"You hear people say they want things so much they can taste it, and I never knew what they meant," said (Willie) Lucas, a 6-4 senior forward from Brooklyn. "Now I do. We want that national championship. It's all I'm dreaming about right now."

-From Wednesday's Utica OD

As a Utica alum and a Utica sports fan, this gives me chills to realize how close we really are to a national title.

fisheralum91,budcrew,col, where are you guys ? ice fishing,milking the cows ? certainly pretty quiet about hoops. maybe you're smart and don't speak unless you have something to say. if that's the case i won't hear anything from you stooges. if you want talk hoops i'm here. i can tell you one thing i know about amherst..........

Hey, assclown, some of us have work to do, so we can't post all day on d3hoops.com. For a fact, I know that fisheralum91 and myself are both professionals with all day jobs... (not sure about col -- I don't know that much about him)
So shut up already, jizzbag.

[fisheralum91]

Yeah,
What he said!

I like to say that I professionally surf the internet at my day job.  Actually Red I've been stuck on the phone most of the day with my sister talking about that Bachelor final episode.  I can't get over it!  Can you believe Moana let herself break down like that?!  It's like, hello?? You know this is going on national television right?!

So who plays this weekend?

Auerbach, are you insinuating that all E8 fans/alums are hicks? You are aware that 3 of the 8 teams in the league are in the Rochester-area, right? You know, a normal operating city. Probably the state's best behind NYC. Amherst is a thriving metropolis, right?

The reason you're not hearing much chatter about this weekend's games is twofold:

1) As has been mentioned before, this is the FOURTH time these two schools have played. There isn't much analysis left to do between the two squads. Everyone knows it's gonna take an almost perfect game from Utica coupled with a below average effort from Fisher for Utica to advance. That or Fisher starts getting the shakes when they walk in the gym because of memories from last year's debacle.

2)Nobody knows much about the Amherst/Tufts game and there's no point breaking down the likely Elite 8 matchup quite yet. It's only Wednesday.

Re: Col's employment. I know he and Bamm work together and the employment relationship can best be summed up as Bamm does all the work and Col draws pictures of Bamm on the dry-erase board. They can confirm that more than I can.

Very nice, col. +1K for you.... although did you have to go with a Bachelor reference?

Hey Col... care to confirm/comment? 

[fisheralum91]

Yeah,
I would have preferred an American Idol or Dancing with the stars reference!

[dewcrew88]

Or Skating with Celebrities... which I did NOT watch, by the way

[fisheralum91]

C'mon that was some great TV!   
Budcrew- it is an honor to be your big brother!

Speaking of American Idol, that's my one "take it for the team" show, as Bill Simmons puts it. If you have a girlfriend, you're in this boat. In the process of checking various odds at online gambling sites, I noticed you could bet on who you think would win this season. I checked the odds, obviously. I've always thought that heavy, black woman (Mandisa) was the best one. If I bet $100 on her yesterday and she ended up winning, I could have one $895. Today, when I checked, if I bet $100 on her and she wins I could only win $163. Talk about missing out on a good investment.

I will now look all over the law school for my testicles.

[fisheralum91]

Try being married to an Idol fan!

[superman57]

I should smite all of you for talking this much about American Idol or any other show where people make idiots of them selves

I'd rather not comment, but I can show you this lovely Where's Waldo parody I drew outside of bamm's cubicle.



And by "cubicle" I mean, Corporate Headquarters.
