Most disturbing trend: number of basketball and football players 20 years old or younger who are named Shaquille.


I'll know I'm old when the LeBrons start coming up through the college ranks.

The West is so open for Arizona now. Beat Harvard and win 2 games in Pac-12 country? Jesus.

I'm too old to be laughing at the name "Wayne Tinkle". And yet....

Thing is, it wasn't even much of a collapse. They missed one free throw (out of about 8 down the stretch) and then had that ugly turnover. The rest of the last 2:00 they did all you could expect. But then the #317 3-point shooting team hit three in a row.

Damn, that St. Mary's game got interesting in a hurry. Would have loved to see that last shot go in for Dellavedova. And we're rooting for this Davidson upset, right? I suppose it's an upset. Again, worst bracket ever. If your 8-seed is a 5 point favorite and your 3-seed is a 3 point favorite, you ...

That's a mercy killing. St. Mary's could barely stand up at times in the second half. IzzoBall might have sent a few of them to the hospital.

Whoa, whoa whoa, stop the clock! The Wichita State coach makes $1 million in base salary? It wasn't that long ago that I made more than your typical mid-major hoops coach. At least that profession had their salary keep up with inflation. Shit, iirc Ben Howland's first contract in Westwood had a low...

This guy Willman has classic old guy game--he can't miss from that spot.

Is Brad Stevens not going to move on to a bigger program, unless the Hoosier job opens up? Coach K's replacement. There's a very strong sentiment for that around here. Some people think it might be a contest of whether Roy Williams or Coach K retires first - whoever gets first shot gets Stevens. An...

Of people with electricity and Facebook, at least.

The team one is a little messy but I like the conference one.




The B1G is kinda ridiculous, like the Soviet Bloc.

is there no iOS app? Useless.

Hearing Jim Nantz do that Hardcore Pawn promo, I could almost hear the Masters piano in the background.

Are reminders important or are you simply trying to keep everyone on the same page in real time. I use Evernote for personal notes and storage, but it does not integrate with outlook or use reminders as a feature.

LIU has got to have the worst font in this whole shootin' match.

Would you go with sage over rosemary for roasting potatoes?

...

Yeah, that was a good game. Too bad A&T will now score 35 against Louisville.

Man, what a letdown.

I guess they are not billing this as Pomeroy's #317 offense (A&T) versus the #303 defense (Liberty)? Looks so far like bad offense beats bad defense.

The third Tuesday in March belongs to truTV.

Although I'll acknowledge that insurance costs to operate a football team are going to be astronomical before too long, if it's not too early to merge my two threads.

Nope. But does it happen? Also, note that I'm pointing out that undergraduate athletes are in a similar economic situation as grad students, post-docs and medical interns. That's a pretty sweet deal for an undergrad. I think the real problem is that collusion between colleges and pro leagues has pr...

Right, I think the bigger story here was how money that isn't being spent on players is being spent instead on things that provide little to no real value. That the idea that schools lose money is bogus because they're always going to spend what they take in, and if you don't have real expenses, the...

I agree. Zero would really suck (because it would also be 3 points for CR). One at least keeps CR at bay, and we just have to hope to be healthier and better in the summer.

Was his pick really eloquent or something?

I will log out so you can fix it. Thanks

Is it a problem if I re-registered with all smaller case letters and the original Rex in the database has a capital R?
