**BCWWF** · 12-31-2004, 03:32 AM

I couldn't find an old thread, but I had to say something about Mizzou beating Gonzaga tonight.

We had a slow non-conference season, which was expected because we had a few decent teams and a lot of freshman, but now it looks as if things might be coming together and we may have a chance at getting into the big dance. Gonzaga was on a 7 game win streak coming into today with wins over OSU and Georgia Tech, so this is a pretty big game. Also we hung with Illinois a few weeks ago.

**The Outlaw** · 12-31-2004, 03:54 PM

Let down game for Gonzaga tonight. After beating two #3 teams, they probably thought they wouldn't have to show up and still could win. They were almost right too.

Turiaf is a beast though. He kinda looked similar to the godfather haha

**BCWWF** · 12-31-2004, 04:38 PM

He was shut down last night though, only 6 pts. I don't know if you watched the game, but the last three minutes or so were so poor on the part of both teams. I don't think any FGs were made.

**The Outlaw** · 01-01-2005, 05:44 PM

6 points?

Yeah I think it said he shot 2-15 or something, crazy.

He's usually dominant. He scored 40 earlier in the year. He's pretty nasty.

**BCWWF** · 01-02-2005, 02:41 PM

How about that Kansas win over Georgia Tech yesterday? I'm not really a fan of GT.

**The Outlaw** · 01-02-2005, 09:46 PM

I was flipping between that and something else, it was a close game. What was the final?

**BCWWF** · 01-02-2005, 09:52 PM

Dunno, Kansas in OT by two I think

**The Outlaw** · 01-02-2005, 09:54 PM

Nice.

**BCWWF** · 01-25-2005, 11:03 PM

This season is crazy, theres been a bunch of big games lately. Tonights Illinois/Wisconsin game was real good, I don't know if anybody watch the Rutgers/Syracuse game, but it came down to the last shot, real good game.

**The Outlaw** · 01-25-2005, 11:22 PM

Rutgers/Cuse was some straight up bull stuff. Rutgers top two scorers had 4 within two minutes into the second half and had to sit. They were beating the crap out of CUse too.

From what I've read and from what my dad told me anyway

**Crimson** · 01-25-2005, 11:23 PM

Can't wait for the tourny ,like every year. This year though there is a bunch of good teams who seem to be on the same level, so should be a good tourny.

**Jesus Shuttlesworth** · 01-25-2005, 11:53 PM

Boston College baby

**BCWWF** · 01-26-2005, 12:19 AM

There was a poll on ESPN.com asking which undefeated team would be the first to lose, and BC was overwhelmingly the choice. I voted for Duke, in my opinion BC would probably be the last to lose. Kansas plays in the Big XII with OSU, OU, UT, MU etc. Illinois would have been more likely too, Wisconsin, Michigan State etc, personally I voted for Duke because you can't go undefeated in the new ACC. I was wrong it turns out, but just because BC is the worst team doesn't mean they are going to lose any time soon. They already have the best of the Big East done with.

**Jesus Shuttlesworth** · 01-26-2005, 12:21 AM

Nobody is giving Boston College any credit because they usually aren't good. It's not like all those other teams are head and shoulders above BC. BC is pretty solid all around. Upfront with Smith, then in the backcourt with Dudley.

**BCWWF** · 01-26-2005, 01:07 AM

The big thing about BC is that even though they aren't the best team in the Big East (by most peoples opinions at least), they could pretty easilly win it outright. They already upset UConn and now have Syracuse and Pitt at home.

**The Outlaw** · 01-27-2005, 02:32 AM

They almost lost to Providence tonight.

Duke went down.

Bama beat the Barn by 5 or so after leading by 15.

Auburn was awarded the tainted PNC at halftime...

**BCWWF** · 01-27-2005, 02:52 AM

Whats the PNC?

Bo · 01-27-2005, 12:26 PM

Peoples National Championship for football. And the funny thing about it they cut the voting short due to USC almost taking it.

**The Outlaw** · 01-27-2005, 06:33 PM

Oh no, USC took it.

http://www.al.com/forums/tide/index.ssf?artid=770988

That's a link for the whole story. The funny thing is, they are getting giddy over a national championship award by two small town newspapers but they give us hell for claiming one from Billingsley or Sagarin or Dunkel. Ours are, at least, legitimate, using the criteria of the day.

**The Outlaw** · 01-27-2005, 06:38 PM

**The Miz** · 02-12-2005, 11:59 PM

LOL OMG did anybody see that JJ Redick thing on SportsCenter. He talked about how Maryland fans make fun of him and sounded like such a pussy and then he read his unbelievably awful poetry which reminded me of Kip Dynamite. Seriously I hate this guy so much more now.

