Indiana
Originally posted by HoyaParanoia:Those Cuse fans are idiots - which helps explain why they're Cuse fans. The rivalry is alive and well and tonight's game should be one of the best, if not the best, of the week. Both teams are solid (but erratic) this year and w/ both teams having talent returning and great classes lined up, and w/ the Big East emerging (again) as the best conference in College BB the GU/Cuse rivalry (two years removed from Esherick, and into what will be a legendary career for JTIII) is now as good as ever and getting better.
i've heard some syracuse fans try to get all high and mighty and say that the rivalry is dead and that georgetown fans are living in the past … i really doubt that, tomorrow will be crazy
Originally posted by ggwâ?¢:on the drive across country, i got to listen to alot of the dan patrick show. somehow, dan patrick was able to get the espn honchos to let keith olbermann come in everyday and do an hour or so with him. so, it's keith olbermann and dan patrick, and they do an interview with tony kornheiser. apparently, kornheiser got a letter from espn honchos telling him that he (kornheiser) is the the most difficult on-air personality in espn history. needless to say, olbermann was quite upset and envious of that letter.

but we can all agree that Syracuse is a much nicer town than DC!

Originally posted by Thom Foolerie:it's hard to explain the kornheiser phenomenon … i think his best format is his morning radio show, although i like him on PTI as well … he's definitely an aquired taste, but he's a really unique personality and you can get addicted to his radio show pretty easily (ala Howard) … i can definitely see why people hate him though, and he's really less of a sports guy than just an all-around radio personality, 75% of his charm has nothing to do with sports

Kornheiser has always been funny. He's an entertainment writer posing as a sports writer . . . which is fine for espn which more and more is an entertainment channel posing as a sports channel. he's the voice of casual/"social" sports fans. Those who like the conversation but don't want to dig deep. I grew to hate him as a Post writer b/c as a local sports fan I felt the city needed a sportswriter who actually understood the sports they wrote about, not just some ahole making the same dumb "les boulez" jokes. As a comedian first, he seemed to have an interest in DC sports teams remaining terrible. What would he write about if our teams were actually good and not run by clowns? He doesn't make the games more interesting - he makes the conversation surrounding the game more interesting (like Mike Greenie Greenburg, another great host who straddles the line between good and tedious).
A 46 point second half lead Indiana to victory over Wisconsin. USA 11-0 in the third. Clemens is looking great.
