Soon enough, he'll be the first coach to take three different teams to the Elite Eight and have those same schools face NCAA sanctions as a result of his tenure.

Not to say I like Huggins. I dislike Cal more (he's up in Coach K territory in my world).

Helluva trifecta there. :rolleyes:

Poor you!:( I can imagine that said stress is the constant outflow of $!:eek:

It's always something expensive. Late last year it was the car needing work done because things wore out. This year it was the tree just when I was starting to rebound and now I'm doing the game of balancing paycheck deposit to paying bills for another couple of weeks.

I forgot to get a ticket while I was out earlier. I'm sure it will only be bigger next week.

More like a stinky water filled hole.

I'd throw a party for the Box someplace warm, all expenses paid (Y not F) if that was the case.

From just a pure coaching rating (and this is just IMHO):

Coach K
Coach HuggyBear
Coach Cal

I do respect Coach K's coaching ability. Huggins has that coaching gene too, but he's let outside things affect him. Coach Cal... I'll stop there...

Yes, I know you've really had a rough patch there.:(

That would've been nice!;)

Notice I said "Elite Eight" rather than "Final Four". His first two teams made it to the Final Four (but had those games vacated) and I presumed the UK loss (which has now come to fruition).

I think Cal does more with less than Huggy - the former tends to have one mega-star and a moderate supporting cast. Problem seems to derive from mega-star (see Camby, Marcus and Rose, Derrick).

Wow - CBS doesn't have programming to back up the tournament. I just flipped over to the women's tourney on ESPN.

Stanford abusing Georgia 37-15 at halftime. The lack of parity in women's basketball is the reason that tournament's on ESPN this year instead of a broadcast network.

Somewhere I read that ESPN was banking on being able to promote CT / TN, but Brittney Griner had a whole lot to say about that...

God I'm bored. Maybe a dose of camp programing to lighten the mood?
