Did anyone read this? What classy coaches we have in the Big East. This should piss our football team off. They should hang it in the locker room as motivation.  I'll be first to say I don't  have a clue how this Paulus thing is going to work out, but to say crap like this is crazy. Did they forget that he probably was a better football prospect then basketball coming out of highschool. If he shows a hint of ability that he had 4 years ago and the line can protect him (a big if) then he will do fine. Also have any of you noticed...Marrone is keeping the offense pretty secret. I don't think one program has a freakin clue what we are going to come out with Week1. Last time I checked "Multiple" was not a type of offense. So why the hell would they want to play us in the first game not having a clue what we are doing. That gives us the upper hand don't you think.

I hope that we smoke one of these programs and they eat their words. Then Paulus gives them a friendly "grin' after he's done.

One thing I've noticed on a few occasions is many people here seem to hate the NBA. Does anyone enjoy the NBA around these parts? I'll admit I don't watch every NBA game, but I'm a huge fan. I've been one since I was a kid. How can you watch college basketball but not watch the NBA? They can't play at the frenetic tempo they play in college, they play 82 games. They are definitely trying though, just the offense is more meticulous, players are more skilled. There is no run and gun style (unless you are the Phoenix Suns of yesteryear ).  You won't win like that in the NBA.

Maybe it is because you can't identify with a team as much as you do your college team. But then again, I'm sure people watch pro football and baseball. Why not root for your hometown squad. A lot of people want Jonny to get picked up by the Knicks. Would you not watch Knick games if they do draft him (especially if they get Lebron)? 

My points may be falling on def ears but this years season has been one of the best ever and its all coming to a climatic finish very soon. These NBA playoffs have been some of the best games I've seen and the games are definitely on par with the NCAA tournament.  Melo is playing one of the biggest games of his career tonight. I hope he and the Nuggets can smack the Lakers twice. I think people should give it a shot.

What player do you despise in the big east? So much that you lose your voice yelling at him. So much that you insult his mother  while watching him play?

Dejuan Blair smiling after every play pissed me off so much. I'd rather have a player show passion and scream and yell after a good play (ie Georgtown) than just smirk like Blair. That just gets under my skin. I wanted Paul Harris or Arinze to posterize him so bad. Like Hakim Warrick T-Bag posterization ( I dont think AO can jump that high). What a cocky bastard Blair is. He obviously was getting under our players skin too when Rick pushed him... we should of put Kristoff in there to punch him in the face and get ejected. Maybe that would've fired up our team.

Who do you hate?

Public Enemy number 1. Dajuan Blair

2. Luke Harangody (goofy lookin bastard, we got the best of him and it was glorious)

3. DeJuan Summers

I didn't think it would be so soon.

Looks like Cuse' fans are getting their wish this holiday season. In yo face SU Judicial Board. I just hope he learned his lesson and does not mess up again. With his reinstatement I think we are primed for a big east run. The front court is going to open up big time with Devo back (I mean Rautins has been spectacular but...He can't drive the lane as well).

That bracketology may not be far off.
