Irisheyes and stablersfan, you guys don't know what you're missing! College bb is so exciting....that's a North Carolinian's opinion for you there. happy.gif
IrishEyes
I never said I didn't watch college basketball... I just don't make it a point to watch every game...
yankeesfan
Well, there are alot of games.....it would be impossible to watch all of them. And some of them aren't as good as others. ACC games are usually alot better then...say.....PAC 10.
IrishEyes
The PAC 10 has some good teams in it....UCLA has won more National Titles than anyone else in Div. I basketball....

i'll watch it if i catch a game, but like Irisheyes said, im not going to make it my priority to see the games. i use to play basketball but for some reason i cant seem to get into a game watching it. i went to a Knicks game once, one of the most boaing things i've ever done, i hated it.
yankeesfan
Well no wonder...it was a Knicks game! tongue.gif
IrishEyes
I don't really care for pro basketball....too much run and gun and not enough playing the game...they are too busy trying to be gangsters or singers that they lost what basketball is really about...all the fundementals....that is why the Europeans are beating us in basketball they have the Fundamentals of the game and we lack them, and only play street ball....ok I am getting off my high horse now...sorry...
yankeesfan
You're right....the NBA is not real basketball. I usually only watch NCAABK.
IrishEyes
Tomorrow is national signing day for college football....I can't wait to see who gets who...because nothing is official until that paper is signed....kids change their minds too often for me to believe what they say or give a verbal committment....
yankeesfan
More importantly- Tomorrow Duke plays Evil UNC at Cameron Indoor. I wish I was a Cameron Crazie. rolleyes.gif I have a Cameron Crazie tee-shirt and I like to do whatever the Crazies are doing while I'm watching a Duke game. rolleyes.gif

I do prefer football and baseball to any other sport....with college basketball coming in third (but mostly in March)....but I do watch all sports except NASCAR and golf (I just don't like them)

...but I am a sports junkie...again thanks to my dad...we always watched sports together....and talk about all different sports...



i love sports thanks to my brother lol. my parents like sports, but they dont really watch it unless its OSU lol. i like football,basketball, and baseball. if im at a hockey game i love it!! golf is ok.
yankeesfan

stablersfan

IrishEyes
Stablersfan...you will do fine...relax...they will love your work...you are a good writer...

and Yankeesfan...this is for you...lol...sorry just had to do it...



sorry about the Duke loss to NC yesterday...that makes 3 out of 4 wins for them...it was a pretty good game...I caught only the first half...but it was good....

My Irish finished 7th in the nation when it came to the national signing day for college football....
yankeesfan
I'm afraid the tissues are a litttle too late. And unless they're super tissues they wouldn't have done much to stop my flood of tears.

The first half was the good half. During the last quarter of the game Duke started missing easy shots. Missing wide open layups! Missing free throws! That's why they lost the game...........
yankeesfan
Irisheyes, what do you think of this article? Do you think the Red Sox are going to get their money's worth this year?
IrishEyes
Before I even read the article I say they will not get what they are paying for....Dice K is unproven and our number one starter is old...but they should have a good team this year....and once I read the article I still say that they will not get what they paid for...JD Drew isn't worth the money I would have rather kept Trot Nixon....We should have kept our second basemen too....but I am not the GM...only time will tell.....
yankeesfan
With the addition of Matsuzaka I think their rotation will be good enough to get them a wild-card berth. They're definatly not going to finish third this year! I'de say second place in the AL East........
IrishEyes
I am hoping for first place in the division...I don't see the Yankees old arms holding up in that long season....
yankeesfan
They did last season. wink.gif
yankeesfan
Did you guys here about the Bears fan, who lost a bet that the Bears would win the Super Bowl, and who now has to legally change his name to Peyton manning?
IrishEyes
No I didn't hear about it...I don't know if I would do that...I always pay up on my bets, but I don't think that I would have bet my name...its too important to me...

My Irish are losing to DePaul....we need to win to keep our tournament hopes alive...
yankeesfan
Sorry that your Irish lost Irish eyes. here....you might want those tissues back (even though I'm not sure you'll really need them).


