college basketball season is right around the corner and its time to start talking smack, making ridiculous claims, and calling other teams crap.

As a Duke fan, this is quite an exciting year for me, as I believe this is the strongest team they've had since their last national championship, and I'm hoping another championship season is in the works.

so lets hear it college bball fans. also, throw out some random wagers, i'm willing to take a few bets from 2+2ers on duke, but likely will only take them from people i recognize.

GT not looking too strong this year, will hopefully make the tournament. BTW, them not getting a single vote in the ESPN/USA Today poll is bogus.

UK is going to be something serious though.

How can you not be a fan of the team with the best coach in college basketball, Bo Ryan?

I'm guessing it's usually when they have a good chance of winning. You wouldn't want to be cheering for a team that might lose. That would be embarrassing.

Have you seen Wisconsin's schedule? Only 2 non-conference road games. Granted it is Wake Forest and Pitt, I hope Bo schedules a little tougher teams in the next years.

The non-conference schedule is weak. I think it is a good thing this year since we will be relying on many young players to step up. I'm excited to see the best recruiting class in the Big Ten in action.

Are you guys really this obsessed that you have to turn every thread i ever post in related to sports in anyways into this type of stupidity.

Voltron: i'm pretty sure you've never even said what team you cheer for.

Clark: just curious how are you an Illinois fan?

i'm sick of you stupid [censored] telling me that because you dont like it i cant be a fan of teams i've been a fan of since i was 4 years old. if i were possibly to abandon them now would that not make me the worst fan ever?

so whatever you retards say, i'm going to enjoy this basketball season a lot, and when Duke wins the national championship they'll have accomplished something Clark's stupid little Illinois team last year didn't.

Oh, I'm not saying otherwise. But my grandfather taught there, was Dean of the Athletic Dorms there, had lunch with Adolph Rupp and Bear Bryant there, and my mom's side of the family all went there. So I'm allowed to cheer for them. /images/graemlins/tongue.gif

haha, never gets old for me either. but let's not forget that he also liked the Bulls back in the early/mid 90s /images/graemlins/smirk.gif


having gotten the requisite MEbenhoe bandwagon comment out of the way, I'll say that I'm also ready for college basketball to start.
