I have no idea.

Funny you should say that, since its what you said in that thread that I took it as having caused him to leave.

According to his post in this thread he is leaving for a while. LINK

Thats pretty sad if thats what made him leave. What a baby.

Maybe we should wait to see who emerges as the better of the two teams before we start to celebrate wins among our division. Just a thought.

The funny thing is the calls didn't go their way. There was no bigger call than Okafor's second which was a complete joke by the way. Limiting him to 20 minutes had a far bigger impact than Randolph and Williams fouling out. Okafor made those two look like jokes when he was in the game.

And the funniest part of all is that Duke fans have actually been complaining about officiating. I'm sure they weren't complaining when the refs took Okafor out of the game less than 4 minutes into it by calling two cheap fouls, or when the refs called a bunch of BS fouls on Myles from Xavier leading him to foul out with 10 minutes to go, or when the refs took Deron Williams and James Augustine out of the game early by calling some cheap fouls on them, or when Duke got away with consistent muggings in the final 4 game against Maryland in 2001 (worst officiated game ever), or when Jay Williams got away with about three fouls in the 2001 title game against Arizona.

No, Maggette had taken payments before he enrolled at Duke and Piggie is not a Duke booster. Regardless, Duke had used an ineligible player for the entire season and should have to forfeit all those wins and take down the banner. Not that that would be much of a punishment but thats all they could do. The Michigan situation was far different and they deserved a much more harsh penalty then they received in my opinion.

Since you asked, it is actually spelled plethora.

I also like the Mizzou vs. Michigan game tonight. The best game money can buy.

Well, TO is going to be an Eagle. The Eagles will compensate the Ravens and 49ers. Story is on the front page of ESPN.com.

And if you ever want to, here are a couple more that were on the Murray State message board I was checking out earlier.

Actually its ShaUn Pruitt but yeah, he should add depth next year. I'm not expecting much though.

Wisky is and still will be the best team in the Big 10 next year if they have Devin Harris. MSU needs Paul Davis to come back or they will be very average. Illinois is returning everyone so we should be fine unless Deron makes the biggest mistake of his life and goes pro which won't happen. On a side note, I'm not sure who Archibald is referring to. Robert Archibald graduated a couple years ago and is playing in the NBA for the Toronto Raptors.

I thought UI got semi shafted but I'm not going to complain about that as I actually expected the 5 seed. Pittsburgh is the team that should be b****ing about the selections the most. They got placed in one of the toughest two brackets, and will most likely have to face a very good Wisconsin team in Milwaukee in the second round. Not to mention that I think Pitt should have been a 2 seed over Gonzaga. They were the team that got royally screwed.

Well, if you read this board I would tend to agree that Sox fans are obsessed with the Cubs. There was posts about them losing ST games for christ sakes.

N-I-T

Bo Ryan (coach of UW thinks his swing offense is the greatest thing ever) Terrell Owens Keyshawn Johnson Barry Bonds Sammy Sosa

Purdue lost to Minnesota in the BTT today. And the NW vs. Penn St. game is one of the worst basketball games I have ever seen. Penn St. has turned it over 20 times in the first half but is somehow down only two points.

That was just about the worst play call I have ever seen.

You Indiana fans better be worried. ND tied with WV with two minutes to go in the game. ND loses and its NIT.

I'm done arguing, but its the media that voted and time and time again they prove that they don't know s***. And the criteria for Big 10 coach of the year is not just based on the Big 10 season just so you know.

Good post. But you will never get me to root for a Bo Ryan coached team (although I do think he is a good coach), he just rubs me the wrong way. I will be rooting for State though. The other team in the Big 10 I would never root for is Iowa, to much bad blood, plus Steve Alford is a dick, not to mention Pierre Pierce. Edit: I won't root against UW either I just don't care about them either way. Iowa on the other hand.....

You know what screw it. I just realized I am arguing over an award that is completely arbitrary and doesn't mean s***.

You guys have a good team but will be hard pressed to pull off an upset in the first round. You never know though. I just love seeing Bruce Pearl getting beat. Almost gives me as much satisfaction as an Illini win. After hearing all about the Deon Thomas recruiting scandal in the early 90s I can't stand the guy. And I love that Jimmy Collins won't shake his hand.
