more than 1 out of 3 nfl teams make playoffs

a significant better chance than invite to march madness

and you've been misunderstood, this has been a basic discussion you

imo,
complaining:
protecting your irrational demand/idea, refusing to measure alternatives, actively demanding attention from non-believers in an attempt of persuasion, the non-believers explain why your idea can not work, you understand , yet refuse to accept and go at lengths to defend your awful idea

lol i dunno i felt like trying to describe complaining

people misuse it so often

just cause you have a strong opinion and you're interested in sharing it does not make you a complainer, also accurately providing and executing efficent instructions while aiding someone in their completion of a task, the person may disagree, and be fully unaware of his ignorance and still believes his incorrect and time consuming excecution is superior, correcting and explaining your proven soution, does not make you a complainer, you're educating and just trying to help

lol i dunno i like words and trying to explain things how i see them

the person finger pointing towards a complainer, is actually the only on complaining

it's -30 degrees out during a hike in north vancouver, ryan,just looking for conversation,announces he's cold,phil says,' stop complaining' even though ryan's correct, it's fucking windy and COLD, it was evident ryan was experiencing extreme discomfort, yet continued to maintain reasonable behavior, and assigned zero blame/guilt(i.e. didn't snap at phil for 'dragging him out here',did not announce how this is the worst time he's ever had,did not speak his mind and call phil a selfish fuck for not giving ryan his extra pair of warm gloves)

ryan was correct on all terms, phil attempting to silence ryan's honest feelings/observations was insulting and essentially complaining -instead of letting ryan know he felt the same way,phil went on the defensive and disrespectfully commanded ryan to shut up,handling the sub zero conditions was too difficult to accept for phil, he refused to hold himself accountable in any way , considering prior to the event ryan expressed his concerns 3 times, he was not interested and justified for not having any interest attending super freeze fun trail

moral of the story:
THE 1ST PERSON is NOT complaining, he's got a lot of shit to say, he respects the publication he works for, but feels some practices are outdated and preventing the publication from reaching it's full potential and the new guy is passionate and understands that with his work ethic it can be expected that revenue will increase every single quarter

person one: experianced journalist interviewing for position with new corporation
person two - tenured journalist of 25 years, editor in chief

person one - he's someone who's constantly drafting up new ideas and concepts and is so enthusiastic and optimistic,his ego is huge, he's single handedly responsible from saving the bluelight nightly tribune from contraction, he is prepared to decline the $90k salary position if his original and inspirational models for success are not implemented and treated with the respect he demands within the first 90 days of his tenure , he feels past experiences working with fox sports radio has challenged him in ways many men are not ever presented the demanding opportunities, to end the interview his vision of encouraging everyone on staff to utilize their creative freedom and divulge into politcally incorrect presentation and material

problem is? person 2 has made it clear things will continue to operate under the exact values implemented by his deceased father over 50 years ago during the organization's first meeting @ the historic hotel in downtown bleulight, his journalists will be required to perform under an considerably unfair and demanding system, 60 hork weeks, travel, no time off for holidays,and one rule stressed in depth pertains to violators who arive tardy, even just 2 mins late, unexcused,no warnings your first offense will result in automatic and immediate termination

although creative freedom is common in journalism, not here, the material written in columns is expected to closely mirror the editor's overall message

the guy was not hired, he is excellent at his job, tried to sell his unmatchable determination and one-in-a-kind style....

point is, his reason for not getting hired had nothing to do with complaining, there are some traditions you just don't stick your nose in


lol hope you enjoyed my short educational stories
can't believe how much fun i had writing them, almost want to go back to school for technical/creative writing, but FUCK english and it's rules, shits outdated
 
CR all Im tryin to say is that it is a possibility if they lose quick in the B10 tourny and a couple upsets happen to the mid majors and let some questionable teams squeak in. I was so set to watch Drexel play in the tourny last year and they got passed over.

Although with the "expanded" selection or w/e it helps, but it is going to be interesting because VCU was one of those extra teams and made it to the final four. But they also had that spanish guy who could dish the ball around and make plays.

