All you can eat Fridays!

Welcome to another edition of the incoherent all you can eat Friday's segment!

  • Unless the situation involves confidentiality or privacy issues, BC should let us know what was the offense(s) that led to Sean Williams and Akida McClain getting kicked out. This is starting to sound like an Orwellian nightmare. I hope it's not as silly as the Notre Dame situation of simply carrying herbs on one's person...
  • Clever move by the Orange Krush to show their cellphones to 500-phone-call-violation Kelvin Sampson.
  • Quotable Seth Greenberg: "I like my team, Roy (Williams) likes both of his teams".
  • Jay Bilas and Digger Phelps seem to have sided with Kelvin Sampson on the Eric Gordon recruiting soap opera.
  • Sportsmanship moment: A Virginia Tech player prevented a Maryland player from getting a serious injury by slowing down his fall. He earned a "kudos" from the G-Man during the broadcast (I forgot who the player was).
  • Memo to ESPN: Can you please stop interrupting live action games for those silly 30-30 updates? At least do the updates in a voice-over! There is no need to show stock images of some random baseball player instead of the live game in progress. You have 10 TVs time-outs and 15 minutes of halftime to do all the updates you want!
  • Memo to CBS: Can you please assign Verne Lundquist to golf and other slow motion games? He is so out of sync with the game and the players... Marquette's "Barro" is not "Barrio". Speaking of Marquette, if Wes Matthews ever gets tired of basketball, he can always start the Wesley Matthews Band. It has a nice ring to it...
  • Memo to Officials, Refs and Zebras:. It is time to start T-ing up Coaches when they get out of the box and particularly when enter the court when the action is on the other side or other half of the court. Ben Howland is one of the most obnoxious ones. T-him up!


    Myth Busters
  • Pac-10 games are fun!. Well, not if UCLA, Washington State, Arizona State, California or Oregon State are playing...
  • Coach K is not the D*v*L. Mike Patrick said that Coach K told him Clemson would make almost all their free throws last night. And they did. How else could he know it? :-)
  • Mike Patrick is not a Duke homer. He was shocked that Duke was so low in the polls (#10). I am shocked they are so high in the polls!
  • Bruce Pearl is human. Not true. If you watched Tennessee women's game, you discovered that Bruce Pearl is an Orange Smurf!

    Mike Patrick is my least favorite college hoops guy. Craig Ehlo's pretty close when he does GU games, but Patrick and his don't-take-a-breath-for-six-sentences takes the cake.

    LOL. And then he ends the six-sentence marathon with "Holy Cow!".

    As far as Ehlo is concerned, just like former players don't necessarily make good coaches, former players don't necessarily make good tv experts. What happened to the guy who did the Zags home games on FSN/FoxCollegeSports the previous years?

    Jeff Brown?
    I don't know...he was at the game tonight. They showed him on TV with his little guy. Maybe that's why he left.
    Former Zag center Richard Fox does color for the radio broadcasts. I've never heard him, but a lot of Zag fans are calling for him to get picked up to do the games on TV.

    ncaahoops said...

    Yes Jeff Brown, I forgot his name... Ehlo seems to be all over the place, I saw him on some Versus/MWC broadcasts as well.

    Richard Fox would be an interesting match-up if the FSN analysts play the ESPN analysts - he could guard Bilas :)
