3Bids4CAA: A @batogato Production

Our diminutive leader likes to talk about how we are the internet's fourth largest provider of CAA hoops-related content (or something to that effect). That may or may not be true, but one thing i do know: this little slice of blog heaven can be credited with the first known sighting of the rare "3 Bids for CAA" notion...

http://gheorghe77.blogspot.com/2007/03/march-sadness.html

In looking at that post, I realize it has my name attached, but I'm thinking I wasn't actually able to craft a post with that many words/thoughts. So we are given all credit to our lift-wearing friend rob. Kudos sir, because that March 4, 2007 post has now led to the movement that is the twitter hashtag #3Bids4CAA

Live it, learn it, love it.

Here's what you need to know (because I'm kinda in a hurry) - George Mason, very good (20-6, 11-4; RPI: 29, SOS: 61*). Old Dominion, very good (21-5, 13-2; RPI: 23, SOS: 72*). BUT, we need these very good teams to lose the CAA conference tournament. That is the only way I see #3Bids4CAA of having even half a chance. So, Charles jenkins, that means you taking Hofstra on your back (think Randolph Childress). Denzel, wake up man, we might need you to carrry JMU to the tourney title. Or random dudes at VCU I forget at the moment, who are probably the best bet statistically to pull this off anyway (and I hope they're winning their Bracket Buster game as I type this).

On that note, this weekend, let's first of all hope basically every single CAA team wins...and then we'll get back to you early next week with our Steve Buscemi-esque hate list for non-CAA at-larges clogging up the scene (hey, Boston College and Clemson, I'm looky at your sloppy asses).


*I used @aglock Bubble Watch of 2/14...sorry for the laziness.

    That said, I am loving Air Congo right now.

  21. maybe javale gets confidence from this and owns the second half of the season.

    almost got through that with a straight face.

  28. Over/under on Michael McGlone's paychecks from Geico: $150K. What's your bet?

    ReplyDelete
  29. Where's Taylor Griffin right now? Is he waxing Blake's Bentley in the lot?

    ReplyDelete
  30. not kidding - total conspiracy theory fodder at the end of the dunk contest. mcgee is the most creative dunker all night and he ends with that? fix.

    ReplyDelete
  31. totally agree with you Rob. Stern wanted Blake to win. He's a powerful dunker but hardly any creativity. That Kia is a total product placement from the League

  32. Is Brady Morningstar related to Daryl?

    ReplyDelete
  33. Favorite Kansas name, I can't decide. Is it Brady "child of hippies" Morningstar or Tyrell "really? I'm not black" Reed? Tough one.

    Missed the entire dunk contest eating and drinking and being merry and shit with future wife and my folks. though between G:TB and Twitter I'm quite interested to see what went down. Sounds like the Angel of Stern intervened. If he did, he did it for the good of all of us.

  34. You have the GMU and ODU info switched.
