Against Football Thread

“LOL @ Dunadan! Too bad Christian Leatner (sp?) isn't still around to stomp on your players' chests! (do you remember that Duke/Kentucky game a few years ago? Boy, was that rude!)

We need a college basketball thread!”

“Christian (I am a flop in the NBA) Laetner? Yes, I remember him. Our two teams have played some great games through the years.”

“"Christian (I am a flop in the NBA) Laetner"

Ain't he the guy in charge of feading Mr.Jordan the ball? lol!”

“This appears to be THE COLLEGE BASKETBALL THREAD.

Arizona put it to Maryland and Florida. That was a shock.

Can't go wrong by being a Blue Devil's fan BobK, except that you have to SELL YOUR SOUL!”

“LOL! Yes, I have sold my soul to the (Blue) Devil! :-)

Besides, being an Auburn basketball fan would be way too depressing!”

“Went to Allen Fieldhouse last night to watch the Jayhawks. I can say nothing about them based on this game, but they look fully loaded this year. I would say it just depends on how hard they want to work at it, as to how far they go.
What is Fla ranked after the Ariz game?
Duke must be beaten. Can we get the Fla football team to play them?”

“Oh, and BTW BobK, with a name like yours, I would think you would be cheering for Texas Tech.”

“Even after retirement, I still love Sir Charles, BobK. He was great for Auburn BBall.

I'm not sure if their rating changed, Dunadan. I had heard that the tournament was exempt because it was preseason. Doesn't matter really. What I love about college basketball is the PLAYOFFS!

Duke looks to be very strong this year. If Kwame Brown had honored his commitment to Florida instead of being the #1 pick in the NBA draft, we would have been in better shape. Imagine, giving up Florida just to be the #1 pick? What was he thinking$$$”

“moooooaahaahaahaa!!

Senior basketball player at the University of Pittsburgh: "I'm going to
graduate on time, no matter how long it takes."

Chuck Nevitt, North Carolina State basketball player, explaining to
Coach Jim Valvano why he appeared nervous at practice: "My sister's
expecting a baby, and I don't know if I'm going to be an uncle or an
aunt."

Shelby Metcalf, basketball coach at Texas A&M, recounting what he told a
player who received four F's and one D: "Son, looks to me like you're
spending too much time on one subject."

Frank Layden, Utah Jazz president, on a former player: "I told him,
'Son, what is it with you? Is it ignorance or apathy?' He said, 'Coach,
I don't know and I don't care."”

“LOL! Lyra, those are hilarious. I can appreciate them when you leave Auburn out of it! ;-)

Arclite, Barkley was the high point of Auburn basketball. They have not been very good since. Pre-season picks say AU should be included in the NCAA tourney field, so maybe they will have a little something this year. Maybe.”

“oooohhh, Auburn is a place, i'm soooo slow! hahaha, i thought it was an adjective or whatever, describing my joke! oopsie :-)”

“IMHO they should confine basketball to March only and air collage hockey in it's place.”

“Auburn basketball is not as much of a joke as Duke football.

Gosh darn it! I just can't seem to help myself.”

“A hockey collage could be interesting. A few teeth, some torn jerseys, all on a background of blood. Do you have one, Nigal?
Auburn is a team a real fan would root for, instead of getting on the Duke bandwagon. Ooops, I said I would back off.”

“LOL! Some real Duke lovers here I see! ;-)

Arclite, Duke football is pretty sorry, no doubt. I sometimes wonder why they don't try to improve the program at all.

Dun, for me its not so much getting on the bandwagon as it is getting caught up in the excitement along with my wife and inlaws. Having grown up in the south were basketball takes a serious backseat to football, I find it all (the Duke b'ball thing) very fascinating and exciting. If not for Susan, I wouldn' pay attention to college basketball at all. And in fairness to my inlaws, they have had Duke season tickets since the days when the fans couldn't (or wouldn't) fill Cameron. In my mind they have earned the right to be fans.

