Midnight Madness

[CM1847]

Tonight's the official start for most teams 04-05 season. Who's going to their team's? Heard an interesting one, apparently Clemson is having theirs outside this year. Probably a good idea with an overnight low in the 40's in the Carolina's. I love MM, but it is always a little frustrating to have to wait a month and a half for the actual season to start! Oh well, at least there will be some college basketball tonight!

It's pretty much impossible to get tickets to Kentucky's. You either have to be a lucky student or know somebody...or both. My sister is a student up there in Lexington, and she said the ticket line was outrageous.....guess I'll be watching at my house this year. AGAIN!

Re: Midnight Madness

Well, I decided to head down to the Forum(first time) and I was very impressed. I got all the autographs of the mens and ****** teams, and watched them have a 20 minute jack around session. It was fun, but can't wait for the real thing to keep off vs CBU

Re: Midnight Madness

just lame "Late Night With Roy Williams" highlights: a part of the top 10 list ......




#6 - "We just got word that Julius Hodge got something to eat. Guess he's not hungry for more." That's just not even close to funny.

#5 - "Hey, Maryland. Our Coach Williams is better than yours." Gary's crack that he's the Williams who has won a national title - now that's funny. This is just lame.

#4 - David Noel interrupts, dressed as a female: "They ain't got girls like me cheering them on."

#3 - "Everyone's talking about the Demon Deacons. We're the ones who are going to be giving assignments." What a disjointed attempt that is.

#2 - "Coach K's going to wish he'd taken that Lakers job. By the way, they asked Coach Williams first."
