POLL Your Preference for the Tourney: Cinderella Stories or Best Possible Matchups

[podsox]

Assuming it isn't Kentucky..... I'd prefer to have a Cinderella facing off against a power team. Having two Cinderellas face off against each other is boring late in the tourney. Butler against Duke was a great example of a Cinderella vs power in the championship.

And coach k telling his player to miss would've been an all timer if Hayward hit the half courter

Dana Jacobson owned Leonard. He's an idiot for being so defensive

I understand it somewhat, trying to protect his kids. He should have just said, "next question", or made something up like, "They had us rattled".

Just because an underdog pops up now and then is no reason to put them down in favor of "more talented teams."

History has its place, but in some years the more talented team or player might come from a small conference. Coming from a weak conference does not mean all teams in that conference are weak in any given year.

For reference think Jerry Rice and Walter Payton, and now Jimmy Garopplo.

Most of you fags probably want to see Sister Jean popoff.

I can't say she's any less interesting than the shrine to Coach Bo.

I can't speak to the old gal but Sweater Girl got my attention about 8 minutes in last Thursday.

Well crap, if you want to call them a Cinderella, I got no problem with that. If it's about anybody other than the usual suspects, even Gonzaga is a Cinderella. Butler was -- twice. Wichita was, by those standards. Loyola belongs in this tournament. That's my point. I don't hang on labels all that much. But I follow the MVC and Loyola was the only consistently good team in it this year.

Aside from definition, I really don't know why you are having a problem with my comments.

Referring to Loyola as a non-Cinderella is "I have to wear a helmet to dinner" retarded.

I have a huge problem with it. Yes.

 

[Montalban]

I'm rooting for Duke since the players have to be real students to go there.

Um .... I think it's the woman on the right in that photo. The one with the microphone.

Well, I guess you will just have to have a problem with it. It was a stupid poll in the first place.
You cheer for the fuckin' team you want to win. Cinderella was a fairy tale.

Every coach tells his players to play 40 minutes. If he was yelling at me no doubt i would make a smartass comments about the end of this gm. His team and staff quit when the gm wasn't overv

Option 2 for me but it's always good to see an underdog as well from time to time.

Yeah?

 

[Montalban]

Yeah?

Yeah. I like to see students beat the street thugs.

 

[umichgradfan]

Yeah. I like to see students beat the street thugs.

How did that work out for you in this tournament?

 

[Montalban]

How did that work out for you in this tournament?

Shitty. The street thugs from Michigan won. My only chance is the students from Villanova.

 

[umichgradfan]

Oh, yeah, those Michigan players are all "street thugs."

 

[Montalban]

Oh, yeah, those Michigan players are all "street thugs."

Most of the ***** players on the team were brought in only to play basketball.
