rexman72 210 #101 Posted March 29, 2014 steve whats going on is college athletics is big big money.The schools want to be in conferences where they can recruit the big name players.Boston college saw the light a few years ago and joined the acc so they have been losing big name schools.The big 10 should be the big 14 next year.

stevasaurus 22,271 #102 Posted March 29, 2014 (edited) Hey Duke...how's that old horseshoe fitting right now...hope you guys did not use up all of that karma yet. Saving yourselves for Louisville or Kentucky... Rexman...I think you are right to a point...but what happened to the Big 12...Oklahoma, Nebraska, Arkansas, Colorado, Texas, Iowa St. ( ) One of the best conferences in the nation breaking up...I know it is about money, but this does not make any since. These guys are all about basketball and football...the Big East was never really about football. I just think there is a little more to it??? I am all ears...I do not get it either. As a FAN, I do not see the plus in all of this. My 2 cents. Let me know what you think...or anyone else also. Edited March 29, 2014 by stevasaurus Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevasaurus 22,271 #103 Posted March 29, 2014 Hello Duke...Michigan won 15 minutes ago...and you are not in here yet...Lake Effect??? Time Change??? Getting the heart paddles out??? Looking for a little Rock & Rye??? A little electrolysis on the ole horseshoe??? Realizing Michigan is OVERRATED??? Keeping a low profile??? Abducted by aliens??? Found a RJ59 with the sticker serial number??? Celebrating with MJ??? Well, anyway...congratulations on the 2nd Big Ten team making it to the ELITE 8... 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevasaurus 22,271 #115 Posted March 31, 2014 What a difference a day makes. 2 SEC teams...1 Big 10 and 1 AAC in the final four. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bowtieguy 334 #116 Posted March 31, 2014 And thanks to both Mich teams my family bragging rights just went south...bumped me down to 2nd place but I've still got FL to win it all. What makes it worse is I got beat out by my 6 year old grandson....he is a sports guru for his age but picked Wichia St to win it all..maybe I can beat him yet! I might have to pick KY next year unless all their freshman go PRO!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevasaurus 22,271 #118 Posted March 31, 2014 (edited) You guys realize that this years brackets were all messed up because of Global Warming and the fact that our solar system is passing through the plane of the Milky Way Galaxy. It's all about gravity...and oil. Edited March 31, 2014 by stevasaurus 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevasaurus 22,271 #121 Posted March 31, 2014 Actually, the force of gravity is changing every day as we pass through the plane...that is why no team shoots good in the first half. It takes a while to get used to the gravity for the day....not to mention....that the gravity is different in the Midwest then it would be on the East Coast or in the West, or in the South for that matter. The teams that are playing closer to home...have an advantage in that regard...it is more of a minor change to get used to the space/time concept. With all that being said...the final 4 is played in Texas...(Texas has it's own gravity)...the closest team to Texas (Kentucky) has the inside road here. Obviously, I am pulling for Wisconsin...but when was the last time any of us has beat gravity?? On a side note...my vertical leap has suffered greatly in the last 2 years...I blame gravity for this. It is NOT my fault. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
