    2011-12 MBB Expectations

    Personally I think that should be the expectation. Improvement and an NIT invite. I'm obviously going to be spending all year in Hilton cheering for the NCAA tourney invite, but as I stated in my above post, we will need to finish in the top 5 of Big XII to be considered a likely Tourney team...

    2011-12 MBB Expectations

    Very Good Teams: Kansas - will pretty much always be in this category in the pre-season Good Teams: Texas - I don't trust a Rick Barnes coached team, but they will always have talent Texas A&M - losing their coach hurts, but they have a lot coming back and are a solid team Baylor - tons of...

    2011-12 MBB Expectations

    Bubble team? Depending on our Non-Con schedule that will be an NIT team's record. We will likely need to finish at or 1 game under .500 in the new Big12 to be considered a bubble team.

    NBA: Playoffs

    I see that you are also a widowed Sonics fan. Do you have any trouble cheering for OKC or did your cheering interests just follow the team to OKC. I grew up in Seattle, and followed them closely from afar when I moved away, but technically the team moved closer to me when they came to the...

    NFL: Fantasy Football: Rookies Only Draft

    Cam, for better or worse he will have the keys to the franchise.

    Perry Jones to stay

    I agree, he reminds me of Marvin Williams who was drafted #2 out of UNC by the Atlanta Hawks ahead of CP3 (#3) and Deron Williams (#4). Jones has all of the tools, but seems to lack whatever it is that causes him to use the tools and be a dominant basketball player. While I have no doubt...

    Perry Jones to stay

    Twitter, from @BaylorMBB re-tweeted by @chadfordinsider or Chad Ford (ESPN): "Wow. I'm stunned RT @BaylorMBB Perry Jones III announced Monday he WILL RETURN to #Baylor for sophomore year"

    Barnes Will Stay

    Would sources be exactly that? Hearing something from a friend? SVP is an anchor, while it isn't impossible for him to hear something - my guess is he would either save any actual real information for SportsCenter (the medium by which he actually gets paid) or he is just catching up on the news...

    Barnes Will Stay

    Yes, a dollar today is worth more than a dollar tomorrow. But, even though he will be able to get his degree, this is the only time that he will actually get to be in college. There is a huge difference, and it could be worth it to some people.

    Barnes Will Stay

    Or he thinks that staying in school with his buddies and having the strong possibly of winning a National Championship is worth the $5 Mil ish that he will miss out on for 1 year of his rookie contract. He might also think that if he does stay in school and perform well it could actually...

    Barnes Will Stay

    SVP was at Agusta all last week. When I read that tweet, I just assumed he was catching up on all of the other sports news out there. I don't think SVP has many inside sources within CBB and thus don't think that him "hearing" something should be taken as fact. Now if Katz or Bilas or one of...

    If you root for UCONN tonight......

    Yup. 1-game series aren't enough to determine a true champion. BCS and CFB have it closer than NCAA Bball right now as they actually factor in regular season play. Both are flawed, but I'll stick with watching two teams that didn't lose a NCAA record for a bball champ of 9 games this year.

    New Basketball Court Trend

    I'm probably in the very small minority, but the fact that there is a Nike symbol on Louisville's and Nebraska's (two Adidas schools) courts really bothers me more than the designs.

    No Hitter

    Edwin Jackson for Arizona. Went on the DL less than a month later if memory serves. Then he was traded to the White Sox.

    No Hitter

    I 100% agree that it was the right move. I just selfishly wanted to watch it and had just changed the channel to the game when they pulled him.

    No Hitter

    He was at 101 pitches, so it wasn't likely that he would have been able to keep the no hitter or go the distance anyway. Still interesting that they pulled him I thought.

    No Hitter

    Just got on here to post about a active no-hitter vs the Rays. Chris Tillman hadn't allowed a hit trough 6 IP but was pulled. Still an active team no-hitter, but those are lame.

    nance and kellogg??

    Yes they would have to go through an intermediary and I don't think I would pay $10 for one game either. It was just an idea and I don't know all of the logistics, but I think it would be rather easy to provide multiple PxP and color guys for multiple sports.

    nance and kellogg??

    CBS doesn't show many CBB games during the regular season unless it is the weekend. Nantz is also their main golf guy so he does that on the weekends when they actually do have CBB games. I would be willing to bet that there weren't all that many opportunities for Nantz to call CBB games until...

    nance and kellogg??

    True, which is why it would be dumb for them to air it on CBS & TNT. But with a pay-per-view option, you could air the exact same commercials and just add the ratings together. Also, they could put Gus on CBS standard definition if they really wanted to give that to us for free and still not...
