Title: Yep, No Doubt the Experts Are Right About How Good the Big East & Big Ten Are
Post by: Marshal Dillon on March 25, 2011, 11:32:02 PM
I sure am impressed with the Big Ten and Big East in the Tourney this year. Dick Vitale really nailed it this year, didn't he?

This morning Vitale was still discussing how great the Ohio State players are.  Time to move on, Dick.

There's no doubt he thinks the only real baskeball players and teams are in the Big Ten or on the East coast.

Vitale and Muss Brentburger are all things Big Ten and have always been that way.

The SEC took a lot of crap this year about the strength of the league. We are not doing too bad now. This shows you why the RPI should not be the only factor in who gets invited to the NCAA Tournament. Good records (like ours) in power conferences should not go unrewarded. >:(

True.  But considering how much this team has gained by winning in the NIT this year, I think we benefited about as much as if we'd gotten into the NCAA (and lost early).

I agree with you. This NIT run has been good for the team and fun for the fans. But two weeks ago I did not feel that way and a little bit of that feeling is still in me.

In the Big Ten's defense, every time Ohio State sees an SEC jersey they fold. We shouldn't hold the entire conference responsible for that.

All the NCAA did was to allow us to get tourney experience and now next year hammer down. RTR!

Musberger is a Chicago guy who graduated from Northwestern. So it's understandable he has a love affair for the Big Ten.  Plus, his son played football for Northwestern when they went to the Rose Bowl. Good player, too.

These love affairs is so bad though when Alabama beats the teams the others love. There has been very few announcers that was ever really pulling for Alabama. Greatest of them all was Keith Jackson. RTR!

Yeah, but him and Coach Bryant were friends plus Jackson is a good ole Georgia boy.   :o

Whoa Nellie!  I love Keith Jackson.  I was glad to see him do the coin toss in Pasadena.  I wish he would have been in the booth for that game.

KJ was the greatest college football announcer ever, period, hands down.

Keith Jackson's voice became weak in his last seasons, but he told the story better than any.

It broke my heart when he was pulled from doing SEC games. Nobody could say "Touch-down Ala-bama!" Like Keith Jackson.

Like all of us, age caught up with the great Keith Jackson. He was THE voice of college football for 30 years. What a great run.

I watched many non-Bama games that Keith Jackson broadcast and it wasn't because I was interested in the two teams playing, it was just to hear him call the game. He was the best. #+

When I was young kid there was only one game on TV each week. Keith Jackson called those games. I loved him. Whoa Nellie - that pharse should be put in the sports broadcasting hall of fame.

 #+   Too true, KoKo. I think it would be best for OSU to just automatically concede in any sport when they see an SEC school.

The Big Ten commish sure has buttoned his lip since the almighty OSU has been the headlines of the national media lately. The fair haired blue eyed one has bitten the dust and they were his claim to glory.
