14-15 Basketball352

Comrade 76 and Lenin Cat are out serving the proletariat, so it’s up to me to pseudo-preview today’s beating. The Cards are somewhat challenged offensively, at least based on what I saw last weekend in Hooville (a game that also lacked the injured Justin Anderson, for the most part). So it surprised me to see that Colonel Sanders’ men are favored by 11.5 today. The Vegas scrilla must really suspect we are on the verge of giving up. I suppose we shall see.

    It’s Valentine’s Day. Time to open the proverbial box of chocolates and see what we get this time.

    Solid preview I thought. We’re due…so we got that going for us.

    I don’t think we are giving up, we just aren’t good enough.

    We have one win left (VT), maybe two (Syracuse).

    Like a Whitman’s Sampler, but with feces. I bet you can find those in Germany. Or Japan. They sell used undies in vending machines there, I hear tell.

    Brilliant insight.

    Two more shots for a special win. I dread the idea of going to Orange County in 10 days desperate to save the season. That is a recipe for disaster.

    It would be nice to win this one, but our track record leads one to believe this will be a bad loss. Our three double digit losses this season have been to “defense first, last, and always” teams – UVA, WVU and Cincy.

    It is shaping up to be a special day. The #12 Heels taking a severe whipping from Pitt. I suppose that qualifies as a wtf loss for them? But not really.

    ^I was going to express a similar sentiment were I able to put up a thread today. The guys have fought to the bloody end in every contest. There’s been plenty of head-scratching play, but ‘giving up’ hasn’t been in this team’s vocabulary.

    Regardless of where or how the season winds up, I really hope they’re rewarded with at least a couple of more victories for their collective efforts. Selfishly, it would feel good to be happy for them after a game 🙂

    Clemson has better basketball program than we do. That is sad.

    The “give up” refers to the 11.5 spread. Seems like easy money for us to cover that if we have NOT given up. Even if it’s not particularly close, should be like 50-40.

    How many minutes of our game will we miss while Dookie V sucks off the Blues while Kentucky trots out its walkons?

    Gotta love Cal’s interviews. Now play ball! I still get pumped up just like I’m ready to run down the tunnel.

    ^Sorry! My ‘giving up’ post was not in reference to your title post 🙂

    Some context from me would’ve helped I guess.

    No doubt, the Shadow Pack ™ are loaded for bear this year. Not much way for me to make money on ’em in the office pool this year, though.

    Let’s see….Clemson has been to the NCAA tournament never in the last three years, and we’ve been three times…..

    Who’s the better program again?

    Edit: I was going to concede that they’re having a better season, but we’re 55 on kenpom and they’re 81.