**BCWWF** · 02-13-2005, 12:21 AM

Haha yeah I saw that too. I never really had an opinion on him, so I kind of felt for him, but meh. Pretty good game by Maryland.

The Mizzou/Oklahoma game today was so much fun. I felt sick so I wasn't sure if I was going to go, but I ended up and it was so worth it. The first half OU broke away and went up by like 14 points, then we came back and it was crazy, then we went down by 10 again, and came back again! After Jason Conley jumped the scorers table the crowd got crazy and totally messed with OU. We should have won it in regulation, but OT was just as good. I rushed and got onto the floor, they have these elderly people who just stick their arms out and don't do anything. By far the most fun game of the season (I wasn't there for the win over Gonzaga). I think next year we will have a shot at making the tourny. It was also kind of cool because OU has three Minnesotan guys, one, Lawrence McKenzie, is pretty good and I saw him play when he was a senior at Patrick Henry in 2002. So that was cool too.

I just can't wait for March Madness, I am dying to fill out the brackets and sit watching games all day. I hope we get ESPNU here too, that will be huge for Championship Week.

JJ is a solid player. I dunno, if I had a 12 year old sister and a bunch of college guys were saying they had sex with her, I might be angry too.

**Supreme Olajuwon** · 02-16-2005, 01:47 PM

JJ Redick is the biggest bitch in college basketball

**The Outlaw** · 02-16-2005, 01:55 PM

I dunno. I always seem to like guys who have a little swag to em. He can be a "bitch" all he wants when he shoots 95% from the FT line and 42% from downtown.

**Supreme Olajuwon** · 02-16-2005, 02:03 PM

What about a guy who turns the ball over and bricks an open 3 in the final 20 seconds of a Final Four game?

**The Outlaw** · 02-16-2005, 02:27 PM

Can't hit em all I don't guess...

Unless your name is Antoine Pettway.

**The Outlaw** · 02-19-2005, 08:04 PM

Ok, rushing the court has lost any kind of meaning to it. If it's an upset I see the point in it, but when the #6 teams beats the #9 team, it is pretty pointless.

**BCWWF** · 02-19-2005, 09:35 PM

You only rush if you are unranked and beat a ranked team, or if it is a big rivalry, ie Missouri and Kansas. Which one are you referring to?

**Jesus Shuttlesworth** · 02-20-2005, 02:03 PM

Referring to BC beating Syracuse last night

It was the biggest win in BC's history at home. Classic shit though, BC solidifies itself with a big win and people are instead talking about how the fans rushed the court. Haters

**BCWWF** · 02-20-2005, 03:28 PM

Thats tight, I don't like Syracuse.

**Jesus Shuttlesworth** · 02-20-2005, 03:56 PM

Boston College is a hockey school so that was a huge win. Not to mention the fact that 'Cuse knocked the BC football team out of a BCS game last season. So it was some payback.

I really though BC was going to lose to Syracuse. They had so much trouble with Notre Dame's zone I figured they would be toast againest Cuse's since Syracuse is probably the best in the nation when it comes to zone defense. I guess that ND game was just a fluke.

**Supreme Olajuwon** · 02-20-2005, 04:45 PM

Well the game against ND was at ND so that prolly had something to do with it

I dunno, I just don't see a #6 team beating a #9 team an upset. Especially 'Cuse, they have been struggling and underachieving this year IMO. I didn't mean to make you think I was picking on poor BC or anything, it was just an example but since that was their biggest win in history...

But yeah, fans have been rushing the court like crazy this year. That's why I thought it was pretty cool Duke didn't rush the court when they beat NC. #9 beating #2, biggest rivalry in basketbal, etc. etc.

**BCWWF** · 02-26-2005, 01:17 PM

ABC Regional TV: Midwest and probably south...Missouri @ Texas, turn it on bitches

Because they are a basketball school and they are used to it. Also Duke is gay, I dunno how you can like Duke when you aren't from North Carolina/a student from there.

And some "home cooking" calls at the end. I really think that game was a fluke. Boston College losing to Nova was legit though. Nova plays tough againest everyone so I wasn't surprised there. BC didn't deserve #3 ranking, I would say they are def a top 10 team though

**Loose Cannon** · 02-26-2005, 02:26 PM

my school (UNC Charlotte) is ranked like 22. Nobody even goes to the games though. haha.

**BCWWF** · 02-26-2005, 02:27 PM

A lot of people like Duke for the same reason they like the Yankees, but to be fair The Outlaws favorite teams are The Braves and The Packers, forget who the other ones are, but all teams who consistantly win.
