Gottlieb going to bat for us

[longislandcuse]

During Zona/Oregon game says we should be given a higher seed than were projected right now.

-Grant, NBA fits round pick, has been injured
-Backloaded schedule with 4 of 5 on the road
-Zone has opposite effect against inferior teams allowing them to slow down and stay in the game

Well said DG!

But...but...he HATES us. At least, that's what I read here.

who's the great looking blond in the commercials?

Third point about zone is 120% accurate

DG is smokin something... Right now, there's not many very good teams aside from Fla, Az, WSU, Virg, Wisky, and Nova

That said, our home games with BC & GT don't make for a back-loaded schedule... since they were half of our losses. Our 2nd string should've been able to beat those teams in the Dome. Still stings. The @Duke, @Virg are the only true back-loaded toughies... the rest are/were against NIT or sub-.500 teams. I'm sure the committee will factor in Grant's injury/absence, but we aren't exactly world-beaters (even with Grant healthy)the last 10+ games.

He's always been one of the more accurate talking heads out there...it's why nobody here likes him.

 

[STEVEHOLT]

So now he says grant's a first round pick. In his article a few days ago he said we had no sure first round picks.

I guess you missed point 3...never mind, we'll win tomorrow and get back on track. And, from where I sit, there are no teams you mentioned above that we can't beat at full strength...

With Gottlieb?
Allie LaForce.
They co-host "Lead Off" on CBS Sports Network, which despite what its name may imply, is a show to end the sports day rather than begin it.
LaForce will also serve as a sideline reporter during the tournament on the Lundquist/Raftery crew, lowering the average age of that on-air contingent to approximately 94.1.

I never even thought of it that way either, but it's a great point

Except when he makes things up.

He does that a lot. Says one thing writes another. He's not very good unless some intern writes some of his articles. But he's certainly got some people fooled.

that's part of his shtick - he loves to play the role of the contrarian/troll.

He has a TV persona, and a totally different one on the radio.

Which is what makes him a fraud. This whole SU - Dougie thing started when, soon after he started at ESPN, he said SU was overrated because their pre-conference schedule was fraudulent. JB's reply was that the only thing fraudulent was Gottlieb's use of credit cards. Dougie got all upset and has been trolling SU ever since. He can dish it out but can't take it. He's a POS. Always has been, always will be.

It is a good point, - it makes us more susceptible to a "bad loss".

But its still a bad loss and should be treated as one by the committee.

Well to be fair he did say during the 'Zona game that he was all hopped up on quack. :noidea:
Oh Lord

He's know his stuff about the NCAA more than almost everybody in the media.. he is not making stuff up.

Explain why he contradicts himself? Explain why he makes things up to justify his points? You have a perfect example just this week about SU.

 

[Knicks411]

The zone thing is true but I don't think it should be considered when you seed a team. If their style of play allows inferior teams to stick around, that's a problem.

She was in the board hottie tournament, might have made the elite eight. But who's counting?

 

[tee1222]

Oh, and Allie was Miss Teen USA 2005, played for Ohio Basketball and she's about the only thing that reason Dougie is watchable. She's a triple threat!

What? Gottlieb only hates us. That is not possible. He has a grudge against Syracuse and Syracuse only. He never says anything critical about anyone else. Just us.

You must have it wrong. I've read this here many times.

Ding! People don't like it when anything negative is said about Syracuse. I've never understood that.

Don't go there. You're wasting your time. He just wrote a bunch of positive stuff about SU. He said negative stuff a few times. Makes him the worst person in the world. Two things on this board that can't be touched: Gottlieb is one of them.

Remember...he's a "troll". Ridiculous.

You could answer the questions I asked the other poster. Why does he always contradict himself? Why dies he make things up? Why is he so unprofessional he takes things personally and gets into arguments with joe fan in the Internet? He doesn't just pick in SU, but he's hates us ever since JB called him on the credit card thing and being fraudulent. Just because he says something positive about someone once in awhile doesn't mean he doesn't loathe a program and a coach.
