Is this a Co-Venture of NESN and YES? Its so creepy to be home and see ads for this on YES, then come back to school and watch it on NESN...

LOL.. same for me. School at Cornell, home in central MA.

This tournament looks a little hokey, and poorly produced? And what's the premise of "team play"?

G-d im getting tired of noertheasterners thinking the rest of the country cares about some pseudo rivalry between NY and Boston. Not sure its relevant to this just thought id share.....

What the hell is Boston anymore anyway?? Like the 12th biggest city in the country...i think Houston is twice its size.

size has nothing to do with it. it is the fact that boston is 1 of the first great cities.Also it all started when babe ruth was traded to ny for a cash because the owner of the redsox was in debt. that is when the world series strak started and ended 86 years later last year.that is when the sports rivalry really started. just about all the teams from mass have a rivalry with a team from ny. without mass and ny there wouldnt even be a US.

Under that logic Va. should be the most important state....

Boston is nothing anymore...a few overatted universities and venture cpaital firms...thats about it.

Philadelphia is AT LEAST as important as Boston and gets 1/10th the attention.

Chicago is probably 3x as important and probably still gets less attention.

We don't think the rest of the country cares....we don't care what they (you) think [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]. By the way, my understanding is that this show is only being aired on NESN and YES, so unless YOUR local cable or satellite provider "thinks their customers care" about things like the Yankees and the NY-Boston rivalry, you won't be subjected to any of it.

Unfortunately us "fly overs" are subjected to 8 minute skits and the like on ESPN everytime NY and Bahston baseball teams face each other in the preaseason......

And while BBall might not have the cultural cache Fball and to a far lesser degree Baseball has at the moment It sure seemed like Bostonites lived and died with the Celtics for about 3 decades so apparently they cared more than a little bit.

Play like a champion.....

should have known you were a Notre Shame fan...perhaps you can get your "obese slob never could make it as a head coach in the NFL so took the ND job as ND's 178th choice" coach to beg the B10 to let ND in....I hear you guys are still good in preppy sports like lacrosse and soccer.


Oh and BU BC Harvard are all vastly overatted Universities.

Thus ends my Jim Rome moment of the morning. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
