Good news
looks like Simmons will be doing a live chat for day 1 of The Masters!! could be epic
Check this out
“I am really excited to join the best team in college football broadcasting,” Bellotti said in a statement Friday. “Working as an analyst for ESPN is a dream come true and a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I will bring the insight, experience and expertise I have gathered from 36 years of coaching college football to the studio and telecast booth. Spring ball is in full swing, I can’t wait to start.”
Some might consider being the AD of an incredibly successful and well-funded athletic program a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
I wonder which one pays better
I know what he was making as head coach and as AD, but don’t know what he’s going to get at ESPN. Besides, we all knew he wasn’t going to be able to stay out of the game that long.
being the AD
doesn’t come with a ton of tv face time though
I don't know if I agree with that
Remember when he was in the booth for the WSU/Oregon game? (Don’t know if you were watching.)
wasn't that game on some ridiculous oregon sports network or something?
there’s a good chance only you and I were watching that garbage
By the way
It came from this story: http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=5009981
I can/can’t believe that the main emphasis of the story is on him joining ESPN, not on the reasons why he’s leaving Oregon. Brutal journalism.
Oh man
That goes from “he’s going to ESPN” to “we’re glad to have him” to “here’s the Duck’s recent arrests”
and don't forget
to tune in to the coverage of Auburn’s spring game on 4/17
Nuss, I totally posted that in a fan shot.
You’re stealing my thunder, man.

Apparently, resetting the shot clock is known as “recycling” it, according to Brando.
Good grief.
To be fair
they probably will use it again

We already had tigers vs. tigers now we have aggies vs. aggies
What are the odds?

West region of my bracket
perfection is still attainable!!
everything else looks awful
After 2010
The NCAA doesn’t have Spokane hosting 1st/2nd round games in the near future.
The Arena might need to add more seats to please the NCAA (again).
I'm not at home but I thought I'd chime in with
Buffalo Wild Wings!

Just ran down the concourse
Bought an $8 beer in the airport, just to realize the games are not on. Here is to a few more waiting for tipoff.

hope i get the Cal/L'ville game on my local CBS tonight
should be a good one
I've seen America's Wang State a few times this year
and they’re not good. Gonzaga should roll.
i was about to boo you
but i figure Gus will likely say it eventually.

my old man was born to rock
he stood tryin to beat the clock
The Zags are doing well against the nation's best D
Don’t know if they can keep it up for a full 40, though.
I know Steven Gray is talented, but his body language makes him look lazy.

Gosh.
I seriously have to listen to Gus AND Len Elmore? Gus screams about everything, Elmore has quite possibly the oddest enunciations in the history of broadcasting. This is shaping up to be the most irritating broadcast ever.
Also, he might be better than Niehaus.
More annoying voice, but less frequent inaccuracies and better pronunciations.
Nobody is better then Niehaus
I don’t care if he’s losing it, I grew up on Neihaus. He’ll still be my favorite
You and Nuss, too, huh?
I prefer an announcer who isn’t wrong every other sentence and doesn’t make up what players are good or bad on a whim.
Good thing you're not an M's fan
He’ll be my hero until the day he croaks. It’ll probably be in the booth. I just don’t care. Besides, don’t you already know enough about the players? I listen for the stories. He’s FANTASTIC at those. And that voice …
It would probably be better if I was an Ms fan.
I live in the Ms market, so unless I want to pay for my baseball games (and often even then), it’s what I’m cruely subjected to.
I probably know enough about the players, but that doesn’t excuse inaccuracy. I know how to spell the names of the players on UCLA, but if you don’t, you’re bad at your job and lazy. (You’re not.)
Even as a fan of a Mariners rival. . .
. . . clips from the ’95 season give me goosebumps.
I can find myself pulling for the Mariners late in the year if the Rangers are done and no Mariners fan has pissed me off that season.
I do like Ian Eagle
I also really like Nantz. LOVE Enberg. I know he’s lost a step, but he’s still great.
(DUCKS)
Why couldn't Elias Harris find out about WSU?
He’d make us a tournament team. Probably better, since people would have to lay off Casto/Klay
If Ken Bone was any kind of coach
He would have figured out a way for Harris to get out of his LOI to Gonzaga.
I like Bjorn
Get him in the weight room, teach him some defense, he could be a big surprise next year.
Leading Field Goal Defensive team?
i’m not entitely sure what that means, Gus. I don’t think you do either.
All I know is kenpom says they're really awesome at defense
And since kenpom is awesome, I trust kenpom
I don't know if Gonzaga can beat Syracuse at their best
But I do know that if Syracuse underestimates them, they can lose.
The Cuse does have an key player injured--a big man...I forgot his name

I have come to undersand that you have to have
knowledge of what a dry sense of humor is if you want to be on a thread or you won’t make it through a thread. Found some of those peeps in Addicted to Quack after reading cougfan’s satire. Classic by the way.

according to the georgia tech announcer
brian oliver is NOT related to brian oliver.
Damn SoCalCoug
i’m going to be looking at Firefox Personas for hours now
My bracket needs the Zags.
My heart wants the Seminoles.

I want to root for the Zags, I really do.
But I can’t help but feel satisfied win they lose.
by KirklandCoug on Mar 19, 2010 6:10 PM PDT up reply actions
I liked them in the early part of the decade.
But I have a ton of buddies from Spokane who are Zag fans, and they all think their program is better than any in the nation.

I just figured out how to use the split screen on my TV to use one digital channel and one analog channel
I feel dumb and awesome all at the same time.
Pete Carroll just tweeted this

Ugh
I don’t want the Seahawks to be awful. Positive affirmations.
The NFC West is garbage…
The NFC West is garbage…
The NFC West is garbage…
Too late, I fear
Pete Carroll is convinced he can run the Seahawks like USC. And people wonder why college coaches never succeed.
Is barnburner one or two words?
Barnburner or Barn burner?
I think this one actually could be good
But I’m not getting my hopes up. It’s still a 1/16. And I dream of a 1/16 upset, but don’t know if I’ll ever see it.
But will I see it?
Or will it be when I haven’t set aside the night to watch basketball, drink beer, and chat on the internet.
As a side note, let’s not let that description of my life get out to the public.
They don't have to wait to flirt
They just have to wait to slip the roofie into Few’s drink and drag him off to the den of Nike.
Watch Gonzaga do one of their old school rapes of my bracket.O
Only this time I’ll have opponents getting points of of it.
It bugs me to no end...
That this borderline good Husky team gets as easy a path to the Sweet 16 as anyone…
Excellent defense by GT
OSU had about four options on that play, and they shut down all of them. Makes you wonder why in the world teams can’t play defense like that on every possession.
I liked how during the end of the Husky game yesterday they called 3 timeouts in a row
With a commercial break in between each, only to come to the last second and see a doomed half-court shot.
Yes, but if we're going to complain
About the call at the end of the UO game, we have to complain about this call. Refs shouldn’t go outside of the normal range of calls suddenly at the end of the game. And it wasn’t so blatant a violation that it needed to be called.
It's really unfortunate because that becomes the story
Even though if it isn’t called, NMST has 18 seconds and is down 2. So there is a good chance MSU wins regardless. But now the lane violation becomes the story.
True.
But I don’t know that I’ve ever seen a guy do that and it not be called. Not in college, anyway.
