Basketball the sport is great.

The way college basketball is officiated, however, somewhat ruins the sport. Even as good as Virginia was this season and as much as I enjoy their style of play, I watched maybe a half a dozen of their games this year.

I hate basketball. Basketball sucks.

Re: Off Topic 2015

I definitely don't hate basketball. Watching good, exciting basketball in person is vital IMO whether it is high school, college, pro, whatever.

Growing up and when I played in high school, basketball was big, band playing, packed house. Last few years in my community our programs have been down so bad that quality of play sux and no more band.

This has been a factor in my decreased interest, maybe. Very sad for me.

Re: Off Topic 2015

Duke is only behind the Orioles for me as far as level of interest/fandom. I think college basketball is fine.

Re: Off Topic 2015

I can only watch postseason basketball at this point. I have to be there to actually watch a regular season basketball game now, especially after working at them for the past 3 seasons.

Random tangent: I don't know how, but I'm a month older on OS than in real life. It's like messing with my mini-OCD

Re: Off Topic 2015

You know what is worse than college basketball? High school basketball.

Nothing is worse than watching a bunch of teenagers stand around with the ball for 65-70 seconds, only to turn it over by dribbling it off themselves.

Yes, I had to watch a sibling play, and yes I'm bitter about it.

Yea my college some our state tournament, and a former player on our basketball team was coaching so I went to the game. Now I go to school in New Hampshire and it was unbearable to watch. The play of the players was decent but the game needs a shot clock. For the exact reason in bold.

Washington added a shot clock in the last few years and it helped tremendously. Also doesn't hurt that Washington actually has a good amount of basketball talent.

Back when Isaiah Thomas (Celtics) was at the high school I went to, there was no shot clock. Game against a school I cover now went into OT. They held the ball the entire time, scored once with barely any time on the clock and won. Such garbage without a shot clock.

Re: Off Topic 2015

Jeez...I just read an EW article stating that sales of Marvin Gaye's "Got to Give It Up" has gone up by 246% since the Blurred Lines decision. That's just craziness. At least something positive has come out of that story IMO.

Re: Off Topic 2015

And even that 246% realized that those two songs don't sound alike other than the tempo.

Re: Off Topic 2015

Gonna get MLB15 next week but undecided if I should buy it in store or just buy it on PSN. Only real reason I don't want to buy it on PSN is cause of the file size and fact that I got bandwidth limit on my internet,so downloading game would eat up alot of my monthly usage limit. Not to mention it'd take up alot of harddrive space too.

And last time I went to get a game on release week, the stores didn't even have it out yet,and nobody knew a single thing about it....

Lest we forget, a HS basketball game provided us with this:

They couldn't call a technical or something? It's so obviously a violation of the intention of the non-rule. So wack.
