Running NCAA men's tournament thread 2012

Indiana beat Miami the other night in the NBA. Is Indiana better than Miami?

We had this throw down after the Notre Dame-South Florida football game. It was silliness then, and it's silliness now.

 

Here is a year when Kentucky was robbed of a national championship in football.

Comparing it to the NBA, MLB or anything else is beside the point. People like the NCAA tournament BECAUSE it's different. It's the only one-and-done format out there (except NFL), and it's the only one where there are going to be such wide disparities in talent. The idea that Lehigh can take on Duke with 15 players who wouldn't have a prayer of ever making Duke's 15-man roster, that kind of showdown really doesn't even take place anywhere else in the sports world.

There really aren't Cinderellas in professional sports. They all get paid. Lots.

 

In the playoffs, Dick. In the playoffs.

Coaches prepare their entire seasons to be ready to play their best football in the playoffs.

 

Except Marty Schottenheimer.

 

Thanks for the clarification. This can be particularly true in pro sports, where records are not always as important as putting together the right roster for the playoffs. In college, you're trying to find the right rotation and roles for guys. Can be a season-long experiment.

 

Playoffs, Dick.

Have you ever heard the expression "they don't play the Super Bowl in October?" From your posts, I don'tthink you have or you do not understand it.

 

Or Charger head coaches.

 

You made a blanket statement that was easily misunderstood.

Then you clarified it.

Don't blame me for your sloppiness.

 

At what point were Zag and I posting about the regular season?

 

I don't understand why you can't just clarify and move on.

Everything has to turn into a "thing" with you.

It's exhausting.

 

I, for one, know exactly where I was when George Mason beat UConn.
