College basketball thread...

But I'll shake the shit out of one [Chris Rock]

 

Compared to Dick Paparo, Valentine isn't even close.

Paparo never did the pregame routine that referees go through - he got the others on his crew to do it - but he made absolutely sure to scan out where the cameras were placed in the gym.

 

Froggie!
The bane of my days on the beat.
He did get Boeheim to throw a chair at a BE tournament press conference back in 1984.

 

How the team I cover is full of fail. I called in the truncated version the old fashioned way given the other issues.

 

I'd love to see Paparo work a few NBA games and call walking as strictly as he called it in his college games just to see the looks of consternation from the players and coaches.

 

The official word is that Lawson won't play for North Carolina tonight against Duke.

 

I haven't watched Duke a ton this year, but for them to be shooting the 3 like this is amazing. The guards are doing a number on UNC.

 

For those of you with Raycom, you're the lucky ones.
ESPN is treating is as DICKIE V RETURNS with the game as a backdrop.

 

That is if you consider getting Billy Packer lucky.

 

Dookie V is about to blow his throat out again. Probably would have helped him to get a few warmup games before taking on Duke-Carolina.

 

UNC has missed seven free throws tonight. Not good.

 

Not sure which is worse. I'm definitely relieved not to be forced to watch ESPN and Dickie V, yet Packer is extremely annoying.

Oddly though, he hasn't driven me to turn on Woody Durham, yet.
