    This is another one of those “I’ll bet the west side of Wichita” bets.

    -8.5 is hilarious.

        We can't go to the WSU game tonight, so I called the ticket office, told them to void my hard copy tickets, and to leave new ones at the "will call" window for Kobe. Naturally, he'll have to show a photo I.D. to pick them up. That's not to suppress admission, it's to prevent fraud.

            I'm with you. I just got an uneasy feeling.

              I had never really thought about it like that. There are a lot of redundancies we use regularly without thinking ("revert back" being one of the most common). However, you can do a lot of things with the basketball besides score (pass, dribble, steal, etc). If someone says "passing the basketball" do you cringe as well since there is nothing else to pass in a basketball game? To me, passing the basketball sounds better than scoring the basketball. Language is a funny thing.

                Totally agree that sounds like a total suckass coinage of Billy Packer, Jim Nance or worse, Jay Bilas! Hate it! Scoring is the abstract verb defined as the act of the player shooting the basketball in the hoop in the game of basketball. Scoring is not what is done to the ball. TV guys invent stupid sports cliches to make themselves sound important and uniquely qualified.

                  How far has this program fallen that we have people debating pointless phrasing rather than talking about the team/game that is upcoming.

                  I don't mind, just found it sad/interesting.

                  If all goes well, Doc is right and this game won't be played and I won't have to subject myself to more torture.

                  Maybe I should get back to work.

                    "'How far has this program fallen?' Haven't we all fallen? Fallen for the ideas that won't satisfy us? Fallen for the notion that we're just tiny specs on this giant blue and green marble? I tell you one thing that lets me forget that I've fallen...a Lincoln."

                        Don't understand the line movement as it's moved to Shox +9.5

                          I guess it means there's a lot of money coming in on the Shox to cover. Makes no sense to me.

                            Some people enjoy throwing their money away.

                              I'll speculate that Tulane might be missing a key player or something smells fishy

                                AAC 3 - 1 = 69
                                AAC 0 - 2 = 84
