    Wisconsin ML vs. North Carolina

    Favorite play of the day (and my homer team, but still)..... UW a short dog, catching 1.5 points. Based on analytics, the most "underseeded" team in the tourney - their expected S-curve was 22 (a #6 seed) but was placed at 35 (a #9 seed)...... Yes, UW lost 4 of their last 5 games, all by 5...

    Bucks Again Today (-2)

    Pulled the trigger last night at -2. Spent all day trying to find a way to justify a TOR bet. Couldn't find one. Feel Bucks are better team, crowd will be jacked again today. Was all over the Bucks on Thursday. While the game script may play out differently, the Bucks have too much length...

    Bucks

    Love 'em tonight. Not necessarily a homer play. Been a much different, and better, team once Parker got hurt although it took some time to adjust. Bucks showed that they can compete with the Raptors in first 2 games in Toronto. Blew out TOR in game one and had a chance to win game 2...

    So happy my Badgers are not playing in Milwaukee

    Yea, that seems hard to understand. But I am watching the games on TV, and the Milw region has a woman color announcer and it is so hard to listen to. She seems to know her stuff, but it is so distracting. Just like the 11:00 am ESPN football game each Saturday. Is it bad to want to listen...

    Why is Miami not in the hurry up?

    Do you give up with 10 minutes to go? Sure, they need 3 TD, but just take your time and basically give up? And why do they keep running Ajai? Do they like getting 2 yards a carry and always facing a 3rd and 8? I realize that this approach may have worked all year, but clearly. It is not...

    Western MI is so annoying to watch

    Every offensive play... they get to the line of scrimmage, run down the play clock....and then with 10 seconds left, all the skill position players turn their heads and bodies to look at their coach. By the time they get reset, there is 3-5 seconds left on the play clock (which is why they had...

    FBI Director Comey

    Been watching/listening to the House Oversight committee, interviewing Director Comey. While I do not agree with his determination, after listening to him, I have to say how impressed I am with him. He clearly laid out his reasoning, and like I said, while I don't agree with his...

    For FDC

    FDC: We were discussing this issue last week. I thought you'd be interested in the editorial today from the Journal Sentinel (Milwaukee newspaper). FYI - The JS is typically considered left leaning (as are most newspapers today). The way the JS sees this issue is pretty much how Americans...

    Impact of playing NCAA tournament in a Football Stadium

    This weekend I noted how much difficulty teams playing the Southern Region had shooting from the outside due to playing in the large football stadium, with spectator seating so far from the court (it was obvious on TV how far the fans were away). The announcers on Thursday kept talking about...

    What is the record for most points different than Line?

    Badgers were favored by 4 and lost by 59. So, the betting line was off by 63. Is that a record for college?. Must be some way to look that up?

    Michigan State

    Really like them tonight. Top 3 teams in Big 10 are very good. I look at it like this: Wisconsin played at Virginia and best them soundly, by 10 points. In the Big 10 tournament, Michigan State throttled UW. Michigan State should handle Virginia rather easily. Both Virginia and Wichita...

    Funny Wisconsin Press Conference Today

    a NY writer asked the 5 starters of the Badgers "what word or words would you think Arizona would use to describe your team"? The first 4 starters all said things like "displined", "hard workers", etc.... The last guy, Frank Kaminsky, the comedian of the team... he pauses for a second and then...

    F$*@* Styrofoam Packing Peanuts

    Whoever came up with these should go straight to hell. Is there anything worse that getting something delivered (Amazon, etc) in a huge box, with a small item in the middle of the box, surrounded by thousands of those white packing peanuts? We are in a community where all cardboard boxes need...

    PBS Frontline: League of Denial

    I apologize if this was posted before.... Did anyone see this show? It was on Tuesday night, 8:00 PM CST. Pretty amazing look at the impact football has on the brain, and the high incidence of CTE among the player's brains that were looked at (after death, obviously).... This was an ESPN...

    Want any more proof the NBA is a joke?

    Towards the end of the first period, Darrell Garretson calls a technical foul on Lebron James, due to his inappropriate reaction towards a call made, LeBron says he didn't mean it, and they just reverse the technical and say it was an inadvertent whistle. And some people wonder why nobody...

    Ugly basketball

    These guys make Wisconsin look like an offensive juggernaut. Nobody can make an outside shot. First team to 40 wins?

    Tourney Stats?

    Anybody have stats on 2nd round games (this weekend) over the past 5 years? Love to see how 8-12 point favs do ( they seem to be all easy winners) And how 0-4 point favs do (seem to be guaranteed losers) Was hoping to see some numbers if anyone has them...

    Why do coaches not empty the bench in a blowout?

    Amazing... Watching the Loiusville game....LV up 25, and finally Pittino feels, with 19 seconds left, that it is safe to pull his starters. Is Pitinno just a dick, or do all teams in the NCAA act this way when blowing out their opponent?

    Replace BCS System with Vegas Odds Makers?

    If they really wanted the best 2 teams in the Championship game, this would be the way to go. Clearly, the BCS is too record dependant - look at the rankings, first it is the 0 loss team, then all the 1 loss teams, then the 2 loss teams, etc..... everyone knows that, without taking schedule...

    Yes, schedules and game scores do mean something

    ND had a number of squeakers against bad teams this year. They clearly didn't belong in this game. they had no business being ranked #1 obviously. The BCS rankings need to put much more emphasis on strength of schedule, and less on a pretty record, compiled against a weak schedule. It is...
