Guest DickVitale Posted March 21, 2008 Report Posted March 21, 2008 Disagree for the 1,000 time. If they take the team that earned the conference championship instead of a team that got hot for thee games at a neutral court with MAYBE 1,000 fans in the stands you would see better results from the SLC. As you just mentioned history, well history tells me when Lamar won all those games in the NCAA tournament games the SLC did not have a conference tournament. They just sent the conference champion. Lord man, you are a piece of work. You just stated history repeats itself and now the SLC doesn't deserve a bid to the NCAA tournament. Thank God, there are more intelligent people running the thing or maybe they need to give you a call. : Look I had no idea you were so darn sensitive about Lamar basketball...My apologies..#%$*! Listen I said that I agreed with Bobby Knight, (another coach who just happened to have won 902 ncaa games in his career :) When he said that certain teams DONT BELONG IN THE TOURNEY...I agree...Lamar 2000, had no business there..period..I think some ACC, Big East, or SEC 4th, 5th or 6th place team that had to go to the NIT should have gotten the spot. If they do it that way the 64 BEST TEAMS will be in the tourney...However, I like it the way it is now, because certain teams will at least get a taste of the big time if only for a day...Good for the game....Next point, this is NOT FOOTBALL...You CAN prepare for a team in 2 days if you are given film in a timely manner. (uh, the HS State Tournament..DUH... :) Been there done that buddy, WITH "the great" Coach Boutte, as you sarcastically called him....so save that excuse...SFA got beat like a drum...They peaked way too soon, and did not progress past their great regular season accolades (i.e OU win)..There could have been other factors, but I was not there, so I can't intelligently tell you..Dude, dont challenge me..You will always lose.

BLUEDOVE3 Posted March 21, 2008 Report Posted March 21, 2008 And why am I getting all these negative karma marks? For speaking my mind ???
Guest DickVitale Posted March 21, 2008 Report Posted March 21, 2008 What elders? ??? :...Man, I get that ALL THE TIME...People on here smite me for saying, "good morning it's GOOD FRIDAY"...Some jacka$$ will say, "No its NOT!" and smite me....Welcome to the club..These folks hate it when the truth is spoken...They like sugar coated posts...Sorry, I dont do sugar!!
Guest abovetherim Posted March 21, 2008 Report Posted March 21, 2008 Me, neither. I kind of speak my mind and no I was not the one giving out negative karma marks as you'll see I have a few myself.

Now, that is funny. Challenge you at what?
Guest DickVitale Posted March 21, 2008 Report Posted March 21, 2008 Uh, lets see....One on one basketball, coaching, debating, politics.....pretty much any of those, and a few others...did I mention basketball? ...Lighten up, dude. Its not that serious...
Guest abovetherim Posted March 21, 2008 Report Posted March 21, 2008 I'd love all those you mentioned. I'll pass on basketball maybe we can add weight lifting?
Guest abovetherim Posted March 21, 2008 Report Posted March 21, 2008 BTW, Bobby Knight also stated he thinks there should be 120 teams in the NCAA Tournament you agree with that too.
westend1 Posted March 21, 2008 Report Posted March 21, 2008 There are 20 teams every year that "don't belong" in the tourney. I assume when you say they dont belong, you mean they don't have any chance of winning it. Maybe it should go back to 32 teams.
Guest DickVitale Posted March 21, 2008 Report Posted March 21, 2008 Actually, no..I think that would water down the tournament...I am a huge Bob Knight/ Coach K follower...I read their material, watch their video, attend their clinics...Those two have a LOT of wisdom...However, that does not mean that I agree with EVERYTHING that comes from their mouths regarding opinions...You wanna arm wrestle or something?...sounds like you wanna get something off your chest, bro-ham!! 8) There are 20 teams every year that "don't belong" in the tourney. I assume when you say they dont belong, you mean they don't have any chance of winning it. Maybe it should go back to 32 teams. BINGO, AMIGO!!!! ;D..However, I think it should stay as it is...There is nothing better than March Madness...NOTHING!!
Guest DickVitale Posted March 21, 2008 Report Posted March 21, 2008 8)..Chedder's? :D...Read Westend1's response...Thats more what I meant about certain tournament teams...Man I just got smited 4 more times for no reason!! > >...People must HATE GURU's on here!! ;D
shorttexas1 Posted March 21, 2008 Report Posted March 21, 2008 Lamar did not belong in that Tourney... It was one of its more talented teams but the coaching was very suspect.... Now I say if you win a mid major D1 Conference you should go to the Dance... Not a 1 and out tournament..... That is where I draw the line... If you have dominated your mid major confernce all year long you go to the dance... If there is a tie then you have a one game playoff... The mid major conference tourny should be for sh!+s and grins...
Guest bleed orange Posted March 23, 2008 Report Posted March 23, 2008 This board is so funny. What happen to " All Time Golden Triangle Team" ? ;D

omegafour4 Posted July 15, 2008 Report Posted July 15, 2008 Dickvitale.... I think your list is ok but I would change Sweet and Omar Sneed. Sneed had more highs school accomplishments then sweet. He was a Beast!!!!
Guest DickVitale Posted July 16, 2008 Report Posted July 16, 2008 Well Sweet played in the NBA....The whole top five were NBA players at one point or another....Sneed was a beast, no denying that, but he was probably the sixth best ever in SE Texas, and that aint half bad!
