Woo Hoo! College Basketball is back!!!!

[motely36]

Finally! It's a long time between the end of baseball season and thew beginning of college basketball season. But here it is! And my Dukies are playing on ESPN2.

Life doesn't get better than this.

1. Yippee!

I love college hoops. GO CUSE! :bounce:

[Reverend_Smitty]

2. Go Duke!

not a popular sentiment on this board but dammit they are going all the way this year

[Telly Savalas]

6. I hate to be picky about spelling.

But it's spelled K-A-N-S-A-S

8. Oh Telly.

I nearly choked while reading that post.

Rock Chalk, eh? (sorry, can't resist the poor Canadian accent)

:hi: :yourock:

3. I'm watching the Jayhawks as I type. Dayum Brandon Rush is good.

And Sasha Kaun (Sasha Kaun, Sasha Kaun let me rock you) is awesome.

In the words of Judge Mils Lane, "Let's get it on!"

4. WOOO-HOOOOO!!!!

Been waiting for April for this to start back up.

My name is Tyrone, and I am a college hoops junkie.

Hopefully, my Illini can take it to the final game again this year!

5. I was rooting so hard for the Illini in the finals this past March

I was so disappointed that they lost!

But I did win the Final Four pool I was in.

[Tyrone Slothrop]

9. Me too

I went to school there for 5 years and was Roger Powell's lab partner in a biology class.

I also won the pool I was in, but I would have gladly given up the $150 for an Illinois win.

7. Not a chance dawg.

Bill Self took his coaching skills and more importantly his recruiting skills down to ol' KU.

No worries friend...I'll send you video links to keep you updated on Julian Wright, Sherron Collins, and Brandon Rush highlights to keep you updated on those Chi-town playas and former recruits.

Rock Chalk baby!

[Tyrone Slothrop]

10. Weber's a much better coach than Self, IMHO

How far did those Jayhawks make it in the tourney last year?

Oh, yeah, that's right...


I--L--L!

[SIU_Blue]

11. Hey, where'd you get that coach????

Go SALUKIS!!!!!

[Tyrone Slothrop]

13. It's not my fault!

Blame Roy Williams.

[SIU_Blue]

16. yeah,

the Purdue-SIU-Illinois coaching triangle continues...

[Scout1071]

12. Say buh-bye to those Self recruits Tyrone. Gonna be a whole new

game now. How is that new class looking anyway? I'm watching 3 freshman McD's and at least one, maybe two, 2006 NBA draft pick as our incoming class.

They are young, but they are gonna be fun. I'll look forward to having this talk again in March.

But hey....at least we can agree on one thing.....we are both going to beat the livin' $%^&! out of Mizzou!

[Tyrone Slothrop]

14. Agreed.

Though I do feel a little bad about that. I've always liked Quinn Snyder -- even if he does look like he has a raging coke problem.

Haven't had much of a chance to check out our recruits for this season yet. But we just got a couple biggies for next season -- so that's good.

All trash talking aside, it should be a fun season. I can't wait to see Dee streaking up and down the floor again.

[Scout1071]

15. Agreed. It's going to be fun. And I've definitely been enjoying a

new found rivalry with Illinois. Started for me when you guys still had Self. I just remember how tough that team was when we lost in the NCAA tourney.

And no - I never get tired of bagging on Mizzou. No sympathy here.

Best of luck 'til March.
