    Stories and info

    Are you ready for unyielding NARRATIVE? Are you ready to hear the joy and glee in sportscasters and sportswriters respective voices and words because they have so much narrative to dispense upon? Are you ready to hear about how ‘This is how the Final Four always should be!’ and how you should just give in and join in on the slurping of the blue bloods and elites?

    I’ll watch … on mute. Though it could be fun to tune in to the various ‘homer-casts’.

    Don’t forget – not on CBS again this year. TBS is the Jim Nantz / Masters-vision broadcast (Tiger Woods is bound to be mentioned 10+ times – this should be a prop bet in Vegas), TNT & TruTv are the homer-casts. For some reason, TBS pre-game starts at 3pm … I can’t imagine not going insane hearing the same storylines over-and-over for 3+ hours until game time.

    Homer-vision is nothing new. ACCN has experimented with it for years. Verne the Hutt all but perfected it as I recall just a couple of weeks ago.

    I wonder if Grant Hill is sad that he’s on the “A” team and can’t go all homerpocalypse with Allah Elbownubby.

    Might have to drop in for MSU’s, just to pay respect to Mateen Cleaves. He gave us the Sparty helmet of the day after the ‘Nova upset. Funny dude.

    BSW apparently was honored by being invited to play in the your team didn’t make it but come play a pick up game in Indy NABC Reese’s All-Star Game.

    Incidentally, is it just me, or does it appear that Turner (far left) is doing some pretty heavy leering at our good friend Allie LaForce? Good on you BSW, go get her.

    Can ya’ll believe somebody actually planned a big “birthday party” for 50 plus people tonight starting at 7:00pm with no TV in the building ???

    Somebody is probably NOT going to be 100% pleased with me …

    Wisconsin all the way. At least Ryan had the nads to call out UNC-CH and Ole Roy. Used to pull for Duke before K and in his early years. Can’t do it now cause his defensive style (or should I say what he is allowed to teach and they get away with) and the flops are part of what makes NCAA BB suck compared to the NCSU-MD ACCT final style of play.

    Anybody but UK for me. I could stomach any of the other three winning it.

    Sadly yes. My extended family is notorious for that kinda irresponsible crapola.

    I recently had to contemplate unleashing some rather offensive remarks to get some of them out of the damn house before our S16 game. Fortunately the situation corrected itself and no bridges were burned.

    But unrecognizing family types are the worst. These also happen to be walmart Carolina fans, sooooo…yeah.

    Traditionally…

    One team does not “Show Up” out of four…

    It does not appear that team will be either Dook or Sparty….

    Seven straight stops by Dook..

    Tie game… with ten minutes to go…
    Both coaches will play to get to the locker room close if they can…

    Plus Frequent and long substitutions … resting the kids for the second half…

    Duke kicking it into gear. More talent on the floor.

    Yeah, one of these days/nights, the fact that Sparty just isn’t very good was gonna catch up with ’em.

    Looks like it’ll be tonight.

    Sparty absolutely cannot get into an up and down game with Duke. They will lose by 20 if this continues.

    #84159

    They’re gonna lose anyway, might as well go down swingin.

    Also, 20 might be a conservative estimate. I’m thinking 30. Shoulda bet this game, damn it.

    Duke was in the bonus 8 minutes into the contest, and Sparty is already playing their honkies. I don’t recall them playing even when guys started fouling out against Yum!

    ^Winslow on the bench with three fouls…

    Looks like Duke is going to roll rather easily in this one. Just more fire power.

    #84165

    Winslow only has 2.

    Coach K would NEVER let Winslow get 3 in this stage. He is their best player this tournament.
