  1. To be honest, I have no idea. I don't know exactly when each school got it's Blue Blood status. I just know that by the time I was old enough to understand the concept of Blue Blood schools in a sport (mid-to-late 90s), UCLA, Duke, Kentucky, Kansas, and Indiana were generally considered to be in that tier. Personally, I don't really consider UCLA or Indiana Blue Bloods right now. But that's probably not a widely held opinion. To me, they're something like "Blue Bloods in hibernation" or "Legacy Blue Bloods." They need another title from this century to get that full status restored.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Well yeah, I wouldn't expect UConn to be beating anyone else going forward by 30+ points with over 5 minutes left.
  5. Please give Timme another easy dunk right here so he can talk shit again.
  6. 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.
  7. Which means they'll lose tomorrow, and Shaka will get a nice path to the Final Four.
  8. South already laid a pretty strong claim to the "chaos" region.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. Pitino maybe? Go back to the Big East in his last coaching stop.
  13. 4-year $160 million extension for Daniel Jones.
  14. 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.
  15. Don't think he meant literal third step. Isnt' it: Secure ball. Two feet down. 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?
  16. Hey, at least you might have a franchise qb going forward.
  17. Absolutely. Either the Chiefs or the Eagles get another Superbowl and Dallas gets another year of paying Zeke. I'm very bitter.
  18. Exactly. Hence initial dismissal of the statement that Mahomes should just "shoot it up" as if the Chiefs hadn't already gone that route before a single fucking snap.
  19. 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?
  20. You say that as if they didn't already shoot that ankle up before the game and were going to do so again at halftime.
  21. Sure, let Russ continue to give everyone food poisoning.
  22. 4th and 8? I think Reid goes for it if it on 5 yards or less in that situation.
  23. Romo likes the call. Cincy is doomed.
  24. Actually, that basically turned into a damn good punt.
  25. Hey refs, you sure you don't want to throw another flag and bail Mahomes out again? Fuck each and every one of you.
