Villanova is #1 and are the defending champs

[rothdawg]

And you'd hardly know it if you lived here.

This isn't a hate post at all, despite what I think of most their fans, this Villanova team has earned my respect (how could they not?). They could very well repeat. I'm just surprised about the lack of buzz around them this year. I don't know if it would be any different if one the other Big 5 teams were doing this. Im thinking college sports just don't matter to most people?

Can't speak for Phila. as I don't live there any longer... but I will say in NYC nobody gives a sh*t about college sports unless they have a direct tie to the team (Hofstra, St. John's, etc.).

For me personally, I love Temple for some reason though.

[rothdawg]

Yeah I don't think college sports resonates in the Northeast anymore. This Villanova team is the best Big 5 team of my life, and I feel like Jameer Nelsons squad got more glory here.

Obviously I agree about Temple, but they're a dumpster fire right now.

I think you would see more excitement if it was Penn, Drexel, LaSalle or Temple being #1.

Villanova just turns a lot of people off.

When Notre Dame fucked up the Big East it was a huge blow to college BB interest in the NorthEast.

[rothdawg]

You're probably right.

Bullshit

Roth, with VU on his mind...who let you out of the cellar?
They are the defending National Champs.
You haters are going to hate, that is expected, and VU's excellence and success is also expected which would diminish the casual fans enthusiasm. Plus, CBB doesn't have the year round buzz of the NFL. That explains it more than boosters of also-ran teams not caring. If a team that is continually mediocre like TMBB struck gold would anyone beside you care? We will never know.

Dude you had the most epic selfing in the history of this board. You quit, like the little hunched back pussy you are, when Villanova lost to NC State in 2015. That is what a cockroach trolling Cowboys fan would do. As great as Villanova basketball is, and it is great, you deserve no credit for it.

That was the single most cowardly act I've ever seen on this place.

He was gone for 6 months citing "being busy at work". Total cockroach move.

You'd think he would agree with your point, as they aren't getting the local love they probably deserve. The problem is, he is So. Fucking. Stupid, that he doesn't get that.

Keep dreaming.... you are stuck on a 2015 loss? FU and your timeline for any response I gave. Your team sucks and you will never be in a position to explain a loss, because no one cares about their continued mediocrity.
BTW,You and ED both failed to show up for the GAYTE, and without the promised crab legs, why? I never heard an explanation for such cowardly behavior.
I got the last laugh on all of you haters, so suck it up. VU is the reigning and defending National Champs. Nova is on your mind constantly and it burns you up.

... says the guy who's hero is a thin skinned, narcissistic, child like authoritarian know nothing.
I turn on the news and see them talked about, I tune on ESPN and Dick Vitale is talking about them. Who the fuck else is supposed to show them "love" in the middle of January?

Did you think you were going to be allowed to ever forget your tantrum?

Part of being a man is owning your fuckups.

[Loki]

Part of that may be that expectations are higher.

The ground swell won't happen until the tourney.


As for the other teams, people are thrilled when they beat SUNY Buffalo.

Obviously an example of the media's agenda

a clear attempt to do something nefarious. I'm just not quite sure what. TD needs to push back against this bias aggressively.
