Running 2018 college rings postseason thread

Damn right.
Well done.

 

To answer a question from earlier in the thread, UMBC is in the America East. And the comment about Virginia losing to a team from a conference nobody could name was actually pretty accurate: I was proofing the sports pages last night and the AP writer who did the UMBC-Virginia game story said the Retrievers were from the American East Conference.

 

Not licensed. Appears to be carefully done. Doesn't use UMBC's marks. And rather swiftly done, I might add.

 

I’m not seeing the objection here. He was only saying “that’s why they play the games.”

 

St Mike of Duke is wearing enough flair to be a Milwaukee Deputy Sheriff

 

Or an assistant manager at Chotchkies.

 

“If you haven’t been in the arena,” etc.

I took it as a swipe at sports writers.

 

What was the quote? I can’t bring myself to watch it.

 

It was a swipe at everyone, cuz they were getting mocked from all sides even before they laid the turd.

 

I want to cringe whenever I hear "Cinderella", but the Baltimore Sun pulled it off about as well as it can be done.

U
Must
Be
Cinderella

Words were not stacked like that in the print edition. It's just that it took me about two hours before I even noticed the capital letters are UMBC.

The bad news: It was standard centerpiece looking instead of "Holy shit! The biggest fucking upset in history" looking.

I'm assuming it was done as a quick replate just to make the handful of papers that were remaining on the press run. But a shame that a real "scrapbook" moment couldn't get scrapbook treatment.

 

No 1/16 problems for UConn women:

UConn scores record 140 points in tourney win

 

They said this during the broadcast toward the end of the second half. (Raftery IIRC.)
