M-Borg vs. THE Flavortown U Thread, Orig. by Buckeye Paul, absconded w/by talent.

[hack]

I think OSU and MSU are a notch better. MSU probably a notch better than OSU, and teh lot of them inferior to UK.

I like MSU to go further in the tourney b/c they are more consistent. Unfortunately, Buford has been miserably inconsistent and Sullinger has started to force a lot on the block. When Buford plays like he should, I'd take OSU. Also, OSU doesn't play particularly physical defense, so they're not quite as prone to being taken out of their game with fouls in the NCAA (in a non-B10 officiated game). That said, MSU has a lot of depth. Though, that injury is going hurt them.

UK is so athletic and they can really defend. Even if they aren't hitting 3s, they defend so well that they're never out of a game.

That said, MSU and OSU have really been tested in the B10 with road games against IU, Wisconsin, Michigan and each other plus some other middling teams. Plus, each has played some really good teams OoC. UK (and Syracuse, for that matter) haven't had the constant grind that the B10 was this season.

Kentucky, Kansas, Syracuse & North Carolina stand out to me... Duke, M, MSU, Ohio, Missouri, Baylor are in the next tier...

Very well could be that the competitiveness of the conference pays off for our teams.

I get my corn from a jar.

Known by many names Spike.
I was actually up a week before the actual race during time trials. Can't believe the amount of money these teams spend pursuing each other around an oval and of course up for the massive monsoon drenching, returned to sunny south Florida that evening, ended up missing the race.

1989? Heh.

I don't think Kansas has the guard play to be elite. UNC has the talent, but they're a bit of a mystery. I'd say Kentucky, Syracuse --- UNC, Kansas, Missouri, OSU, MSU, Duke ---- Baylor, M, Marquette.

I think the national champ comes from one of the top 8.

Last, in the "Land of Perverse Excessives" a restrictor plate is well, UNAmerican! If Ricky Bobby or Cole Trickle want to push 250+ MPH, I say let them.

Careful, OP---don't get sucked in to the NASCAR backdraft! Next you know, you'll be sipping out of jugs, checking farm reports, rolling packs of Lucky Strikes up in your t-shirt sleeves (unless you instead wear "wife-beaters'"), all while reaching inside your bib overalls, scratching yourself---I know, I've got a younger brother I just described who used to be normal until he started following NASCAR

THX Rob, don't know what the hell I was thinking, But If you are ever in Central Florida during The Daytona 500, it is worth attending, a fine day at the Circus.

[hack]

I think it's a worthy goal to be Not in Central Florida During The Daytona 500. Arguable but of that 8-word goal one could lose the last four words and still be just fine.

[SeanB]

I agree with you, OP. I hate restrictor plate racing. Problem is, cars tend to go airborne when they wreck at those speeds!

Rob, you can stick with the mind-numbing excitement that is bounce-passes and the mid-range standing "jumper". I'll take my autoracing! We'll agree to disagree.

Now where did I put my overalls?

Losing Dawson is a big blow for MSU.

Or, in this year's case, a whole week.
