Hmm . . . how long did DD get so that he could even have the opportunity to get some wins in? He was on the verge of losing his job prior to winning that first championship. I'm sure TD will get less time (but no more than an equal amount of time) to make his case b/c the expectations are higher with him.

TD having to adjust to a new defense is from his own doing. I can't say that he's going to get a pass from me just b/c he f'ed up the first time around with his selection of a DC or failure to make a change sooner. Although, in some ways, I'm glad it worked out so that we got Deloach.

I do a lot of lurking

I can confirm that those are old drawings from around the time Eagle Point was first being developed.

a tiny glimmer of hope

holy crikey! and i almost turned the game off.

bracket is finally up http://www.gazellegroup.com/cbi/cbi_bracket08.pdf

looks like iupui out and miami (ohio) took their place

it looks like some teams are having second thoughts or else there is some confusion in "confirmations" with offers to play being listed as "confirmations" and then a school winds up deciding not to. definitely growing pains for the first year of the cbi

wikipedia is showing seton hall in, as well as miami (ohio) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2008_College_...ll_Invitational

well, with this change, the bracket is all farked up now. now, i'm not sure where you send rider and you have a cluster of three schools near each other in iupui, bradley and valparaiso.

ok, one of these confirms we have is wrong. valparaiso just confirmed http://blogs.post-trib.com/lazerus/2008/03...in-the-cbi.html

editing based on confirmations of who is hosting/going on the road nevada (nv) at utep (tx) ohio (oh) at cincinnati (oh) iupui (in) at bradley (il) utah (ut) at washington (wa) houston (tx) at tulsa (ok) rider (nj) at seton hall (nj) richmond (va) at virginia (va) leftovers - brown (ri) and unc wilmington (nc) (would assume that unc wilmington hosts if this is the last match-up)

so i'm guessing the games will be set up something like: utep (tx) at nevada (nv) ohio (oh) at cincinnati (oh) iupui (in) at bradley (il) utah (ut) at washington (wa) tulsa (ok) at houston (tx) rider (nj) at seton hall (nj) richmond (va) at virginia (va) leftovers - brown (ri) and unc wilmington (nc) brown kind of messes things up, but unc wilmington could play either virginia or richmond and teams could shift north or you could just have one purely non-regional match-up

looks like rider is in http://www3.allaroundphilly.com/blogs/tren...hoops/blog.html that may be it then, unless one of these "confirms" is inaccurate

this link suggests unc-wilmington, iupui and bradley are in http://www.thesabre.com/message_board/bask.../16/1001700.php

UTEP is apparently in. http://www3.allaroundphilly.com/blogs/tren...hoops/blog.html

lol. no. game just ended. denver 168 to seattle 116. total annihilation.

off topic, but anyone watching the denver game by chance? they've got 154 points so far. insane.

FLorida and Ohio State could meet again for the championship -- just not the NCAA title. The field was announced for the National Invitational Tournament on Sunday, and the defending national champion Gators made the field, along with the Buckeyes. Although Florida beat Ohio State for the NCAA title last season, the Buckeyes earned a higher seed in the NIT tourney this year, receiving a No. 1. Florida received a No. 2 seed. The tournament runs from Tuesday to April 3 and will be broadcast on ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU and ESPN Classic. The semifinals and championship game take place in Madison Square Garden in New York. The Big East contributed two of the other No. 1 seeds in Virginia Tech and Syracuse. Arizona State received the other top seed, in the bracket that contains Florida. Ohio State starts play against eighth-seeded UNC-Asheville on Tuesday (7 p.m. ET, ESPN2), while Florida begins against No. 7 seed San Diego State on Wednesday (9 p.m. ET, ESPN2). lol. at least we're not the only conference that espn doesn't pay attention to

nit/cbi bid looking extremely unlikely for the mean green.

All right, I'm off to Bailey's; maybe, I'll see some of you there; hopefully, nobody spots me though

F_U is shooting 8 of 29; i don't understand why RAUL is not up by 30 at this point

RUAL up by 12 10:12 to go
