WOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
6-5, Big Ten wins
CATEGORY ONE, WE DIDN'T NEED YOU MORONS ANYWAY:
Indiana, you suck. You had a great class and you still suck. Enjoy the NIT with PSU. Go home. Re-hire Knight.
Michigan, hahahha, you suck too. Go home.
Michigan State, I won't give you too much flak because North Carolina hit 60 percent from 3 point land in the first, and you were still in the game late, but still. Go home.
Minnesota, you suck. Portland's good, but you still shouldn't have lost to them. Go home.
Iowa, you suck. Everyone knows this. I'd tell you to go home, but no one actually attends your games anymore. I honestly feel sorry for you. Cully Payne? Get out of here, man. And tell Cougill to lose some weight. My word. And, seriously, find a role for Gatens. That guy is really talented and he's going to waste and it's a damn shame.
CATEGORY 2, YOU GET BUBB RUBB PICS, BEEATCHES!!!:
Penn State - 69, Virginia - 66
That's the only recap needed. I will post this picture constantly.
Purdue - 68, Wake Forest - 58
Wake led for long portions of this game, but the Boilers fought back and shut down Wake's offense wonderfully. There was a two minute stretch around the halfway mark of the second half where Purdue went nuts with great pressure D and inside scoring. JaJuan Johnson scored 20+. Hummel, despite a truly awful 3 point shooting game, chipped in 10+. Purdue plays ugly when they have to, but they get the job done, even without key guard Lewis Jackson (out for the season). The gap between Purdue and MSU is now just about gone. Purdue plays Alabama, WVU (should be a great game), and some cupcakes before Big Ten play starts.
Northwestern - 65, North Carolina State - 53
This was one of the more dominant performances by the Big Ten. Northwestern totally shut them down. I didn't watch much of the game, but Nash (guy in picture (I don't remember his first name)) is much better than NW players are supposed to be. StoopsMyAss at BHGP says he doesn't think some of Iowa's guys could start for Northwestern. Carmody's not doing all that badly. And this is all without Coble.
Illinois - 76, Clemson - 74
No Illinois image here because, well, let's just say you really shouldn't do a google image search for "bruce weber" if you're at work or if you're a straight male. Holy crap.
Anyway, Clemson once led this game by 23 points. And they lost. Illinois was clutch, sure, but Clemson once led this game by 23 points. And they're more experienced. And they were at home. At what is one of the toughest arenas in the ACC. And they lost.
So....yeah.
There was actually an Illinois basket that was scored because Clemson's Trevor Booker accidentally tipped it in. That's really the game defined.
Best coach ever?
Wisconsin - 73, Duke - 69
This game was so awesome it leaves me with scattered thoughts. Trevon Hughes (26 points and some plainly awesome shots) is the best senior point guard in the conference and he is legit. Leuer is really good. Singler is carrying Duke at times. Musburger is really annoying. Duke lost their first ever game in the challenge. Wisconsin actually scored 70 points in a basketball game.
Ohio State - 77, Florida State - 64
Meh. Ohio State played well, but Florida State can play really, really ugly at times.
And, so, in summary:
A hearty gradulations to all involved in making this possible.
P.S. Penn State is responsible for making the ACC weak and ready for a fall by beating UVA. Totally.

And of course, the lead on ESPN is ...
… the Nets’ utter ineptitude. (Though, to be fair, a team that’s within three games of going 0-for a quarter of the season probably deserves top billing.)
Wisconsin Duke was a really good game
I found myself yelling and everything (which I usually don’t do when sober).
On the flip side
I now know what link I’m throwing in my celebratory e-mail to my ACC coworkers this morning. Awesome.

That map is the greatest thing ever posted on here...
Except the Failsman.
"Every player we have, someone-maybe a parent, a grandparent, someone-poured their soul into that young man. They are handing that young man off to us. They are giving us their treasure, and it's our job to make sure we give them back that young man intact and ready to face the world."

