That win reflects well on the U, since we owned Sparty this year in the Challenge.

On a side note, Terrance Shannon of FSU suffered a seemingly very serious neck injury during the Noles embarrassing beat down in Virgina. The delay was 10 mins and he need to be stretchered out, he wasn't moving at all. It looked horrible. Leonard Hamilton said he was wiggling his toes a bit and moving his fingers though, so that's good news. Shannon is a Junior and has tremendous potential.

What the fuck kind of shot attempt was that at the end of the OSU vs. MSU game?

Pretty excited for Gonzaga vs. Butler.

I'll probably watch a bit of that.

Florida looked unreal today. That back court is one of if not the best in the nation. Front court not to shabby either. Plenty of depth at the guards.

Yeah Florida looked impressive from what I saw.

Do you like all of the Florida teams? Like, I know Miami is your favorite but it seems like you have a soft spot for all of them.

I root for all the guys from my area first and foremost. College, pros. Anyone who grew up playing in Palm Beach/Broward/Dade I like to root for.

FSU I have a soft spot for since my sis went there and I went to quite a few games for Homecoming and Parent Weekend. They grew on me. I tolerate the Noles, but I still enjoy putting them down whenever my sister's around. They're kinda like little brother to me now. I think that's the way it's always been on the field anyway.

I can just talk about rivals without being a complete homer sometimes. Gotta give credit where it's due.

Understandable.

Was just curious. I tend to root for the guys from around the Houston area as well on all levels too.

Yeah, I follow a bit of High School sports as well. Been following Brandon Knight since Pine Crest. It's fun to follow someone's career who can possibly become the next big thing.

BUTLER MAKING IT RAIN

Yeah that's what happened with me and T.J. Ford & D.J. Augustin. Followed those guys careers from high school to the pros. I was in middle school when T.J. was in high school, I used to go to a lot of his games. I thought he was great, pretty much looked up to him. I actually went to high school with D.J. Augustin, his senior year which was my junior year. We knew who each other were but weren't close friends or anything like that. Doubt he remembers me all these years later lol.

But yeah it can be exciting to follow someone's career from when they were young to all the way to the NBA. It's great to see the players develop before your eyes.

That's cool man, it is nice to see people from your hometown make it. Especially since a lot of times people are trying to drag eachother down.

**Notorious** · 01-19-2013, 09:44 PM

Yeah. It's great to see someone that grew up in the town around you make it big. Almost feels like a family member is doing it.
