^ Yep. All of the SRs were recruited to the Big East before there were even any rumors of going to the ACC for Va Tech. And BC hasn't upped their recruiting in the least since switching over. Nor has Miami.

Greenberg is a damn good coach though and players are wanting to play for VT because of him I'm guessing.. He probably just didn't have enough time to get his players while they were in the Big East.

"It's amazing to me how two not so special Big East teams -- save one good year by BCU at the end -- have been this good in the ACC..."

The leadership of Dowdell, Gordon, and Collins is worth so much, it can't be emphasized enough, the Mickey D's crew found that out tonight. They have sweet sixteen talent, nothing else, as they have no march experience. However, I wouldn't be surpirsed to see Greenburg start to snag some great recruits and build something semi special in the next 4 seasons.

2/14/2007 12:15:48 AM

hahah, all those threads remind me of the ones on here... see, not only NC State fans think everyone is always out to get them...

Quite the dilemma. On one hand it's Duke. On the other hand, it's BCU. I hate both programs and I hate both fanbases.

I guess it comes down to this. Duke doesn't have a history of choking. BCU chokes EVERY YEAR in EVERY SPORT at some point. They have literally NO chance of ever winning an ACC title in any revenue sport so I don't have to worry about that. Their fans suck and they have no following in New England. They are the red headed bastard child of New England, the ACC, and of Catholic schools in America. In other words they aren't a threat.

Therefore, I will cheer for BCU and hope that Jared Dudley breaks his face on McEurope's shin. Above all, I will pray Greg Paulus stays healthy once again.

p.s. - I'll be spending Valentine's Day watching Duke-BCU, drinking beer, eating pizza, and talking to my g/f on AIM. I'm awesome.

Jesus Christ, Florida is down bigtime to Bama

2/14/2007 8:23:02 PM

hell yeah they are

2/14/2007 8:27:11 PM

Ugh, I can't believe I"m going to root for a team that has that piece of shit Dudley on it. Though I do hope we see some punches and shoves like the past few games..

2/14/2007 9:03:31 PM

5 in a row

2/14/2007 9:05:36 PM

The Gators have overcome double-digit deficits in a couple of games recently...hopefully, they'll be able to do it again. But, with the NCAA tournament starting in 4 weeks, they need to start playing 40 minutes, instead of just half a game.

2/14/2007 9:18:30 PM

Penn St outscored Ohio St 43-24 in the 2nd half.

Ended up losing by 2.

2/14/2007 9:24:37 PM

Gators 76, Bama 67....17th straight win!

2/14/2007 10:02:36 PM

airball a free throw lol

2/14/2007 10:43:29 PM

Dukes 11 point stiff arm is like UMD's 7 point stiff arm

2/14/2007 10:48:53 PM

duke just may lose after they were up by 24 less than 15 minutes ago ...

2/14/2007 10:53:05 PM

What a chokejob this would be by Paulus and co.

2/14/2007 10:54:57 PM

I want k to lose 5 in a row so fucking bad, but I cant bring myself to pull for BC

2/14/2007 10:55:02 PM

They are passing up easy shots to take time off the clock.


It's gonna kill them.

2/14/2007 10:55:14 PM

Yep, they're hanging on for dear life.

2/14/2007 10:56:35 PM

BC wants to replace Duke at UMD as the best comeback of all time

2/14/2007 10:57:26 PM

Holy shit, Wake's about to win another game.

2/17/2007 3:01:16 PM

Vandy just beat Florida pretty handily.....83-70

App beats Wichita St....just thought i would add it, seeing as how Wichita St was #8 at one time this year.

[Edited on February 17, 2007 at 3:11 PM. Reason : .]

2/17/2007 3:10:35 PM

vandy just beat #1 florida

[Edited on February 17, 2007 at 3:11 PM. Reason : 7 seconds too slow]

2/17/2007 3:10:42 PM

After the Gators had played several sloppy first halves recently, they had it coming. Maybe losing a game will lead to renewed focus; if not, they could be looking at a 2nd or 3rd round exit from the NCAAs.

2/17/2007 3:15:59 PM

anyone else think Florida is really garbage but isn't challenged/ gets lucky breaks?

i thought this all last season, especially following them thru the NCAA tourney.. it was like every real difficult team they were supposed to play either lost or had their worst shooting day ever, etc

2/17/2007 3:17:58 PM

there's something on the florida boards about a UF player slugging a fan

2/17/2007 3:18:09 PM

^5

and ASU beat Vandy earlier this season

2/17/2007 3:19:40 PM

2/17/2007 10:41:06 PM

hell of a shot by rice.

2/17/2007 10:55:43 PM

and then 3 bricks from Dudley...

2/17/2007 10:58:53 PM

As much as I wanted to see Carolina lose, it felt good to see that 'celebrate every play' ass-clown Dudley totally blow the game on two separate occasions at the end.

2/17/2007 11:11:34 PM

is that cathobitch still around? cause them punks got skewled (ok i doubt i'll have much back up for this one)

2/17/2007 11:49:29 PM

denny green supports the BC choke.

2/17/2007 11:56:45 PM

wow Drexel is doing everything they can to let Creighton win and Creighton is doing everything not to take it

2/18/2007 12:04:27 AM

Ga Tech isn't looking good against dook

2/18/2007 1:50:00 PM

its because GT sucks and Duke's going to win this game by 15-20


Minnesota held their own for awhile, but damn... down 12 at half.

2/18/2007 1:57:01 PM

GT really is pretty terrible. no discipline at all, like a glorified pick up team

2/18/2007 2:04:19 PM

where is Sunday Night Hoops tonight....DAMMIT there is nothing on
