hey no one is going to believe this.....I picked butler to win it all! this was like 2 weeks ago. i am still alive in the pool at work. and the funny thing is i was only doing it as a joke
RocketmanJosh, Refman, & Ziggy seem like great guys. They're always welcome to post here imo.. Don't group all of them in together with Hank and PointForward to a lesser extent.
So I come in to express support for Baylor after Hank was obnoxious. This is apparently what I get in return. Nice...not to mention classy. You really have no reason to complain about Hank. You guys are two peas in the same pod.
Lomers early fouls in second half let Duke back into the game when we were up 5. Questionable offensive fould call on Acy with the and 1 definitely was a momentum sway. No blocking out sealed the deal.
Your support didn't go un-noticed. Thanks for the kind words for our team, Refman. Baylor had a good run, sad it had to end. I'm pulling for the underdogs, go Butler!
It was a good run but I'm still a little bummed out about the outcome. The future looks bright for our program.
Let's be reasonable here. Unless you're being paid by the NCAA, the Acy call was about as "questionable" as whether Michael Finleý was out of bounds on his steal in the final minute of 2005 Gane 5.
That call on acy was bull**** and changed the game...we have a chance to go up by 5 and zobeks punk ass fouls out..duke wouldn't have gotten all of those boards without him..
Baylor had more athletisizm than Duke, but they play too many one on one basketball in half court, and they don't block out. Not a well coached team.
switch the coaches in this one, and you guys would be celebrating a Final Four appearance right now and in my opinion would be the favorites to win it all. Like the previous poster mentioned, too much one-on-one and not enough movement. Drew, being the phenomenal recruiter that he is (assuming nothing comes out of the looming NCAA investigation) really lacks in the "coaching" department. I didn't see any "plays" being run by Baylor, I saw a bunch of greatly talented guys playing like they're in a pick up game, and yet they managed to hang around until the very end. Contrary to what you might think, I'm very happy for what Baylor was able to achieve this year. Not only did they elevate the level of our whole conference, but they also provided me with 2 great games against my aggies (2 hard fought games with the home team coming out on top each time). Looking forward to seeing you guys next year. On a side note, is there a way you can hire another head coach and keep Drew as an assistant coach/ "general manager" type of job (ie: recruiter only)? or does it not work that way in the college level?
That's never going to happen. I'm proud of the Bears. From being picked 10th in the conference to the Elite 8...it's just great to see the rebuilding process from the beginning since I went there just a few short years ago. Great season.
I'm annoyed at Baylor students/alums right now. Trying to leave the stadium today after the game I'm walking up from the floor and going up the stairs when suddenly they all stop and turn around and put their "paw" in the air for like a minute or 2. What was that all about?
No reason to be annoyed. That is their tradition. It was their moment. No reason to begrudge them their moment.
Hi Everyone! You know, I never get tired of being right. I get tired of vegetables and American Idol, but I never ever get tired of being right. So how does it feel? You finally face a real team, a team everyone said had less talent, and in typical Baylor fashion you piss it all away. Not to mention doing so in front of all your friends and family, which I also rightfully predicted. Such a perfect stage! The guys on 610 in Houston were calling it a choke tonight. I don't think it was a choke at all. I think it was miraculous that the game was even close, and I give you credit for that. Your players must have REALLY wanted it, because your idiot coach certainly didn't do you any favors. Of course, I was right about that also. Big game? Drew against Coach K? You gotta be kidding me! But back to the point... So now we wait for the fallout. Will someone try to steal Drew? I hope so. Not because I think he is worth anything, but because I know it will destroy the spirit of most of you, and that will mean more to me than Santa at Christmas. And what abour recruiting? Drew is a master in that area. No argument. Of course he does it the wrong way, but how could he ever be successful otherwise? I can't really fault the guy. Selling Baylor has to be something like selling a Chrysler. Honestly, who really wants one? So I guess this is where it ends. Congratulations on a good, yet obviously overhyped run. Don't worry, I will be back at the start of next year to remind you of your rightful place. No matter what happens, regardless of what the off season may hold, you will always be Baylor, and that's why we love you! Have a pleasant Easter. Seriously. I hope you all remember the reason for the season. -Hank the Mouth Breathing Cowdog
The opinions expressed by Hank do not reflect the views of Texas A&M University and of most Aggies. This is, of course, with the exception of Happy Easter. I think we all agree on that one.
I love how every single highlight package tonight - CBS, ESPN, you name it - completely omits the Acy "charge" as if it didn't happen and had little influence on the momentum and direction of those last five minutes. Nowhere to be found. So pathetic, yet predictable. (I'm not saying that call in and of itself decided the game. Certainly, if Baylor had made more free throws or grabbed a couple of loose rebounds, that doesn't matter as much. But you're talking about a six-point swing in 30 seconds, and one of Duke's better players fouling out, on a call basically everyone on both sides agrees (including Zoudek) was a bad one. And the mainstream media is so in bed with the NCAA that they've swept it almost completely under the rug. Again, I'm not exclusively blaming the officials, but it's quite in giving an "objective" recap of the game to not even discuss it.)
Jeez I don't know what would been sweeter..getting to the final four or never reading a post from this lunatic again. Something just doesn't add up. Dude has some serious animosity towards Drew. He boasts about being right. The guy had Baylor falling out of the rankings like 2-3 times in this thread. That never happened. He stated that we would be playing in the NIT when we were 2-3 in conference play. Then we proceeded to win the next 9 out of 11. And Perry Jones wants that Chrysler Hank. Get familiar with that name bc it's going to haunt you next season.
I don't get it either. When you have a University with over 40,000 students in any given year, you are bound to wind up with some alums that failed to get with the proverbial program when it comes to sportsmanship.
