QUOTE(WhiteSoxfan1986 @ Mar 24, 2006 -> 02:55 PM) What does everyone have against Gonzaga anyways? Is it just Morrison? I have never really understood all the hate for the Zags, and why people would root for UCLA over them (unless they have them in their bracket of course). I don't think I've ever hated a college athlete as much as I hate Mr. Mustache.

QUOTE(SnB @ Mar 24, 2006 -> 03:30 PM) The only relief pitchers I have faith in right now is politte and cotts. Everyone else seems to have question marks surrounding them right now. Yeah, it's possible that jenks and bmac won't have the problems we're worried about, but I wouldn't call them solid yet. Well I'm pretty confident in both and with the way you make predictions, I'm even more confident.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Mar 24, 2006 -> 02:53 PM) I also dont think he will let a bullpen get in the way of a having a world series team repeat. Something will be done, I guess its just a matter of when, and hopfully its not too late... I think we should also give the pen a little time to actually see what happens. Yes, we're short but we still have 4 pretty damn good arms in there, and with our starters we aren't going to have to use the 5 and 6 guys in there that often in critical situations. It would be nice to get another arm there is no doubt but I also don't think it's time to hit the panic button yet.

At the risk of sounding like Kenny, Cruz is actually a guy I've wanted for a while. With his arm and his funky motion I really think you get him with the right pitching coach(see atlanta) then he'll be a very good pitcher out of the pen. Also, don't get me wrong I'm not comparing coop to leo but coop aint bad himself.

In my pool today I went from 27th to 8th.

If I really just saw those last 2 games correctly then my whole e8 is still in tact, somehow.

Ok. I'm happy as f*** and f*** you Morrison cause I hate you. That being said, Gonzaga was much better then I thought and they proved me wrong a few times. So kudos to them.

See, that right there. Complete f***in bulls***.

QUOTE(WilliamTell @ Mar 23, 2006 -> 11:17 PM) haha ok, but "trying" to answer your question, how much of the game have you seen. I haven't seen a whole lot so I obviously don't know if the reffing is one sided or not. Sure there was bumping down low that I would've called a foul on against UCLA but that was 1 incident. I don't know how many others there were. Knight just fouled out for Gonzaga so I guess Gonzaga's getting called for some fouls. I haven't seen any of the game up until now but a few others I've talked to who don't care either way have said there have been a few horrible calls like when Morrison got his 4 point play. Still, whatever, I just don't think you can say the announcers are favoring ucla cause they said the reffing is one sided.

QUOTE(WilliamTell @ Mar 23, 2006 -> 11:14 PM) Were you a Jordan fan? Yes and I know where you're going with this but you didn't answer my question.

QUOTE(WilliamTell @ Mar 23, 2006 -> 11:13 PM) UCLA down by 7. I think it's pretty obvious who the announcers want to win. I haven't seen the whole game since Texas and West Virginia were on but from what I'm hearing I'd go with the assumption of UCLA. Because they said the reffing is one sided?

Morrison gets every f***in call. This is frusterating. Even the announcers just said "the reffing is one sided."

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ Mar 23, 2006 -> 10:16 PM) That was a fine article. Who wrote it by the way? I'm not familar with everybody's real name around here. aboz.

I'm pretty sure UCLA couldn't play worse if they tried, so it could be much worse then 13.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Mar 23, 2006 -> 10:04 PM) I can't speak to Duke's bench, I don't know enough about them (I'll assume it's a fairly weak bench), but Paulus isn't/wasn't ready for as many minutes as he got (32.2 minutes per game). You're right, awful wasn't the correct word. I just don't see him becoming a 'cornerstone' of a future Duke championship team. From the (admittedly) little I've seen of him, it looks like he can play defense decently enough, and he looks like a decent point guard. This could be just a sample size issue, but I've been disgusted with some of the decisions he's made in the games I've watched. I dunno -- I'm just not a fan, even if he is just a freshman. That's fair. I think he'll be a very solid pg, I don't think he's going to be the star that leads you to a title but he can be a very important piece to that puzzle.

My feelings about the zags as a whole aside, if I ever saw Morrison on the street, I would just go up to him and punch him in the face.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Mar 23, 2006 -> 09:49 PM) . And Paulus is awful. No he's not. He's a freshman that still has some things to work on but he's far from awful. 7 ppg and 5 assists is not bad at all when you're job is to run the team. I would like to see him cut down on his turnovers and yes his decision making isn't the greatest but he's far from awful.

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ Mar 23, 2006 -> 09:48 PM) Rowand, I think you severely underrated Gonzaga. I'll eat some serious crow if they win this and I already had some last week. UCLA just can't hit a shot right now. Very frusterating.

WVU hasn't made a 2 yet. Now that's impressive.

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ Mar 23, 2006 -> 09:20 PM) Am I wrong when I say Memphis is the most athletic team in the country? No, you're 100 percent correct.

Rough ending for the Braves. They helped gain the Valley some credibility though so I'm very happy with them. Memphis is just a great team, Willie and I have talked about a lot how we thought they were being underrated by a lot of people. Anyways, Go Bruins, f*** you zags.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Mar 23, 2006 -> 08:41 PM) Correct, and whoever picks Morrison over Thomas, Gay, or Aldridge is going to be regretting it for a long time. 2nd that.
