NCAA Basketball 2013-14

Look at that Randle charge... Love the no call

I never expected us to win another Championship this year... just amazing... I won 3k in my pool having Kentucky win the championship. Was great not even needing them to win so I could root for UCONN! Kentucky won me the same pool two years ago also.

Were so spoiled in New England that's 12 major championships since 1999. I doubt any other area of the country will see anything like it. Hell Boston College was even in the running for BCS once during that period, although I doubt we will ever get that to make it wins in all 6.

Lol, I bet you could arbitrarily pick another grouping of like 6 adjoining states and come away with a LOT of championships.

I'll take the Gulf Coast. Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas. Since 1999 thats 12 college football titles(SEC + Florida St, Miami, & Texas), 2 college basketball titles(Florida), 4 NBA titles(Heat + Mavericks), 2 Super Bowls(Saints & Bucs), 1 World Series winner(Marlins), and whatever else you want to throw in from lesser sports.

I'll take the northern great plains. Montana, South Dakota, North Dakota, Wyoming, Nebraska. Since 1999 thats... fuck.

Montana and North Dakota State are both really good FCS schools.

I consider Uconn to be spiritual brothers now. The schools that lost conference roulette.

I was born in Ct and became a UCONN fan by virtue of that and my father and uncle being alumni. In Rhode Island it's mostly PC/URI fans with maybe slightly less UCONN fans then those schools, UCONN is pretty close to RI, College basketball is big here. But yeah pro-sports I always loved all the Boston/NE teams. LFC is only team I root for outside NE.

Don't really care much about CFB mostly save it's something to watch and I prefer New England then North East team like Syracuse to win before other teams.

It's really pretty amazing how Uconn is able to be a CBB megapower. Stores is in the most rural middle of nowhere area of the state. Not at all close to NYC or Boston. Plus Connecticut is a really weird state to have a dominant college athletic team. A MA team, or one around NYC/NJ would make way more sense.

I'ts not at all comparable New England has some 15m people. Many states have way more. Comparing the Championships won in New England to say Florida alone is not 100% fair given how many more teams Florida has in major sports. Forget adding all those Southern states or groups of big states.

It's true many Uconn fans like NY team. But Uconn is located near MA/RI rather then NY. Overall I would say most Uconn fans are more likely to be Boston fans but it's not by a huge margin.

Editl Add in NCAA hockey we have Yale in 2013, Boston College in 2012, 2010, 08, 07, 01 Boston university in 09, Maine in 99. Since 99 a NE team has been Winner or runner up every year but two.

Do you realize how silly you sound?

Yeah I've always liked Conn and having them go through the exact same shit we did makes me like them more. Congrats to their female team as well for winning.
