In order to reduce the confusion for those of you coming to our humble abode from Dan Steinberg's stellar DC Sports Bog (much love for the shout-out, Steinz), here's why he thought of us after VCU's win over Duke.
Long story short, G:TB's own TJ has been on the VCU bandwagon since the jump, partly because we're all CAA fans and partly because his idiot savantry is particularly heightened when it comes to mid-major hoops. I'd accept Steinberg's kudos, too, except that I picked Drexel to win the conference right around the same time my colleague latched on to VCU.
yikes - things not going so swimmingly for teejay's great danes.
ReplyDeleteVCU's win was huge for the CAA, and huge for us proponents of significant mid-major inclusion in the NCAA tournament; having to hear the inevitable, mindless told-you-so's if the Colonial had gone oh-fer would have been agonizing.
ReplyDeleteIt was also huge for G:TB. Hear's to The Gospel According to TJ actually gaining some momentum.
Shit, I lose internet at the house for one damn day and TJ's a celebrity. Nice work boys.
ReplyDeleteof all the people i know, teejay's the least equipped to handle the demands of celebrity.
ReplyDeleteI like to think I was on to G:TB from the get go.
ReplyDeleteThe best part of the tournament for me so far is seeing the big green "T" on the floor at the New Orleans regional every time the ball gets brought up the court.
Yes. Look for Tulane in the NIT next year.
