  1. Your take is somewhere between stupid and moron on the idiot spectrum. I had to fix (bold) your post because it made no sense and does not reflect my opinion. The fact that you cannot fathom why a programs elite 8, final 4 and title appearances (and wins) is the measuring stick for top programs, tells us all that you are working with an extra chromosome. Now that I know you have 23 chromosomes, I want to tell you that i think you are an inspiration and a hero.
  2. craig robinson
  3. you talking about keilan?
  4. i just saw our opt out / injury list for this game. If accurate, it's a huge list.
  5. you need a link to some streams? not sure we can post those so pm me if so.
  6. Reese is only open Fri-Sun
  7. i like your post. my tiers are a bit different tier 1 - duke, unc, ku, kentucky, uconn, ucla. duke has more titles than anyone since 1991. they are definitely tier 1. ucla has a combined 9 elite eight and final 4 appearances since 1996. that's one appearance every 3 years on average. uconn has 3 titles since 2004. tier 2 - nova, michigan state, baylor, michigan, UH, gonzaga. jay wright is retired and is why i don't have nova in tier 1. tier 3 - florida, louisville, . when guys like billy donovan and pitino leave, their programs inevitably fall off. not even sure if this tier should exist and maybe they should all just be lumped in with 'next tier' instead. however, florida and louisville have fairly recent titles. next tier: teams like ohio st, Texas. i agree with what you posted, p5 teams and mid majors that consistently make the tournament are in this tier. I would add, a lot of schools are in this tier. ohio state had a pretty good run from 2007-2013 but hasn't sniffed a sweet 16 since 2013. we haven't been to a sweet 16 in 14 years.
  8. i didn't realize ucla had that many elite eight and final four appearances since their last title.
  9. usf doesn't have anything to do with us not being a top 5 program. let's look at the last 21-22 title winners and the runners up (far right column). how many times do you see us in there?
  10. Nope. I argued that titles from a long time ago may not be worth much and that more recently, duke has the most titles of anyone. see below.
  11. Winning championships doesn't have much to do with being a top 5 national gig?
  12. This is one way to come up with a list: total championships.
  13. How much does recency matter? duke has 5 titles in the last 31 years, N. Carolina has 4 and Kentucky has 3 (I think). I hate duke but they have to be top 5, at least during the last 3 decades. UCLA has something like 11 or 12 titles all time, more than anyone else - they just crushed it during those wooden years. However, their last title was 1995. Just by sheer # of titles I would have a hard time putting any program above ucla from a historical context. However, 1995 was a long time ago.
  14. Our definition of top five programs are clearly different. Titles, final four appearances, elite eight appearances, sweet sixteen appearances. Top-five programs accomplish that with some measure of consistency. I would think a national title gets the most weight and we have zero of those.
  15. Since 1939, two teams from Texas have won an NCAA Men's title. We aren't one of them.
  16. getting a bernie madoff feeling on that guy
  17. best part of that was the fully loaded, top-of-the-line-saturn
  18. fayettville sucks, starksville sucks, oxford is meh, lexington sucks, collie station - we all know that shithole, fuck that shithole norman. Nashville is cool, never been to tuscaloosa. outside of chewacla state park, auburn alabama mind as well be waco and don't forget you are still in the fucking shithole state of alabama, never been to gainesville, never been to columbia missouri columbia south carolina is actually decent as long as you can get past the confederate statues and don't let the daughters of the confederacy handing out pamphlets bother you. did i miss any schools?
  19. i put a few bucks on AF for that very reason. figured baylor wouldn't gaf and so far so good
  20. have some family outside of pittsburg and i've declined numerous cold af / blizzard steelers games over the years. never understood why people are willing to freeze their ass off to watch a game.
  21. being illiterate is nifty fully aware he said alliteration, not illiterate. just having fun
  22. I agree 100%. It does sound stupid to think adult interactions are the equivalent of an interaction between an adult and child.
