e-z money, baby.

everything i posted at the back end of the predicition thread was a red herring. i figured somebody would see that, it was so bold and outlandish.

as we know, opposing players and fans alike read these boards. i wanted that pitt team (and their fans) overconfident and therefore A STEP SLOW. wild effort, but i had to do something, anything off the wall, to help the team other than just praying for good shooting from the shockers. sorry, had to try it, whether it helped or not ('might try it again in the future, when the shockers play, say, tennessee next season).

simply put- mvc is underrated, big east is overrated (just look at ilsu at louisville is all i needed to see). pitt wasn't going to be prepared for what the shocker defense was going to throw at them, no matter how many big east games they played. i actually figured the shockers could/would win by 3 or 4 points.

shockers up

LOL.

But seriously -- isn't something broken when a team with practically the absolutely worst SOS in the country and a 180 RPI is in it? That just wreaks of format change.

NOt true. On the pre-game on the radio driving home to watch the game, I heard Jay Bilas pick WSU.

I don't know if this is validated to be from his Twitter, but if it is - Wow.

@JayBilas: Wichita State was strong. Pittsburgh was embarrassing. One team played Big East basketball, and it was Wichita State. What a beatdown.


If someone can, please verify.

This Southern pep band you can hear over the radio right now...just wow.

[wusphlash]

Just think, until midnight tomorrow night we'll be watching that score flash on 4 different channels. All day, all night.

Actually it was a lot more than that... oh... wait.. you are not talking about our 1981 beat down of Southern in the first round in Wichita are you?

[jocoshock]

Geez, I completely forgot to listend to Shocker Radio... just catching the interviews

He must be the only one (and he was not on the show I watched - there are too many - and my apologies)?

No apology necessary - I'm just happy to hope Seth Greenburg chokes on his dismissive attitude towards WSU.

I think Vitale picked us too, but like you said there are so many of them to know who all of them picked.

It's always been that way. It gives the #1 swws a bye but let's them have a warm up game.

I don't want the BCS conferences deciding which conferences deserve an auto-bid and which don't. I'd rather have some bad teams in and everyone controls their own destiny to get their shot at a bid than the alternative.
