Trey threw a TD (as a TE) in a Super Bowl. Cool for him. The younger brother was such a jerk his coach came to our coach to tell him his weaknesses and how to stop him in middle school basketball. You gotta be a serious A-hole if your own coach is trying to stop you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or you might need to eat more carrots. 🤷♂️ St Peter’s beating Kentucky last night was AMAZING! Calipari may be the most overrated coach in all of sports. He gets his pick of the 5 star recruits and can’t get out of the first round. Iowa State was 2-22 last year and just beat LSU. THAT is some serious coaching! I LOVE this weekend!

Talley56 Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 UGH! Carolina destroying Baylor right now. Given who is left in their bracket, they are probably going to the final four.

It ended the way I hoped. I spent a week in Chapel Hill for 5-6 straight summers when our boys went to hoops camps there. Really grew to like that town! I had lunch at a bar where some lady REALLY knew her Baylor basketball, and she could cuss like a sailor! I wanted to hug her and take her home with me, but I thought her husband or my wife might have frowned on that. Besides, she might have been armed, who knows? 🤷♂️ EDIT: Xavier gets old coach Sean Miller back! He comes with some baggage for getting caught doing at Arizona what everyone else was doing, but we should be back in the tournament after the last coach proved to be a better recruiter than actual coach. .

Pre Muppy. haha If you ever get the chance without too much trouble, check out an NCAA tournament. Not quite a Bills opener, but it’s four days of constant action and energy! I’ve been to a bunch over the last 20 years, and it’s incredible! I’ve been to a Bills SB, and the Masters, and a bunch of other cool events. The wildest time I ever had was the NCAA tournament in Orlando. The first bar I walked into in Church Street Station became my home base. There was a crowd of a 2-3 dozen guys from Wisconsin at the bar having a riot of a time. I’m alone (though tons of Xavier peeps are there) and happen to buy a few guys a pitcher. I was immediately “adopted” and part of the family. They have 3 generations of guys who pick a warm weather spot every year, regardless of where Wisconsin is playing. Each school has their cheerleaders and bands and they do a thing outside the bars before heading to the games. It’s like Mardis Gras, St Patricks Day and Woodstock had a baby! Nothing else like it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He told me that Texas Tech is no slouch team it is going to be a battle! EDIT: after conversation with hubby I have much better understanding of todays game and March Madness in general. I had no clue that ND as a bottom seed in their bracket and that even winning was never a given. In fact were supposed to lose against Rutgers, then alabama, Now Texas Tech. Its a cinderella story eh folks? WOW. Hubby is ND diehard EVERYTHING and I just can't keep up with it so Im glad he clued me . Now Im even more excited for today! He takes the trolley to the arena.

He was always a bit of a hothead and I assumed that whole Wisconsin incident was on him until I actually saw the video and realized the other head coach had grabbed him first and then that idiot assistant had come barreling in there shoving people and screaming then put his hands on one of Howard's players. He shouldn't have cuffed him right then when things were already running hot, but he didn't start it and there were multiple extenuating circumstances. It's more just watching the way he manages game situations, how he interacts with his players, the things he's saying spontaneously when somebody sticks a microphone in his face. His sense of awareness and his demeanor have had me unconsciously nodding my head at him. I just never expected that to happen. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Augie Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 Coach K losing to Izzo would be fitting. Izzo is a great coach. Coach K is a guy who should have won more championships given that he had his pick of high school All Americans every year. Like Calipari, he has done less with more to an amazing degree. Other than whining, he’s just a recruiter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
