Dante, the center from Oregon, is just the third PAC 10 player ever to go for 20 & 20 in an NCAA game, joining Lew Alcindor and Bill Walton

I'm depressed at all the pac 12 records being set that will NEVER be broken.

It is truly sad what money is doing to college sports. Do you remember what thanksgiving weekend was like for football? All the big time rivalry games, OU vs Nebraska, The Wolverine vs the Buckeye, USC vs UCLA, Georgia vs Tech, Texas vs A&M, Oregon vs State,

Now look at it. Conferences are completely going away. SAD just SAD

It’s the beginning of the end; 20 years, when I’m completely senile, college sports will be literally unwatchable- they’ll have commercials everywhere, NIL play calling opportunities -

Kansas guy preaching about money ruining sports is hilarious to me.

Please elaborate.

 

[RockChalk]

Kansas has had nothing to do with conference realignment.

Love Colorado’s team and DeSilva

We need 9 playable dudes next year

Hawkins with a phantom charge

Will be an interesting race to see whose worse the announcers or the refs

 

[GophersInIowa]

It was a mistake for Colorado to not get their foul count up higher a little bit earlier. They only had 3 fouls so when they needed to foul late, they had to multiple times to put Marquette at the line. I would have fouled twice under 2 minutes to get them to at least 5. Lots of time wasted getting all those fouls in the last :20 seconds or so.

Just realized that “Chuck’s Lawyer” in the Capital One commercial is our old friend Jackie Childs from Seinfeld - cool

 

[GopherPoke]

I’m fine if I go the rest of my life not hearing/seeing Chet sing in a commercial ever again. Unfortunately, we have two more weekends of it.

It’s the beginning oh the end; 20 years, when I’m completely senile, college sports will be literally unwatchable- they’ll have commercials everywhere, NIL play calling opportunities -

And gambling opportunities baked into the broadcast at levels unimagined even now.

 

[Holy Man]

And gambling opportunities baked into the broadcast at levels unimagined even now.

But games will be perfectly on the up and up because money to be made by people with no connection to the game can’t possibly corrupt the product.

Baylor/Clemson coming down to the wire.

Baylor/Clemson coming down to the wire.

Baylor missed 2 FTs down 2 with 36 seconds left

Then Clemson hits 2 on the other end

 

[Gopher_In_NYC]

Baylor missed 2 FTs down 2 with 36 seconds left

Then Clemson hits 2 on the other end

The guy who missed those 2 for Baylor was 82% from the line.

Overall, Baylor was 16-26 from the line

 

[Gopher_In_NYC]

ACC with 25% of the Sweet 16

 

[Ski-U-Ham]

Buie 0-6 at the half. Northwestern down 22.

Wow

Bama - CGU is a competitive game. 50-44 Bama

Another level of athleticism from our squad. Oh my.

Fun to watch and dream.


The GCU fans are lunatics

 

[upnorthkid]

this GCU-Bama game is becoming unwatchable (unlistenable?) with the GCU fan screeching into the audio.

Thousands of fans.

Sounds like a pack of hyenas devouring their prey.

Beat me to it! I thought GCU fans were borderline intolerable against Wisconsin.

 

[jham13]

So what would be the line on GCS vs the Gophers?

I love that enthusiasm - man that’s great energy for their players.

What a well officiated game - let them be physical and font cal every ticky tacky foul.

 

[Gopher_In_NYC]

So what would be the line on GCS vs the Gophers?

Off the board

[upnorthkid]

yeah that's gonna do it
