But don't you hate watching NBA games when the score gets to be 140-135? I can't stand watching 1-on-1 followed by a flop and then free throws. The individual talent is often decided by the officials. I guarantee that if a team decided to play team ball and pass like they did in college ball, that team would win the championship year after year. Egos get in the way in pro ball.Originally Posted by Tahoe

Wasn't there a reason that the NBA made zone defense illegal? Wasn't it that teams would just clog the middle and the SStars weren't able to do their thing? I like that 'thing' they do. Its hard to see that in college.
College football is a fav of mine though.

I get tired of watching kids pass it directly to the other team and run around the arc for 25 seconds because they have a 72 second shot clock. NCAA ball suffers from an extended version of what the NBA suffers from, there are just too many teams and too many guys who shouldn't be playing basketball on TV.
Plus, too many "great" players are garbage in the pros for me to "follow" anyone.
STEW BEEF!
Yeah, I can't stand the college shot clock.

I also don't like the unfamiliarity that I have with college/minor league rosters. They change too much from year to year, and there are too many guys that you'll never see again, so why take the time to even learn who they are.

I had season tickets for football and sat in the student section and cheered for the opponent. There was a certain CMU game that was fucking incredible. Either that or I sold my ticket and continued to tailgate.Originally Posted by Tahoe
I went to a few basketball games, but not many.

Glenn, how do you feel about those commercials that are realistic cartoons?
Like the Schwab ones with people that look cartoonish.
Phil Wenneck: The man purse. You actually gonna wear that or are you just fuckin' with me?
Alan Garner: It's where I keep all my things. Get a lot of compliments on this. Plus it's not a purse, it's called a satchel. Indiana Jones wears one.
A lot of people are okay with them, I'm not.Originally Posted by WTFchris
