This game is awesome!

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Mar 16, 2008 -> 12:23 AM) It was very hard to turn back and forth between the last seconds of the UCLA game and the Tenn game. God I love college basketball. Ha, no kidding. I kept it on CBS due to the Gus factor. That Tenn/Ark game was great.

Greatest conference tournament ever!

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Mar 15, 2008 -> 10:32 PM) Bingo, there you have it. Although I do give Clemson credit, they are a lot better than I thought they were. I figured they just matched up well with UNC and that's why they played them well (and should have won) both meetings while beating on the rest of the league's mediocre, but they earned it today against Duke. 4 of Clemson's 5 best players have had injuries this year also. However, I can see them getting upset in the first round of the NCAAT, as they still suck at FT shooting.

Wow, horrible officiating at the end of the game.

I have no idea why Tubby slowed the game down so much. Bad strategy that resulted in allowing Illinois to win even though they played terrible.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Mar 15, 2008 -> 08:06 PM) The ACC was very down this year, so I don't take much stock into them finishing 4th. I've said all year the Big 10 is as bad as I've seen it this season, but I could make the same case for the ACC. No disrespect to their programs, but Miami of Florida getting 22 wins and Clemson finshing 3rd and 10-6 in conference just tells you how bad the league was this year. And that doesn't include the fact that the league had zero depth. If it's a bad league, then just about every league is bad this year. The PAC 10 is the best league overall, but then I'd put the ACC second. Clemson's a very good team that's had a ton of injuries to overcome this season.

That a boy Thome

QUOTE(Greg The Bull Luzinski @ Mar 15, 2008 -> 09:57 PM) Cotts is bound to make our hitters look good. His 2005 season was the luckiest/most fluky I've ever seen in any sport.

Nice to see Linebrink get 3 grounders that inning.

BTW, after listening to KW's interview, Jason B. will start the season in AAA.

Good thing it's ST, as Cabrera has looked horrible in spots where situational hitting was needed. He looks slower than I remember.

Ha, Fukudome's arm isn't quite as good as advertised.

Some really awful basketball so far in this 2nd game.

FWIW, Seth Davis just said there's no way VT will make it. I don't really care, but if you get 4th in the ACC, you should make the tourney.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Mar 15, 2008 -> 07:55 PM) Bad PR? They don't travel well for basketball and have only one top 50 RPI win. Plus, if your referring to the shootings, that anniversary isn't until about two weeks after the tournament. Yes, I'm referring to the shootings.

No chance VT isn't included...you think the NCAA would want that type of bad PR?

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Mar 15, 2008 -> 07:42 PM) Someone shut Vitale up. Mike Patrick was/is 10,000 times worse.

The first 19 minutes of the 2nd half was the worst basketball I've ever seen. Everyone besides D.J. White should have been put on the bench, and then just let people from the stands play.

Um, wow! Tornado likely hit the area around the Georgia Dome. All hell is breaking loose as the scoreboard is moving, along with the scaffolding.

QUOTE(The Critic @ Mar 15, 2008 -> 01:37 AM) That's odd, I thought Adamle was getting paid 20 million dollars!! Source: Wrestling Observer Newsletter -- Raw announcer Mike Adamle was going to start working with J2 Strategic Communications -- a media training company in Chicago -- but one day after his WWE hiring was announced, he pulled out, citing other commitments including his WWE commitments. WWE is reportedly paying Mike Adamle $300,000 per year for his weekly work on Raw (talent receive additional money for working pay-per-views). That translates to about $6,000 per show. $300,000 is close to what a high-end mid-carder makes on their downside guarantee. $300,000 is also equivalent to three or four entry level WWE contracts, or giving developmental contracts to 12 wrestlers from the indy scene. Another colossal waste of money for someone who adds absolutely nothing to any broadcast. Amazing. I'll never forget sitting next to him on the sidelines at an NIU game where he was trashing the hell out of Michael Turner. When I watched the news that night, he was saying how Turner is his favorite player in college football.

Purdue's playing awfully stupid in this overtime.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Mar 14, 2008 -> 03:53 AM) w00t! Great great second half for Marquette. The two Hillcrest kids were phenomenal, Barro was great and James did what he needed to do. As far as I'm concerned, Marquette has done what they've needed to do -- anything else (in this tourney) is gravy. This win should solidify Marquette as a #5 or 6 in the tourney. That's pretty reasonable, right? Great win for your guys tonight. Like you said, Hillcrest represented in fine fashion tonight.

QUOTE(iamshack @ Mar 14, 2008 -> 02:22 AM) Oh, I don't read Korean, unfortunately... Fathom, you can't read the spoiler sites...that's cheating! That's not a spoiler site from future episodes...just a translation from tonight.

QUOTE(iamshack @ Mar 14, 2008 -> 02:17 AM) What do you mean both? Was it a flashback from before he got to the island, or has he faked his death and gotten remarried? SPOILER: Some was before, some after, I believe. You might want to put spoiler in these posts. Interesting stuff on other sites about the date Jin's grave states as when he died.
