UConn versus Chatanooga???
Why is this the second national game? A 1 versus a 16?
I guess I could pay $25 to watch MD, but that’s not gonna happen.

Thanks!
Although, watching the game on my computer is going to make it tough to get any work done.

I'm such a huge sports fanatic
and alot of people are going to think I’m crazy for saying this, but here goes: I could live my life without ever watching another college basketball gmae. I mean, I’ll definitely watch most Tournament games, and I certainly route for the Terps, but if someone took off all the college basketball off tv, I don’t think I’d have that big a problem with it.
Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself: "Mankind". Basically, it's made up of two separate words—"mank" and "ind". What do these words mean? It's a mystery, and that's why so is mankind.

can't stand the NBA.
Maybe the finals. Like, the final finals, not the 347 playoff games with more than half the league that lead up to the finals.
It's 4 in the morning. Too much to drink. All the girls look hot. So, the Nationals are Jennifer Lopez to me. —Julian Tavarez
When’s the last time you NBA hating dudes actually sat down and watched some games? The league is outstanding the last few years. LeBron James, Kobe Bryant and Dwyane Wade are incredible. There are a lot of really good teams. There are a ton of emerging young players.
But then again I hate the NFL. It’s just that I think people excuse football for being a bore because it’s FOOTBALL!!!!! and then go “I hate the NBA” because they haven’t watched it since that period where the league really WAS quite bad.

Being relatively
new to actually having an NBA team of my own, I find it a TON easier to sit down and watch a game with a team I have a vested interest in. I’m not that excited about a Tuesday night Sacremento/Toronto matchup or whatever but I can watch the Lakers beat the Thunder by 20 and actually enjoy it. err…not enjoy but you know.

Sacramento/Toronto is never on national TV. You couldn’t have picked a less likely national matchup. I’m not busting balls, I just think that’s pretty funny.

Me neither.
But I find the faster pace of college b-ball to be exciting while the NBA guys look like old, slow giants. Plus, I am not down with the music & lights & all that jazz they do to try & pump up the crowd.
There’s just something more earnest about kids who don’t get paid scrambling on the floor for a loose ball. I dig NCAA.
From the Land of Pleasant Living...

Calhoun may be the only college coach I dislike more than Coach K. Talk about your smug dickery.
I actually quite like Calhoun. I also don’t mind Coach K oh noooo yeah I said it. Calipari annoys the living shit out of me and I’ve never liked Roy Williams for reasons that are absolutely not his fault at all. Pitino’s another c[olt]s[ipper].
I’ve always liked Tom Izzo a lot even though we’re supposed to be sworn enemies, at least in the minds of MSU, who think they enter into the Michigan fan’s mind anywhere near Ohio State.

Coach K
redeemed himself a lot with me by sticking up for Maryland in the press conference after Duke beat UM. He didn’t have to do that. ACC sticks together!

He’s gotten very whiney over the last few years. Bitches when people say that Duke gets all the calls. Then he bitches when a few calls go against Duke.

they are right
I did not know this:
The school’s athletic teams are called the Mocs. The teams were nicknamed Moccasins until 1996. (The origin of the name is uncertain; however, Moccasin Bend is a large horseshoe-shaped bend in the Tennessee River directly below Lookout Mountain.)
The mascot has taken on four distinct forms, with a water moccasin being the mascot in the 1920s, and then a moccasin shoe (known as “The Shoe”) was actually used as the school’s mascot at times in the 1960s and 1970s. From the 1970s until 1996, the mascot was Chief Moccanooga, an exaggerated Cherokee tribesman.
In 1996, due in to concerns over ethnic sensitivity,6 the Moccasins name and image were dropped in favor of the shortened “Mocs” and an anthropomorphized mockingbird named “Scrappy” dressed as a railroad engineer. The school’s main athletic logo features Scrappy riding a train (a reference to Chattanooga’s history as a major railroad hub and to the song “Chattanooga Choo Choo”). The mascot takes its name from former football coach A.C. “Scrappy” Moore.

One of the greatest sports days of the year
Noon to midnight, nearly nonstop college basketball, and there’s always at least one exciting upset to root for. I love round one of the NCAA tournament.
I’ll love it more if Maryland wins.

I really loved UCLA’s draw. With the way they can play offense I have them in the Final Four because I think they can run past Duke or Texas. I worried more about VCU and Nova, and still worry about Nova. Not that I really care. Great games are great games.

Four consecutive Final Fours
That would be something from a team that remains underrated; there is a ridiculous east coast bias when it comes to basketball.
People got a bit too excited when discussing Nova simply because they’re playing in Philly for two opening games. That being said, they’ve proven themselves in the Big East, and that definitely means something.
