    New Security at the Pitt game

    Worse than the Main St. entrances was the line coming in from the Galt House parking garage. Only two metal detectors for all those folks. Stood still in the line that stretched across the breezeway, through the hallway, and back out into the parking for 5 minutes, then figured we'd try main st...

    We are freakin' great

    Keep in mind also that Louisville is without it's starting small forward, Deng Adel, who is also probably their best perimeter defender...would have come in handy tonight.

    "offense operates better from a pro-style set"

    I forgot about this game, good catch. ESPN has jacksons qbr for the wake game at 50.4, bolin's at 51.8. But yes, similar and neither outstanding. Qbr is a tough one because it evaluates passers, not quarterbacks. Obviously Jackson brings his own runs to the offense, where I'm assuming Petrino...

    "offense operates better from a pro-style set"

    I'm not debating anyone in particular, just adding stats to the discussion that I've read on this thread, and heard discussed on local radio as to whether the offense produced season highs in several areas because Bolin played QB, or because Syracuse was a poor defense. We can hypothesize...

    "offense operates better from a pro-style set"

    A little more apples to apples...not a perfect comparison, but as apples to apples as we can get: vs Houston. Same defense. Same weather. Same stadium. Same point to of development for o line, wr s, and rb s. Jackson played 3 qtrs, bolin 1. Jackson: 17/27, 168 yards, 1 td, 2 ints Bolin...

    First half and Final stats

    The holding call on that negated the long TD pass was about the easiest call the refs had all night. Center tackled blitzing LB from behind. If you're bitching about that call, you're an idiot.

    Duke - Greatest Program of the past 30 years

    It's pretty amazing. I wouldn't even say "arguably." They have averaged a banner once every five years since 1991. Thats stout. Always amazing to me too Uconns success also, but they don't receive nearly the same amount of love as the rest of the schools listed.

    Duke Championship Validates "Rent a Player"

    I hope renting a player or two next season yields Louisville the same results Duke got.

    Love Gottfried claiming Cat Barber was "violently sick yesterday" postgame

    As long as we're arguing over percentages...NC St was 9-18 when they hit their last 3, when the game was still in the balance, before they hoisted a couple forced threes in the last few minutes. . If they're on their season average they're on 6.5 3's at that point, and down 9 instead of one...

    Love Gottfried claiming Cat Barber was "violently sick yesterday" postgame

    It's not hate, Bob, just a little post game chest thumping on our board. There were just a number of comments leading up to the game that ratcheted it up for UL fans...."booger-gate"; Lutz saying "this is my town" while walking off the floor here in Louisville last month; Anya saying twice that...

    Love Gottfried claiming Cat Barber was "violently sick yesterday" postgame

    I didn't catch that. When I turned on espn news he was into his presser and stated his bewilderment that a guy "averaging what, two points a game?" Came in and scored 7. Then he went into barbers illness. Good for him if he was super classy otherwise, but I didn't see or hear it. waiting...

    Betting lines on the Sweet 16 games

    I'm seeing several sites with us at -2. That's a heck of a spread if someone could take Louisville getting 2.5 then also take NC St getting 2...you win both bets if either team wins by 1 or NC St wins by 2. Over two and you pay the juice on one bet but that's not a bad risk to double up on...

    Midwest

    Cats have a cakewalk to final four, I guess that's the reward an overall #1 gets. Wisconson will be a tough matchup if wisconson makes it that far

    Atleast there is some good news

    Or this question: In a perfect world would you prefer to have RP in town with the team the night before an afternoon tourney game, or 700 miles away...regardless of the reason?
