Well. Lookee here. The Big Ten is the cleanest league, by far, in College hoops

[Condem]

According to 20 high profile coaches representing the power conferences. The worst? You guessed it. The SEC. http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/columns/story?columnist=oneil_dana&id=5398415 What a surprise!

[Condem]

1. By gosh. Let's get a list of a couple of folks who we won't be hearing from in this thread:

era veteran, upton, Jon LP, Any Big Least motherfucker, the hideous ACC backers, El Supremo and the cheating Big 12 (LOL! the Big Ten, now)...whom am I missing??

[trumad]

2. You do know you're repying to yourself?

[Condem]

3. Somebody's gotta stir the pot, tru.

I'd mention you, but I don't recall you being a huge college hoop fan.

[trumad]

4. you got me there

[Condem]

5. I will issue some congrats on getting Seantrel (sp) from USC.

My take is he should start right away. No?

[davidinalameda]

12. as a Big Least motherfucker

which programs are you talking about?

[era veteran]

14. era veteran here, I love playing the game. If you are hated

you must be kicking some serious crybaby ass. Go Cats

[TZ]

6. Hideous ACC?

Ummm, when was the last time the ACC was cited for basketball issues? Maryland's problems 25 years ago? WTF Condem? Michigan and Ohio State have had LOTS of really really bad things go on in their basketball programs.
How many ACC teams have won the Tournament in the last decade..NC, Maryland, Duke...Yeah, sounds hideous to me. Aye Carumba, this conference superiority attitude you have is really stupid Condem. And you are talking with someone who really likes OSU being from Ohio.

[Condem]

7. Must not of read the whole article, there, Vilsack.

These are coaches talking. What next, TZ? The ol' racist card?

[TZ]

9. LOL

So the students are grading themselves -thats funny. Reminds me of the poll from the LA Lakers blog showing Kobe the favorite athelete--kinda meaningless. And unlike some assholes in this forum I don't do the race card. Thats disgusting and I think it reflects badly on YOU to accuse me of this.
In other words I'm sorry I thought there was some sort of OBJECTIVITY involved in this article. Silly me. More tripe.
But you didn't answer my question. Why is the ACC hideous? Last I checked, the ACC had a team that had recently won some silly basketball tournament.

[Upton]

8. C'mon now Condem

a lousy 11 out of 20 coaches claimed the Big Ten was the cleanest. How does that translate into "the cleanest league, by far"?

Btw, I believe Dana O'Neil covers the Big Ten on a regular basis...could there be a little bias creeping into her writing?

[TZ]

10. Also, we all know that basketball coaches have absolutely NO biases

when it comes to other schools and conferences. Nope. None at all. Just like ol Big Ten is Gawd Condem here...:sarcasm:

[Upton]

11. That's a good point..

notice in the article these 20 coaches surveyed are anonymous, so we have absolutely no idea who they are. We are assured they represent "each of the six power conferences"..but in what proportions? For all as we know, the vast majority of them could be from the Big Ten.

[era veteran]

13. Of the 20 coaches surveyed

A poll with 20 coaches is as worthless as a republican's promise. Condem I know you can try and shit on the SEC better than that. Go Cats

[era veteran]

15. Condem did you read the whole article?

Added another: "The perception is the SEC doesn't have a good reputation. I don't know if that's legit or fair. I was on the other side 10 years ago. If a program starts getting better, starts getting kids, the question is always the same: What's he doing? He's gotta be doing something. And that adds to the perception.''

One longtime coach said the image is slowly getting repaired.

"I do think by hiring guys like Anthony Grant at Alabama, the SEC is on the right track to cleaning things up.'' ...... Edited to add condem's name

[Condem]

16. Well. That was too easy.

If you're all in agreement with me, what's the point of the thread. Either that, or some of the lamest retorts. They were all Big Ten coaches that were polled. Yeah, Upton. That's it. You and your buddy, TZ, hit it right on the head. The writer is a Big Ten beat reporter. This is fall down funny shit. Oh, and TZ. One more thing. That shit you accused Trumad of in a soccer thread a couple weeks back was truly an embarrassing spectacle. I'm surprised you had the guts to continue here after that travesty. A fucking very low moment. Watch how you use the word stupid.

[madinmaryland]

17. upton and TZ are buddies? Lay-off the spray paint condem!

Next you'll be accusing me and cboy4 of being buddies.

:wtf:

[Condem]

18. Didn't you guys actually have a respectful conversation, recently?

He snuck in one night and I believe you two were civil. Maybe, I'm wrong. Well. Cboy's easily reached.

[madinmaryland]

19. Do you have any evidence of that??

:evilgrin:

[Condem]

20. Excellent, mad.

Watched the '79 classic OSU-Michigan Wednesday night. Art Schlichter at QB. I bet I know what he's doing now. Oops. A poor choice of words.
Last night, OSU-Minny in 89. Jim Frye and an amazing comeback. Good shit.

[madinmaryland]

21. I bet you are right about what Art is doing.

:rofl:

[Condem]

22. mad. The '74 OSU-UM game is on.

Cornelius Green. Rob Lytle. Some cat named Archie. Incredible.

[Condem]

23. Fuck me. Lantry missed the FG, again.

12-10. OSU. One helluva ballgame. With JoePa doing the color.

[madinmaryland]

24. I remember that one!! I also remember those years of catching the

game at 11:00 Saturday night on PBS in Ohio. They had the replay of the Buckeye games every weekend if the game was not on national television!

See. There was actually a reason to watch PBS, condem!!

[Condem]

25. I remember the College Football show on Sunday mornings.

One hour on ABC, mad. I believe it was Lindsay Nelson doing the play by play with Bud Wilkinson. Man. I lived for it.

[Condem]

26. Fuck no. It was Bill Fleming.

All these names from my childhood. Confusing.

[era veteran]

27. Word on the street, Gold is the best

I found a kid in front of our commune years ago that looked like that but he had a rolled up sock full of glue in his mouth too.
