This was already discussed in a different thread I thought, why is there a separate one? Excuse me for a sec, gotta go yell at the kids to get off my damn lawn.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Mar 30, 2013 -> 11:28 AM) Good move for Alford to get out of New Mexico. Seemed like he reached his ceiling there. Good hire for UCLA? Not as sure about that. My thoughts exactly. His personality is definitely better for it than Stevens's or Smart's...but that's about it. EDIT: He can recruit well, and he may be successful at UCLA. But I'm skeptical this was the best UCLA could do, and if it was, they've fallen further than they realize.

Alford to UCLA

Hopefully the first of many opening day starts for Sale.

Let's go Michigan. Rep the Big Ten.

Have good one!

QUOTE (Brian @ Mar 29, 2013 -> 01:40 PM) Why are you lumping Taylor Swift in there? She's not in movies. She was in that Valentine's Day movie a year or two ago, and maybe one other.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Mar 29, 2013 -> 11:45 AM) as soon as I saw that Snopes had a piece on it, i figured that aws a better explanation than anything I could find elsewhere. Still pretty vague sounding. It's not like it prevents constitutional challenges to this act, though.

I keep reading that it "protects Monsanto from litigation" without seeing how it protects them. I'd want to see that before getting worked up.

Which begs the question...you know Jersey Boys will be made into a movie at some point (if that process hasn't started already), so when?

QUOTE (Brian @ Mar 29, 2013 -> 10:59 AM) It was meh. Bet it just works better as a stage musical. That was the substance of the most of the stuff I read on it.

Watched Rock of Ages last night. Not great, but a fun movie.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Mar 29, 2013 -> 09:05 AM) When you see a game like that, you count that as a mark on the coaching staff. That was as unprepared as you'll ever see any team. Definitely.

Feeling pretty good about my Buckeyes in the title game pick. Probably a bad sign.

QUOTE (Jake @ Mar 28, 2013 -> 11:01 PM) I really don't believe IU can win a title with Crean as their coach. Total waste of talent this year and with the likely loss of Zeller, they may never get this much again. The problem is, suppose IU only makes the first or second round the next three years. I'd want him gone. But the fact that he brought the program back (or has come damn close) will probably buy him at least two extra years.

QUOTE (Brian @ Mar 28, 2013 -> 10:59 PM) Isn't it something for his shoulder? Yeah, he collided with a Temple player on Sunday and hurt his collarbone. And to whoever asked (Jenks, maybe?) I'd be surprised if either Zeller or Oladipo returned, especially Oladipo. His stock will never be higher, next year is a much deeper draft class and he's already graduating this year. He'd be crazy to stay. I'd be surprised if Zeller stayed, but I suppose it's possible. Education is really important to that family and he hasn't graduated yet (though isn't too far off). He also genuinely loves college, by all accounts. But again, I think he will (and should) go pro.

The fact that I thought Syracuse was the most dangerous match up for Indiana in this bracket is unsurprisingly of little comfort.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Mar 28, 2013 -> 10:50 PM) What did Cream do all week? Was he aware Syracuse runs a zone? Apparently not. If we somehow win this, I'll be delirious enough to streak around the block. Not exactly banking on it though.

I can tell you right now what I'll say if we lose: "Great season with a disappointing finish." Krush, I think it was you who was asking how Indiana fans would feel if they fell short of the Final Four. The above would sum it up for me.

Zeller's had a brutal tournament. Hasn't helped IU or his draft stock.

Lost a bit of momentum. Key here is to see whether they can get it back quickly, instead of just hanging around.

Slightly better at the end of the half there, take that and run with it and it's a winnable game for sure. But Jebus, get your heads out of your asses and move the ball. And then actually make shots, too.

Play better. Hit your free throws and open shots, fools. Syracuse isn't exactly lighting it up offensively.

LET'S f***ING GO
