Maybe I'm weird or something, but it didn't make sense to root against the hawks tonight. Also, WTF did T-Hanns still get the player of the year award? He was outmatched and outplayed by a backup freshman from KU, and barely managed to score 17 points after drawing foul after foul. Remember what Michael Beasley did to KU? Scored 25 the first game after being in bad foul trouble and 39 the second game. Guess which team needed who the most? Such shit that they gave the award to a pussy. |

Well, having one side of the family who all despised KU for whatever reasons (and tried to convert me into a K-State fan, essentially) only helped turn me to the dark side that much quicker.
I'm just glad that they managed to pull it off! The bulk of this team is probably going straight to the NBA after this game, Bill Self may not be able to resist the pull of T. Boone Pickens and his millions of petrodollars at O$U...there are only so many chances you get at a championship, and they were lucky enough to take it when the opportunity presented itself. And it was great to see Roy in the stands cheering them on. Brought a few tears to my eye, that did. WLP, how do you think Martin will do restocking the team when Beasley takes his rightful place as a top-3 pick in the upcoming draft? Did Huggins leave any recruiting connections behind in Manhattan after 2006-07, or did he haul them all up to Morgantown? |

(Also, there have been some interesting things I've picked up from talking to some of Beasley's friends, as in it isn't set in stone that he is leaving. His mom just got a new job in town, he enrolled in classes next semester, stuff like that. He really likes college, so it isn't for sure that he is leaving... although that is probably just fantasy) |

Does anyone else think Stacey Dales is hot?
She doesn't seem to be hyphenated anymore, does this mean she's available? There aren't really any good pics of her online, this is the best I could do. But the ESPN cameras love her. Last edited by colivigan : 2008-04-08 at 21:13. |

She kinda looks like actress Teri Polo (Stiller's wife in "Meet the Parents/Fockers").
Or a slightly more attractive version of Amy Poehler (minus that strange, old woman mouth of Poehler's). Even a Jodie Foster thing going on as well, in a couple of the above photos (the two on the right). |

And he'll still be selling all kinds a shit.
He never even realized they played basketball in the middle west and west, I always like a tourney when his east coast teams suck it early and often. It paralyses him. "What's a Canadian farm boy to do?" |

Thank [insert deity here]. x100.
Although his replacement leaves PUH-LENTY to be desired (Clark Kellogg ) CBS, why can't you just try Verne Lundquist and Bill Raftery for one Final Four? I know that the sheer awesomeness of the occasion would make the next year's team look weak and pathetic by comparison, but c'mon. Just one time. |

There are few people that rival Billy Packer's ego...

However he's almost always condescending and talking down to the viewers. He also pretty much sucks all the joy and fun out of basketball. He's the Dark Queen to Dick Vitale's White Queen. I mentioned the east coast bias thing as well. They all walk on water. He has some good qualities, (not as a broadcaster) like his support of the player from the exploitation from the NCAA, but on the other hand he has magazines and camps and exploits them as well.

For a quick synopsis of what makes Billy Packer so uniquely charming, check out his Dickipedia page*.
What really galled me about Packer (besides his ability to suck the fun out of any game he called) was his incredibly obnoxious bias against mid-majors - in particular, when he called out St. Joseph's during the NCAA tournament selection show in 2004 when they received a #1 seed while they were interviewing St. Joseph's coach. Truly a rude, thoughtless little pig if there ever was one. * Contents may not be entirely truthful. But really, it's close enough. |

This thread actually has me laughing.
An Apple rumor site is the last place I'd think to find Billy Packer bashing. Keep up the good work... |

Nope, no reason to worry. He's done with that too.

Funny that some of you think Packer had an East Coast bias or that he hated the mid-majors. The perception with my fiancée, a Carolina fan, was that he hated Carolina and hated the ACC anyway. When he told people to change the channel and called out, "this game is OVAH!" in last year's Final Four game against Kansas, as out of reach as that game ultimately was, he the most ire he probably ever has from the Carolina fans. It would have been downright dangerous to walk into the Dean Dome again. I fully expected him to get an earful and maybe a bushel full of eggs and rotten tomatoes had he tried.
