Iona is in New Rochelle.

He must have visited recently for the interview.

To be fair, the travel probably took a lot out of the B1G teams.

This has been a really fun tournament to watch with sort of the "non-traditional" college basketball powers taking the stage. There haven't been an endless string of buzzer beaters, but just watching other programs have a chance has been fun. I have nothing against Kansas basketball, but I actually enjoyed watching them get stomped last night.

The performance of the B1G has been a mess. Michigan pretty much needs to run the table to keep this from being a top 10 bad performance by a conference, collectively, in as long as I can remember.

Def a top 5 bad performance.
In 2011 the Big East had 11 teams invited and 9 were gone the 1st weekend. UConn went on to win it all though.

Despite your ridiculousness in other threads, I agree with this statement. This has been one of the more enjoyable tournaments to watch in a while, despite my team missing out yet again. I too enjoy watching the blue bloods get their butts kicked.

Ah, there's nothing ridiculous about my posts in other threads. You just don't agree with them, but that's ok. It's all good.

What’s funny is I have actually agreed with you on a number of things, such as finding it ludicrous that Democrats decided it was a good idea to strip MTG of her committee assignments, or that Cuomo’s situation in NY was much more perilous than some on here believed.
But, your trolling diminishes your brand. You’re “one of us” for now, and you said so yourself since you repeatedly slapped us in the face with your “I voted for Biden” shtick. At this point, I have no idea what made you vote for him, since your trolling has only picked up here in recent weeks. I mean, at the end of the day, you do you, but you’re much more enjoyable when you’re actually having somewhat thoughtful discussions, rather than putting a hook in the water.

Bow to your Pac-12 gods!

People can call it trolling or whatever they want. I guess I don't really care what people call it. I certainly made the gun violence post and others for purposes of needling people, because honestly, they earned it.

Here is what annoys me. It's when people blame people on the other side of the political aisle for things that ail the country, that in my opinion aren't really that easy or possible to politically fix. Things like gun violence or dealing with a pandemic. But there is this claim that if just they were put in charge, they would act to solve it, that they wouldn't just offer up "thoughts and prayers." Over the years I've always called BS on their claim, pointing out that when they've had past opportunities in the majority to act, they failed to solve the problem, or, more likely, it's not a readily solvable problem But then the ladies in the choir chime in and shout me down, and I move on.

But when the time comes, you can be sure I'm going to remind them of exactly what I said earlier. If you want to call my reminder "trolling," so be it.

Probably as much as anyone else on this board I understand the political realities of trying to get a caucus or political body to move in a direction you want it to move. I've actually worked for a state legislature. Getting legislation passed, even good legislation, is a craft that only skilled politicians have mastered. That is part of the reason I called BS every time I was told here about all the things that the D's were going to do once they had power.

So yeah, some people are going to be reminded of that.

My team is still in it, so fark that.

(they get Gonzaga Sunday, though, so it's probably the end of the line).

Fair enough. I rescind calling you someone who can’t tell your as- from a hole in the ground. I bit on that hook, and despite others telling us not to quote you or engage, I still will. But while you know quite a bit about the world or what have you, plenty of others on here do too. I don’t doubt your state legislature experience gives you a unique point of view, but it should also help you recognize how broken the national GOP is at this point, and how it’s nearly impossible to pass anything anymore with bipartisan votes. Democrats certainly aren’t blameless on that, but they’re a much more mainstream, middle-of-the-road party than the GOP is at this point.
