It’s that time of year again.  Christmas morning for me.   The beginning of a new college basketball season is almost here.   To the new posters feel free to stop in and post in this thread anytime.  There will always be a hoops junkie  in here watching and posting.  To the lurkers who don’t post jump on in here and post.   To the veteran poster who make this thread awesome I can’t wait to experience the buzzer beaters and great games that we are in store for.   Just a heads up this thread won’t turn into a pissing contest between Woody haters and Woody defenders.  This thread runs smooth if IU is rolling and runs smooth if IU stinks up the court.   You got other threads to post that stuff in. It won’t last long in this one.

Texas at Ohio State is a really solid watch; curious about the two OSU bigs - that's got my big screen covered and is before my bedtime. Good stuff for night one.

I know it’s a painful subject around these parts, but really looking forward to the dawn of the Josh Schertz era at SLU. Getting to see them live against LMU in a couple of weeks.

IU Indy up 22-6 with 10:53 to go in the first half

Got a good one on YouTube.  Field of 68 showcase.   S Illinois up 1 on Charleston at the under 16 timeout in the second half

I still can’t get my mind around Chris Mack at C of C.

Charleston is pulling away.   That big man they got is a stud

I should have asked before, but the photo is fascinating.

Where does mission control commander Usps sit for maximum viewing? Does the commander's chair swivel? Otherwise, it appears that the front row limits visibility of two of the five screens.

And, is mission control padlocked or is access limited or forbidden during game watching, and if so, how does sustenance enter mission control?

Couple things, both re: your main screen...

1) The Fo68 commercial with Dauster is about to send me over the edge.

2) I told myself watching SLU wouldn't hurt. It hurts. Bad. Need our boys to come out hot tonight against Stu's squad.

A view from the front to back.  I sit in the spot right under the projector.  From that spot I can see them all real nice.  It’s also the prime spot to watch movies with the surround sound.  I sat up all the surround for that spot.    Door is never locked and kids can come and go as they please.  Usually they are doing their own stuff upstairs.    We recently hung 3 of the 4 TVs just go to figure out which tv mount to use for the other one.   There is a window right there

Just realized that Texas A&M CC is a pretty solid small school. Won 20 last year and returns it's top three scorers. 

Wouldn't be surprised if they give Purdump far more of a game than that 24.5 point spread would indicate.

I’m over that  commercial already 

definitely stings big time especially that stretch where swope and Robbie were bombing threes.    The owls are going down….

maybe…

not sure what to expect from  the Trees

So incredibly on-point. 

FWIW, on this board I try to be the rational optimist, but during a game?

My wife: "Do you HAVE to yell at the tv? It's just a game!" while Milo the dog hides under the furniture.

Swope for 3.   Santa Clara up 3 with 2:36 to go.    Robbie twisted his ankle again.   Delivering on opening day.

Told a friend earlier that I think it'll be more fun than Lansing ball, but nowhere near as good as Schertz ball which I'd consider a net positive. Hopefully the stream doesn't suck because this is about as good as it'll get for ISU in the non-con this year.

I couldn’t find a link for a stream.  Just figured I wouldn’t be watching this.  Who is streaming it?

I accessed this through the Athletes in Action site after submitting some basic (and fake) info. Haven’t tried just going straight through Youtube.
