Eight days. Eight days until the greatest weekend of the year.
If what March has brought us so far, it’s going to be an awesome, heart-pounding, climatic, breath-taking, edge of your seat, any other cliche you can think of, March the rest of the way. Let’s see what’s happened so far.
Cleveland State is going to the dance for the first time since 1986 and Rollie Massimino. Not that I’m a big Viking fan but got to root for the home team and that was a pretty sweet ending to the game last night.
Akron and Kent State both pulled out close wins keeping Kent State’s 20-win season streak a live. (They need one more win.)
OU won to set up a showdown with Bowling Green as they march towards the MAC title.
Sad to see Stephen Curry out of the tourney but I was getting tired of Davidson anyway. It wouldn’t have been the same story if Davidson made a run again. It wouldn’t have been a surprise or as fun. Now there will be another team we can all fall in love with and watch in amazement as they pull off a few upsets. We had George Mason, Davidson and now who knows, Cleveland State? Siena? OU? Michigan? (Seal, what ever happened to suite tickets to the MAC or even that Cavs game you could get suite tickets too?)
Speaking of the Cavs, I didn’t watch the end of last night’s game but on the radio this morning they were talking about AC’s announcing, and my god, I being tired this morning would have been worth. Priceless stuff, even for Deep in the Q himself.
Did you see Kerry Wood pitched well yesterday? And by well I mean he didn’t have any body part fall off.
Let’s talk about the 2009 New York Jets back-ups, other wise known as the Cleveland Browns. What the hell is Mangina doing? I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, he has taken over a team which wasn’t good and needs help at every position on defense and a few on offense (right side of line and possible running back, TE, and wide receiver). One way to make impact changes right away is through free agency. Mangina is all over that. But instead of going after big time players who can make an impact, he has gone after his former players with the Jets. But not the good ones. The back-ups. Guys who couldn’t start for the Jets are now supposed to come and start for the Browns. That is either awful GMing and coaching or it just says how bad the Browns really are that back-ups from a 9-7 team can come here and start, or maybe it’s both. When The Chocolate Dumpling and Savage were in charge they went after free agents. They might have always worked out, but it gave us fans something to be excited about in March before the reality of the season set in. Thanks to Mangina, the reality of the crappy season has already begun.
I set up a bracket challenge at Yahoo. Group name is J Beanie’s Bracket, group ID is 54214 and password is jbeanie. So please go sign up. The winner gets a guest post (possibly more than one if you want) and an autographed picture of J Beanie himself.
It may still be eight days and counting until the first game tips-off but it’s only five days until you can start filling out brackets. Who else gets excited like a boy seeing his first set of tits when they think about that?
Hopefully, OU can do better than getting beat by 34 to a shitty BG team tomorrow than they did on Sunday. If Miami makes the finals (which if they win tomorrow, they should), I will gladly accept the invitation to Seal’s suite for the title game.
Someone should remind Mangini that these are backups for a team that wasn’t close to making the playoffs the last two seasons. He’s going to be fired in two years anyway.
North Dakota State is the sleeper team this year…mark it down.
Seal, how about UK, you fuck?
OU is going to be BG b/c BG is going to take them too lightly and OU always seems to make the semifinals. Did you see the Plain Dealer ranked Tim O’Shea as the fourth best coach in MAC tournament since it came to Cleveland. What an insult to every other coach in the last 10 years.
Damman, didn’t you ask for a good Seal/Graig argument? I think that UK comment could do it, if Seal checks the site.
UK sucks. Getting rid of Tubby for Gilespie was a huge mistake.
How bout OSU? What seed will they get? I am thinking a 9 seed.
Any takers on who will be the first #1 out? If Oklahoma is a #1, I’ll take them.
W – I’ll bite on your bet. I’ll take UConn.
First off, W, SHUT THE FUCK UP! YOU DONT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT UK SO DONT FUCKING TALK ABOUT THEM! YOU ARE A FUCKING IDIOT IF YOU THINK TUBBY WOULD BE GETTING IT DONE IN LEXINGTON. Gillespie is coaching with Tubby’s recruits you stupid piece of shit. And Tubby won his title in his first year with all of Pitino’s players! You are a fucking Duke fan with no ties to duke, and you call Graig a front runner? you are a fucking dickhead.
Graig, im not even going to fucking argue with you, yes UK had a down year with 19 wins (with the SEC tourny still to play), but atleast they arent paying their players millions of dollars to do steriods and miss the playoffs.
W – once again, you are a fucking Dbag and shut the fuck up.
and fuck you too beanie, you arent invited to the suite for letting fucking idiots like W post his idiotic comments on the fucking site. Atleast graig knows what the fuck he is talking about.
Seal, maybe they should start doing steroids. It really is strange that even with a baller like Meeks and a shitty conference, Gillespie still finds ways to lose home games.
I bet that W looks like Kosta Koufos with W’s tattoo’ed on his forearms like his idol, BJ Mullens.
Graig, the guy gets double and triple teamed everytime he touches the ball and still puts up 25 a game. And besides patrick patterson, their center, they have no other scorers on the team… they are a terrible offensive team, but are supposed to have a great freshman class on the way in next year. graig, i like that you hate W.
I’m white… that’s my tie to Duke University.
Graig… I bet you either look like Brian Windhorst, or one of the guys I see walking around the Short North in downtown CBUS.
Speaking of CBUS, how bout them Buckeyes? Almost time for spring ball to start.
No, I don’t look like the Windmill and, no, I have never set foot in your fag neighborhood. All caps on C-bus, huh??? Fucking idiot.
Looks like everyone is turning on W here. Although liking Duke makes you a very unlikable guy.
Don’t lie, Graig, your down on the short north at least twice a week wearing your assless chaps hanging out with Michael Wiley.
I can take the criticism about like Duke. My Great Grandma lived in Durham and was 5 minutes away from their campus so I visited it a lot as a kid. You can’t deny that Kryszewski is a phenomenal coach. He just needs to get some black guys back in his program. Their top 2 recruits coming in next year are both white. They suck right now and will struggle to make the sweet 16.
LMAO Damman. Graig, do you ride down to the Short North or does someone ride you?
Beanie… looks like both our predictions will be wrong as to what #1 seed will lose first. Both our guesses lost in the 1st round of their tourneys (UCONN and OKLA). Which leads to my next question, who the hell is going to be a #1? I’ll take UNC for sure, but the rest is up in the air. If Louisville wins the Big East, I give them one. Does Pitt still get one for only losing 3 games and those were in conference? Who’s the 4th then?
Way to win that SEC Tourney game UK… really helped your chances in getting into the tourney.
