Hey everyone. I'll be heading up to Auburn in a bit to watch the women's NCAA Tournament selection show with coach Nell Fortner et al.ESPN.com currently has the Tigers (29-3) as a No. 2 seed playing at Rutgers. Yes, Rutgers is in the tournament. I doubt Fortner would consider that a friendly pairing, but the Scarlet Knights haven't been all that good this season.
(ESPN.com is very accurate when it comes to seedings, but somewhat inaccurate when it comes to sites. They have Vanderbilt playing in Chattanooga and no SEC team playing in north Atlanta.)
Anyway...
The selection show begins at 6 p.m. I'll be updating as the day progresses.
Bring it J
ReplyDeleteChoked under the potential #1 spot.
ReplyDeleteJust happy to settle for all 3 top 3 spots
ReplyDeleteHow many of you all would travel to Piscataway, N.J., to watch Auburn play this weekend?
ReplyDelete(Crickets.)
Let's hope they are way off on the site accuracy for teams. That's bananas that they would make them travel all that way.
ReplyDeleteI had great intentions of making the trip wherever they got their bid, but if it's NJ, count me out.
it appears that eddie gran had a lot to do with b. brown going to ut. things that make you go hmmmm.
ReplyDeletewill joe piscopo be there? (nj)
ReplyDeleteWhen Phil Hartman was killed, wasn't Piscopo killed, too? No? Guess not. Only seemed that way.
ReplyDeletepiscopo suffered a career ending injury when eddie murphy left snl.
ReplyDeleteBryce Brown picked UT, if anyone cares.
ReplyDeleteMan, I get super bummed when the women's bball threads get hijacked.
ReplyDeleteI really hope Auburn ends up in Chattanooga.
ReplyDeleteI could manage "The Nooga" but New Jersey is waaay too far.
ReplyDeleteI have to work this weekend. Otherwise, I would not be going to NJ. Although the thought of a side trip for a Philly cheesesteak at Geno's or Pat's is appealing.
ReplyDeleteNope. I am not going to NJ again anytime soon.
ReplyDeleteBrown and Oku at UT?!?!?!?!?!?
ReplyDeleteok, back to AU basketball now. Why on earth would they send Auburn up to NJ? That makes zero sense.
ReplyDeleteNJ started off in this country a very nice state with very nice people, where did it go wrong, what caused NJ to become a toxic waste dump and to be made fun of by the whole country. When it was one of the original 13 states it had so much promise, so much to give, and not things have turned horribly wrong........And I agree with Shesaid, this is a GD basketball thread, I don't give a GD about football players that Tn signs, go somewhere else on that one.
ReplyDeletetenne$$ee makes me wet myself
ReplyDelete'Like Brown's entire recruitment, Monday's announcement was full of suspense and some drama. It started 10 minutes late and Brown pulled out a Miami hat that he had been seen wearing Sunday and Monday.
ReplyDeleteBut as it appeared he might be saying he was a Hurricane, Brown turned and handed the hat to his older brother Arthur Brown and donned a Tennessee hat declaring he was a Vol."
He says Kansas State finished 2nd
Denny, NJ is what it is. You can spruce it up with deodorants and perfumes and such, but you can't change the fact that it's an armpit.
ReplyDeleteWell to all those mad at me for "hijacking" the thread, my apologies, I just assumed it was routine to post in the most recent thread.
ReplyDeleteNew Jersey sucks, have been once, I don't plan on going back. I hope the AU Women end up in Atlanta, I'd like to head out and cheer them to victory.
HABOTN threads don't really get hijacked. They are all a hodgepodge of many different topics. When does anyone ever go back and find an older thread more appropriate to what they want to talk about? Just free flow it, there is plenty of room. After all, there isn't even a thread dedicated to puppets. What would HABOTN be like without puppet talk?
ReplyDeleteI'm not mad, Seanzie. I just don't get nearly enough opportunities to talk women's bball (even though it would be never without Mister Jay G. Tate).
ReplyDeleteI'll talk football any day but I get exceptionally excited when one of AU's women's teams is doing well and I get to talk about that on my favorite blog.
Shesaid, was not referring to you necessarily. I just hadn't seen it anywhere and figured since it had been a much discussed topic around here I would throw it up there.
ReplyDeleteShesaid, you did say you were "super bummed." You know what I say to that? Turn that frown upside down! There, did that fix it?
ReplyDeleteWhat do you guys think about the BC head coaching situation?
ReplyDeleteMichael, you've outdone yourself.
ReplyDeleteThat's impressive, because myself was already pretty done.
ReplyDeleteI almost asked you Michael your thoughts on that.
ReplyDeleteWell you should have asked. My heart is an open book.
ReplyDeleteThanks Michael. I feel much better. Wait, maybe that's because I'm leaving work now....
ReplyDeleteAre there really complaints here about not enough women's bball talk? Seriously? Go find the HAWBBOTN and get back to us (hint: it doesn't exist elsewhere, cause you're already here, football talk and all).
ReplyDeleteBryce Brown and Lane Kiffin are a match made in heaven. May complete the demise of UT together!
I'd rather go to Little Rock to watch the ladies, and G-d knows I ain't going(/didn't go) there.
ReplyDeletemickheal saves the day!
ReplyDeleteDang, Frankenbummer is angry. Perhaps it is more Frankenbitter today.
ReplyDeleteAll Bryce Brown, All The Time.
ReplyDeleteb. brown did come across as just a tad egoistic. can he deliver? for shesaid: go lady tigers!
ReplyDeleteBryce Brown is a moron, and I hope that Tennessee fails miserably in all their future efforts. Man, UT is so annoying right now.
ReplyDeleteoh, and Go Lady Tigers!
ReplyDeleteoh, and Go Gentlemen Tigers! Win the losers bracket!
ReplyDeleteMichael,
ReplyDeleteDo you know what.....Rainy days and Mondays always get me down.....
I thought you would like to know that. Since you are a daydream believer and all, I think that you know, as that poet and Auburn Grad Toni Tenille said, that love will keep us together.
for a second there, i thought coach crum was gonna go all "muskrat love" on us. whew!
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing since Lane Kiffin can't keep his mouth shut, and since Doug Dickey isn't here covering things up, the NCAA might finally get something to stick there.
ReplyDeleteNJ is a little over 4 hrs for me but I'm really too busy this weekend. I hope they're closer to home where they can get more support.
ReplyDeletelots of people here at buffalo connection. Maybe 500.
ReplyDeleteten minutes in ... And not a single bracket. Someone needs to be fired.
ReplyDeleteTHE SUSPENSE!
ReplyDeleteif they are going to be a 2 seed anyway, i hope they come out west.
ReplyDeletebooo 2
ReplyDeleteauburn a 2 seed at rutgers. Playing Saturday vs. Lehigh.
ReplyDeleteso why does the higher seed travel?
ReplyDeleteahhhh, houndstooth. someone shoot that woman.
ReplyDeletebecause the higher seed didn't put in to host, scott.
ReplyDeletehoundstooth--sign of the coming apocalypse.
ReplyDeletethey should change that, pf.
ReplyDeleteJay G, what was the crowd's reaction to the bracket?
ReplyDeleteIs Saban heading up the investigation into Kiffin & Co.?
ReplyDeleteLeigh is only playing an hour away from home. They'll probably have a good crowd.
ReplyDeleteThe NCAA craps on Auburn any time they can. A 2 seed going to the front yard of a no seed. Just unbelieveable.
