[QUOTE=WuDrWu;413208]It seems possible that some of you might be happy happy happy over at the bj board.[\QUOTE]
Why? Because we judge players based on reality instead of the jersey they wear? I'm a WSU fan not a Creighton/other team hater. If that makes me less of a Shocker in anyone's eyes, well, that's not my problem.Comment

Not at all. I was simply commenting on the couple of pages of talk about Lil Mac in a Bracketology thread. Feel free to carry on.Comment

I took your post The same way. Living in Omaha, I try not to come off as ever trolling on this board, but this thread spiraling into a SoW thread really is strange. A post here or there about McDermott on Shockernet should be expected, but this isn't a bj board.Originally posted by WuDrWu View PostThere are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, and everything else is cream cheese.Comment

Not a lot to talk about regarding bracketology several months before the season even starts.Originally posted by WuDrWu View Post

OK, so it's summer and the season is still far away and we don't have a hellovalot to talk about.
If I had to choose between Cle and Doug, or should I use the endearing term Dougie, to belittle the young man, I would take Cle every time. He is one of ours. He is a Shocker. End of story.
But when it appears that we cannot enjoy the pure basketball talents of a player from another team, but only find ways to degrade him, we are ignoring one of the true great things about any sport and that is the competition between both great athletes and teams. Tear down the opposing team's players and the opposing team as well, and you have cheapen your victory and/or even worsened your loss, now haven't you.
The battles between Wilt and Russell were spectacular and undoubtedly fans of each thought their guy was vastly superior to the other. And this is the way it should be. Ya think, though, anyone describing the two referred to either as Wiltie or Billie Boy? And, I seriously doubt that there was a single BB fan of either team that wouldn't have loved to have had both of them on their team.
And now that we will not be playing CU or having to compete against their All American this year, is everyone really happy? Will you really cherish two easy wins (they damn well better be) against a much inferior replacement Valley team, with much less skilled players?
I, for one, will miss the fun of our very talented guys competing against and beating CU. And I will miss enjoying the play of their AA and watching Cotton and others in their battles to contain him.
But we do have several very good teams on our schedule and there will be some very good players to compete against. The road to the NCAA tournament is wide open. All we have to do is get there and conquer.Comment

Let me ask the folks a slightly different question:
Let's say you are the head coach for the Norfendike Nerfenbergers men's basketball team. Who would you rather have on your team, Doug McDermott or Jackie Carmichael?Kung Wu say, man who read woman like book, prefer braille!Comment

McD.
Carmichael was good but he wasn't special and McD is.Comment

You would think they'd know the most back of the bracketing rules. They could have created a buzz in Terre Haute by pitting Creighton against ISU, It would have been the buzz of a mosquito right before getting swatted, but a buzz nonetheless.Originally posted by ABC View PostComment

Maybe it was really Indiana State that joined the new Big East, Creighton's still in the Valley, and this was all just one big long-running April Fool's Day joke. They've been relying on the similar uniform colors to keep us from realizing what was going on.Comment

Not bracketology, but preseason predictions by CBS's main guys.
No surprises really with the Valley picks.
I really like Jon Rothstein's Big East picks though. I think he's right on the money with that one. :good:Deuces Valley.
... No really, deuces.
