(Perspectives After the Jump)

Star-divide

View from the Student Section - A Perspective from Campus:

Oh, man.  Final Four, baby!  I'm still riding the wave from the win over UNC and my subsequent march to the White House with a few hundred of my closest friends.  Can it possibly get any better than that!  Nothing can stop us now!  Not even Greg Oden!  Hoya Saxa!

View from the Court Side Seats - A Perspective from OldHoya:

Ohio State again? This is the second time in three years. OldHoya lived in Columbus, Ohio for many years but has been going to Hoya home games and all NCAA Tournament games since 1978. Rest assured, he's not missing the Final Four, particularly with two of the game's premier big men matching up. Let's not kid ourselves, though, this game will turn on star players and for that, OldHoya (like the rest of the free world) looks to Jeff Green. Have you already forgotten what he did against Vanderbilt? Even from his seat in East Rutherford, OldHoya heard the screams pouring out of Nathan's and could smell the bourbon flowing. Get the ball to Green and let's win the game.

View from the Sportsbook (via DonBest) - A Perspective from Vegas:

The Line: Georgetown -1.  Over/Under 141. 

UNC was probably the best team in the country and the Hoyas utterly dismantled them in the 2nd half and OT to reach the Final Four.  Vegas is making the Hoyas the favorite here based on that performance.  Ohio State plays a much more deliberate pace than the Heels, and I suspect the Buckeye's zone defense with Oden in the middle will cause the Hoyas some problems.  So long as the refs don't call this one tight however, I expect Roy to show up huge on this stage and prove that he is the best big man in the country. 

I'm already spending the winnings here to buy my plane ticket for the rematch against Florida on Monday night. 

The pick is Georgetown -1.  Final score Hoyas 76 - Buckeyes 68.

On the Season:

Casual Hoya is 34-0 ATS.

Why?

Why not do a re-dux of the NC game at the Meadowlands or even the Florida game the previous year. Hell, the Davidson game was at least exciting. This game was just a disappointing snoozer. I know, I was there.

Spoiler alert: you won’t have to type Jeff Green’s name very frequently during your live blog of the game.

Yeah...

Would hate too see Scottie leave.but he takes to many bad shots. I don’t think he’ll ever grow. One day we’ll get back to the final four. I hope its soon.

Never mistake effort for achievement.

So glad Syracuse didn't make it.

I don’t think there’s anything Eric Devendorf can do to be MORE objectionable. I hate that guy.

Why so Syracuse?

I think you mean "affect"

See, I’m currently majoring in English at GU. Probably be able to turn that into a decent lucrative career so I don’t need the other, more practical one.

oden is a can't miss stud

i mean, if i had to take Durant or Oden with the number one pick in the draft, there’s no way i could pass on a once in a generation big man like Oden. Simply no way. You just cant pass on that.

NOT BAD.

a little concerned that we aren’t DOMINATING with oden out, but no one aside from conley really doing much.

if jeff and roy get it going in the 2nd haf and we get minimal contribution from sapp/suummers/ewing, we’ll be FINE.

no worries

Led by Jeremiah Rivers, with a year of experience under his belt, will lead Georgetown to the promised land. Plus, I never expected Gtown to go all the way my freshman year, but my senior year… for sure. If only there were a bar with TVs on campus…

Do you ever watch the 1982 NCAA Championship game and catch yourself yelling "DON"T DO IT FRED" at the TV (I know I do) ? And then BAM, he does it anyway. In much the same way, I would have yelled "DON"T DO IT CASUAL."

Ok. I’m going to go throw pepper in my eye and salt in my wound.

Good. Now that that's over

Maybe it’s time for some content on the blog. You know, since it’s the day before our biggest game of the year. Just a thought.

This is a perfect blog idea for the offseason. Hell, from April through September you can do bi-weekly retro diary of a different old game every day. But maybe not the day before the tournament. Call me crazy.

That this thread happened or that I read every comment?

by James Kannengieser on Mar 17, 2010 11:05 PM EDT reply actions  

one day

Archinetologists will uncover this thread, and be deeply, deeply confused. Some will think that it was the actual game night thread from ’07, and they will be awed by the Hilltop Nostradami. History Channel Intergalactic may even do a documentary about us.

Was this a first in the history of the college hoops blogosphere? Amazed and a little concerned by the fact that the comments thread was probably longer than 90% of our actual game threads this year.
