We could do a signature bet. If St. Mary’s win, I get to choose a signature for you and vice versa. Of course, the signatures would not be mean or inappropriate.

Ok. How long do you have to keep the sig? If Richmond wins, I’d choose something UR Spiders related for you.

If St. Mary’s wins, I’d probably pick something Richmond for you, too, but negative. Like Richmond sucks! or some such thing. Any ideas?
So, you in?

What is up with ASU and OSU? ASU loses at home to Jacksonville in the NIT. OSU gets blown out at home against Boston U in the College Basketball Invitational. I don’t think the Pac-10 was really that awful this year – but that is bad.
In the case of ASU, they might have the NIT let down wherein you feel depressed to miss the NCAAs and flail about in the NIT. Not sure.
BTW, been watching a little NIT action recently. UNC had a packed house. Memphis had a packed house. I remember that we had like 1,000 show up. So, that is a little interesting to me.
CGB's Jimmy Carter
www.CaliforniaGoldenBlogs.com
well, OSU was only in the CBI because they were defending champs — they were granted an exception despite their losing record. so, in theory, they should have been the worst team in the field. remember, they also got blown out at home by Seattle.
So, basically, you gotta Go Bears!
I remember them beating us.

Avi, baby.
Could you please stop promulgating the East Coast bias? I dont care what time the games are on the East Coast. I want to know what time they are on the West Coast without having to do the subtraction.
Also, entered the CGB bracket. Team “RISHI IS MY BITCH” is ready to dominate.
Evidently it is, or else Avi wouldn’t have posted some bullshit time that’s 3 hours off from the real time. :)

Hah! I don’t know what I was thinking. I don’t really believe in Kansas St. or Pitt for some reason, so my West bracket is pretty crazy. BYU didn’t really play anyone this year, and I didn’t really watch them, but they won a lot of games and so I’m hoping they can pull off an upset or two.

THERE IS SO MUCH ACTION GOING ON, IF PEOPLE WHO CAN REALLY FOCUS ON THE GAMES DESCRIBE AS MUCH OF THE ACTION WITH GAME SCORES AND TIME LEFT AND WHATNOT, IT WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED.
I wrote tha tin all caps and bold not to be all 33SS angry style, but just to get attention.
CGB's Jimmy Carter
www.CaliforniaGoldenBlogs.com
Yes, but I fail to see the relevance of that. All I know is that there are probably many people like me, who want to keep up on what is going on, but also have a lot of work to do. So, if the people who are just laying about like the gadabouts that they are can provide more information than “WOW! DID YOU SEE WHAT HAPPENED IN THE BYU GAME?!?!?” or “Old Dominion is really screwing up here,” then we’d have a stronger appreciation of the sitch.
CGB's Jimmy Carter
www.CaliforniaGoldenBlogs.com
Feh. I prefer the less information. That way I can watch the game in my head, which is almost always way better than the one in real life. I mean, how can a standard layup compare with one in which the player has to leap over three defenders, do a somersault in mid-air, solve the riddle of the sphinx, all the while maintaining possession of a ball covered in blood in order to score?
Whose Axe?
OUR AXE!
Look, I acceded to your importuning about creating a bracket, but I’m damned if I’m actually going to pay attention to the details.
Incidentally, I used the “random picks” function which means that my CGB bracket has Robert Morris winning it all, and my Conquest Chronicles bracket has Cal winning it all.
You’re welcome.
Watching Villanova right now, makes me regret picking them to make the Final 4.
Randy Hahn: "I’ve been referred to as a playa…"
The fact that midway through the first half, they’re still not blowing out a 15 seed?

What is it, in specific, do you think that Robert Morris is doing to really keep themselves in this one?
CGB's Jimmy Carter
www.CaliforniaGoldenBlogs.com
Oh, the details thing… Sorry, I’m not watching the game, I just looked at the boxscore. Robert Morris is ahead 15-11 with 9:27 left in the first half. It’s not exactly a barnburner, and I’m sure Villanova will pull it out, but I’m glad I have them losing in the Sweet 16.

I like the East Bay as much as anybody, but I have a hard time agreeing that Richmond rules.

I agree with this sentiment in the context of the East Bay, but in the context of the NCAA tournament…..well, ‘Nova better watch itself! (Kidding ju ju gods, I’ll focus on St Mary’s first)

Damn it, Notre Dame
I originally had Old Dominion pulling the upset but changed back to chalk. First pick of the tournament, wrong. My first 3 picks were all trailing pretty late, and I’m hoping for BYU and Nova to pull it out.
Villanova
I picked them to win two games, but I hope they lose. I know a lot of people have them going far.

I do honestly think going to a small school provides some educational aspects a big school (especially a research school like Cal) can’t match. Good looking girls at Richmond. It’s in the South, which is awesome. Nice campus (understatement). You see the same people around campus and in classes all the time (could be a good thing, could be a bad thing, it’s a personal preference type thing). Almost everyone lives on campus (again, personal preference if you like that or not). I didn’t have a car in college but didn’t need one because campus life has everything you need. We had a great athletic scene for the student body, despite a small student body our intramurals were incredibly competitive and there was tons of talent, which is great for me cause I love sports and I’m a good athlete so I had tons of opportunities to play kids at my level across all different sports. Honestly I think that was probably the single biggest positive at Richmond. It’s just a much more personal experience overall – I’ve talked to the basketball coach before, played basketball against the NFL/former NFL players that went through our school while I was there, talked to the school president, dean of the business school, met most of the faculty in my school, and I’m not the type of person to go out of my way to do those kinds of things.

How many of those places have you lived in or spent significant time in? I’ve lived in 3 – Bay Area, Richmond and Northeast. The Northeast is by far the worst, it sucks up here.

Missing Barry sig suggestions:
“What kind of lame mascot is a Spider anyway?”
“Richmond – I would rather be gang-raped in California than go to school in Virginia.”
“Spiders are always terrified of Gaels… Whatever those are.”
And, my personal favorite:
“The San Francisco Giants are the most worthless, pathetic, and vile franchise in the history of the universe.”
I know, technically not Richmond related, but worth a shot anyway.

I’d rather go to school in Virginia for decades. Have you seen the California gangs???

Hey, nowhere was it stated that any of these had to be true statements. Here’s a truer one:
“Richmond Spiders – Caught in a web of getting owned by St. Mary’s.”

Last year thickened my skin a little. I think we probably are gonna lose to L’ville, though I hope I’m dead wrong.

Richmond, VA. When West Virginia is too classy
How about that?

It’s more elegant.
Or what about: Richmond: where West Virginians go slumming

The Itsy-Bitsy Spiders were in a Tourney bout
Out came the Gaels and blew the Spiders out
Up came the Bears and played against the Cards
But the Itsy-Bitsy Spiders were already at home in Richmond watching it on television.

Thank you! I made a point not to indicate any particular outcome of the Cal game, just in case.

So like,
is UTEP to Texas seen the same as say… UC Santa Barbara to Cal in terms of affiliation?
no cal bear? no care
Or is it more like UCLA?

I'd say it's more like Riverside
In terms of comparing academic differences and quality of life

If I had to choose between living in El Paso and Riverside, I would choose El Paso 10 times out of 10. And I love California.

2nd half Butler-UTEP
It seems UTEP has woken up and realized that oh wait, they’re just a #12 seed.
42-37 Butler, less than 15 minutes left.
