TGIF POSBANG - Selection Sunday Edition!
TGIFreakin' give us a representative seeding for once, ya mopes!
I didn't know Kevin Bacon was in "Wicked."
So glad it’s Friday! Hopefully we’ll be celebrating a first round win this time next week.
I’m watching Pac12 b-ball right now, and it is awful. I know the B1G is down, but it’s still miles ahead of this crap. Oregon and Utah are 21 and 19 win teams, but they are an affront to decent modern b-ball. It’s not wonder neither is even sniffing the tournament.
Who in the country is playing as a team better than us right now? In the immortal words of Rasheed Wallace - "the ball don't lie". The selection committee has to know it - what other games were on last weekend? Time for the hoops gods to be fair and bestow a #3 seed upon us...
moment UM is #7 in the AP and #9 in KenPom and #12 in the RPI. Looks like a 3 seed to me.
Purdue is #9 in the RPI and MSU is #15.
Of the various metrics I think the RPI is the most heavily weighted..
Plus #Tomknew
Fredo in Havana.
Where's Johnny Ola when you need him? Banana daquiri, anyone?
They're #3 in Massey's as well.
Fuck "body of work" over the entire season . . .
What you did in March should matter a whole lot more than what you did in December.
Still Thursday out here in San Diego but bang away! Selfishly hoping that the boys will be coming out here for first round. However it plays out, we’re in for a fun few weeks. Go Blue!
Chilling in San Diego....drinking Mexican beer. Time to switch to wine
Reminds me of LEGO Movie’s “Freedom Friday— except on a Tuesday!”
Fuck it... I’ll take getting in early on a Left Coast “bang” when I can.
Go Blue!
Bangs on the way to San Antonio!
on the seeding and/or first round location:
Okay. It's now officially Friday on the Left Coast. We have a weekend to collect our breath before the NCAA Tourney roller coaster. Let's Go Blue!
Here's the guy who showed up at MSG on Sunday to see Sparty in the B1G Championship. Either totally misguided or totally sure of his team.
The only shocking thing about that picture is the color of the bag its holding.
Happy Friday and Selection Sunday weekend from Dayton, home of the First Four. Looking forward to seeing which teams are headed this way. I may check out the free practice sessions on Monday.
Go Blue!
%#@##+×¢#@# Good Griff!!!
It’s probably because we’re a basketball blog now......
I know taking a whizz in the middle of the night becomes more common for gentlemen of a certain age...but checking a POSBANG?
is sometimes referred to as "the reading room".
Wouldn’t a seeding position higher than Sparty be wonderful after the bowl season positioning? I still have Sparty slappies whining about that. It would cause a meltdown of epic proportions! Here’s to San Antonio!
Gonna be a glorious weekend!!!
Wanna know my Final Four?
things aren't so, shall we say, 'positive':
As an FYI the training on the new duck dog is going quite well!!
How many months old and what type of training regimen have you been utilizing?
Using an old Bill Tarrant book that worked for me in another life. I think I'm gonna wait till 7 months or so to force him. I've heard very good things about Bill Hillman's methods. Thoughts?
when it was new (i think i still have it somewhere) and was very pleased with the results. that dog was a machine and a joy to hunt behind. retreiver only, not a pointer. that said, once you've learned some things you kind of end up figuring out a lot on your own, feel for the dog, your temperment and the pup's, etc.
have not heard of or used hillman, so can offer no opinion on that. for some reason i thought your dog a pointer, or a pointing retriever, or maybe i misremember that since s/he is primarily a duck dog? keep me in the loop. maybe somebody will post an OT thread on their dogs and you can share some pics and narrative on the blog. in fact, that might be a fine OT topic but it would have to wait until after hoops season.
But it's just too much (travel, more extensive dog traing, my poor shooting), so duck hunting it is, and we'll see about pat hunting when Up North. We 'll do the gun dog thread after hoops! Cheers!
I loved Simpson's reaction after that Teske dunk! They're so loose right now and having fun. Here's to many more morning slams!
Hopefully we get Detroit!!!
And msu doesn't. Bang!
Their best floor slap yet.
If I could upvote you I would.....Happy Friday and Go Blue!
Facial floor slaps for the win!
This is how I'll be spending the weekend.
Happy Friday Bloggers!!! Here is to a #3 seeding this weekend!
One of my top films of all time!
Hey, I resent that. I'm not stupid.
Well played!
