don't see how Purdue would be in and Illinois not in, but who knows. As of right now Seth Davis, Clark Kellogg and Lunardi all have Illinois as being out. I'd put the most stock in Lunardi who usually gets 32 or 33 of the at-large selections correct. That said, I just don't see Illinois being out.

QUOTE(Buehrle>Wood @ Mar 11, 2007 -> 12:19 PM) Drexel is another terrible team. If they get in, well, I won't even know what to say about that. How are they terrible? They might not be great but they won at Villanova, at Syracuse and at Creighton, all 3 will be in the tournament.

Thought this could be fun with just hours remaining until the brackets are announced... Drexel - IN Illinois - IN Purdue - IN Kansas State - OUT Old Dominion - OUT Florida State - OUT Stanford - IN Air Force - OUT Weigh in with your take.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Mar 11, 2007 -> 12:15 PM) I'm surprised that Illinois has fallen off the board in Lunardi's Bracketology today. CBS also has them out today, Seth Davis and Clark Kellogg. I think they'll be in.

QUOTE(maggsmaggs @ Mar 11, 2007 -> 11:07 AM) Unfortunately, he is not gonna be. Durant is more talented the Gordon is and 6-10. Gordon will be a stud, top 10 NBA pick probably, but he won't score more than 18 ppg as a freshman (which is still damn good.) He will find it much harder to score in the Big 10, so don't expect huge numbers. Gordon is another in a great line of combo guards to come into the NCAA, but Durant is a once in a lifetime player. Gordon, simply is not. Jerry Meyer, head of recruiting at Rivals, begs to differ: From his latest mailbag: "Gordon is an athletic anomaly who can post gaudy scoring numbers. Don't be surprised if he is the Kevin Durant of next year's freshman class - as far as putting up points. Gordon attacks the rim like a beast, can score in the mid-range of the dribble or by posting and has a pure long distance stroke either off the dribble or the pass. He can also control the boards from the shooting guard position." I'm going to try to go watch Gordon this weekend in the semi-state, so then I'll have a better sense of what type of player he is. Up until now all I have seen is him on TV and various clips online. However, I'd be thrilled if he was able to average 18 a game next year.

I've only been to Cali once, luckily I had the famous Jason Gage to show me around. Good times.

QUOTE(WhiteSoxfan1986 @ Mar 8, 2007 -> 08:56 PM) Doyel talks about Vitale and the Hall of Fame Doyel is a complete idiot. How the hell does he even have a job?

QUOTE(BearSox @ Mar 8, 2007 -> 10:10 PM) They usually just do it randomly, I think. Well, they probably do have some type of system of picking which feed they'll use, but if they do, I have no idea what it would be. On DirecTV, it's almost always the home team feed, unless the home team is on a channel that DirecTV doesn't carry for whatever reason (like WCIU). I've also noticed that a lot of the Yankee and Red Sox away games usually have the Yankee and Red Sox announcers for obvious reasons, but most other teams it's usually always the home team feed.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Mar 8, 2007 -> 08:52 PM) Smart job by both MLB and DirectTV. I got to be honest, I don't see a problem in what MLB is doing because they are getting so much more money and are going to force a lot of people directly into there own online service which they have a much greater margin on. It sucks cause I'd prefer to have my games on tv as opposed to having to deal with hooking my laptop up to the tv and dealing with the lower quality but it still beats not seeing the Sox and I don't blame MLB for taking that fat contract. And over the long haul, lets be honest the only people effected by this are the big time die hard baseball fans and none of us are going to actually boycott our favorite sport just because of this deal (no way, no how). Although I have DirecTV, I'm switching to the MLB.tv package this year simply because I believe most of the WCIU games are on there (I know they advertise having every game on MLB.tv, the WCIU broadcasts are not on DirecTV) and it's also $40 cheaper annually (for the Premium package, the standard MLB.tv is $70 cheaper). I worried somewhat about losing the ability to DVR the games, then again, they archive all of the games on MLB.tv. I just hope the quality for the streaming 700K lives up to what I'm expecting it to be. I also like the idea of being able to be out of town, finding a high speed connection and being able to watch the Sox game or taking the laptop to a friend's house to watch the game. One question I have for anyone who can answer, are you able to get both feeds (home and away) for all games or are you limited to the home feed? Say the Sox are at Cleveland, will I have to watch the Cleveland announcers like I usually do on the dish?

How was that not a travel? Lol. He picked up the ball at the free throw line. Also the Louisville player dribbled the ball before inbounding the ball, also an illegal play, but never called.

Here's a good piece of advice for the future: Don't buy a new car unless you can afford it comfortably. Hell I will probably never buy a brand new car simply because I don't think it's that great of a value due to the fact that it loses value immediately after driving it off the lot. The only car I've paid for thus far I paid cash for it simply because I didn't want a car payment.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Mar 8, 2007 -> 04:58 PM) Well I bit the bullet and bought the mlb.tv premium. I honestly can't tell the difference in the picture quality between the 350 and 700 on my tv (only thing in 700 I've seen is the demo of the Cardinals so maybe I'm missing something). That said it isn't horrible but I still have fear of the stupid lag time issues that mlb.tv has had over the past couple years with the streaming games. I was impressed that I have a connection rate of 2884 though. Still I wish I could still just watch it on cable in high quality (even if its not HD) and knowing if my internet s***s out or wireless s***s out I got no worries. How are you hooked up to your TV? Also, does the MLB.tv package allow you to watch full screen on your computer? I noticed you can't watch the demo in full screen.

Specific team or best program that hasn't won?

I really don't see a Buehrle deal getting done, but that's just me. Unless he really wants to stay in Chicago, he'd be stupid to not test the market and see what is out there.

New Rivals 150 for 2008 shows Bud Mackey (committed to IU) at 48 after being unranked and Eshaunte Jones (senior this year but going to prep school so he is reclassified into 2008) at 72.

You don't need a slingbox to watch the MLB.tv product through the TV. If your computer or laptop has S-Video, you can hook it directly to the TV. Also for those who are worried that they'll no longer be able to Tivo/DVR the games, MLB.tv has archives of every game that are uploaded about 15 mins after the games end.

Here we go again...

More from the Atlanta paper: Maybe they'll get their own reality show on MTV after this.

QUOTE(RME JICO @ Feb 26, 2007 -> 06:14 AM) Normally your laptop will only have a 3.5mm Stereo jack used for headphones. You should be able to just buy a cheap adapter that converts that to RCA audio (the red and white jacks on the tv). Something like this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0009JFF7K/ On a desktop you may have output ports on your sound card or motherboard that can plug directly into a TV, but you would have to know what ports are back there. Thanks for the info, looks like I'll do the first option. Should be rather easy.
