PMThor Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 I am so happy that the college basketball season is finally here. I must admit, it is my first love.While I don't want to start a war here, I will say this. UC fans, come over to Xavier. Yes Xavier. We don't have the messy break ups with our coaches. Ummm, at least not in the last year and half. No really, UC should be ecstatic to be in the Big East. Great move for that school. Whereas my beloved Muskies are stuck in the crappy A-10. Once again, I love this time of year. College basketball and football, and the NFL. Ahhh the times are good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stripes Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 I am honestly annoyed by college basketball... I don't know if it because of Dick Vitale or just the massive number of teams competing for one goal that only about 10 schools have a shot at. It can be fun to watch though, I usually root for the Dayton Flyers or the Bearcats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bengalboomer7 Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 At least half of all division I schools get a chance to win it all. There's roughly 120 schools and 64 at least get an opportunity More than I can say for college football.(when will they realize they'll make millions more this way) I predict a great season and now that Hockey isn't on ESPN there will be a game on every night just like last year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can be fun to watch though, I usually root for the Dayton Flyers or the Bearcats.See this is why I love college basketball. Sure, there are perennial powerhouses year in year out, but teams can and do come out of nowhere to win, and compete in the dance. I just love that. I can honestly watch any college basketball game, no matter who plays. I love watching different styles of offense, defense, coaching, everything. To me it is just so intriguing.And I am sorry you root for dayton. They are evil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stripes Posted November 5, 2005 Report Share Posted November 5, 2005 And I am sorry you root for dayton. They are evil. They may or may not be evil, but I am certain that Brian Gregory is the king of hair gel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJ29 Posted December 26, 2005 Report Share Posted December 26, 2005 Look out for 'Zona - with Hassan Adams, Mustafa Shakur, Chris Rodgers and Jawann McClellan, they have some athletes. I guess that's not anything new for Arizona, but still... look out for 'em.Oh, and speaking of Xavier, what ever happened to Lionel Chalmers - that guy was awesome.

PMThor Posted January 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 Well, now is the time.Crosstown Shootout time.Screw watching Pittsburgh in the playoffs (that made me gag typing it).It is all about bragging rights in the city.I will take X. UC has no depth. Xavier will exploit that. The first half may be competitive, but X will wear them down.GO XAVIER BEAT UC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJ29 Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 It will be a good one Thor - but I gotta go with my Bearcats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stripes Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 I like the Bearcats in that matchup.None of this matters, because my Wright State Raiders will win the Horizon League, and then upset everyone in the NCAA Tournament and finish as National Champs!

PMThor Posted January 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 I like the Bearcats in that matchup.! Ok, why? UC is very, very shallow. Their starting five are solid, but damn, they drop off horrendously. X goes 8 deep and sometimes even 9.The shootout will be close in the first half, but then X will pull away simply because of the benches. Hicks should have a good game, but J Mohammed is going to throw up some wacky shots and Xs defense (a highly ranked defense mind you) will shut down the rest. Both teams will be nervous off the bat, but X is just way too deep for UC.X by at least ten.69-54 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PMThor Posted January 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 Gameday!Gameday!Gameday!Damn, I love this day! I get to go back over to campus (without being considered the creepy stalking guy), see all of my long lost college friends, and watch Xavier stomp on UC. It is a good day.
