I think you can take the bag off your face now
Are we sure this is the field? I think it is, but every place I look I see something different.

I was waiting for someone else to confirm it. I get confused.

If Chris has his facts straight, we host G-W Tuesday night ....

Good luck vs. Gar-Webb........don't let them get out from outside.
Frankly, hosting CCU makes me nervous........they like the tempo as much as you do. They lost by one in Lex., and a quickly set-up three beat us in Conway......

Yes Jason Williams of Duke is calling the games. I forget who is calling the finals on ESPN 2 though. I got to hang out with J-Will at the final 4 last year. A bunch of LU folks, former, players, coaches etc were watching the ladies final 4 championship in the hotel bar/lobby and Jason sat with us for the whole second half. I also got to meet Len Elmore who was sitting near us and talked to him about broadcasting. That was great. Kentucky coach Billy Gilespie and others were standing near us too. I also literally bumped into Dick Enberg in the bathroom (TBGBG will have a dirty joke for this one I am sure). I just ordered the DirecTV sports package for the ODU/Liberty game and I am keeping it through March so I can see the big south men's and women's championships on TV. Fun stuff. The season goes way too fast!

LU has 20, VMI 21, RU with 18.
RU won't win 20.
Already said it once. I'm predicting Radford doesn't even make it to the finals, and won't win a game in the NIT, they'll finish with less than 20 wins.

I've found him to be a decent analyst. Better than I expected anyway.