Funny story. I moved to Raleigh after graduation and was almost fired from my first job for asking the boss who Dean Smith was! LOL! Never heard of the guy down in Alabama.”

“DULP!”

“Serious breach of etiquette there, BobK.

Coach K? Never heard of him. Adolph Rupp? Never heard of him. Bobby Knight? A has been.

Them's fightin' words in certain parts.

During their 1999 run to the final four, Florida had the pleasure of beating both North Carolina and Duke. What a glorious season. SERIOUS BASKETBALL in that State.”

“OK, OK, Bob, I will again try to restrain myself. Like Forida running up the score on crappy football teams, it is just a knee-jerk reaction.”

“Three words, Dun......Unranked Ball State.....”

“Whaaaaaaaa!!!!!!
Yes, that's me crying my eyes out.
touche, Arc....it's your turn....

Hopefully, they got it out of their system. We had three players go down with cramps. It was hard to watch.”

“If you lived near Detroit you'd be against it too. D@mn Lions.”

“Hated to hear about it. Didn't see it. Had to do it.

We lost to some made-up team called the EA Sorts All-Stars last night. Awful...

I'm really rooting for the Jayhawks... until (if) they play the GATORS!”

“OK, Arc, it's a deal. I'll cheer the Gator bb team on until such time as they meet the mighty mighty Jayhawks.
I say.....did you see the Jayhawks beat the Arizona Wildcats? YESSSS!!!!!!

Bring em' on!”

“I am hoping that North Carolina gets it together. It's hard to see Matt Doherty having such a difficult time after being a great assistant coach for the Jayhawks. Maybe he should have stayed at Notre Dame.”

“NO FOOTBALL NO FOOTBAL! MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA”

“FOOTBALL SUCKS FOOTBALL SUCKS FOOTBALL SUCKS FOOTBALL SUCKS FOOTBALL SUCKS FOOTBALL SUCKS”

“TV SUCKS TV SUCKS TV SUCKS TV SUCKS TV SUCKS TV SUCKS TV SUCKS TV SUCKS TV SUCKS TV SUCKS TV SUCKS TV SUCKS TV SUCKS TV SUCKS TV SUCKS TV SUCKS TV SUCKS TV SUCKS TV SUCKS TV SUCKS TV SUCKS TV SUCKS TV SUCKS TV SUCKS”

“YEAH! you know....i don even own one of those”

“neither do I (grin)”

“How do you know TV sucks if you don't have one?

Look out, folks, KU ranked #2 in the nation and gunning for the Devils in the Blue dresses.”

“Thats why i dont have one....They suck! besides why sit and watch tv for hours when i can be loading a pack or starring blankly at a facinating wall?”

“Next test is Tulsa for us. Then on to the Big 12 which will be a killer this year. Look for 6 or 7 teams out of the league to go to the Big Dance.”

“I'm gonna pretend this thread doesn't exist.”

“shhhhhh! He's in denial....just let him be, it's easier this way...”

“Playing sports is fun. Watching sports is silly.”

“Hockey was pretty fun to watch before they started cracking down on the fights.”

“LMAO militiaboy! yes, women are all the same...evil”

“holy crap militiaboy----now you're stealing my LOGO???

bastard!!!

this means war”

“MLS champ game and then NFL? No thanks.”

“I'm against what is happening to the Panthers!”

“CG, they are playing the GREENBAY PACKERS for crying out loud (and I know you are), what do you expect?”

“THe Panthers suck worse than the Jags OR the Lions! Yeee-Haw!”

“Oh.... American Football.”

“The one that someone has to hold the ball with their hands so they make sure they can kick it.”

“LOL!

New England loses the championship for the third straight time. Pretty cool that they got there and this was another close one - but its still got to be frustrating. They are the 90s Bills of the American soccer.

Interesting coincidence that the other Kraft owned New England team is rolling over the Bills on the same day.”

“colts offense was stillborn for the second week in a row. unlike past years, their defense bailed them out again”

“Yeah Sale REAL AMERICAN FOOTBALL (you know the kind played by the Victorious Nation in the world)...(LOL)”
