16 Comments:
His occasional facial hair patterns did make me question what drugs he might be taking...
"If Cameron is Greivis Vazquez's house, Duke just foreclosed on it." - Len Elmore
this guy said, a huge win for Maryland
Elmore: "Burn that tape. Recycle that DVD."
Sage advice for everyone except Duke fans and the sideline reporter who'll need it as a demo.
As per AA's advice, Maryland must not have been watching; they took it in the ass repeatedly today.
Excuse me, S2N was the one who forewarned the Twerps.
McDonough: "He went to the Boys to Men Academy. No, it was not named after the singing group with the same name."
Gus Johnson and Greg Anthony are doing Memphis-Tennessee
Gus: "College basketball's version of the Hatfields & the McCoys."
I'm gonna defer to Mal on this (if he's around). Just how intense is Memphis-Tennessee in the pantheon of basketball rivalries?
RJBO - to Vol fans I know, this isn't as intense as the Kentucky game, but considering Memphis' recent success and the fight over recruits, it's getting up there.
another indication that Memphis-UT isn't as big yet: Bruce Pearl isn't wearing the creamsicle blazer.
"Vazquez can do smack with the best of them." -Mike Patrick
