C'mon, Greenie...

Gregor Mendel and I both say this thread can't end well.

 

We aren't talking about anyone's joules on this thread...family or otherwise

 

First-time caller, long-time listener?

 

I also think there is a certain level a program can get - yes, you can call it arrogance if you want - where theoretically there shouldn't be a win that should result in storming the court. College hoops programs like North Carolina, Duke, Kentucky, Kansas, UCLA, Michigan State (of the last 10 years or so) and Indiana fall into that category. Yes, I know there are bigger wins than others, and not every team at these schools is automatically great. Still, as I said in a previous post, you're still that school, and every year, you're going to be considered one of the best. Those schools are known as elite basketball schools for a reason, so they shouldn't be acting like they've never won anything before. Again, you can call that arrogance if you'd like, and you wouldn't be wrong, but I also think there's some truth to that.

 

It's another sign of the ME-SPN generation's apocalypse.
Until TV geeks stop showing the shot of the fans rushing the court, they'll rush the court. If ESPN/Fox/CBS/ABC doesn't show it, the local news -- always jumping on the bandwagon -- will.
Doesn't matter what the level; the players may act like they've been there before, but the students wont.

 

The players act like they've been there before?
Are you speaking solely of hoops?
Or have you noticed that every single football team throws a tub of Gatorade on its coach after a big win? It's the jock equivalent of a court-rushing.

 

I heard a little bit of the discussion on Mike and Mike and was surprised that there was no mention of the stupid "OVERRATED!" chant. I've always thought that fans chanting that are diminishing the accomplishment of their team with that chant.

The chant is highly overrated.

 

what part of "may" did you not read. I didn't say they do; just that they may.
And you are right about the gatorade bath... Part of me-spn...

I'll give you a pass for bothering to listen to these guys ... only because Stern's Sirius show is on vacation this week. Normally, the idea is to have them on in the background, MUTED, looking at the topics discussed at the bottom. If news breaks, then perhaps you unmute.

Let me guess ... Monday they opened with NASCAR for two hours?
