The Swamp

Yeah, great post, Bapo! The Swamp doesn't get enough long-form posting anymore. I'm with you on the NBA Experience. I find all of the extra crap really cheapens the game. It's like they know the game itself isn't entertaining enough. And the thing is, it could be, but all the fake cheering, loud mus...

Is Harvard going to win an NCAA Tournament game? Craziness.

I find it funny that Mizzou has maintained their tradition of underperforming in the tournament no matter who their coach is. (In fairness, they are only an 8 seed, but still.)

Damn, that St. Mary's game got interesting in a hurry. Would have loved to see that last shot go in for Dellavedova.

And we're rooting for this Davidson upset, right?

Something to remember is that Stevens is an Indy boy. His family is here. He has built a solid program here. I listen to radio interviews with him all the time. I don't think he is a guy who is going to chase the big money. And I don't think Tom Crean is going anywhere anytime in the near future. I...

Is Brad Stevens not going to move on to a bigger program, unless the Hoosier job opens up? Coach K's replacement. There's a very strong sentiment for that around here. Some people think it might be a contest of whether Roy Williams or Coach K retires first - whoever gets first shot gets Stevens.

Glad I didn't pick Valpo.

A co-worker just stopped himself mid-piss to pull out his wallet to try and pay me for the office bracket pool. I didn't have any change on me. Hope he washes his hands before he makes it down to my office later. How do you stop yourself mid-piss? Once I start, I can't stop, although I guess I have...

"don't tell me the score" For people who want to see the highlights not knowing what is going to happen or how it ends up. When I clicked through, I picked a game and it took me to a page with the score in 40 point font (along with highlights, stats, etc). Is it just that the scores aren'...

This is fascinating. It's a TED talk on de-extinction of species.

(hope this doesn't brand me as a religious zealot)

DC, I'm actually with you on dunks in general. I especially fail to get why people get so worked up about "getting dunked on." In many cases, the guy who got dunked on was the only defender with the balls to actually try to stop the play. I hate that it's considered a bad thing to not conc...

Our difference of opinion may come down to this. I think dunking over a player who is 6-10 inches shorter and 50-80 pounds lighter from five feet away is actually something that dozens of high school and college players can do pretty routinely. I've watched a lot of basketball in my life and I have...

I hadn't seen the dunk until just now. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fm_t6OfBF7Y I don't think that was nearly as good as DeAndre Jordan's. And no, there most certainly are not many high school kids who could throw down a dunk like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NTkN2q6sUUk That's just ridicu...

I have hardly watched any college basketball all season, and then watched most of the Big10 and SEC tournaments. I can't be the only one who wants to strangle Marshall Henderson? Here's a few more who want to strangle him (I just wanted to post this again): http://nbccollegebasketballtalk.files.wor...

This is a very cool piece on where the best basketball players come from and where they go to college . That's an article I always meant to do on my site, but never got around to it. I always suspected that Virginia both produced an inordinate number of great high school players and also failed to g...

Wow is Jay Bilas a whiney douche. Get me a violin for those poor teams in major conferences who didn't get in because they only schedule Ithaca College out of conference. It should only matter who you play outside of your conference? Did I say that? Other things matters too, like wins, I guess. One...

There are free pdf merging tools as well. I think the one I used was cleverly named "PDF Merge".

There is nothing in the world more predictable than NC State sleepwalking through the season, coasting on talent and frustrating their fans, and then turning it on during the ACC Tournament. Happens every single year. I KNEW it would happen again today and UVA wouldn't be able to withstand it. When ...

I think I remember trying that before, but feeling that I was missing stuff if I didn't read up quick enough, as it would get pushed down the feed. This way, if I can't get to something that day, I have it to read on a Saturday morning with my coffee. With Google Reader or Feedly (the reader I use ...

Scottie, are you saying we converted our database to a new format and didn't make a backup first?

Really?

I never got into using RSS either. What I've been doing for the last several years is doing a pass through my twitter feed in the morning, opening any columns, stories or whatever that seem interesting and then clipping it to my Evernote notebook. Then, as they day goes on, going to the notebook an...

You mean the two little squares in the upper left-hand corner? The squarish goatse and the conversation balloon? I was thinking of getting rid of it all together. Is it really necessary in the first place? It takes a dozen or more edits to each of the Styles to change its behavior. The other option...

First of all, frogse is awesome.

Second, Scottie can we make the phpbb icon up there click through to the board instead of the list of boards? There's really no reason to go back to that board listing, because we only have one board.

I don't really get why RSS is dying off (if it really is). Was it replaced by something and I missed it?

Is the idea that I have to use Twitter to follow a bunch of blogs/sites? If so, that's bullshit.

BC freshman Olivier Hanlan has 41 points so far against Georgia Tech. Pretty nuts.

This pisses me off.

I don't like that links open in the same tab. All of our previous boards sent links into new tabs, so I'm used to that.

Not at all, but the free market is very efficient. If nobody is doing something, 99% of the time, it's because there isn't a market for it. Very few successful companies or products were the first into their market.

J Lo, if you're serious about this, you should start poking around local universities and your alma mater. Most schools these days have or are building entrepreneurial programs. You can get help from faculty on refining your plan and you can find students and young alumni who might be willing to jo...

There are sites kind of like that for various design work. Folks can bid/offer ideas for web design and logo design. There are probably others by now. I haven't heard of one for advertising or general slogan work. It seems like a pretty good idea for small-to-medium businesses. There's no way many l...

I loved him in Broadcast News.

It's gonna get murky when UVA loses to NC State on Friday. UVA seems to always suck in the ACC Tourney, and State always plays better. UVA would have been better off if State had beaten FSU on Saturday, putting UVA in the #5 seed. They'd have had an easy win over VT on Thursday to further boost thei...

Yeah, it's getting pretty repetitive.

I've missed you assholes.

Oh yeah, that's the shit. I tried prosilver first and it was OK. subsilver2 is much nicer. Granted, a lot of that is comfort, but I really do think it looks better - both colors and layout.

I'm trying out one of the other skins. It's all kinds of blue. I found the default green a little washed out.

I haven't gotten over the avatars on the right though. Is that an admin option? I ask, because I have never seen a message board with avatars on the right. That's just odd.
