Tournament (Non-UConn) Thread - 2nd Round

I never liked him as SJ coach but he's ok.

Nova coach. I think he is a solid color guy. Not the best but far from the worst.

Starting multiple games at noon limits west coast audience, who outside of diehards are gonna start watching at 915 am

When I lived in California I loved loved loved being able to watch sports starting at 9 am.

Yup. Its great. And you were wrapped up at 10pm.

SJ, Nova, let's not get bogged down in the details.

Yup, this side of it was huge too. Most of the games I cared about were around dinner time and over by 8 at the latest. Football was terrific.

The only downside was baseball and some basketball games that started at 7 Eastern when I was at work and I'd have to follow the first half online.

I got fired from the J Paul Getty art museum for continuously leaving early in April 86 to watch the Rangers in the NHL playoffs at 4pm puck drops. Whalers too that year.

Lappis, Lavin? Close enough.

The worst was way back when and only CBS carried all the games.....and the 1st round Thur / Fri you would have to wait for them to "switch" to a close game if you were stuck with a dud in your market. Ahhh the good old days, many things were better but not the NCAA Tourney coverage.

And then for the years that ESPN took it, it was like the Sunshine after a long storm. Then CBS took it back and it went downhill.

only one of them looks like Vince from Deputy Dawg

Gold Key!

It's not even the quality of the commentating. His voice just grates on me. Something about the combo of his accent and the way he talks

 

[Hi-Low]

Hopefully Illinois beats Duquesne...they should...want IA St to have a real test in sweet 16.

 

[Hi-Low]

Need Oakland in sweet 16

 

[phillionaire]

Crowd is like a home game for Oakland lol this tournaments so great

Must be amazing to be able to watch football almost as soon as you wake (depending on when you get up) and then enjoy the rest of your day afterwards.

UT vs UT, both teams flying around playing super fast and missing everything.

Gold Key is in his 40s

This kid has some kind of hairline. It’s majestic.

Very chiseled features - he could play the stand-in for any Superman movie.

Gold Key is in his 40s

He got an nil deal from TurboTax

 

[Tenspro2002]

Yeah I'm not sure I'd be saying "I want Illinois to win so Iowa State gets tested." Illinois is the more dangerous team and I'd rather just get them out of here. Not happening though.

 

[superjohn]

Rocket Watts still stinks

He's not a kid, he's your age.

 

[storrsroars]

Does anybody else find Lappas incredibly annoying?

Whenever I hear Lappas I think of Garry Marshall as the casino owner in "Lost In America".

"We don't have Santy Claus."

 

[superjohn]

This is flat out robbery.