On a happier note, the Duke women won big against the Tar Heels. They've now decapitated every good opponent they've played. Maryland, Tennesse, UNC--they're playing awsome!
Bubba_Bridges
Hi Bubba here, thanks for making a part two for this thread. smile.gif
yankeesfan
Glad you're back Bubba!!!! It really wasn't the same without you! I shaking uncontrolably right now...o.k....time to calm down....where's Irisheyes when you really need her......she's so calming......

Anyway, I'm so happy you're back. Just wait until the morning when everyone finds that you're back!!!
IrishEyes
Thanks for my tissues back Yankeesfan...

Did you guys hear that the NCAA is looking into USC for recruiting violations when they were recruiting McNight from NO....the rules state that no recruit may talk with a former player during the recruiting process...it has come to everyones attention that McNight spoke with Reggie Bush....I wonder what the NCAA will do...especially now that that problems with Reggie while at USC have surfaced....

Bubba welcome back....
yankeesfan
I know this sounds nasty (that's because it it), but I hope USC gets in trouble. I don't like USC....... wink.gif
IrishEyes
I dont wish trouble on anyone...I just want to win fair and square...I don't like cheaters...

An old teacher of mine once (no often said) I don't like to point fingers at anyone b/c when you point at someone you have at least three fingers pointing back at you....
yankeesfan
And that has to do with USC how? Or does it have something to do w/me?
IrishEyes
Towards USC.....sorry if it read like it was meant towards you...not my intention
yankeesfan
I didn';t take it one way or the other...it was kinda confusing. wink.gif I'm already missing football.
IrishEyes
It will be back soon enough....lets play baseball....
yankeesfan
o.k........what baseball should we talk about?

It's sad that Hank Bauer died......but he lived to age 84 and at least that's a long ( and hopefully enjoyed) life.
Bubba_Bridges

Sad indeed. In the NBA, the Boston Celtics have now loss 17th striaght.
yankeesfan
The Celtics are the NBA's equivalent of the Oakland Raiders. Poor Celtics fans....as for me, I never root for a New England team......I sort of feel sorry for Celtics fans anyway.
IrishEyes
I think that guy from Ohio State may be the person to go to the Celtics next year...they will definately be a lottery pick...and maybe pick up a guy that can turn that team around next year...
Bubba_Bridges
Hi Bubba here, I agree. It's between Boston and Memphis who might get the chance to pick first.
IrishEyes
It doesn't seem like there are many NASCAR fans out there, but what do you guys think of what Junior is doing??? Junior is asking for 51 percent of DEI. But, "100 percent would be nice."....
Bubba_Bridges
Hi Bubba here, I might be the only NASCAR fan on this board. Dale Jr. should be able to run D.E.I. I just hope it's not going to get ugly. I wouldn't mind seeing him drive his father old car #3 soon.
Bubba_Bridges
Hi Bubba here, in other NASCAR news, Tony Stewart just won the Bud Shootout at Daytona. Congratulations to the #20 team. cool.gif

Greg Oden. yeah he probably will go to the Celtics, but i wish he would stay with OSU...but yeah right.
yankeesfan
Not a fan of NASCAR at all. I made the mistake of going to a rodio once, and Dale Jr. made an apperance at the event. In a speech he made to the crowd he said something like, "There are only three real sports. NASCAR, bull riding....."...don't remember the last one. mad.gif NO buddy! The three real sports are football, basketball and baseball!!
I noticed ESPN has been showed an unusually high number of NASCAR commercials lately.

As far as Jr goes, I think he should be able to do what he want to do with the company. I wonder why his step-mother is making things so difficult, doesn't she know that she would be better off with jr then without him?
IrishEyes
I think things go deeper with Jr. and his step-mother go deeper than with DEI....

Qualifying for the Daytona 500 is on now...
svuswimmer
so what does everyone think about the exNBA star admiting he was gay. personally it doesnt bother me. just some of the comments people made about him brothered me.
yankeesfan
I could care less that he's gay. Who really cares? Seriously! Some people are so obbsessed with other people's lives...........
svuswimmer
exaclty. the whole media thing was out of controll. they should just leave him alone.
