Busy day today. Start your morning off right with Ohio State-Butler and battle between two historic programs, Indiana-Kentucky. Later UW-Georgetown and a host of lower division football playoffs. (Playoffs?) Here is your place to discuss.
EDIT 10:45: Also, the Army-Navy game. Thanks Nuss for the reminder.

Not sure. I really want to though. Hopefully in Februaryish.

i've been there a few times
my dad is an IU grad, hence my hatred for zone defense….
assembly hall is as good as it gets.
You forgot to put Army/Navy in the post
If you ever take the time to read A Civil War — amazing, amazing book — you’ll never look at that game the same way again. And you’ll never miss watching it, either.
Can't believe I forgot to mention that.
I was thinking about it before I typed.

Thought the Cougs played at 4 PST, turns out it is 4 EST.
Hey Nuss, want me to handle the game thread?

If you can, that would be great
But if it’s too much trouble, I can throw something together. I’m just grading like a madman today.

I'm trying. My computer apparently hates me today.

They just referenced the motor of Quincy Pondexter
And forgot to mention it is often set to idle.
Unfortunately not this year
And I hate when they use the term motor

He's still had a few games where he hasn't been in gear
But he is much better about competing all the time this year, and not taking nights off.
When he's turned it on, he's been scary good
Which is what everyone expected of him since his freshman year. All the hype and no payoff til now
by Brian Floyd on Dec 12, 2009 11:30 AM PST up reply actions
Fully agree.
He has shown some really high level of play this year, and has been at that level most of the time.
Side note, three turnovers in a minute by UW, that was impressively sloppy.
Georgetown answers with a clanked dunk and some turnovers, too
Neither team is looking so hot
by Brian Floyd on Dec 12, 2009 11:39 AM PST up reply actions
Are we all surprised just how easily Georgetown
is taking apart the uw? Thomas is trying to do what Klay has done and shoot their team back into the game.
21 Turnovers
Sloppy as hell. Georgetown is keying on Pondexter, trying to force Thomas to win the game

It's a lot like the WSU/KSU game
This is more physical than anyone has gotten with UW this year. They’re not fighting back.

By the way, this is exactly what concerned me for them without Brockman
Who would provide toughness?
by Jeff Nusser on Dec 12, 2009 12:52 PM PST up reply actions
Doesn't seem like Gant, MBA or Breshers has really stepped up.
Pondexter’s got a lot of work to do all by his lonesome.
by Coug Friendly Canuck on Dec 12, 2009 12:57 PM PST up reply actions
They have not
And they didn’t against TT, either. They’ve got their issues, just like everyone else in the conference.

By the way, did anyone hear Mark Few's backhanded compliment of UW on KJR?
He basically said that the reason Gonzaga doesn’t really need UW on the schedule is because they already play enough tough teams. Then he said that UW has a schedule that works very well for them — one that features a lot of home games against inferior competition. I would think it was funnier if I liked Few, but I still thought it was kinda funny.
He also said the WCC was better than the Pac-10
Few comes off as an A-Hole, but I like that in a coach. No love lost between GU and UW.
Yeah, I heard that. I think the WCC has only 4 teams currently above .500
That Few is a comedian. You can tell that the uw and Gonzaga has no love for each other. It really doesn’t make sense for Gonzaga to play the game by the uw rules. Both schools have good, but not great teams right now.
Gonzaga could compete favorably this season in the Pac 10. Of course, the way the pac 10 is looking, we could put together five guys from this board and compete this year.
The uw did make a nice comeback against GT to make the game look respectible.
True, but Gonzaga would win the Pac-10 this year
by johnnycougar on Dec 12, 2009 11:12 PM PST up reply actions
Very possibly true, but
having two very good teams that could win the Pac 10 (St. Mary’s is the other) doesn’t mean that the WCC is better than the Pac 10, which is what Few said.
don't forget ESPN's 30 for 30 series
“The U” tonight at 6. looks interesting
Dont forget
Davidson (2 and 6) only down 2 at the half to the Bullpups.
by crimson and gray on Dec 12, 2009 5:02 PM PST reply actions
So, let's look at the pac-10 today
Oregon loses to St Mary’s
UCLA loses to MSU
UW loses to GU
We win
ASU beats Delaware St. by 42
OSU-Nebraska is just underway and is close
Arizona plays SDSU tonight
Another banner day!
Yep another great day
Az got run and OSU lost. Yuck
