Bear Down Wildcats

I’m ashamed that I watched it….

Doesn't really sound like booing

More like getting yelled at

the "we paid players before it was cool" is GANGSTA!!!

I saw a “where’s Schlabach” sign at the end.

I tuned in late (mostly because I was in a mental battle on whether to give ESPN ratings), so maybe I missed it, but was there an interview with Tommy or a deep dive into the team?

All I saw was them giving credit to Tommy for putting together a roster he didn’t put together, talking about El Charro, and then picking us to win the game. Did I miss anything else on us?

That was about it. Time to put GameDay out of its misery.

Then why go to a school? Just do the show from the studio if you’re not going to talk about the program you’re visiting.

The “f” in fESPN is starting to stand for “fail”.

they said Duke "should be a #1 seed" but im sure you probably already knew that

They said a lot of stupid shit. Like Bilas saying there need to be more fouls called. For a supposedly smart person he sure is fucking stupid.

Haha, J-Mark, tell us you really feel

Greenberg is an official piece of shit.

So how come no interview with Coach Lloyd? Everyone else gets a few minutes…

What's next - Prez Ricky Bobbie?

It already exists.

Best sign hands down.

Also - will the fans booo Bilas when he walks on the court tonight too? Hope so.

Surprised that left one got by the ESPN door censors.

Well ESPN Australia doesn't appear to be carrying the game down here.

And it doesn't look like it is going to be on WatchESPN either.

And there is no contact information anywhere to find out why.

Dare I ask, is there going to be a game thread?

You Aussie socialist haters of freedumb don't deserve Game Day basketball! The BDW game thread is all you get! NO Game Day For You!!!

My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with a girl who said there was going to be a game thread.

It won't matter. If I keep drinking Mourvedre at the current rate I'll be so shitfaced by tip-off that I won't be able to adhere to my usual verbal restraint and I'll pollute whatever thread emerges.

Hell, I have absolutely no idea whom I picked for tonight's game. I'm a bad, bad fan.

Bilas’ antipathy towards AZ is unsubtle and unprofessional. He’s a tool, and I’m fine if he never steps foot in McKale again.

He embodies the Eastern Sports Propaganda Networks entire POV.

I can't believe those guys said Duke deserved a one seed. They have had some good games but the eye test says not top 4.

Yes, but what about the “must slob Coach K’s knob” test, huh?

You probably haven't been watching enough ESPN over the last 20 years if you can't believe they said that

I hereby declare Jay Bilas's new name to be "DookieB".

I only watched because I thought they usually have a segment on the school/team they visit. I haven't watched any other gameday this year so I don't know if this is a trend or not. ESPN has been doing lots of cuts over the last few years, it seems like these worthless trips college basketball gameday is taking should have been the first to go.

Compared to Football College Game Day it sucks.

I mean they both suck.

It's nothing but tear-jerker stories.

Not sure what FB gameday you watch but that's not entirely true. More team and coach breakdowns over 3 hours.
And the whole sign thing is hilarious most of the time and Korso - while getting too old - provides humor with his headgear pick.

Yeah I'm not watching 3 hours of that. But anytime I channel surf to ESPN they have some tear-jerker story on with that piano, and it'll happen a couple more times after I switch off and back on.

I gave up on it years ago, also any NFL pregame because it's the same thing.

The other stuff like the headgear, the novelty wore off a while ago and you can just see it on social media a minute later.

When I finally turned it on (after the twenty minute debate with myself) it was the story of the kid at Washington University who has stomach cancer. Usually there’s some silver lining/happy ending but that one was just, “he’s going to die soon, but he’s inspiring people”. Then they go to commercial.

My wife at this point is crying and I’m all choked up, but I figured the rest of the show would be this great showcase about Arizona and the team. Instead we got duck tacos and Bilas complaining that there aren’t enough fouls called and then the stupid prediction segment and they called it a day.

Thanks for nothing ESPN pricks. After actively trying to shove the boot of American anger up our ass for years the least you could do was interview Tommy and talk about the change in culture.

To talk about “change of culture”, they’d have to mention he-who-cannot-be-mentioned and/or have CTL compliment CSM for the players and their preparation (as he’s done every time I’ve heard him address the topic)

They’re chickenshits!
