Baylor getting cocky after 80 years of sucking. That's rich.

 

Ah, cut 'em some slack. As you said, after 80 years of suckage, they're entitled to a little cockiness. It won't last.

 

A bit harsh, but close to the mark.

 

Sorry, Moddy. As Whitman said, Hoosiers had absolutely no business winning that game. They shot well and rebounded well, but couldn't take care of the ball at all.

Reminded me of any number of Lakers playoff games where they had no business winning, yet somehow pulled it out (cue the loudmouths saying "REFS!!!!!!"). Then fans of other teams walked away saying "f%$#ing Lakers!"

Finally, they're once again saying "F%$#ing Hoosiers!"

For at least another six days.

As for our wager: just grab any photo of Bob Knight you want to off of Google Images. Then go to your Forum Profile Information, paste the URL for the photo into "I have my own pic" and there it should be.

And, if you please, caption it "Hoo Hoo Hoo HOOSIERS!"

Thanks.

 

Me and another guy here got deked. During one of the early interviews, the camera angle on Visser made it look like she was wearing a tube top under her coat. The top was at her shoulders and bare midriff. Wow, who the hell dressed her?? Then a few minutes later, she was back with a different angle. Turned out here freaking belt was the exact same color as her skin. It wasn't a bare midriff, it was her belt.

 

The Trojans don't want to be called Southern Cal, they prefer USC and they've repeatedly asked to be called that ... even put the request on the inside front page of their media guides. But the fucking eastern press does whatever it wants.

 

Mississippi sports teams prefer to be called Ole Miss, too. But your name gets spelled out. That's how it works. No one could possibly be confused as to which university is being written about with Southern California and South Carolina written out on first reference.

 

Twenty years ago Lesley was beautiful in person. Never thought it translated well to TV but the first time I saw her in person in 1996 I couldn't get over how pretty she was.

 

Fixed that for ya.

Poor Little Carolina's identity crisis. Outside the state when you say USC, everyone, except maybe some in Georgia, thinks you're talking about Southern California. When you say Carolina, everyone thinks you're talking about UNC. Yet they desperately cling to both as being their own.

 

;D

When they quit playing Pete Carroll and John Robinson-type plausible-deniability games, we'll consider it.

;D

 

That was a bad matchup for Indiana, which doesn't have a real point guard. But I'd also have a hard time saying that Indiana is a better team than VCU after watching that game. Granted, I've seen Indiana play probably 25 times this season and seen VCU three times. That's the one-and-done format for you, though.