I had the mute the announcers of the Wisko Duke game
Mussburger did his usual “just waking up from a drug-induced coma” calls, and the other guy was shamelessly rooting for Duke at the end.
“and he… shoots…. zzzzzz…….”
“DUKE IS STILL IN THIS GAME THEY STILL HAVE 3 SECONDS THEY CAN STILL…. damnit…”
“zzzzzz…. errm ah… what a fine game, a real dandy….”

when Bobby Knight has become ‘the other guy’.

I like Knight as an announcer
He doesn’t spew BS, he just analyzes the game very well. He doesn’t pull the Lavin “try too hard to be objective and sound like you hate the home team” trick and he doesn’t brag about the ACC like Packer.
He’s no Bill Raftery, but he’s solid.

Knight
Is very, very good, especially when he gets surly at the sloppy play.
I enjoy listening to him instruct the offense when one of the teams involved plays in a 2-3 zone.

I didn't think Knight was that bad
Musburger was disgusting everytime Single went to the basket. A man should not have the voice he had unless he’s Pringle.

That was a fine comment
You are a real dandy of poster.

Now, hold on there, pardner
I’m still young, and folks, wait till I’m more experienced.

That’s an actual call he made during a Purdue game.

As an
(over/under/normal) achieving white boy, you would think that Duke’s perennial dominant white boy would bring me pride, but for some reason I want to Marcus Vick stomp them. (not exclusive to Bobby Hurley, Danny Ferry, Christian Laettner, Cherokee Parks, Wojo, JJ Reddick, Greg Paulus and now Singler).
Why is that?
One man doing the work of 100's for the good of 1000's
Because they're obnoxious
But mainly, it’s the flopping. It’s the way Krweakiski has programmed them to draw calls from the refs. It’s the travelling violations they get away with thanks to crappy ACC refs. It’s their fans. It’s Dickie V apologizing for talking about them, and talking about them anyway. It’s the fact that they think Reddick is superior to Michael Jordan.
But it’s really the flopping. And getting fouls called on the opposing team because of said flopping.

It's also the fact that I cannot spell Kwzaski
If you spotted me most of the letters, I couldn’t spell it.
And how is it prounounced the way it is? It makes no sense.

It should be "Kryzzi zew ski"
It’s ridiculous.

I just stick with "Coach K"
Black Shoes. Basic Blues. No Name. All Game.
"Everyone has a plan, until they get punched in the mouth."
I despise that term
Are there not other “Coach K”s out there?

None that are more accomplished or well known.
I don’t care about a Coach K from the Bellefonte JV Team or whatever.
There are other PSU’s too, so should no one ever refer to Penn State University as PSU?
Black Shoes. Basic Blues. No Name. All Game.

This is interesting
jesse. and I had an idea a few weeks ago and I think I’ll set it into motion soon.

I'm pretty sure there are few other JoePa's as well.

Allright, allright, allright
I just hate “Coach K”. It annoys me because the man annoys me.
"I don't know. I don't know. [waves hand dismissively] First, you'd have to tell me what a 'BCS' is. I don't know."
by ReadingRambler on Dec 3, 2009 6:19 PM EST up reply actions
That is a more fair reasoning.
You can hate the man, but “Coach K” isn’t nearly as annoying or pretentious as “THE ohio state”. I think It is only Coach K because his last name is a train wreck to spell/say.
Black Shoes. Basic Blues. No Name. All Game.
"Everyone has a plan, until they get punched in the mouth."
True, but if the Highlander has taught us anything
it’s that there can be only one! And the Highlander teaches us all we need to know.
"In the beginning the Universe was created.
This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move."
For the same reason Notre Dame is hated: Arrogance
These toolios enlist to be hated. Because they believe they’re above it, and that it makes them stronger and even more elitist than they already are. But rambler’s right: the worst part of their righteousness is the whiny floppy form it takes.
Plus, they’re dorks. Not one of those dudes you mentioned would be described as cool if you were hanging out with them.
