Actually steve was 1 of 3 in that thread. Proficiency rating decreased to 33%.

It's a weird year and I think if the NCAA wants a good product next month they'd be stupid to keep MSU out of the tournament.

Steve, second time thread caller, long time listener. What seed do you think MSU will get?


A few years ago Syracuse got in and everyone was complaining about some other school that got hosed. My answer is whatever number seed they got sounds about right. If we go on a big run to close out the regular season and do some unbelievable shit probably even better.

Just checking in. Is anyone really mad at Steve for posting on a 23 registered members  message board?

The old get a life call out. I have a robust social life and hobbies. I'm chained to the desk 9-5 just like most of us so here I am. Also, those tweets didn't really take a whole lot of time to generate and my current screen report on twitter equals a 29 minute daily average. This includes articles I read from links off the platform in the morning. Thank you very much.

No, I'm saying bragging about Twitter likes is really fucking weird and sounds kind of desperate.

Well on one side of the fence some guy is pooping his diapers about me being right about ratings and on the other side of the fence you have two industry pros validating my take. I posted that for a comparison.

Not really pooping my pants, Steve. You’re just trying a little too hard to get some validation here. Relax. You already have it.

Just to be clear when I was talking about the diapers I wasn't referring to you.

Can someone explain this one to me. I have no idea what this means.

Being nice to steve is a crime. And it's certainly encouraging him. Do you post those sorts of things about any other posters? I don't think you do.

OTPT PMs me love poems, Cam.

I'm really all about peace and love. My posts are a gift to the world and when I give them some people just freak out.

I watched Ghandi recently and realized anyone that is for peace love and unity is often met with hate and violence (Ghandi,  MLK, John Lennon, George Harrison, Steve).

OTPT is probably the nicest PG we’ve ever had at MSU, Cam. There’s nothing wrong with that.

It is hilarious that you have gone on and on about this for 3 pages and not a single person, not one, has said that ratings are not a factor. Not in this thread and not in the other thread.

Of course MSU and Duke and Kentucky and UNC will get more leeway with the commitee. Of fucking course they matched MSU/UCLA on Thursday for ratings.  Especially since they switched the format. They needed a marquee game Thursday and MSU/UCLA gave them the perfect opportunity. This is fucking obvious and not one person, zero, zilch, nada has suggested otherwise. 

 If I could just get in there a poke around a little bit to see what makes you tick.

Ok, it's not just me then. I was really wondering where I missed someone vociferously (or at all) arguing that ratings were not a factor in MSU-UCLA being in the First Four match up.

What if Steve thinks with his penis? Do you still want to get in there and poke around?

#teamsteve

It is the preface for his "steve is right again" post at the beginning of this thread. Pitting MSU vs. UCLA on Thur validated his posts about the committee giving MSU and Duke more leeway for ratings, in his mind. Which again, no one argued against. 

Steve, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

In your opinion Nigel, what was Steve "right again" about, that the rest of us (or even one of us) are wrong about? Help me out here. Maybe I'm missing something.

I love that movie. Charlie Kaufman can write a script like nobodies business...


I mean I agree with everything your wrote there. The back story is I got mocked for the ratings take a while back, so I showed up and dunked on someone and it didn't go so well. Also, I had a blunder about Iona so I ended up with some egg on my face as well.

The only correction really that's missing is I think you were absent from the back story. There was some mocking of me that went down in a Spartan game thread and then in another subsequent thread I got a few more jabs about ratings and then I dunked on someone when the UCLA MSU game was announced.

Regarding Duke I'll defer to you and Nigel. I still firmly believe Duke would be in if a player didn't test positive. That's my opinion.

Fair enough. But Duke sucks.

Steve, you have never dunked on anyone. In 1987 you touched the net on a basket at an outdoor court in DeWitt, and that is the closest you have come to dunking.

Fucking Steve is from Dewitt? This would explain a few things.

 Take what you can get.  Their draw is fair IMO. Gotta play an extra game, but it is against an equal level opponent on a Thur night time slot. Sets up the potential for some day drinking Saturday. Great opportunity. 

I like the new schedule overall.  Fri-Mon works and you keep some tradition moving the First Four games to Thur. For me, and I'm sure a lot of others, Thursday is the start of March Madness. I could never get into the Tue/Wed games. It brings some legitimacy and more eyeballs to those games as well. 

Looks like a win win to me.

This, especially the bolded part.  I didnt realize the First Four was on Thursday this year until I saw our game day/time this morning.  I'll take it this year because of MSU, but I like two full days of blowing off work for tourney games.

Not gonna lie, I could use some hoops in the background as I plow through emails

MSU-UCLA was the most watched First Four game in the 10 year history of having them.

Imagine if they’d put Syracuse in that slot. All time best ratings for the entirety of college hoops on tv.

If they would have put Syracuse in that slot, it would have led to power grids being overloaded and a nationwide blackout. Think before you post, GreenWay.

A UCLA Syracuse matchup would have outdrawn the national championship game

Not a surprise.

Last nights Syracuse game probably did well in New York and caught a good slice of the west coast market. There's a reason it got the a team broadcast treatment on CBS.
