PrintThe NBA may still be in lockout mode, but college basketball is underway in Bulldog Nation tonight! Here is the schedule:
- Andy Landers' Lady Bulldogs will be in action against TCU at 6:00 Eastern tonight---in other words, right now!---on CSS and on gametracker.
- At 7:00 Eastern tonight, Michigan State and North Carolina will tip off on an aircraft carrier. What does that have to do with Georgia? Well, if you want to get all technical, the aircraft carrier in question is the U.S.S. Carl Vinson, which was named for Carl Vinson, who represented Georgia in the U.S. House of Representatives for 50 years, but did you hear me? It's on an aircraft carrier on Veterans Day! It's like the Army-Navy game; if you're not watching it, it's time to revive the House Committee on Un-American Activities just so they can investigate you. It's on an aircraft carrier, I'm telling you! (Oh, also, it's on ESPN.)
- Approximately at 8:00 Eastern tonight, Mark Fox's Hoop Hounds will tussle with Wofford, also on CSS and on gametracker.

And the US Men's National Team is about to kick off against France RIGHT NOW on ESPN2!

I'm glad it coincided with something, . . .
. . . because I scheduled this to post at 5:55 p.m. Eastern, not 2:55 p.m. Eastern. Either I need to check my e-mail (probable) or I need to contact technical support.
Either way, I’m glad it worked out for the soccer fans. Have at it!

Yeah, that's not the first time that's happened today.
That’s really, really weird. I’m glad it worked out, but I set it for 5:55 p.m. Eastern (hence the “right now” regarding the Lady Bulldogs’ 6:00 p.m. Eastern tip-off). Strange.

Is there a set time when each post comes up?
Meaning, I could be reading something you wrote in 2009?
Of course, if you wrote the above in 2009, I’m impressed with your ability to tell the future, but, at the same time, disappointed in your obviously contrived “Don’t Bet On It!” pieces.

Donovan stayed in the USA to play in the MLS Cup Semifinal for his club team...
… and Oguchi Onyewu has a groin injury, which is why he’s not playing.

I can bake like a demon.
For the no people that are watching...
… the US is looking surprisingly good in the first half. They’re creating positive play in the top half of the field and playing solid defense when the Chickens have the ball.
At this point, I would say a US goal is more likely than a French goal. 10 minutes left in the first half.
Editor, Dawg Sports.
Go Dawgs!
I just had an epiphany about this game.
The USA is playing France on Armistice Day, but our head coach and several of our best players are German-born.
I guess that makes us the bad guys. (But shouldn’t we also have wrapped up the game in the first 5 minutes?)

not a bad game, but not a good one either. We’ve got so long to go.

I smell danger in Stegeman
We were painfully sloppy against the Delta Devils in the season opener last year.
I think I’m more intrigued by this Georgia team than hopeful, which is OK. Fox led us back to the NCAAs- you know, in a way that wasn’t fashioned in one weekend- last year, so that’s off our backs. Time to build the program.
Luckily this is a much younger, weaker Wofford team...
Than the NCAA Tourney squad from last season, or so a friend of mine from Wofford says.

. . . because I’m not a danged dirty communist.
Seriously, a college basketball game on an aircraft carrier on Veterans Day, with the president present. How cool is that?

If the ball goes over the side...
will the Coast Guard retrieve it?

I really think they should have more basketball games
on aircraft carriers. This Carrier Classic is going to be EPIC.

I agree...
but a basketball game on a submarine would really get some ratings.

I'm totally with you.
I think we should play Florida in basketball on an aircraft carrier at Jacksonville NAS.
By the way, the Georgia women’s volleyball team won the first set against Mississippi State.

Georgia volleyball defeats Mississippi State, 3-1.
Meanwhile, halftime of the Carrier Classic featured Brooklyn Decker shooting baskets. The guy who scheduled the Black Eyed Peas to play the Super Bowl halftime show should never work again.

This will be a long season
If we don’t develop an inside game. We look awful.

GR2 more in control… hope he keeps that up.

I didn’t work out often for Leslie, but I think there is even less chance of GR2 doing something freakishly athletic to recover.

when it comes down to it, would you rather sit at the house and drink a cold one……or watch a game against a crappy opponent in an equally crappy venue?

No
You are right about that. We will get destroyed in conference play if we do not develop an inside presence on both sides of the ball.
by Jason Marcus on Nov 11, 2011 9:31 PM EST up reply actions
I thought so.
Also, I saw a stat where we didn’t have a single point from the post and Wafford has out rebounded us by 10. (Pessimism soon to kick in.)

It could
just be a mismatch in this one game. That will happen. The real tell-tale will be if it is a consistent problem. Sometimes these midmajors get freak athletes that couldn’t get in somewhere else, wanted to stay close to home, or whatever reason.
It's Wofford
the “freak athletes that could’t get in somewhere else” aren’t going to Wofford.

It was a generality.
Maybe they borrowed sasquatch or the local forest creature the villagers see from time to time.

Wofford was last year's SoCon champ.
While it’s not the SEC they were better than Davidson and CofC. I wonder how much they have lost from last year. Didn’t we go to OT with them last year?
Dick Vitale just went on about how awful college football's postseason is.
It made me want to puke.
On the plus side, Pamela Anderson is at the Carrier Classic!

How long have they done that?
How cool is that? It reminds me of something out of street fighter…except it’s basketball. But there are hot girls there.

This was the first year, but it looks like they're going to make it an annual thing.
It was very, very cool. College basketball on an aircraft carrier on Veterans Day with the president present. That’s awesome, any way you look at it.

The after card
should be a UFC main event. Then it really would be like street fighter. Have more bikini girls in the background too. Maybe not in november.

Not that that's saying much.
But yeah I agree. Although the D is looking pretty good.

If this was football I'd be definitely good
with that statement. But as it’s the sport with the orange ball I think offense is a bigger deal.

I don't think that in basketball
it’s feasible to hold your opponent to a low number of points w/o lots of fouls. But I’m no expert, so don’t quote me on that. Just a reasonably informed guess.

Again, watch Izzo, Ryan of Wisconsin, among several others
that seems can work, and work with great success.

for the advice. I enjoy learning things about sports, and I will be the first to admit I’m basically clueless about the sport with the orange ball.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's not going to be a problem.
Let’s not make too much of last week’s suspensions. It’s not like the Sanford Stadium locker room is backstage at “Saturday Night Live” in the ’70s or anything.

But if it were....
it would be hilarious. Still at a loss why you can’t stay off the grass during the season. How hard is it. We’ve all smoked a bowl at one point in our life, but sometimes you have to give it up.
