Official 2010-2011 NCAA Basketball Thread
QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Mar 4, 2011 -> 03:48 PM) I've only been at my firm for a month and half so not sure I feel comfortable doing that yet. My boss is a huge basketball fan just like I am though so if he does it and I don't have a lot of work (like today where I am sitting at the office doing nothing) I might be able to work from home those days. I mean it counts towards my allotted vacation days, and i've only been here 4 years now but everyone already knows i'm out those afternoons later this month. Best days of the year!

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Mar 4, 2011 -> 02:06 PM) Ugh, this is the worst part about finally being employed. No more having weekday conference tourney watching marathons and I'm not sure how much of the first two days of the NCAA tourney I'm going to be able to see. I take the afternoon off both of those days every year and everyone is aware of why.

Most Remarkable Sports Moment
QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Mar 2, 2011 -> 05:13 PM) All of 05 is just a moment by itself for me. But anyways, I know it's kind of lame since they ended up getting knocked out next round but Donovan's goal last summer in the WC to send the Americans to the knock out stage was amazing for me, personally. Wow, how did I forget that? Absolutely. I was at work and cut to the cafeteria to watch those last 10 minutes with a couple guys. Talk about an intense moment and everyone just jumped up and yelled when he put that in. Good call.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Mar 2, 2011 -> 03:12 PM) Still was a forward pass. Meh, that's what my friends say to this day but they're Bills fans. I don't know, it's so close. Either way, I remember watching that in my living room just amazed that that actually happened.

Watching the Music City Miracle was pretty ridiculous. Definitely was a "did that just happen" moment.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Mar 1, 2011 -> 12:01 PM) And to think I watched it last night and enjoyed it. I actually liked what they were doing with Barney. But just the whole Robin's new guy as a dog bit was way too much and over the top for me

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Mar 1, 2011 -> 09:26 AM) It's not like Kansas and Texas are magically going to suck. I'm talking about the overall strength of the league next year, in which you're looking at: Kansas Texas Texas A&M Mizzou Kansas State Baylor Iowa State Oklahoma State Oklahoma Texas Tech If Tech or Oklahoma show any shred of improvement next year, it's one of the toughest top to bottom. And yes, Iowa State too, but I'm relatively confident that they will be improved next year - #16 ranked incoming class by someone when transfers are included. Well no, but I don't know if Texas and KU are going to be major players next year though. It's going to be a solid conference but I just don't see it being as dangerous as the current year. And I hate Big Ten basketball but year in year out they seem to produce a NC contender. I guess I assumed you meant something different with the statement. I just don't see the power shifting so to speak from the Big East or elsewhere to the Big 12 next year. Hell, if anyone is going to be improved it's looking like it'll be the SEC.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Mar 1, 2011 -> 09:00 AM) The Big 12 is gonna be a tough f***ing basketball conference next year. I think the Big East, Big Ten and possibly ACC will be better. Kansas will lose the Morris twins, Texas will lose all their bigs, K-State is losing most of their scoring and the big 12 is mostly out of the top classes picture (except Texas)

Brent Morel = The Mole?
QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Feb 28, 2011 -> 03:04 AM) Why can't we just call him "Brent" or "Morel"? As long as we don't use the initial thing with him a la PK, KW, MB, JD etc... I'd rather not continually refer to him as BM...

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Feb 22, 2011 -> 02:47 PM) Just from reading what other people have to say about the show, it seems that every woman on the show has been eliminated as a possibility through something else. Yeah nothing points to it being someone we've already met.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Feb 22, 2011 -> 01:34 PM) I've never watched this show, so forgive me if I'm way off, but is it possible that they're purposely misleading you? The word "meet" can mean two separate things in this scenario. 1.) He met this woman for the first time at a wedding 2.) He already knew this woman, and agreed with her beforehand to meet her at the ceremony Nothing has indicated scenario #2 is it

Catch All Anything Thread
QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Feb 17, 2011 -> 08:24 PM) I've worked 52 hours since Monday. I'm tired and loads more to do...ahh the glamorous life of an accountant (and no, this has nothing to do with taxes), haha. The last two weeks prior to this one I put in probably around 120 hours (65/55). Previously I had never had to work more than 50 in a week and never back to back. Sucked and definitely drained me as well but I do get paid overtime so when I get my check in a couple weeks it will make it worth it

QUOTE (lostfan @ Feb 17, 2011 -> 06:32 PM) It seems like when people are talking about Eminem here, in this thread, they're only talking about like his top 3 music videos like "The Real Slim Shady" and other silly over-the-top s*** he's made and not what he actually says on his full albums. Other than a couple exceptions, the majority of Em's songs that are my favorites have NOT been his singles.
