    Ha.

    Funk, you should just permanently give up on trolling. Sit back and leave it to the professionals. It's OK. We all suck at certain things.

So 4 college football teams are allowed to claim a meaningful season, but 68 college basketball teams can claim a meaningful season? This is confusing.

      So winning a P5 title in college football = meaningless. Winning the Southland Conference tournament = meaningful.
      As usual you sound like a tool.

        You just realized this last night??

          You are right. I haven't even used the golden trolling material that is BYU's loss to Long Beach State.

              While you clearly disagree, for most of us acting like a dork on another school's fan board doesn't add meaning to our enjoyment of a sport season.
              PLesa excuse the tpyos.

                This is all he has. He is not a Utah fan (the guy doesn't even watch the games) he is a BYU hater first and foremost.

                    That is golden material. Thus, I can count on you to whiff on it.

                      The great thing about college basketball is that the best teams play other great teams in pre-season. Would you ever see Alabama play Ohio State? Baylor play Michigan State?

                      Kansas v. Michigan State, Duke v. Kentucky and the like make pre-season college ball just as exciting as conference time.

                      Upon rejecting the Beatles, Dick Rowe told Brian Epstein of the January 1, 1962 audition for Decca, which signed Brian Poole and the Tremeloes instead.

                        I suppose this is true as long as it's on a neutral court or in a tournament with the full coverage and promotion of the ESPN hype machine. There is still a long way to go, IMO. Try to get one of those teams to just do a home/home with a decent team and it rarely happens. For example, I don't think Duke has played a true non-conference road game in at least a decade (other than the one time every other year they're forced to by the Big 10/ACC challenge)

                          Just received my tickets to the final four and championship games. I'm in the nose bleeds but got the tickets at cost since I drew out of the raffle. One of the perks of living in Houston.

                            You can buy championship game tickets for less than cost once the losing teams start to dump them. That's always an easy ticket from scalpers.

                              Brooklyn and Providence are 1st/2nd round sites this year. I have never been to an NCAA tourney game I should probably rectify that this year.

                                I couldn't get those without the final four tickets
