March Madness Discussion Thread

That video proves it! Zoubek got tackled to the ground and no foul called, its amazing duke still won with the preferential treatment Butler got.

[Akiyama]

God I hate Cowherd's elitism with college basketball. Seeing him and Gottleib (sp) argue like that is hilarious.

[Tyche]

Gottleib always owns him, I don't know why Colin always has him on.

[Akiyama]

Yeah, rofl. He's always making Colin look like an idiot, which in most subjects, he is. Most of his information comes from bloggers anyway. Amazing how someone with access to so much stuff that ESPN analysts usually get.. can be so stupid.

[Headspace]

If you're not a dynasty, he doesn't like you.

[Lucavi]

FUCK DUKE! I don't feel better, but dammit...

I don't think Purdue will be losing anybody?

Purdue is losing Chris Kramer and Keaton Grant, assuming JaJuan Johnson doesn't leave, which it looks like he isn't going to. Kramer will certainly be missed, but he's not one of the "Big 3," per se. They should probably be a Top 5 team pre-season, but we'll see how important Kramer really was. I'm curious if we're going to see a Duke-Purdue game in the ACC challenge again, or if they'll switch it up so that it's Purdue-UNC and Duke-Michigan State.

That video proves it! Zoubek got tackled to the ground and no foul called, its amazing duke still won with the preferential treatment Butler got.

Which video were you watching? I was watching the one Tyche posted where Zoubek pushed a guy to the ground by his face. The game was extremely physical obviously and a lot of things didn't get called, but I thought the calls were fairly consistently non-called.

Nah, he also likes teams from Oregon, where he most recently was before going to ESPN.

I love Colin's brand of radio, especially when he dives into shit unrelated to sports. My least favorite is probably Mike and Mike. My favorite, as stated numerous times, is the great Erik Kusselius. SVP is good too, but he's never on. I think Ryen has banked about twice the radio time that Scott has.

[Headspace]

I like Mike and Mike when they get off tangent. Colin just infuriates me most of the times. Ryen is too boring for me to listen to SVP and Kusselius is on on the weekends so fuck that.

Gollic upsets me when he talks about NFL OT and how it's better than college.

[Mizango]

FUCK DUKE! I don't feel better, but dammit...

I feel you on that, but my hatred for Gary Williams' sweaty ass and the Terps is unrivaled. Juan Dixon, Steve Blake, fuck em all. Everyone except Stevie Franchise, I cant even hate.

I like Colin most of the time, when he's got a point, but there are times when he either runs out of material or gets sidetracked by some e-mail and just starts throwing out insults at some team or fan base, effectively trolling his listener base (he does this to Ohio State and the SEC a lot, it seems). I find that really irritating.

I like Dan Patrick, but don't like Jim Rome very much -- his interviews are good, but his callers are annoying. Mike and Mike is meh, but is usually off the radio before I leave for work in the morning. I like Andrew Siciliano a lot, but can't find him on the radio any more. Petros Papadakis drives me crazy. Now that Stephen A. Smith seems to be off the air (around here anyway), Petros is the only guy I can't stand enough to actually make me turn the radio from sports talk to something on the FM dial.

I was just trying to provoke the Duke haters, but they're ignoring me

[Akiyama]

Colin's an okay listen because he's a different brand of radio, but I personally think he's an idiot in most of his sports discussions.

Mike and Mike are... eh. I remember there was a mash-up video of all the times they say "Mike and Mike in the morning" or something and it was just absurd at how many time sthey say that.

I love SVP, but yeah.. he's not on a lot during certain times of the year.

Dan Patrick is great. I listen to his show every now and again. Jim Rome can gtfo.

Meh, sorry, took the bait.

Talk radio has Oregon talking to Brad Stevens about their coaching vacancy. This one actually seems believable to me, unlike Tom Izzo and other rumors.

[Akiyama]

I hope he doesn't go

[Tyche]

The Amani Toomer interview is why I love Colin. His interviews are great because you typically get questions you don't hear sports stars get asked. The story about his elementary school going to Cal to protest was hilarious.

[Tyche]

Did Oregon suddenly turn into a great college basketball program, because they're shooting for the stars. I hope they're offering up a boat load of cash, because I see no reason anyone would want to go there.

[Mizango]

We ignore you because your state is your handicap. Talk to my wife, shes a real Dook fan unfortunately. Gone to games at Cameron, watched them play multiple times here in Charlotte etc.., at least you'll always have your TV right?

No shit man. They suck yet have that "go big or go home" mentality.

[Mizango]

I'm the biggest AC Milan fan on the planet. So what if I've never gone to a game or even know half their roster, as long as they keep winning cups baby!!!!


Replace AC Milan with Duke and this is how you've sounded every season. Shits old brah.
