A Series of Tubes for March 1, 2008 – Tech edition

Posted by CrazyJoeDavola on March 1st, 2008 under Basketball

As you stumble into the apartment after going on your McDonald’s run in which you bought 14 Egg McMuffins, 2 coffees and a cinnamon roll, you could do worse than check out a few game-day hoops links

  • awiggo at BON has his pre-cap, in which it’s pretty clear he expects a Masked Rider-molesting. He might not be as graphic as that, but it’s what I read into it, and who are you to challenge my perceptions? I have a Liberal Arts* degree from the University of Texas, dammit. Bottom line, we take care of our stuff, and it’s an end result comparable to our first meeting or the Aggies’ recent humiliation of the Raiders. They’ll have a game thread going up as per usual later today.
  • Joseph Duarte at the Chronicle will be covering the game at his blog throughout the day.
  • SethC at Tech blog Double T Nation doesn’t yet have his game thread topic up, but there’s a lot of stuff on there about the hoops team and other Tech news. Good churn on his blog – worth a browse.
  • disco tech doesn’t have anything new, but his most recent post includes a collection of semi-vintage cheerleader pics. I don’t know what’s going on over there, but there are a handful of pictures showing a cheerleader from, what, I guess maybe the ’80s?
  • I think the Tech guys are losing interest in the basketball season. Just a hunch. I hope we’re not walking into a trap here.
  • TB at Bring on the Cats has a bunch of good stuff out in anticipation of the Kitties’ crucial clash against KU tomorrow. I thought we’d see more interstate hate here, but I think the Cats are too busy chewing their fingernails to work up a good froth, at least not until game time.
  • PhogBlog doesn’t have anything specific on the game from the KU perspective yet, though he may before game time. They seem to have reassumed their sense of blase hoops superiority in Lawrence after their brief OSU shiver.
  • Bear Meat is falling behind. Having Aaron Bruce on your team will do that … but dude, a couple of more wins and you’re in the tournament! Your snark is needed!
  • Hoops Nerd ranks his top teams as of February 26. I think Hoops Nerd is Dick Vitale’s illegitimate son, baybee!
  • I couldn’t find a single thing to link to for the big OU-A&M game tomorrow.
  • Best wishes to John Wooden, 148, who fell and fractured his wrist and collarbone yesterday.
  • In Ex-Longhorn Football news, Sean Rogers got traded from a shitty Michigan-based team to a shitty Ohio-based team. No, not that one. The other one.
  • Here are some early pics of Jerry Jones’ mothership, due to lift off for Planet Whitewater in 2009.

That’s it for this morning. Enjoy the game!

    Dude, it’s obvious that you have not spent enough time pouring over old cheerleader pics.

    The big(?) story on Sunday was Joe Girardi’s announcement that Robinson Cano would be batting fifth in the lineup this season. Both the Post and Daily News had stories about it.

    “I think it’s always been somewhat projected that he would move up in the lineup,” Girardi said. “He’s got so much ability and tools, but

    Eliminate the regular season and have a 300 team single elimination tournament. MADNESS!

    Steve –

    Could you write a bit about the NCAA’s origins and how they evolved into a hugefuckingmongous commercial operation.

    Do they have a P&L anyone can review?

    I think non-profits generally get fucked up due to absence of the profit motive but for these guys to wield their power (or not) in

    The chance to “play” some real teams you might not see otherwise would be very cool. Bit TV and ticket sales…

    I guess the issues are injuries, wanting to work out lots of guys (inter-squad would be cutting their reps in half), and losing to face by getting skunked by somebody.

    Awesome stuff. Really looking forward to seeing how you and the Baylor guys do. Big expectations, small pedigrees. Rooting for our Big 12 brethren.

    And I have always felt the Olive Gardeb bottomless bowl of salad and bread sticks were very underrated fro a college student.

    I am still afraid of Syracuse and that zone, but that’s still just a potential matchup that seems a long way away.

    We’ll have to deal with three days between games next week, so there will be plenty of time to analyze that matchup if both teams are still alive next week. For now, let’s focus

    1. San Diego St over Tennessee. Granted, I’ve never seen SDSU play, but from what I hear, they’re pretty well coached and always manage to sneak into the tourney. Tennessee, without Tyler Smith, is simply not that talented. Oh sure, they can

    Utah St is decent, ags had one impressive win at 10 seed Mizzou this year. That being said, Ags will cover that.

    You can win a 2011 Infiniti M if your bracket is the best one in the galaxy. My BC tote bag would look sharp in that car.

    Sorry for the hiatus. It started with disgust as I watched us mail in the conference finale in Boulder.  I didn’t have anything to say about that game.  Then work got in the way and I missed the redemption game in the first round of the conference tournament.  The Kansas game, too.  I’m a rotten fan.
