What's Colin Cowherd's deal?
He used Oregon as an example today on his radio show to rip “sub-standard” expectations or “slightly above average” expectations… and praise teams that expect greatness… He of course mentioned the only team on the West coast to do that was.. USC… He has always been a USC homer… and he is known for running agenda… me thinks he says the writing on the wall with USC and Oregon football…
P.s
the coherence of his entire monologue was… well there was none… Throw in Ernie Kent… throw in what he thinks about our state… Praise USC… rip Oregon… blah blah blah…

BTW if anyone needs some good news today
Here is the info I got from Gorby about Little Gorby Wolf last night in case you weren’t in the thread.
He’s doing great! He got out of ICU this afternoon and is staying with
us in our hospital room now. He’s eating well and doing all the things
babies are supposed to do. We haven’t seen any new bone fractures (I’m
not sure how familiar you are with osteogenesis imperfecta, but it’s
also known as brittle bone disease), so that’s a good thing. We’re
seeing a geneticist tomorrow to start planning how we’re going to treat
it (and exactly how much treatment he’ll need).
But seriously, considering he wasn’t supposed to make it, we’re totally
thrilled. We actually get to take him home with us tomorrow! I don’t
know what your faith is, but we had a lot of people praying for us, and
I can’t attribute the miracle to anyone but God. It’s amazing.

WVA having some trouble right now. That would not be good for my brackets, at all.

Wait, when did anyone decide the Big East was any good?
Did no one watch the first half of WVU/Villanova a few weeks ago?
--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
Yeah...not good at all
I have them in the NC game. All I have to do is beat axmen an I’ll be happy with my picks. According to ESPN, out of like some four million brackets, there are still 56 perfect ones out there.

Mike Belotti press conference at 11:30
Announcing that he is leaving UO for ESPN gig as CFB analyst?

I’m just as upset at the fact that we’re losing him as a football analyst than as an athletic director, if it’s true of course.

But we possibly gain him for better games, and we don’t have to listen to Giansante. Win-win.
--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
No, it’s worse. We will still have Giansante, and it’ll just be him and Newman/Jorgy, and what I liked best about Bellotti in the booth is that when he was talking, Joe had his piehole shut.
everything is history, eventually.
Hopefully our football team just continues to be good, so that ESPN/ABC picks up our games.

Is this Belotti thing real?
I am stunned… I get the analyst thing… he’s fantastic… really, I thought he was one of the best commentators I have heard… but… fire Kent… then leave????? what?!?!

I can't get teh High Quality player to work on CBS online
Is anyone else having this problem?
This is why experts suck and make me loose.
I had Xavier beating Wisconsin on all my brackets. THen I went to kenpom.com and discovered that Wiscy was the shit and they apparently shoulda been a #1 seed and Xavier was suck. So I changed the picks. Wow, am I smrat, I thought.
Repeat above several times in this round, just change the names.
Fuck the experts and there bloody statistics and shite. I’m contracting out next year’s picks to the monkeys at the Oregon Zoo.
everything is history, eventually.
So… did you guys know that Justin Roper was on the Montana basketball roster? He was apparently in San Diego for the first round, but he didn’t get any time on the court. He apparently joined the basketball team mid-season.
He racked up 2 points this season and played a total of 3 minutes for the year.
its spelled "S-H-U-F-E-L-T-O-B-L-I-G-A-T-E-D-T-O-D-O-I-T"
If he plays all 40 minutes a game, that’s like 26 points a game. PUT IN ROPER!

Well, things are going better for my bracket today. Hopefully it stays that way during the evening session.
Just realized I put Cornell in the Sobe bracket instead of Temple. Sweet.
They call him Rags. Where he goes, no-hitters follow.
Addicted to Quack, the home of Tako Tuesdays
I kept wondering what this Sobe was you guys kept mentioning.
And now I realize… I entered the wrong damn contests. I am in someone’s ESPN ATQ contest, and I’m in Paul’s CBS contest. Too bad, at 20-4 I’d certainly be in the early running for some of that Duck gear.
Facepalm forthcoming.

OT
Little Gorby update (straight from Big Gorby):
We got to come home from the hospital today, and Wyatt came home with us! This is beyond our wildest expectations, as we figured he’d be in the hospital for several weeks. He’s still doing fine and everything’s looking good. The doctors are unsure of exactly what it is he has (he definitely has some sort of skeletal dysplasia), but the prognosis is 100 times better than it was before he was born. There’s a very good chance he can be a normal little boy.
Thank you all again for your support. I really value all the people of this community. And a special thanks to Matt Daddy for reaching out to me and posting some updates on here.
By the way, how are the Ducks doing in the tournament? Are we in the Elite Eight yet?

That’s amazing, and yes, the Ducks beat Syracuse this morning behind 78 points from EJ Singler.
And it’s not OT. The thread’s named after the little guy. Big ups to Wyatt. He could teach Jake Locker and Matt Barkley a thing or two about toughness.

2008: Takimoto picks Gonzaga to the Elite Eight. Gonzaga loses in the first round. Fuck you Steph Curry. But not really, keep being awesome for the Warriors please.
2009: Takimoto picks Gonzaga to the championship game. Gonzaga loses in the Sweet 16. I still maintain if Ty Lawson isn’t healthy, the Zags make it.
2010: Takimoto picks Gonzaga to lose in the first round. Expect a deep run.

That sounds about what I had. I have been burned too many times by the Zags — though I do have them winning their first round game this year.
I’m just bitter. Made a spite pick. And now they’re up 13 early. BTW, I resent that fantasy invite, did you get it?

I don’t get why the Cuse’s zone D is so difficult for team to understand. It’s a simple 2-3 zone. That’s it. Am I missing something?
Hire Steve Alford!

They play it pretty high, but if you get the ball to the high post you have a ton of options to pick it apart. Swing pass, High-low, kick outs, cross courts. Plus, they NEVER get out of it. It’s 2-3 ALL the TIME. You have to be able to just destroy it, right?
Hire Steve Alford!
Addicted to Quack
You'd think so, but nobody can
I think getting it to the high post is the problem. From what I’ve seen so far today, they jump out on the guy flashing to it to deny.
Don’t get me wrong, they have a TON of playmakers on offense. They are in NY after all. I just don’t get why teams don’t just slow it down on them, play efficient Bball and make Cuse cover the entire court
