QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Mar 21, 2014 -> 08:38 AM) It's pretty ironic they were passed over for the play-in game because of the fact that Dayton was the host site. A ton of "expert" brackets had them in one of the two play-in games, along with BYU/SMU/Providence/Stanford/Xavier/S.Miss/LaTech/Minnesota/Nebraska...especially after they lost to St. Joseph's in the A-10 conference tourney. It's pretty clear they didn't seed Colorado/Pitt and BYU correctly. Seeding isnt based on what happens in the tourney, its based on the regular season. Losing in the tourney doesnt say anything about the seeds it just says that team lost to another team. And more than 90% of Dayton fans are also OSU fans. Many of my friends who went to UD dont understand why everyone is treating them like some bulls*** cinderella, they've always though more of their program than that.

QUOTE (bmags @ Mar 20, 2014 -> 11:41 AM) I think the way he was controlling the media and players was indicative of being a bad person. Though certainly Josh Freeman actually ending up being one of the worst QBs ever sort of helped out in that he was right in that part. Did he ever have the rep as a bad person at Rutgers?

I've got Lou to at least the elite eight. Yikes.

Come on Lou

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Mar 20, 2014 -> 09:02 PM) Dakich saying he'd take him over ANYONE ELSE in college basketball? It's not about good kid, it's how overrated he became. Well we all know the Dakich family are a bunch of clowns. Anyone who knows college Bball knows craft is a great glue guy and role player. That's it. However I have no problem with them highlighting a kid who is a success off the court. We need more Aaron crafts and less thugs, criminals, and guys who get 0.0 gpas.

@brdispatch: STL and NCST combined to miss 31 of 63 FTs.

What a choke job.

QUOTE (Brian @ Mar 20, 2014 -> 08:10 PM) The Craft hate comes from the media falling in love with him and shoving him down fans throats despite offensive limitations. It's the Tebow Effect. He's obviously a smart kid who plays hard and has great instincts. Now he can go to med school and out of my life. I think it's funny to hate on the media shoving good kids down people's throats. Those are exactly the kids they should make people aware of, the good role models, the kids that are what's right about college athletics.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Mar 20, 2014 -> 06:49 PM) Im just so happy never to hear about Aaron Craft from announcers again, team was losing and then lost and yet announcers still calling him a "winner." He averaged 29 wins a season through his career and is a two time academic all American heading to med school to become a surgeon. I'd call that winning.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Mar 20, 2014 -> 09:00 AM) Why do those guys want to transfer? Crean? Top ranked recruits that don't play and whose team may not be very good like to look around. It makes sense to me.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Mar 20, 2014 -> 01:58 PM) I'd be shocked if Bates-Diop is an impact player next year. He didn't dominate mediocre at best competition this season. Really talented kid but he isn't going to impact games scoring as a freshman. He was pretty damn good in AAU ball. He'll be a rotation player day 1. Russell may start.

QUOTE (Brian @ Mar 20, 2014 -> 01:54 PM) I'm wondering how KBD couldn't even win a regional title in his area. Not like he was the only good kid UHigh had. He's expected to back up Thompson next season. So he will see major minutes.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Mar 20, 2014 -> 01:47 PM) If Ross leaves OSU will have a ton of trouble scoring again next year but then they should be back to being really good the following year when the 2014 kids become sophomores if Matta brings in a solid 2015 class. He's gone. Russell, KBD, and Kam Williams will be counted on to score a lot next season. Russell is super legit. Next two classes are a welcome reset.

QUOTE (fathom @ Mar 20, 2014 -> 01:38 PM) Shannon Scott was awful out there today. Amazing how everyone from that vaunted Milton High School class has played poorly in college. Even worse. OSU chose him over Trey Burke.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Mar 20, 2014 -> 01:25 PM) He drove directly into 3 guys while completely out of control. You are never getting that call. That's why i said fitting end. Happy and sad to see him go. Ready to turn the page on these classes.

