****The Official NEW new new conference realignment & shit talk thread****
 

Let's do it.

:popcorn:

:Poke:

Let's try to keep the shit talk in here rather than the repository threads.

The Big 12 made a good trade getting rid of Mizzou & Texas A&M for TCU & West Virginia.

Yeah, I really worry about the impact the hand-check rule will have on the game in the short term.

In the long term, however, it might help. Teams will adjust (they always adjust) and officials will back off a little as well. But it's probably going to take a couple of seasons of ghastly gameplay to get there.

And when it does, I still worry that the game's just going to be about 3-point shooting still. They've gotta move that damn line back to at least the friggen WNBA distance.

LMAO

They might as well get rid of charging. I just watched the most blatant, textbook charge called a block. The game will become nothing but guards dropping their shoulders, crashing into the lane, and getting bailed out by blocking calls.

The announcers aren't even talking about the game. They are talking about the fouls/rules.

3 fouls in the first 89 seconds of the second half.

2:16 into the second half...9 free throws shot

Cool sport, bro.

Baylor committed three fouls in five seconds...literally

16:56 foul on Isiah Austin
16:54 foul on Brady Heslip
16:51 foul on Cory Jefferson

18 players have played so far. 26 minutes into the game, every one of them has a foul. 14 have at least 2 fouls. 7 have at least 3. 2 have 4.

41 total fouls at the 13:05 mark...53 free throws

It's ruined college hoops for me. Officiating has been terrible the last several years, you can't play D without them blowing that ****ing whistle.

:facepalm:

8:58 to play
Baylor leads 59-55

46 total fouls
60 free throw attempts
Every starter has multiple fouls.
Every player has at least one foul.
Every player on SC has multiple fouls.

7:55 to play

48 fouls

11 players have 3+ fouls

New thread. Still only one championship program.

The game mercifully ends with Baylor winning by two. Fittingly, there was a five minute review to see if the 56th foul of the game happened before the buzzer. It did not. As a result, only 77 free throws were attempted rather than 79.

What is the new rule that I keep hearing about that is causing all of these fouls? I haven't watched a game yet this season but I keep hearing this outrageous foul totals.

No touching. ever. It's the 1950s all over again.

In

Mike Anderson is ****ed.

SEC 0-2 for the day. New season, same result it seems.

#1

Jesus

**** yeah!
In!
Mizzou!

There will be games with 100+ free throws. There was only one "intentional" foul, too. Imagine if it had been a six point game...

I'm very impressed that the third best team on the Big 12 (Baylor) was able to beat the 12th best team in the SEC (South Carolina) by two in Waco.

They better just plan to add an extra three days to the NCAA tournament.

Thank goodness it's just a hobby sport.

but with black guys

I don't remember free throws, but in KU's first game there was a total of 55 fouls called. Fifty-****ing-five fouls called.

I'm sorry. I was wrong.

58 fouls. Fifty-****ing-EIGHT fouls.

72 free throws.

69 FTs in UK's first game of the season... 72 in KU's first game with 58 fouls.

You're late. Where were you 10 minutes ago?

Watching hockey. :sulk:

****ing hockey. Ruins everything.

I also found this from like 10 years ago... does it help?

ORANGE BOWL BITCHES!!

Options and anchors!

Let us know how the badminton team does in the postseason

QUIDDITCH!!

yea…not so much LMAO

College hoops is awful now...wow

omg, SEC basketball. How embarrassing can you be?

Shit like these new rules is why football will always be king in college sports.

I'm no basketball expert but this seems horrific.

Better tell the networks and advertisers.

They don't seem to agree. :)

Football is better/ basketball is better
Our bowl game was awesome/ Your bowl game sucked
Look at the record!/ Records don't mean shit.
We make more money!/ So?!!?
SEC is awesome/ Big Whatever is awesomer!
Jeff Sagarin is my Lord and Savior!/ Jeff Sagarin has a robot penis
Quit relying on the past!/ If you take into account the total record over the past 120 years...

/end thread

Bunch of shitty programs on that list...

Did anyone catch Seton Hall vs Niagra?

73 fouls
102 free throws
Six players fouled out
15 players had at least 3 fouls

LMAO

Did anyone catch Wisconsin vs Florida?

35 fouls
31 free throws
2 players fouled out

Florida still lost

Florida is way overrated. They looked like crap in their first game, too.

More from that game...

Cameron Fowler...12 minutes played...5 fouls

Gene Teague...8 minutes played...4 fouls

Brian Oliver...6 minutes played...4 fouls

Might even be slipping from secondary sport status...Good thing for brackets

Jameis Winston being investigated for sexual assault.

This might be the loss Baylor needs.

Ok, now that is funny.

Heh

History awaits

On the heels of the NIT no less

B1G football thinks SEC basketball needs to get its shit together.

Georgia looks terrible.

Lol KU fans rushed the field. Embarrassing.

Tim MacMahon (@espn_macmahon) tweeted at 2:27pm - 16 Nov 13:

The crowd stormed the field after Kansas snapped a 27-game Big 12 losing streak. There were barely enough people to cover the midfield logo. (https://twitter.com/espn_macmahon/st...08861910142976)

The field storming jokes would have worked a lot better had that mizzou blogger not lied about it a couple months ago. lol

What Mizzou blogger was that?

ROFL I predicted this in the previous thread.

(Obligatory mocking "West Virginia is an upgrade for the Big 12!" post)

and then she had to refute it, lol

They're Final Fours and BCS wins fit nicely in the Big 12 trophy case.
