SMU @ Rice

[smupony94]

This is going to be a game played by two really bad teams, each of whom has a decent player or two on each roster.

I'm sure it will be a contest played before dozens and dozens. Will I watch it? Tune in at 7 and see.

I will be watching to see if you will be watching

The anticipation is killing me. Maybe you can tell your friends on Facebook

Is not a Big 11 game of the week on tonight?

[George S. Patton]

I don't believe in Facebook or that other web site. Instead of jumping online, how about picking up a phone?

No Big 10 games tonight that I can find. I missed Ohio State-Indiana last night on the deuce.

I'm guessing you picked up the phone and invited all of your friends to watch the game with you tonight?

Sorry, I am reviewing homework with the kiddos. If the game is on in the background, then it's on.

Did you pick up the phone and schedule a time to meet with the kiddos to review homework?

No, I had to get on their facebook page and check with them.

The irony of Patton calling SMU/Rice two bad teams, while being a fan of Big 10 hoops, is simply delicious

You know as well I do who that conference has defeated this year in non-conference play, Louisville, Texas, Kansas, Davidson, UCLA, Duke. I don't need to go on any further.

Hey, at least they got to the 2nd day of the ACC/Big 10 challenge this year, before being eliminated. When two of your top 3 or 4 teams, get blown out by a Maryland team, that if lucky, wins 6 games in conference, respect is hard to come by. I'll give you this, you're better then the SEC

[Buckethead]

Every conference should be good in at least one sport

interested to see what the old dump looks like now that its been renovated. BTW SMU has the oldest non-renovated building in the State of Texas-calculate that when reviewing Doherty's recruiting.

That is really not completely true. With the Crum Center, there are new locker and weight rooms and a million dollar video scoreboard, and a new floor....Those are all the things a recruit cares about. Sure, it will be nice when they do the last phase and widen the concourse and add bathrooms and concession stands, but all the renovations a recruit cares about should be done.

Moody is a great venue to watch a College Basketball game

Is it a complete sacrilege for me to say that the scoreboard is terrible?

Looking past the fact that they do not seem to know how to use it - I know people have commented here before that the operator seems to often get confused with who is in the game.

What I mean is that the scoreboard itself is just way too big. It is out of proportion to the coliseum. I know someone was nice enough to donate a $1 million scoreboard so I should not be complaining, but I really think SMU should have told them they would be happy with a slightly cheaper and smaller one. Plus, it is hard to believe a million dollars does not get you a scoreboard that shows rebounds and assists along with the fouls and points.

On the other hand, it might actually lure me into a volleyball game someday because I am really curious to see if the balls ever hit it when a girl digs a hard spike.

Sorry, rant over, back to the Rice game talk.

I'm with you on this. I like the added information, but from some angles the video screens are nearly impossible to see.
