NCAA Thursday Open Thread
Until this collective group sacks up and schedules a maxi-summit in Vegas for the first weekend of the NCAA tournament, I guess we will just have to congregate in this little corner of cyberspace to track the rise and fall of the hopes of college basketball players, fans, and bettors across the country.
Just to get you in the mood and for the specific enjoyment of mid-major fans and Mark, here is the 2006 “One Shining Moment”.
whitney and i, like many red-blooded american males, used to make a habit of taking the first friday of the tournament off work and hunkering down to drink all day and watch hoops. i miss those days.
I’m taking tomorrow off. Working from home since about 2 this afternoon. Though my kids 5:15 soccer practice is fucking things up a bit.
I’ll go with James Worthy, Eric Dickerson and Chris Sabo for their respective sports.
Ironically enough, I was invited to a new pickup game on Tuesday night and one of the guys was rocking Rec specs. Surprisingly, he was in his 20s. Unsurprisingly, he was a Johnny Try Hard.
Rob + Whitney, your priorities are out of whack Me, KQ and the other cougars in the outfield will be enjoying a Friday free from work and full of NCAA hoops
zed, i lost respect for larranaga after he went to miami and vocally criticized mid-majors’ schedule strength while lobbying for an ncaa berth. disingenuous as fuck from a guy who knew damn well how hard it is for mids to get games from bigs.
