Bill Rafferty = best college commentator

[i seen hippos]

Neither can Statman. You must have been ecstatic though. Just dancing all over the place.

I'm sorry, I'm thinking about all the ways MSU will dominate Kansas on Friday....What was it you were saying?

[TheGame414]

I still can't believe Arizona lost that game. lol

There's a difference between "losing" and having something taken from you by the other team. I'm obviously biased but I never considered that a major choke-job by Arizona except for their last possessions in both regulation and OT.

Errr, you realize Illinois fans would want that to happen, right? (In my case, it's just because I cheer for most Big Ten schools in the tourney and has nothing to do with Kansas. Unfortunately in a lot of cases, it's because a lot of our fans still cheer against Self, but whatever.)

[i seen hippos]

But considering that Illinifan keeps implying I'm an Illinois fan, it was deserved. lol

I was going to mention the choke job in OT as well. Nice shot selection dumbass. lol

Off topic: You pick up Seth Davis' book about the '79 season?

Off topic: You pick up Seth Davis' book about the '79 season?

No. On top of being a tool I've never thought Davis was a particularly good writer, and it's a topic that's been beaten to death. Most sports books suck and I try my best to find the exceptions to that rule, of which I doubt Davis's book is.

I did read two excellent basketball books in the last few weeks: "The Miracle of St. Anthony" by Adrian Wojnarowski, about St. Anthony High School in New Jersey and coach Bob Hurley. The other was "Seven Seconds or Less" by Jack McCallum, the SI basketball writer, who spent as a season as an "assistant coach" with the Suns. Both of them are a few years old and I finally got around to reading both, and I highly recommend either of them.

I never read sports books so I probably won't get around to those. I just saw really good reviews of Davis' book. Only reason I'm thinking about reading it is because it's MSU. lol

[TheGame414]

I don't blame you for not reading them because like I said, most of them suck. I still read my fair share of them, though, but I don't bother unless it's a topic of particularly high interest to me or I know the writer is an excellent one, as McCallum and Wojnarowski both are.

hahahahaahaaa he just did it at the opening of the Pitt vs Xavier game!

Bill owns!

[Kebab Stall]

What did he say at the start of the Pitt game? I heard him say something, but couldn't make it out.

Either way, it was hilarious.

[InspiredLebowski]

And Digger Phelps is an idiot. I really heard him say Purdue isn't a tough or physical team. He's been hating on the Big Ten all year. Get Knight next to him every show to pimpslap him.

[i seen hippos]

Digger will never get over his hate for MSU. lol

I guess picking Kansas is a good omen though.

[wang4three]

The way Digger hates on the Big 10, you'd think they murdered his family.

[TheGame414]

I don't know why anyone cares what Digger Phelps says in the first place. He was a scumbag as a college coach and as an "analyst" he's an absolute clown, a human caricature. Vitale is a caricature too, but at least he has fun with it and realizes it.

[biglami]

"the KISS off the glass"...haha I love Raffery

[DwadeOverLebron]

rafferty is also by far my favorite
