Paul Santiago Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 (edited) I tried. I watched the 2nd half of the OSU/KY game. I've watched Pro and college live and on tv. Nothing. Does nothing for me. Too much scoring, too many whistles. It would be much better if it was like hockey... Yup, I'll take hockey anytime. ramble mode off..

Joe4d Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 well lets see, ya take every wide spot in the road with a flashing light and make a team, have them play 8 gazillion games then select every other flashing light team to put in the playoffs, drag the playoffs out for six or seven months, get a handful of people jumping up and down trying to win the Who looks the coolest award. nope not my cup of tea either.

Corey Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 I can relate. I can sorta get into the tournament. some of the close games makes it a tad interesting and i like seeing the number 1s lose as quickly as possible, but in general I hate basketball too. Hockey is where its at. Got tickets for the game in Detroit tonight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flexmoney Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 Hockey? You guys might check your beer ratio. In hockey and soccer...you have time to drink a beer, go to the bathroom, get another beer...and not miss any action. That obviously has it's appeal...

Sarge Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Not a Basketball fan either. I just happened to find the game last night with 4 minutes left and was not impressed. It runs in the family too. I have two kids going to OSU and they didn't even want to watch it for 4 minutes with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrumpyOne Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 How UnAmerican! Basketball is the only true "sport" involving a ball invented in the US......I don't like it either...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neomet Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 It's a complete flatliner for me. I can't keep interested even if it the last two minutes of a close game, which in real time is actually what.... 20 minutes of my life that I just lost?

Jaxshooter Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Hate basketball. It is the only sport I would not play when in school. It sucks and takes up good TV time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steel1212 Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 (edited) Football = What the hell you carry or throw it 99% of the time and barely use your foot? Soccer = What the hell you play it with your foot more than the game called foot ball and the score is usually 1 nothing? Ice Hockey = Seriously? A bunch of grown, toothless men on figure skates from Russia? Baseball = non-contact doesn't even count Basketball = Pure sports, Offense, Defense, running, gunning, scoring, stopping, back and fourth dules, a full gauntlet of a season with a real playoff. I guess if your not from Kentucky you just don't get it. Edited March 27, 2011 by steel1212 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joseywales Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 I get it. Absolutely love basketball - as a player - but many times I'm really ambivalent about watching it (in person or on TV). To catch my attention, the game HAS TO HAVE good passing, good shooting, an up-tempo pace, and very little (like ZERO) of that 1-on-1 ISOLATION crap. Without those elements in a game...I'll just go clean my Glock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xdrocker Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 I do have to admit, that unlike College Football, the basketball NCAA national champion actually is one. Like the Bud Light commercial says "HERE WE GO" , but yeah I agree, three #1's are out and Kansas is not looking good at halftime. So, essentially three of the top 4 ranked teams in the country have been eliminated from the Championship race. Makes you wonder what would happen in the other "sport".

Yep, that's right...If it weren't for basketball, KY would just disappear.....like it never existed....Now, down here in Florida, well, we have a multitude of things to root for....
