SinceThe70s Posted March 20, 2022 Posted March 20, 2022 Was anyone watching Arkansas- New Mexico when TBS put the camera on Brandon Beane? No surprise, but it got a great response from the crowd and he acknowledged it. 1 1 Quote

Pre Muppy. haha Expand 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

Expand thank you for sharing those amazing times! I will report back tomorrow regarding his impressions of being at the game. 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. Wish I was going now actually. @Miyagi-Do Karate@Augie Edited March 20, 2022 by muppy Quote

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

Expand Yes, that interaction was top shelf. Changing gears. The commercials with Spike Lee, Samuel L Jackson and Charles Barkley are definitely top shelf and better than ANY of the Super Bowl commercials. 1 Quote
Augie Posted March 20, 2022 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

LeGOATski Posted March 20, 2022 Posted March 20, 2022 Yeah, looks like Duke has it. Well deserved win. Quote
muppy Posted March 21, 2022 Posted March 21, 2022 beginning the xanax drip in this ND-Texas Tech game.............back and forth lead changes and anybodys' ballgame 2 minutes to go.......be still my heart LETS GO IRISH Quote
muppy Posted March 21, 2022 Posted March 21, 2022 (edited) oh no this is not looking good right now...ugh TT 5 point lead 40 seconds to go....oh my.... it's cookies Blech 😞 what a shame they just made crucial mistakes/turnovers and TT with some key defensive turnovers ... one interesting note I didnt know was that if you were present for the ND game you can stay to watch the next Basketball game too. So he is staying to watch AZ vs TCU he had a really good time he isn't super bummed Im glad. Edited March 21, 2022 by muppy Quote
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted March 21, 2022 Posted March 21, 2022 Anyone watching this TCU/Arizona game? Just heading to OT now. What a game. Quote
LewPort71 Posted March 21, 2022 Posted March 21, 2022 I had to take a nap to watch PU and Texas. This game and TCU / AZ are way past my bed time LOL. Quote
