Is that her dunking in the avatar?

    You guys are used to saying that. It must come naturally. 

    You need to prioritize better. ;)

    Do as you wish. I saw it once, that was more than enough for me. ;)

The only thing that really changes is the names. Doesn't matter what sport or what team it's all the same.     If you have a good moderating staff they'll try to keep it so people are respectful to each other and the team. If not the place turns into Scout and everyone leaves except for the few who drove everyone else away. It's a simple formula that isn't quite so simple to execute.  It's pretty easy to over or under enforce to the detriment of the group. Many places end up under enforcing either out of an overly idealistic sense of freedom of speech or they tire of the battle and give up. Getting it right is a never ending and mostly unappreciated task. 

      I'm pretty sure I'm not going to watch it again.

    It was Joani who read it. Tom was too busy clapping on the court to do that. ;)

    Btown Banner Gremlins at it again!

    Why did the list disappear?

    Exactly

    That is fine, some people like that. I expect more from a guy with a sports show than I do from someone at a bar. If I want that I know several bars nearby that can easily fill that niche. Plus, I can spout off back at them. All I can do while listening to DD is call him a %^&^&%$#$# idiot but he can't hear me.  No, I'm not going to call in... 

    He is a sports shock jock... the lowest form of entertainment. Sadly, one of the most profitable. I can't listen to his show.

He was bearable tonight. Some nights he starts going off in what seems to me to be an overcompensation mode. I understand he is a broadcaster now and shouldn't show extreme IU favoritism. It's like he takes that to the other extreme some nights. Tonight was one of his better nights. Now if he could just change his voice. Something about it, kind of like fingernails on a chalkboard for me.

No idea bud. I don't even know if HN and Marion are in the same class. sorry

Would be nice to see JB2 in it.     Hope he gets to kick some Viking heiny! ;)

It's ok Charlie. I was just posting a different viewpoint from someone who has made his living from basketball since at least 1959. He might know what he's talking about even though I do find him extremely annoying. Besides, I'm not going to take anything you say to heart either. Pretty sure Dickie won't either.

I don't think this guy is on the train:  

I heard that Dick Vitale is getting tired of his espn gig and wants to get back in coaching. He'd make sure we got the puke series back even if he had to promise Cal we would lose. He'd even make sure that they rename Assembly Hall to RMK Memorial Palace, it's rightful name! 

  Let me add to this. If you're unhappy about something and can make an intelligent argument for your case I will either agree with you or not be the least bit upset and respect your view on it. If all you can do is scream like a petulant child then I don't have enough time left on this earth to have it wasted by your behavior.

    Some people don't care how critical you are as long as you're respectful and don't act like a screaming 12 year old spoiled brat when you do it. Is that really too much to ask?

    Believe me, if my friends felt that way they'd be sure to tell me face to face. 

    On internet forums sure. I have plenty of friends who are fans of Ohio State, Purdue, ND, Michigan, MSU, Ball State and a few other schools and I've yet to hear any of them say any such thing. Being on quite a few forums for different teams and different sports for many many years I've seen that the stuff you read online doesn't always translate well to what the general fan base thinks. We tend to be a more passionate and often more extreme in views than the average fan. For example, I don't know anyone in real life, IU or other fanbase who thinks Crean should be fired or is on the hot seat... it's all over the internet though. 

    We know you do but that doesn't mean that plenty of people do.
