A fake college basketball fan thread

I am what you might call a fake college basketball fan, meaning I only watch the end of the season, and the conference tournaments and then March Madness. So here we go, I'll be watching from here on, let's get it on!

    Texas vs Texas Tech is tied at the half 33-33. We got a game here. Who's going to win the battle for Texas, we shall see!

    You don't have to be a part-time phony like me to post on this thread, all full-time legitimate college basketball fans are welcome to post here as well!

    It's weird that Virginia is still the defending champions. It seems so long ago that they beat Texas Tech for the national title.

    One of my favorite college basketball poems. This is a poem for hardcore UNC Tarheel fans. Ok, here we go.

    Duke is puke,

    Wake is fake,

    The team I hate is NC State,

    You can't go to heaven in a red canoe because god's favorite color is Carolina Blue!

    Final:

    Michigan - 73
    Indiana - 57

    Final:

    Texas Tech - 68
    Texas - 59

    I was expecting a little more from Texas today, I'm disappointed in the Longhorns. Now get off my lawn!

    The OP of this thread is a phony, a fake, he is a football fan in disguise, he only watches college basketball at the end of the season, don't listen to him!

    I don't like the tone of your post, yes it's true, I am a hardcore football fan, but I'm allowed to watch a little college basketball. Now, stay off my lawn!

    One of my favorite signs of all time was a fan at a Duke home game holding up a sign
    that said "Nice brick Chump". Its just pure genius in its simplicity.
    In three words he was able to make fun of an opponents' poorly executed shot while
    at the same time insulting him by calling him a derogatory name. Only in America.
    In England the sign would have read,
    "You have inconceivably erred in your endeavor to successfully execute a field goal
    in the game of skill you are currently engaged in and you appear to be nothing more
    than a lily livered rouge and furthermore I challenge you to a duel at the conclusion
    of this ghastly exhibition at which you appear to be completely unprepared for, you swine!"

    Well then you should stop using the same CU name as the OP, and stop using the same avatar, or you'll have no credibility.

    😂😂😂😂😂😂 The rivalry between Duke and UNC is very entertaining. When UNC plays at Duke, the Duke fans will stick their hands out into the UNC players face trying to get into their heads.

    That man is an imposter, and this isn't the first time he's tried to derail one my threads! I just wonder if there's a stevek imposter out there somewhere? 🤔

    In this thread i was just about to describe my joyous day of bird watching in the park, but now I'm not going to.

    I'll be covering a few college basketball games today, getting ready for some of the conference tournaments coming up. I'll be working this thread today in between my eBay activity, and other various activities that occupy my time on this decent looking Sunday, partly cloudy, 20% chance of rain, and hot dog on a bun.

    I'm watching Villanova vs Butler. I know that no one cares. I see that, I know that.

  • doubledragondoubledragon Posts: 23,269 ✭✭✭✭✭

    No. 8 ranked Villanova was 15-3 and they just lost to an unranked Butler team that was 8-13.

    Up next, Michigan State vs Maryland!

    Unless we somehow pull off some four in a row miracle in the SEC tournament, it looks like there's no reason for me to care about this year's NCAA Tournament...if indeed we do have one.

    I remember mentioning this same thing before...... I am surprised that I don't watch more college basketball. Because in many ways it often more closely resembles the way I love the game being played.

    The last time I remember really being into college basketball was 1996. UMass got to the final four with Marcus Camby. As anyone here from Massachusetts knows, this was huge. I was twenty years old. I remember the decade or so before this I really loved college basketball. Looking back on it, a lot of what I loved was based on getting to know the players, like you do in professional sports. That is obviously not possible anymore with the elite teams. But I imagine there are still plenty of college teams with a lot of seniors. They just don't get on TV much. But the tournament usually has a couple teams that have a bunch of seniors, and are good because of the continuity and chemistry that has developed. This is my favorite type of team.
