College Hoops 2006-2007

[Got Philk?]

Just going off of what people have been talking about, Perle loved his time in Iowa City. He's very fond of Iowa (as he coached there for 6 seasons).

Iowa will open the checkbook for him, so I don't think $ will be a issue. I would take your argument about Big10 vs SEC if this were a football coach, but Big10 has a lot more history/prestige behind it. I will admit the Big10 has been down the past few years.

Again, I don't see it happening, but there's a lot of talk going around right now. Even our sports section today has a front page article on getting Perle.

We'll see what happens. Perle could come out and say I'm staying at Tenn, but he hasn't yet.

You know, I was thinking about this. Yeah, Iowa seems like a huge step backwards to a lot of people. But the Hawkeyes are the team of Iowa. And if you have a tie to the team already, what a goal it would be to get University of Iowa basketball back in the mix!

One thing is for sure, Bruce would have one friggin huge fan base. Hawkeye nation!

go cyclones...

I'm with Bill Simmons on this one: a great TV show would be "Make Greg Oden Smile."

it's another reason why i've soured on oden's potential... he doesn't seem to enjoy what he's doing. they go to the final four and he looks like he's headed for root canal.

could just be his personality but at the very least it's certainly quite strange.

he's probably worried someone will find his birth certificate. he looks older than dikembe mutumbo, and he's older than dirt.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who's noticed this...

He should stay another year to work on facial expressions.

notice... still no smile.

When Hibbert and the Hoyas are through with him, Oden still ain't gonna be smiling...

Hoya! Saxa!

 

[bayou12780]

HOYA SAXA! HOYA SAXA! HOYA SAXA!

WHAT ROCKS?

GEORGETOWN!!!!

 

[Utoo]

Yee-hah, baby. Bring it.

 

[Hewson]

HOYA SAXA! HOYA SAXA! HOYA SAXA!

This should be enough for any casual fan to be rooting for tOSU.

who? tOSU? never heard of 'em!

THE ohio state university

 

[Utoo]

not to be confused with An Ohio State University.


I love how G'town has a chant in Latin, while OSU fans sing songs like, "What's round on the end and 'hi' in the middle--O-H-I-O--Ohio!"

 

[Hewson]

How many G'town players speak Latin?
Are any of them actually from Latin America?
Can they spell potatoe?

 

[bayou12780]

Uh, just for the record...
Hoya is Greek
Saxa is Latin

It's potato, potatoes plural

And you missed the joke.
Google Vice President Dan Quayle.

georgetown's basketball team has always gotten a bad rap for whatever reason with their accademics... people didn't believe that john thompson got all of those guys to go to class, which couldn't be farther from the truth. heck, patrick ewing even interned on captial hill (thankfully clinton wasn't around yet... rarrr)... mutumbo speaks about 20 different languages, and mourning is highly intelligent himself.

then there's that iverson guy...

Looks like Pearl will be staying at TN (which is what everyone thought). I do know that a lot of TN fans were getting a little nervous.

It's too bad we couldn't have gotten rid of Alford a few years ago and picked Pearl out of Mil-Wisc. Although he wouldn't have come here then either, as he wasn't happy with the way Dr. Tom Davis was let go (Our AD at the time is now at Stanford).

I'd say Dana Altman is tops on the list of coaches now. I hear he's a great x & o's guy, and that would be a huge step up from Alford. Hawkeye Nation needs someone they can get behind, and it's going to be hard to find that one guy. Pearl was it, but it was a long shot....and turned out to be true.

I know Majerus might be interested, but his health, and his mother's health (she lives in Iowa City) has to be a huge concern.

Google Vice President Dan Quayle.

"Hey, yo, Dick... they're asking about that guy Dan Quayle... yeah, remember him... the guy who couldn't spell potato! Well dad liked him... right... well can you spell potato. Ok, that's good."

BTW - If I'm not mistaken, Mr. Quayle went to DePauw University so fail to see the connection to GTOWN!

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

it appears that not only has patrick ewing turned into a pimp, he's turned into a pimp without an iron.

 

[randhail]

mutumbo speaks about 20 different languages.

but is english one of them?

 

[Hewson]

The connection was to the Latin in the G'Town chant (notice Utoo's post which said "...G'town's chant is in Latin...", which spawned the Quayle referenced response) which then connects to Quayle's statement about wishing he had taken Latin in school so he could have spoken to the people when he visited Latin America, the potatoe was just a bonus.

These jokes really lose something when all this 'splaining is necessary, so please try and keep up in the future.

Highly unlikely the NCAA semifinals can be as dramatic as the NIT semis were last night.

Headache you passed on attending just for a fantasy baseball draft....big oops there.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

if i could have gone i would have moved the draft... prior engagement. maybe thursday

wow, yeah, the whole thing falls apart right at the start since Gtown's chant is not just in Latin... guess that's why I didn't get it! nice try.
