You cant complain about being snubbed when you lose 6 of your final 8. You might have played tougher games but you still need to win some of those.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Mar 14, 2010 -> 05:25 PM) Their resume is worse than both Illinois and Minnesota. I dont see how Florida's resume is worse than Illinois'.

QUOTE (Felix @ Mar 14, 2010 -> 05:25 PM) I'm shocked they're a better seed than the Gophers. I don't get that at all. Florida has a little better RPI but that 30 point loss had to have something to do with it.

What is Seth Davis smoking. He said Florida has been playing well down the stretch but they have lost 4 of their last 5 games.

wow, Florida in?

The more I watch this tournament, the more I'm convinced only Duke should make the tournament. Everyone else sucks. And poor GT fans. This is exactly why you fire the coach sooner than later. Give the team zero chance to pull something out of their ass.

Semifinals! Wished we were on the other side of the bracket though. Third game in three days isnt a good matchup vs Duke though.

Underdogs continue to rule the opening rounds of this tournament. Since 2005, underdogs are 15-6(If Miami can hold onto their 23 pt lead). Since 2003, underdogs against the spread are 46-23-3.

QUOTE (Brian @ Mar 8, 2010 -> 10:52 PM) Holy crap, did the ACC stink this year. Hope anyone but Duke wins. Yeah, outside of the Big 12 and Big East, all the major conferences had "weak" seasons.

Was really hoping Miami got to play FSU again. Nothing to play for and since its our rival, we might have actually gotten up to play them. I could easily see any of Maryland,FSU,Clemson or GT being in the finals against Duke.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Mar 3, 2010 -> 04:40 PM) Nice goal there to get within 2-1. Even if the US can't pull out a draw here they've looked solid. Neither of the goals for Netherlands were good chances, a dumb penalty and bad luck on that deflection. Beasley really impressed me (see what happens when he's not playing defender Bob Bradley?). Beasley looked nice today. Maybe enough to get him on the WC roster. Bad luck on the goals allowed but it seems like that is the norm for this team for some reason.

QUOTE (MHizzle85 @ Mar 1, 2010 -> 07:15 PM) Quick question, nothing too serious. How would you go about approaching a girl that you have a class with?

I would think you'd want to cheer for the team that is representing the country you live/born in.

QUOTE (kjshoe04 @ Feb 28, 2010 -> 06:18 PM) I'm the opposite. I'm not really a hockey fan, but I really like when it's 4on4. I think they should play that way for the whole game. A non hockey fan would say that. If 4on4 hockey isnt good enough for the NHL playoffs then it shouldnt be good enough for the Olympics.

Sometimes the better team loses. Oh well...

What a meltdown tonight by the Slovaks. Really wanted Slovakia to win just to see a new team win a medal.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Feb 26, 2010 -> 04:50 PM) Well, if Nabokov was bad, then I don't know what adjective describes Kiprusoff and Backstrom in the 1st period. Cub-esque?

QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Feb 25, 2010 -> 11:14 PM) Personally I think the UFC is smart in giving Lesnar a tough match right away because he is such an immense draw and coming off a real bad health situation that they can easily spin a loss to the point where he loses little drawing power and a win makes him look even more like superman. Well they dont have much choice either since he is the champ. PRIDE use to give all their champs a can once in awhile just to get their champ on a card quicker. I personally cant stand Mir, so I hope he wins so we can see the hype of Lesnar-Mir 3. And Mir better watch it, he said he wants Lesnar to be the first to die of octagon related injuries but if Lesnar crushes Mir again, Mir might suicide himself. The guy has such an unhealthy obsession of Lesnar that his life might collapse after another beatdown.

lol those guys just went with it unlike the "real" news people who freak out.

Really wished Latvia wouldve pulled that out. Cant believe Norway is hanging tough.

Maybe there wouldnt been a Miracle on Ice but the best team in the early 80s in the world was still that Soviet team. In 1981 that Soviet team beat Canada in the Canada Cup 8-1. And that Canadian team had Gretzky, Bourque, Bossy,Trottier,Lafleur and 5 OTHER HOF'ers!

QUOTE (Palehosefan @ Feb 22, 2010 -> 09:11 AM) A new UNC helmet, not sure what to think. That's only for the opener right? At first I liked it and now the more I look at it the more I dont.

Wow, Canada/Russia/Sweden all on the same side of the bracket. Yikes!

QUOTE (Sonik22 @ Feb 21, 2010 -> 10:39 PM) USA USA USA!!! Best game of hockey I've ever watched. That was easily the greatest empty netter i've ever seen I still dont know how he got the shot off. I need to see a slower replay.
