Gonzaga just completed an undefeated season with a come from behind double digit win. It enters the tourney as undisputed #1. It also has 46 straight wins.
I have always been a John Wooden fan. He created men. He has the bar at 88 wins.
If you remember Phil Woolpert, Bill Russell and KC Jones of San Francisco, then you know he knocked them off the block.
Woolpert had around 60 wins.
Walt Hazzard, Gail Goodrich, Keith Erickson, Gail Goodrich, Lew Alcindor, Big Red, Sidney Wicks, Henry Bibby, Curtis Rowe, Kenny Booker, Lucius Allen, Keith Wilkes ..... learned under the wizard.
The Zags and coach Mark Few. One of the most beautiful places in America, just south of Coeur D'Alene Idaho. Sort of where I started with my profession in Idaho Falls.
Enter stage right.

This is way before ESPN came on the screen. Remember only a few teams were televised back in John Wooden days, therefore, IMO the top tier players went to these schools for that reason and that reason only...the exposure. Noticed the John Wooden's of UCLA and Digger Phelps of Notre Dame fell off the planet once other schools received the same television exposure.
Same thing in NCAA football, once ESPN enter the stage with Tom Osborne and his Nebraska Cornhuskers exited stage right.
IMO...ESPN opened the other schools with the same exposure as the UCLAs of the world.
Going with Few for the tourney title.
and we are on ....
would you dance, if you were asked?
Now 3 closer.
Quite a team coming out of Spokane.
.... and here they come.
Big Red ... stand by.
Close call and top of the class in NCAA big wins.
Moving on.....
.... and then they were 31-1.
Scott Drew at Baylor is a pretty interesting story also.
Was looking for a perfect season for the valley, but the Zags need to keep their head high. What a great ride for that program.
Big dogs have to lift their leg a bit higher when they get to the field.
Who cares about college sports. University athletes are nothing but future racist, Marxist professional athletes in training.

Parents sending their kids to college are Marxist and racist.
Always been that way.
I suspect you never sent your children to college.

Not all parents are lefties. Not all students become lefties.
But, the ones that are become the next generation of entitled sports stars and I have no use for it.

People go to college to realize the American Dream. When an underprivileged goes to college, whether or not they graduate, shoes talent and then someone with money offers them millions to continue that trade outside of college ... that is success.
As a taxpayer, I appreciate it.
As an American I appreciate it.
Entitled? I am entitled, you are entitled, why denigrate what this nation stands for. Why denigrate those who want to live the American Dream?

I have no use for college sports nor professional sports. They are all racist, Marxist, Un-American thugs.

I have no use for colleges and universities. They are pushing lesbian dance theory. But in a science/technology course, you are not even educated correctly. Must be to much "field work" (protesting) and not enough "lab work" (actual learning to code).

I know, .... these kids stole your lunch money and now you feel obliged to bully behind the curtain.
Sad.
Those kids who stole your lunch money wound up billionaires.
You really should throw the F-word at those who realized the dream.

I also don't have use for people defending bad behavior. I noticed that if they supposedly committed theft (stealing money), it's somehow the victim's fault? What's next? It's the victim's fault when they get attacked by Antifa? You sound like the any of the lefties who defend the criminals because how dare the police enforce the law.
:rolleyes:

depends which sport and league.
the ncaa has low tolerance for brats. you would likely be expelled and allowed to continue your career as a brat outside the college environment.
the nba.... concur. they allow athletes to cancel culture games in support of individual freedoms and rights, but employ slaves to make shoes to support their already billion dollar lives.
the nfl is over the top on discipline. in most cases discipline occurs before the finding of guilt. i would actually argue it as excessive, but it also keeps the NFL cleaner than the NBA.
MLB falls somewhere between the NBA and NFL.
Which athlete in particular are you taling about? or just another f-bomb because you are always correct?
Obviously, you are not getting it.
I have no use for any sport that jumps on the BLM bandwagon, or for any political or social stance for that matter. That is not why they are there for. Period. Whether it is real sports or pretend one's like wrestling, we/I just want to be entertained. I don't care about people's sexuality, color, or gender. I don't care what leagues, teams, players actors, musicians, or companies think about any laws. Shut up and play. And it isn't just college or professional level, it's infected the public school level.
BLM is a racist, Marxist organization. I have no respect for entitled sports, entertainment, or media people whining about how bad things are. I have even less respect for foreign entitled people jumping on the bandwagon that has nothing to do with them. That evil criminal died (deservingly so) in a lefty run city. It has nothing to do with any foreign city. It has everything to do with the evil cancer of leftism spreading across the world and eating away at liberty, morality, and decency.
You are pathetic.
Athletes earn money which keeps them off the tax roles.
Without that, you would bitch that they take your tax dollars.
I have no use for hypocrits.

No, you are pathetic. And, a troll.
We don't support a racist, Marxist movement. What is hypocrital is for privaged athletes/celebritys/citizens of this free republic to whine about how bad they have it.
You do what you want. We will not support it. We will boycott it. We have no use for them. End of discussion.
Troll.

Great response.
Now sleep it off and pretend you make America better.
You should be giving the youth of America wisdom.
Why start now, right?

It starts with one's self. Having a foundation of right and wrong. Morality. Decency. Ethics. If your are good to go with yourself, you can teach others.
Which means not selling your soul to the devil. I will not be involved in rewarding bad behavior. If I bank with Bank Of America for example, they have given MILLIONS OF Dollars to BLM. Not to the employees. Not to the shareholders. TO BLM. An organization with racist, Marxist intentions. I will not support that.
That's the first thing any one can do. Vote with your wallet. That is the first lesson for the youth of America.
Second is don't vote Democrat. That is voting against yourself.
