...so it was 77 degrees here in the Twin Cities today, so I skated from work early to enjoy the nice weather / get watching the NCAA tournament.
I start my car, flip it to ESPN radio, and as they come off commercial a few moments later, they replay the Triche out of bounds play, then go to the UNCA coach, who proceeds to whine about how the best team didn't win.
He started off ok, saying that the better team won, that SU is better than UNCA, and that all he asked his players for was to be better at 3:10pm yesterday. And he then goes on to claim, "and we were," and we got robbed by bad calls. Really? Let's not discuss that there was time on the clock, that SU had a 3 point lead, etc. You didn't get robbed of anything other than a possession. Might that have impacted the outcome? Sure. No argument there. But enough with this crap about the call costing you the game, as if the entire game's outcome hinged on a call. "We played a better game than them, and we deserved to win." Really? Sometimes, even when you play your best game, it doesn't guarantee victory. So that point is crap.
And whoever the jerkoff ESPN B-squad was filling in for Doug Gottlieb ate it up, tossing him a bunch of softball questions. One of them asked how does it feel that 6 seniors had their season end unfairly. "Unfairly?"
I'm getting tired of Biedenbach. But I'm REALLY tired of ESPN. F them.
Thank god for Missouri; changes the conversation.
