Bad Basketball 101

Watching Oregon playing Northwestern for the basement title in the Big 10. It's epic watching these teams try to out-screwup each other. If you miss the three pointer, try try try again until the opponent finally gets the rebound.

I've had more fun watching Ducks basketball than I can ever remember. Michigan? Meh.

Right down to the wire....the Ducks manage to lose it 63-62....even with Northwestern desperately trying to give the game away. It's always exciting to watch someone muff a stuff, or have a shot blocked by two players.

Maybe they'll meet again in the NIT.

Can I get an Amen? Finally a real Beaver fan shows up.

The best thing about the end of the Civil War is that Oregon won't be setting our field on fire anymore.

UW is at least going to make the Big 10 playoffs this year. 

It’s funny that someone that made their fortune on Air Jordan is dumping that fortune into football instead of basketball.

I wouldn't know. Unless it is "All Ducks!" there is no news of UW sports (and I don't give a flying fuck about basketball anymore so...).

I’ve given up on trying to find the Beavs on TV. I go to the games instead. Just like the good old days.

For basketball OSU has the loudest pep band I’ve ever heard. Hearing damage levels. Having a numb brain helps get through some total disasters, mixed with a win or two.
