Hey everyone, there is a Buffalo Wild Wings that just opened three miles from my apartment. If the Cougs reach the tourney next year, I invite you all to come stay in my 680 square-foot palace so that we can go to Buffalo Wild Wings and guide our Cougs to a national title. We are not as dumb as those "Boston" fans.

This game is in Buffalo? Do you think there is a Buffalo Wild Wings there? If so, I would skip the game and head there if I was a Morgan State fan.
The good news for the loser: There is plenty of cheap beer to drown your sorrows in Milwaukee. The winner advances to the second round and keeps hope alive to become:
Could the full name of Jacksonville actually be Samuel L. Jacksonville? I would hope so.

Same here.
I think “Washington State smackin’ around Notre Dame” is possibly the sportscasting phrase most committed to my soul.
Unfortunately, whenever the Rangers win the World Series, it will be Joe Buck’s voice. :’(
Considering that the Cougs aren't even in the tournament...
CougCenter’s coverage is just freakin’ outstanding.
I know it’s a lot of work to keep up with all this but you guys are really kicking ass.

So Cornell has a kid who's 22nd in effective FG rate and Temple can't get to the FT line.
Let’s watch that be the difference.
Poor Big East
Their only thing that kept them from going 0-4 yesterday was an overtime win by a 2 over a 15.
SUCK IT!

Let me tell you a little story.
When I was seventeen, I was waitlisted at my number one school. Even though I was a legacy, and I had like a thousand extra-curriculars, mostly drama, madrigals, barbershop club, I was waitlisted. Did I wait, on that list? No, I did not. I busted into the admissions office and I sang them all the reasons they should admit me to the school. And guess what? I. Got. In. And here’s the kicker. That school? Cornell.
Top Ten Quote
“I got into Cornell off the Wait List. A lot of people were like, “Oh, you just got into Cornell because your dad donated a building.” No. Okay. I got into Cornell because I’m smart. I’m smart enough to have a dad who donates buildings to things."

Let me be clear. There's only one thing that's important to me, and it's not friendship. It's dominance
and I think I know a thing or two about dominating. Okay, I lived with a dominatrix for three years in Stamford. Mistress Lila. Taught me more than any college professor I ever had, while attending Cornell, which is where I went to school.
“Oh no! No, no-no-no-no! My grandfather would be spinning in his urn, if he knew that I was out here with a Dartmouth boy. You take that shirt off right now or I will take it off for you, sir. I am… totally and completely kidding! Andrew Bernard, Cornell ’95.” – - Classic!

sportsguy33:
From ESPN Research: “If at least 3 games are decided by 3 or fewer points in the NCAA Men’s Championship today, 2010 will set a record for most games decided by 3 or fewer points since the field expanded to 64 in 1985. And with 2 more OT games, 2010 will set a record for most OT games in the 1st Round since the field expanded to 64 in 1985.”
Great, but he doesn't provide great office quotes.
And that lowers his Pomeroy ratings.

He took over as AD less than a year ago. Is he getting THAT much heat for all the off the field stuff? I just don’t like when people fail to face the music. It just seems like cowardice.

Basically it comes to down him fading into oblivion. ESPN lets him talk football, which he loves, but if he stayed around as AD, people would forget who he was and an analyst job would go by the wayside.

. . . “Wild Buffalo Wings, a club where they play karaoke on the inside and salsa music outside.”
Because of the one time he went there on ladies night.
I put a wicked in-game wager on MIzzou at 7.5
when they were down by 1 back in the first half. Also got one on them at +280 when they went down by 5 soon after.
Should pay off pretty well.

Doesn't the guy in the Bud Light (eharmony copy) commerial look like Chris Rose from Fox?

By the way, this is now "Michael Jordan's CougCenter"
We lost it to him last night in the Texas over/under bet.
If we had won, we’d own the Bobcats.
Watching Clemson and Missouri shoot under the basket is weird to me.
Because I expect them to miss them all then lose the rebound. And then they don’t.
Is this something other basketball teams are able to do?
YEAH!!
I am not done with my beer and having good times with my friends at this sports themed restaurant/bar!!
He'll grow up to work at a small, chain paper company
And suffer the bitter rejection of having his fiancee cheat on him, then become involved in the most awkward, unnecessarily drawn-out relationship in television history, since all the good writers on his television show went to Parks and Rec.
Question
Do you think the Belotti resignation is part of a power play for a basketball coach? Hey, Mark Few! Choose your boss!
Thought crossed my mind
It gained more traction when Kilkenny, Few’s friend and class mate, was given a spot on the search committee.
Then again, if anyone should be choosing their boss, it’s probably Chip Kelly.
That Mizzou game
and 5dimes stupidity in setting in game lines just took me from down 3 units to up 28 units in about an hour.

This is going to sound dumb
But I heard an interview with their coach. Thought they had some talent, especially a good big man, which makes a big, big difference in tournament games. I also thought Pitt was probably overseeded. Oh well. I’ve got Pitt out next round anyway.
Panther is garenteed to work about 60% of the time all the time.

Utah Stat-A&M is another frustrating game.
Like Xavier-Minnesota, I think it’s a close game where I’d pick either winner to go to the Sweet 16. Close games are annoying when it’s only one game affected, but when I think it affects multiple rounds it gets rough.
BYU-KSU, though, affects more than that, since I’d have KSU only losing to Syracuse and BYU beating ’Cuse.
I had the same problem
I had USU in the S16, then switched to A&M right before the brackets were due

He was reportedly a finalist for our job, however he could have pulled out himself because Utah State has a ton of fan support and packs their house plus he had a veteran team returning. Recruiting would have been the question with him because I love his offensive style, they run a lot of nice sets. Good screens and passing. A&M is way too strong for them though.
