Shane needs to start writing his promos on his wrist, holy hell that was bad. And yes, that show sucked. Badly.

In Roman's defense nobody is getting any reaction at all as this crowd is just dead. But the show has sucked too so there's that.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Mar 13, 2016 -> 04:09 PM) I hope they get in because they are definitely better than every other bubble team I just don't think the committee will put them in unfortunately because their resume is so weak. I'm obviously 100 percent biased towards the Valley so I want them in too but I'm not going to lose it if they don't get in. I do think it's interesting to see how serious the committee is about using Kenpom and the Sagarin ratings considering they grade out super well in both of those.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Mar 13, 2016 -> 04:00 PM) Their resume with VanVleet is still crap. They are a really good team that has a s*** resume even with VanVleet missing some games. Off the top of my head they're basically 1-1 against sure fire at large teams with him, beat Utah and lost to SH. They lost to Tulsa with him playing most of the game and those other early season losses came with out him, Frankamp and Grady for one or two of them. Then they won the valley but also have the Ill State and two UNI losses with him.

QUOTE (fathom @ Mar 13, 2016 -> 03:41 PM) Their losses without VanVleet will get excused It wasn't just Van Vleet for the early season losses but they lost some games in conference they shouldn't have either. Like I said earlier, Kenpom loves them, rpi doesn't and as was mentioned before no one is going to want to play them. They're a super interesting case.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Mar 13, 2016 -> 03:11 PM) So Wichita St. is the team I'm most curious to see whether they get in the tourney. Their resume is garbage but that is a legitimately really good basketball team which would be a terrifying 11 or 12 seed. Got the Utah win and that's about it. Kenpom loves them too and supposedly the committee does look at that stuff now. I'm with you, I'm intrigued to see what happens with them.

QUOTE (DBAHO @ Mar 13, 2016 -> 01:53 PM) I saw Renee Young here yesterday for SXSW, took a photo as she was filming so I'll have to upload at some stage. Lucky.

QUOTE (fathom @ Mar 12, 2016 -> 09:12 PM) Watched a bit of Roadblock. Crowd absolutely dead, especially during Sami match Hot at the beginning, they got strange as the show went on including CM Punk chants. I'm a big fan of Sami and Cody but that match was super slow in the crowd's defense. Ambrose and HHH was super fun with the obvious ending.

Cinci-UConn might be the craziest game of all time.

QUOTE (flavum @ Mar 10, 2016 -> 07:06 PM) Gossage with Waddle and Silvy http://espn.go.com/espnradio/chicago/play?id=14946879 He sounds like a crazy person. This dude is a nut job.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Mar 10, 2016 -> 06:19 PM) The Ivy League finally joining the dark side, will have a conference tournament beginning next season. Only going to be 4 teams though.

Bryce is so right and the league of old men can just go away please.

Save the cheerleader, save the world.

QUOTE (Brian @ Mar 10, 2016 -> 01:20 PM) Pretty much. If Sami Zayn is used right, he'll draw. Could even take DBs place. Pssh, Sami is too small, Owens is too fat, Bayley isn't a tall blonde, no chance they draw.

I don't think Steph half court 3 pointers should count if they're bank ins going forward. He's too good for that.

Can't wait for the doofus son in law to be fully in charge.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Mar 8, 2016 -> 07:23 AM) As much fun as the conference tourneys can be, I really think they should start giving the auto bid to the regular season champion. You dominate the league for 3 months, then it's all for nothing. Plus, that will increase the odds of a 16 seed finally beating a 1. The more upsets that happen in these tourneys, it weakens all of the teams in the main bracket. They're part of the fun of March though. We could just eliminate automatic conference bids all together and just let a committee decide the top 64 teams if we want to go that route or just get rid of the one and done tournament and make it a series of games.

86 sounds about right to me. I'm not sure if that gets us into the playoffs but I think it at least gives us a shot.

So Y2AJ are gone and LoN is getting their title shot at Roadblock now. I wonder where this leaves New Day for mania now? Maybe it'll be Gallows and Anderson or Enzo and Cass. I'm intrigued.

QUOTE (iWin4Ron @ Mar 7, 2016 -> 05:03 PM) any background on this Sami guy? Why is he so well known / good? He was a super well known Indy wrestler before he came to wwe. Him and Owens have a big history and Sami is probably the closest comparison you can have to Daniel Bryan.

Super happy.

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Mar 6, 2016 -> 01:16 PM) So was Holm. And Holm dominated Rhonda. It wasn't a close fight. Holm also did a lot better against Tate than Rousey did against Holm. Flat out, if Holm isn't getting a rematch(again, she was winning that fight big), then it should be Holm vs Rousey to see who the #1 contender was. And Ronda didn't get a rematch right away. I bet Holly is the next challenger after Meisha-Ronda. I'm not even arguing that id rather see something else besides Tate-Rousey cause I would but she absolutely deserves the next title shot.

She was also an undefeated champion before she lost, she absolutely deserves a title shot.

Ya why wouldn't Ronda get the next title shot? She should absolutely be next in line.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Mar 3, 2016 -> 10:56 AM) You guys realize, the target audience is the kids, whose parents were the primary demographic of the original. I don't think, outside of some early nostaligia, the goal was for people in their early to late 30's to be watching the show, rather their kids to be watching the show and the parents at least having that ability to "relate" to it, so to speak. I could be wrong and my kids aren't old enough. And I thought the show was a classic and watched it plenty growing up. I don't think so. Almost everything they do is trying to be a throw back to something in the original. It's targeted at us.
