KD in CA Posted March 20, 2008 Posted March 20, 2008 Not looking good for the A-10 early. People who had Xavier going anywhere might not be happy right now.
Huuuge Bills Posted March 20, 2008 Posted March 20, 2008 Not looking good for the A-10 early. People who had Xavier going anywhere might not be happy right now. Hopefully they can comback, still plenty of time. I need them to win this game.... so they can lose to purdue in round 2
erynthered Posted March 20, 2008 Posted March 20, 2008 Not looking good for the A-10 early. People who had Xavier going anywhere might not be happy right now. Thought you'd get a kick out of this.... Eight men's college basketball teams are in Tampa this weekend for the NCAA tournament — and their fans are flooding in too. Here's a guide that will help you tell a Husky from a Bulldog and a Tiger from a Wildcat. http://www.tampabay.com/sports/basketball/...ticle424543.ece
Bullpen Posted March 20, 2008 Posted March 20, 2008 I'll repost my comments in my thread over here for brevity-sake: So I go over to CBS sportsline to try catching the games while at work and I get put in a "virtual waiting room" where I'm in the "General Admission" line. For one game I'm #1300 or something in the Georgia/Xavier game I'm #44. They then offer the little nugget that if I had purchased the VIP pass I would be # 1 in line? They offer to send me a reminder NEXT YEAR to purchase the VIP pass for 2009 tournament! WTF? THEN, once I'm admitted past the "virtual velvet fuggin rope" the game comes up and it's got this soylent green tint to it and the game is barely watchable! Fuggin CBS... Glad I'm taking a half day tomorrow, so I can hit the pub down the hill from the Chateau Bullpen and watch the games.
BuffOrange Posted March 20, 2008 Posted March 20, 2008 Hopefully they can comback, still plenty of time. I need them to win this game.... so they can lose to purdue in round 2 That's what I love about this tournament.... Purdue hasn't tipped off yet and I already feel better about projecting them in the Elite 8 (until they lose to Baylor).
Realist Posted March 20, 2008 Posted March 20, 2008 5 minutes gone in the 2nd half and Georgia is still keeping Xavier at bay. This one will hurt.

Also, the stream looks good to me. The green tint is likely to having an old version of Windows Media Player installed.
KD in CA Posted March 20, 2008 Author Posted March 20, 2008 Thought you'd get a kick out of this.... UNIVERSITY OF CONNECTICUT, Storrs, Conn. Huskies Mascot: Jonathan the Husky. The first Jonathan arrived on campus as a puppy in 1935, attended a few basketball games, then was hit and killed by a car. Fans hate it when people . . . Ask them how things are going in Alaska. How to recognize them: This is a sweat shirts-and-sneakers crowd. They wear blue and white and tend to squint because they haven't seen the sun since September. Words they live by: "We got the beat!" They're not paying homage to the Go-Go's but to center Hasheem Thabeet. Secretly embarrassed about . . . Hartford. That's my state!

The green tint is likely to having an old version of Windows Media Player installed. Fair enough, but if they were "free" why can't we still get them? Of course our government firewall will probably prevent me from downloading the newest version of Windows Media...
Huuuge Bills Posted March 20, 2008 Posted March 20, 2008 Xavier up by 3 with 6:40 left, looking good.
Cornerville Posted March 20, 2008 Posted March 20, 2008 Xavier up by 3 with 6:40 left, looking good. FAR from over
KD in CA Posted March 20, 2008 Author Posted March 20, 2008 Xavier up by 3 with 6:40 left, looking good. Burying the 3s this half. Go Big X.
Oneonta Buffalo Fan Posted March 20, 2008 Posted March 20, 2008 Am I the only on that have Xavier going to the Elite 8? Not only that, having Kansas winning it all?
Realist Posted March 20, 2008 Posted March 20, 2008 Am I the only on that have Xavier going to the Elite 8? Not only that, having Kansas winning it all? I have Xavier going to the Elite 8 in one of mine.
Huuuge Bills Posted March 20, 2008 Posted March 20, 2008 Am I the only on that have Xavier going to the Elite 8? Not only that, having Kansas winning it all? Maybe not the only one, but one of the few. The way they played in the first half is exactly why i have them losing in round 2.
BuffOrange Posted March 20, 2008 Posted March 20, 2008 Am I the only on that have Xavier going to the Elite 8? Not only that, having Kansas winning it all? Umm, neither one of those picks is even remotely unique.
Oneonta Buffalo Fan Posted March 20, 2008 Posted March 20, 2008 Maybe not the only one, but one of the few. The way they played in the first half is exactly why i have them losing in round 2. I'm counting on them to bounce back. Hey, so far my bracket is holding up.
Chilly Posted March 20, 2008 Posted March 20, 2008 Fair enough, but if they were "free" why can't we still get them? They only give out a limited number. Basically, they are trying to reward people who use CBS' products by letting them get in ahead of others. They had advertisements on CBS, cbs.com, sportsline.com, etc to sign up for a VIP pass.
the_franchise Posted March 20, 2008 Posted March 20, 2008 So Xavier is going to beat Duke? Doubtful, but I do have them making it to the Sweet 16.
Huuuge Bills Posted March 20, 2008 Posted March 20, 2008 I'm counting on them to bounce back. Hey, so far my bracket is holding up. I should hope so, if you had a 1, 3, and 5 seed losing in the first three games, i can't imagine how bad the rest of your bracket would be.
