A buddy picked the exact Final Four the year UConn beat Duke. It was alot of chalk that year(OK STATE and GA TECH I believe) . He touted himself the Final Four picker and talked so much **** in the CBS bracket chat. Of course, he missed both games and lost the pool.
Pretty much. Attitude went from "hey, beat Purdue and hope we don't get murdered too bad by a great UK team, lol" to "UK is beatable, HEART OVER HYPE, UConn did it last year, etc." with a real quickness. I guess when you eke out an OT win over a team that shoots SWEET JESUS 4-26 from the 3 pt. line, it's "turn the corner" time.
Didn't the 3 of us win money on this thing a couple years ago?
They always have. From Tony Yates to Bob Huggins and now Cronin, they're never a pleasing team to watch. Sure, every now and then they'll luck into a good offensive player like a Nick Van Exel, Steve Gentry, Kenyon Martin, etc. but for the most part it's a proud tradition of school yard rock fights.
After dropping BBdK off Sunday morning, I, OF COURSE, took Watterson west instead of east because I F that up everytime, and my phone only had 16% left so I didn't use my GPS. Thus, I went completely out of my way and ended up rolling through downtown. Yum! looks
Yeah...he's an ******* without question, but he's fun to hate. Characters like him make the sport great.
What makes it even more interesting is that Hurley didn't even go right into coaching. After he fell out of the NBA in
(TAPES ROOMMATE TO PLASTIC LAWN CHAIR, HITS HIM FACE WITH WEIGHT BAR, BURNS HIM WITH CIGARETTES & HEATED COAT HANGER & STABS HIM IN LEG)
That's kind of my point. Dan Hurley has *clearly* proven he's a very good coach at 2 different schools, and has all of the extras that come along with his name (his dad/recruiting ties/intangibles/etc), and yet we're hoping that freaking Seton Hall gives him a shout? Weird.
I think there's a REALLY good chance Coach K hand picks one of his lap dogs....
