5. Some people DVR
It's really not a good idea to announce the outcome of games here.

8. That's fucking stupid. So no-one can talk about a LIVE broadcast....
because someone recorded it?

That's NOT like a different time zone issue, where people have no other choice, because the show hasn't been broadcast yet.

12. I really don't care that much
Just pointing out that some people record things. This is a political discussion board so I can see why someone would come here with the expectation of not seeing sports scores.

14. Like stories that don't involve political discussions don't creep into GD......

Particularly on the weekend.

15. By that logic, we can NEVER talk about a teevee show....
Because SOMEONE might have recorded it.

22. Oh fucking relax, Francis
I'm not going to feed your need to argue. Like I said, I don't really care, just pointing out to a previous poster why someone might get upset about posting the results of sports here.

16. Mostly because they don't follow the team as loyally as they should..
Most of the fans in Indianapolis today were in Red - not Green. Maybe he would like to come to a place where his efforts might be more appreciated?? :-)

21. Tubby was not kicked to the curb.
He had ten years. He flew the coop because he could not recruit and had no one coming back. Tubby never went to a Final Four after his first team, Pitino's team, won the national championship. Tubby sucks.

25. (shrug) Well they went from winning championship to not making the tourney...
I'm comfortable with their choice.

33. Indeed they did.
Tubby won the championship the next year after Pitino left and never made it back to the Final Four again. Neither did the last coach, Gillispie, who was fired yesterday. That is not acceptable for Kentucky fans. Basketball is a part of their lives. Unfortunately or not...

26. Conference loyalty is stupid
Just some made up crap to promote pseudo-tribalism

Do I ever pull for NC State just because they play in the ACC?

Not just no, hell no.

Maybe if they were playing Falwell's school Liberty University

Maybe

28. I don't have a "Conference"
I pull for schools based on their own merits, not because of some arbitrary designation made by greed-heads.

31. I love this thread!
Edited on Sun Mar-29-09 05:59 PM by Gabi Hayes
so typifies DU.

seething undercurrents of ill will, rapidly surfacing under even the most innocuous discussions

can you imagine a DU version of Survivor?

how fast before it turned into Lord of the Flies?

my 2 pence....ALL the 'experts' I saw, listened to gave MSU about .000000002% chance of winning, and when I saw them get their fifth foul in the second half with less than five minutes gone (to none for Louisville), I turned it off, thinking it was going to be a route.....and it was.

hahahahahahaaaaaaaaa

bite it hard, big eats (no spelling error there, btw)

34. This Wolverine says, "GO SPARTANS!"
If the Wolverines can't do it, the next best thing is having our friends and rivals from up 96 do it up grand!

Go Green!
