The Swamp

So what do you fellas make of Gonzaga? Was today just a minor hiccup? Or something to worry about? Today was a hiccup. But that is a tough bracket. Wichita State is excellent, they are certainly no pushover (neither is Creighton, the other Missouri Valley team in the tournament). And if Gonzaga doe...

Boeheim will be in a good mood, so this promises to be fun.

Bump. Because yep.

Montana is down by 40. And counting. I really hope the Berkeley guys were taken out for post-game pizza or something and are NOT seeing what Syracuse is currently up to. And, sancarlos, watching that Mountain West final a few days ago, a great game, if you told me both UNM and UNLV would be elimina...

Quite a feat, and quite a first, if the smart guys win. They've never won an NCAA game (they also went 66-years without even making the tournament), never won in the NIT, never won in the CIT.

Good recall on the 1987 tournament, Dave. I sure as heck had to look up that reference.

Scottie

That has to be one of the longest own-goals ever, right? Which game? I've seen a few "full length of the ice" own goals. And I believe every time it was in the final minute, goaltender pulled for an extra skater, down in the offensive zone a pass goes back to the point, missed by the poin...

Scottie

Yeah. I picked UNLV.

Reading, or studying, a lot of calligraphy books lately. I've got something like 10 of them from the local libraries. Also picked up this: The Good Man Jesus and the Scoundrel Christ by Philip Pullman . . . since I've been on a Hitchens and Dawkins kick, that one seemed like a natural extension. htt...

Oddly, there are four Canadians on the New Mexico State team, including 7'5" Sim Bhullar who is surely the tallest Punjabi in the NCAA as well. Deadspin has collected some ridiculous pictures of Bhullar in action. If he makes it to the NBA, Bhullar would be the league's tallest player by about...

Which would have put him at +206 over Bill Mikkelson's '74-'75 season.

Oooooh . . . I completely forgot about that. And I found a list HERE . Or should we hang on to those until football season rolls around? I'm open to suggestions from anyone for anything to use as the ranks. Anyway, what? You don't like defunct WHA franchises? (I just added those for the sake of addi...

This is great. A guy bought the house in front of the Westboro Baptist Church and set it up as a LGBT "equality House"; painted it pride flag rainbow. Brilliant!

Now . . . a US Military recruiting station on the other side would be just perfect.

LeBron, post-game: "That kid gotta spend the rest of the night in jail, but he'll probably be on Sportscenter."

No kidding, eh? Both the real Heat and the real Cavaliers showed up in the second half.

Scottie

Cleveland is up by 21 at halftime against the 23-straight wins Heat. And Miami couldn't hit a thing in that second quarter. Even their free throws looked brickish.

Why wouldn't you use both? Or you can turf the green herbs and use paprika for roasted potatoes.

While you're at it . . . look up "Lobogate".

You're very welcome. And you saw the list on TSN.ca, eh?

Scottie

Oddly, there are four Canadians on the New Mexico State team, including 7'5" Sim Bhullar who is surely the tallest Punjabi in the NCAA as well. Saint Louis has one as well so there is an obscure chance that at some point half of the players on court in that game would be Canucks. Weird.

. . . and the Montreal Expos.

LBJ Orders Some New Haggar Pants

They had a lot of nice smelling teas, but the employees never really gave you much time to just look. Most of the teas were behind the counter, so you couldn't just check them out on your own. Is that normal? Not really "normal", as it were. If you can find an independent store, not a cha...

To resize an avatar, you need a photo editor. Like PhotoShop, for example. Also, if you post your image on PhotoBucket, or any other similar site, you can re-size it there quite easily; PhotoBucket albums let you edit images.

Sure thing. I'll make the change as soon as you log out.

For those of us that do not get TruTV, whatever the h-e-double-hockeystick that is, one live stream source is TSN.CA. And I have no idea if that link will work outside of Canuckia.

Trivia: First time since 1977 that there are no teams from Texas in the NCAA tournament.

Thanks, Sabo. After much Canadian nickel flipping, my final four is Louisville, Notre Dame, Michigan, Miami (Florida) with Louisville defeating The U in the final.

That Kostitsyn play is indescribable. Radulov-esque, maybe? I saw Dan Currie do that once. Early 90's. It was an AHL game, Binghamton Rangers at the Cape Breton Oilers.

Yeah, especially considering our appalling low number of gay Swampers. We need to an incredibly sudden influx of bi-curiosity to sweep through this joint if this thread is ever going to go anywhere. Well, we did have a lengthy K-Pop thread. If that doesn't produce your desired result, nothing will.
