    Sorry for the double post, everyone. Wanted to post this - Tom Izzo's speech last week from the rock that was painted in Lacey's honor at Michigan State. Very powerful.

    I generally am "sick" on this day each year, but must work it this year. Missing the Wofford game will be a bummer.

    UConn Ladies are really getting tested here, late. Stanford is quite good.

    Terriers beating the hoobastank out of Iona, a school 2-3 times their size and favored to win their much larger conference.

    Saw Jim Calhoun giving analysis on ESPN. Nice to see him looking so well.

    Kentucky - Kansas has been pretty one-sided so far. Maybe KU can make a game of it.

    I'm not surprised that Duke handled Michigan State, but I was hoping that the result would have been different.

    Great upset win for Creighton last night at home over OU - first game of the post-Doug McDermott era, and they had to claw back. Impressive.

    Holy crap what a finish for the Lady Gamecocks at Duke! One hell of a game all round (well, at least in the second half--we won't talk about that abysmal first half), and the Cocks should retain their #1 ranking. :D

    Great weekend for South Carolina altogether really, as the men scored a crushing upset against undefeated Oklahoma State. =D= And then there's the Duke men just handing it to #2 Wisconsin in Madison. The Duke women have nothing to be ashamed of, having gone toe-to-toe with the top-ranked team in the country like they did today. Hopefully they start stringing together some wins from here on out!

    At halftime, Kentucky is beating UCLA 41-7.

    Never seen anything like this.

    Great win for Carolina today. Apologies to Inty.

    Men. This is not a very good Ohio State team. Beat Michigan, maybe win an NCAA game. Those are my expectations

    I'm listening to my Winamp playlist, and as soon as I read this post, the boss battle theme from Xenoblade Chronicles literally started playing. [face_cowboy]

    Nice win for Ohio State tonight.

    Still not getting hopes up for anything, though

    RIP Dean Smith. You were the best ever, classy, clean, and mentor.

    I had just posted about this in the Celebrity Deadpool thread but I probably should have come here first.

    I grew up on Tar Heel basketball, both of my parents are UNC alums and my siblings followed. Dean Smith is as much an icon of my childhood as any musician or movie star of the 70s and 80s.

    Repeating what I said in the other thread: thanks for the sports memories, sir. And thanks for making the Tar Heels what they are today. You will be missed. The skies over Charlotte are shining Carolina blue for you right now.
