Guess we'll find out today about the rest of the season

The game will not mean much (hard to believe I can say that about a VU-GU game), but the extent of DO's injury will probably become clearer. Unless I've missed something, nothing official (although there's been a ton of speculation - see previous thread).

I'll be disappointed like I haven't been in a long while if he can't fully perform. I'm tired of the national sniping at us because we can't get past the2nd round. I think with DO we are an elite 8 team, and if we get lucky with who we play, calls by refs, etc, we can be a final 4 team. maybe even further, but it will be far enough to silence the critics.

About That Sold out Game at WFC

I guess Villanova is the only basketball team in town to sell out that place but you wouldn't know by reading the PDN.

In that rag for dead fishes that disguises for a newspaper NOT A SINGLE WORD ABOUT VILLANOVA!
And they wonder why they are about to disappear.
You would think that about 20,000 might want to read something about what they are going to see tomorrow.
But no!
In that rag for cat litter that disguises for a newspaper it's all about the Amazin Iggles and two or three of the other city team but NAY A WORD ABOUT VILLANOVA.

I guess all those 20,000 people tomorrow must be from out of state.

PTI on B.C

Wilbon and Kornheiser just ripped B.C. related to their winless football and basketball teams. Blamed them for starting the upheaval of the leagues in college sports. They were money grubbing and do not belong in the ACC. Their teams have suffered for the move, etc. And Wilbon hopes they never win another game. Very harsh... loved it. If you missed it - watch it on espn2 in Half hour.

Lykes, #14 Gonzaga fall to #1 HD Woodson in OT

Didn't see it myself, but sounds like a barn burner. Lykes with 31.

OT: Taking Questions Threads

I've really enjoyed reading the What Would it Mean to You thread as people share their stories.

I see these occasionally on the 4.6 Board and while a number of the questions/responses tend to be idiotic, I do enjoy reading through some of them to learn more about the posters...would anyone have any interest and would anyone object if we occasionally had those here?

Gottlieb at it again

Listening to Sirius college hoops radio yesterday, Gottlieb was a guest on the show (Packer/Brennan?).
They asked him for a final word, so his response? "I'm just not buying the Nova thing." Then the shpiel. Ouch.

I understand the whole argument from a Nova fan's perspective, and from his too.

In many respects, I can't help but feel like a comparison to Gonzaga's history in March is a comparison in certain respects. Consistent high winning percentage before March, and an early exit with a high seed for a number of years. The conference is not nBE, but the nBE is still not considered a power conference.

Let's hope this year's team can do some real damage as march progresses so that this conversation can finally be put to rest.
