    I'd probably throw in IU with UCLA also, but Bruin has had a decent string of FF runs especially in the 2000s. 

    Maybe, but Blue Bloods are basically established via titles, not final fours, correct?  Duke for example had a number of final fours in the 60s, 70s, and 80s, but they didn't get Blue Blood status until K won multiple (3+) titles.

    UCLA was THE Blue Blood by the time Wooden left, but have 1 title in 48 years since then, along with 4 other final four appearances.  Would anyone say that gets a school Blue Blood status?  If so, Syracuse is also a Blue Blood since Boeheim matched that in his tenure.

    If UConn pulls this off, they get included to the Blue Blood Club?  5 Titles in a 24 yr span is pretty damn good. 

    I'd say yes.  5 titles with 3 different head coaches in that scenario.

    Some bluebloods *cough, UCLA, cough* have done virtually nothing outside of one coach despite being given ample time.

    They are no doubt good but Zags d fucking blows. Against a better team (us) they may find it a little more difficult.

    Well yeah, I wouldn't expect UConn to be beating anyone else going forward by 30+ points with over 5 minutes left.

  4. History repeating itself indeed.  Gonzaga beats UCLA on a miracle/bad shot, the media starts saying this might be their year, then they promptly get the shit kicked out of them the next game.

    Penn st looking good/hot at the right time

    I think this is about to be the “chaos” region.
    UH with injury issues. 1 and 2 may not make the sweet sixteen 

    And I got the 12 and 13 winning in this region tomorrow

    South already laid a pretty strong claim to the "chaos" region.

    Dear ESPN, 

    K is not at Duke anymore, no reason to keep sucking them off. 

    CBK Fans

    Eh, I think this time around Duke might actually be peaking at the right time and has some matchups that should benefit them.  Usually the pundits are just picking them Coach K and starting off the season ranked in/near the top-5 and basically held serve the whole season...which means now they'll just lose to Oral Roberts.

    Duke will probably get placed in the East with games in Greensboro and NYC. 

    No Greensboro in the East Region, they'd be playing in Albany.  If they want Greensboro, they'll have to go to the Mid-West region and probably have to deal with Kansas in KC if they make it that far.

    Radio was discussing fully guaranteed deals and said if the contract was full guaranteed the team owner would need to cut a check for the full amount and place in escrow. 
     

    No idea if that is true or not, but if so thats a big check 

    The rule isn't just for fully guaranteed contracts.  All guaranteed money in any contract needs to be placed into escrow upfront.  NFL owners could change the rule on their own (it's not part of the CBA), but have no desire to since it gives them another angle to not hand out full guarantees.

    The B1G tournament seeding is wild

    NW is the 2nd seed with a win or the 9th seed with a loss. That is quite the range 

    Same with Michigan - if NW wins, Michigan is 8th. If NW loses, Michigan is 5th 

    Nice way of saying the BIG is complete ass this year.  One team with fewer than 8 conference losses/10 total losses in the regular season.

  10. Just now, Augustus said:

    He caught the ball, secured it, got both feet down.

    No idea where this third step bullshit came from.

    Don't think he meant literal third step.

    Isnt' it:

    1. Secure ball.
    2. Two feet down.
    3. Complete a football move.

    before it can be called a fumble?  Maybe they were saying he didn't complete a football move, i.e. finish the turn upfield?

    Are you seriously making a fucking big deal out of a simple comment and just starting shit for no reason? Go back to mom’s basement.

    Absolutely.  Either the Chiefs or the Eagles get another Superbowl and Dallas gets another year of paying Zeke.  I'm very bitter.

    Huh? User name doesn’t check out…dumb fuck

    Are you seriously saying you don't think KC shot up Mahomes' ankle with a cocktail of whatever the hell is legally allowed pre-game and weren't already going to do so during halftime before that re-aggravation?