Thats all im tryin to say about the Gophers, they have a bunch of finishers but nobody to get the play started. So like on fast breaks and rebounding they are good, but if theyre down by one with 12 seconds left and need to draw up a halfcourt play I just would feel real sketch about them in that situation.

Not to mention when Rodney Williams missed that free throw to tie the one game they lost at the end, idk somethin about it just screamed not clutch, little shit like that goes into my picks lol.

But like Ive been preaching for like a week now, its all about matchups
 
in a weird way i'm glad i forgot to charge my phone and it died before it could wake me up for watch purdue kick minnesota's ass

jesus

just put them in a play in game and put me outta my misery early

and as bad as they are now, and whatever it was the NIT....but last year they got red hot during mid-march(lost in NIT finals)

proven to hang and defeat the big boys, but yanno......least all the teams they lost to were vs 'bcs' schools
 
they could go on a run in the conf tourny b/c the other teams know they are already in

you never know, its what makes conf tournys interesting imo

the teams that really need it can beat teams that are looking ahead
 
back in '10 the only reason they were invited is cause they went to big ten finals, only to lose to OSU by like 30 lol

than lost to xavier in round one

since i've been a gophers fan my ncaa experiance has been filled with losses, vs: iowa st, texas(we had a good team that year, brian westbrook's cousin lawrence westbrook was a damn fine guard) and a loss to xavier

minnesota hoops has a history of attracting players who have family members that are more accomplished:

kevin burleson(nate's older brother), was a solid PG back in early 2000s
lawrence westbrook
ralph sampson III, he ended up being a bust, his father is arguaby the best college player of all time
austin hollins, son of memphis grizzles head coach lionel hollins

i think that's it
 
yeah it is tough to pick against Xavier in the first two rounds at least, I think I remember that game tbh.

should be some good games on tonight im about to go do that and then watch some teevee
 
murray state and belmont is a good game china do you get espn out there or only on sunny days?
 
yes i get espn but only watch it when my favorite team's games are being broadcasted on it or if i'm a guest somewhere

i hope belmont won
 
yeah they did win and it went to OT with a damn near buzzer beater like my arm is tired from patting myself on the back so much these days
 
minnesota bball/football are historically notorious for melting down in single games, usually when in the underdog role

they've officially upgraded to full seasons

i wish i was a journalist in the twin cities i would ask tubby: so in december you were ranked 8th in the country......sup, bro?
 
i actually spent that entire day ice fishing

with my phone off

i turned it back on when i figured the game to have been over and i get a few texts how wisconsin's clock operator made some kind of mistake

whatever, they lost, and we got revenge,fuck wisconsin

i hope tubby benches rodney for the rest of the season, he can't handle good competition
 
it is kinda cool that not only is that somethinh i say, it's something anybody who knows anything says

again, too bad all those sweet dunks came against shit schools

he's got such a shit jump shot, i don't understand of anyone who isnt a 7 foot giant can't be a good jump shooter, they literally have like 8 coaches and countless hours of practice

one thing that sucks about college sports compared to pro: you can't say 'wait till next year' and actually mean it, cause usually there's no hiding that your college team is doomed next year, there aint no draft home boy
 
nope

i miss the hell outta blake hoffarbor,kid won an ESPY for making game winning shot on his back in HS state finals

was an excellent college shooter and overall a credit to the team

hollins and hollins are at times, but are as consistent as gas prices....can't believe dre hollins dropped 41 on memphis earlier this year, considering he grew up in memphis, someone was bitter about not getting a contract off

dre' hollins might be first team big ten next year if trey burke leaves early, i know brandon paul is gone

hoping next year they can makes major strides,really gonna need them, the team looks weaker on paper, but watch, they'll win 11 big ten games cause they play well when no expectations and have too weak of nerves to perform when expectations are demanded

stop talking to me , i don't want to talk about minnesota, or anything NCAA hoops,ever again
 
Nice choke job on the FTs to ice lose the game and for the first time at home this season on senior day no less, Michigan.
 
Louisville is gonna make the final four and Michigan aint

im callin it