Craft mugged. No call. Fitting end for this team. Happy to never watch them again.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Mar 19, 2014 -> 06:11 PM) The studies I posted showed the effects of marijuana on the cardiovascular system. There are real and do effect the body. I really don't care if they legalize it. People can do whatever they want to thier body. The idea that legalizing it will net the state money over the long term is probably not correct. We've seen what things like tobacco and alcohol have done to thehealth of people who use them and what that does to medical bills. With Obamacare do we really wantto add another? Thats why I dont agree with your point. It's nowhere in the same universe as tobacco and alcohol as far as health risks.why

QUOTE (farmteam @ Mar 19, 2014 -> 09:22 PM) Said during the broadcast that initial timeframe for Kane's injury is at least two weeks. I bet it's more. Looked like knee as well.

Eaton ruined by McEwing

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Mar 19, 2014 -> 01:59 PM) It's not as bad as tobacco, and supposedly has anti-cancer properties, but turning your lungs black can't be good no matter what material you do it with. Thats why you eat it instead. Edibles is a HUGE market.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Mar 19, 2014 -> 01:48 PM) Marijuana DOES contain a lot of carcinogens, just like tobacco. Not sure where you heard that. Look no further than the inside of a bong. Smoking anything is bad for you, however its not even remotely like tobacco. I use a vaporizer, it doesnt ignite the plant whatsoever.

QUOTE (Jake @ Mar 19, 2014 -> 01:35 PM) Is this true of eaten THC as well? Asking out of ignorance. I havent seen the articles he linked somewhere else but I assume its the horribly flawed Harvard study where people who had heart attacks had smoked marijuana once in the past year before they had one. They didnt study any other factors about their lives and didnt factor in the overwhelmingly large portion of our population that smokes or has smoked marijuana. There is also an article passed around about risk of stroke where they asked no other questions and when they went back and asked about tobacco they found there was the exact same percentage of users. The lack of any real evidence of adverse effects in all these years should be a pretty decent indicator of its safety. With tobacco or alcohol you can literally find the exact chemicals that cause disease like cancer. Tobacco is rarely ever JUST tobacco as well. With marijuana they have not only medical upside but havent found any real long term health risks outside of the norm. And its not to say that marijuana is "healthy" because any mood altering substance is going to effect you in a negative way whether its pills, alcohol or marijuana. However when weighed against other "legalized" substances its not even close. There are probably worse risks with today's supermarket foods and Gluten than Marijuana. Shoot, Soy-based items are shown to cause cancer, but people still drink their soy lattes.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Mar 19, 2014 -> 01:32 PM) Ugh. While the upgrade at coaching intelligence would be nice, he just seems like an awful person and you don't get more meathead than him. Heck of a college coach with no ncaa violation baggage. Would be a heck of a hire when Beckham is fired

QUOTE (ptatc @ Mar 19, 2014 -> 11:50 AM) This doesn't happen in the city. I think you painting with far too broad of a brush and are a little narrow in your view of religion. The city is blue and always will be. They may vote with jesus but jesus told them to vote democrat.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Mar 19, 2014 -> 11:55 AM) There are many studies which show the adverse effects of marijuana. They are much worse the tobacco for cardiovascular risks. You can pretty much guarantee a heart attack if you smoke it regularly. I posted some articles in another thread. One of the paradoxical effects is the TCH and the anti-inflammatory capabilities. It is prescribed for some inflammatory conditions such as glaucoma for this reason. The other side is that any other injury will take much longer to heal or won't heal due to the inflammatory process not occurring. So in the short term and long term it will have an impact on your health, which in turn may have an effect on the long term health care of the state. I disagree wholeheartedly. Marijuana doesnt contain carcinogens like tobacco and the heart attack risk you speak of has no validity other than a questionnaire aimed at proving a correlation between the two. Not to mention edibles is by far the largest market for people which wouldnt have any cardiovasular effect no matter how false the studies are.
