A HC gets all the accolades and takes all the shots. The assistants actually coach. The offense clicks for the OC and the defense clicks for the DC. I like Mack Brown. What recruit wouldn't want to play for a team who has the exposure of UT. With their own network, the recruits will keep lining up.

[quote name="DaddyBulldawg69" post="992598" timestamp="1301930268"] The injured Stanley can single handely change the outcome of a game. I've seen him do it before against my son.  ;) [/quote] Never doubted the quality of the injured player. He could still go 0-4 on the night which does not guarantee a win.

I'll take Butler simply because most people are taking U-Conn, plus I remember N.C. State against the Phi Slamma Jamma. They weren't even supposed to be on the same court as Houston. It's what I thought too.

I like Butler. I wish they hadn't had to play VCU in the semis.

Didn't get to see this one. Stros almost pulled it off? Oh well, win the next one we are @ .500.  ;)

Just because an injured player did not play, inserting him into the game does not guarantee victory. [/quote] Think that he meant if the game isn't called next time the outcome could be different.. Everyone knows the weather can't score for you, duh. ;) [/quote] No duh needed. I knew what he meant and I think he saw the humor in my response. I think the 6 runs did them in and would have been enough if the game had continued.

I think Pence is one of the "old" guys. Oh well, I'll watch because I like the Astros and baseball in general.

Just consider yourself lucky that you didn't have to face him....... [/quote] Great point. No one ever comes back in the late innings and wins. NEVER!!!!  ::) ::) ::) I saw Nederland JV play last year and don't remember seeing the Duplaint (sp??) kid. Was he stuck on the varsity bench behind some of those guys that graduated? [/quote] No one said it never happens, but just because the game was called early, does not mean that it would have. Like dawgz said, we were just warming up.

The post saying it was called because of lighting was at 9:10. That is way to early to give up on the night. It is leagal to play till midnight I thought. [b]I bet Lumberton's coach was going crazy about being sent home down only 4 runs[/b]. [/quote] Yep, in a game that is called early, for whatever reason, had it been allowed to continue, the team that is behind always stages a comeback and wins. The team in the lead never widens the gap. [/quote] Im sure both happen. Im also sure you would have a different opinion had it been your team denied the chance to come back. [/quote] Of course. If I am the one who comes up short, i always want the extra inning, more time on the clock, etc.....to do something I haven't done all game. It's the mentality and it will never change.

Highest seed in the Final Four is a 3.

Too bad VCU and Butler can't play for the NC.

Dogs, we are playing Central.  ;D

Scooter, I'm happy that you are happy. Arizona surprised Texas and now Duke. All my teams are gone now, so I hope AZ. wins it all.

[quote name="Honest Abe" post="986106" timestamp="1300670241"] So...fouls are supposed to be called for a full 40min like they did in the Butler game, but only for 39:59 in the UT game? [/quote] Not my angle at all. Had we made the inbounds play, those fouls would not have occurred.

We can argue about the fouls at the end, but the game was lost on the five second call. Texas played from behind the whole game. They had a two point lead with 12 seconds left, plus the ball. That should be ballgame. What a bonehead way to lose.

That five second call lost the game for Texas.

What can be garbage about one of the most successful programs ever?
