ESPN 24 hours telethon!! WHOS IN WITH ME?

[lakesbison]

WILL BE ON COUCH WATCHING..College Hoops Tip-Off Marathon @ 11pm featuring 12 consecutive live college basketball games in 24 hours Tuesday on ESPN... SEND BEER AND FOOD!!!

Call State vs UCLA on now. (former GOPHER WEBSTER playing for CAL STATE!)

[StewieGopherFan]

I'm with ya.. for a couple hours.

[ShowinGoldyLove]

What's the best game tomorrow night...Memphis vs Kansas or Gonzaga vs Michigan State?

[The Truth]

I'm on a "mandated" vacation the next two weeks so I'm going all in. Probably take a break and catch a nap before I run the kids to school though.

[North Country]

Arizona State is also on ESPNU right now. Hopkins grad Trent Lockett is starting (at least in the 2nd half) and looks really good. Had a solid putback dunk in the 1st half and already has 2 steals in the 2nd.

[GopherNation]

it's times like this I wish i was still laid off

[MRJ]

I'll give it a go, but I'm not sure my eyelids can take all the toothpick abuse.

Gonzaga vs Michigan State is my pick for best game.

then Memphis vs Kansas. (*maybe memphis can get NDSU's back and beat them. haha)*

[The Truth]

I remember when Kentucky was recruiting Reeves Nelson and everybody was convinced that because of Porter and Hayes he was UK bound. I can tell you who on that team almost was: Drew Gordon. Loved Tubby from what I understand and was ready to commit.

I should quit my job and join you, but something tells me it would be a.......


"baaaad choice."

[lakesbison]

THE UCLA CHEERLEADERS just gave me a "BOOST" for the marathon... anyone else?? haha

Funny, I was just thinking that they were sub-par for typical UCLA cheerleaders?

[The Truth]

Just be thankful (like my wife and I are) that you have a job in this economy. We have a couple of friends around the country who have/are really struggling right now. Last year I was really close to resigning and going back to college to get a M.A. I had put serious thought into pursuing my dream of teaching and coaching.

[ncgo4]

Our football coach has eligibility left for basketball? No wait, that's Brewster.

[lakesbison]

Showin... you looked at their faces?? oh no no no.... thats like lookin at medusa'


How bout Call State Fullerton 23- 21!

[The Truth]

Really impressed by this Cal State Fullerton team. Quick, long and some nice athletes. They look to have no fear either. Ben Howland's a great (and I mean GREAT!) defensive coach but his offensive strategy has always left me cold.

[mnboiler]

I'm in for a while. I'll see how long I last. I'm putting it somewhere in the 3:00-5:00 hour. If I make it longer than that I should be good for the entire 24 minus class and meeting(shaking fist angerly). Might as well knock out some homework while I'm at. Wow Cal-State Fullerton 33-27 at half. They are looking reallyl good.

[mnboiler]

THE UCLA CHEERLEADERS just gave me a "BOOST" for the marathon... anyone else?? haha

UCLA cheerleaders always give me a boost. But ya these girls are marginal for UCLA cheerleaders.

[lakesbison]

1st upset of the 24 hours brewing for webster and cal state!

reminder for us late night guys... LEONID METEOR SHOWERS at 3 AM!! (during No. Colorado vs Hawaii game) ha ha.

[mnboiler]

So roommate decided it was much more important to watch Futurama reruns instead. So I'm out, sorry.

[lakesbison]

Cal State up 10. wow!


So what do you do for the 6Am start time as a coach? let the kids sleep from 9pm until 4:30 AM? wierd wierd stuff going on tonite!

[bassy123]

[bassy123]

there is nobody at the ucla game.

[josh087]

"Telethon?" That would imply some sort of charity. This EPPN marathon is purely for my benefit and especially with Mich St/Gonzaga this is bliss......Miss Bliss.

[lakesbison]

Telethon - TELEvision MaraTHON?? no??

man UC Fullerton is choking this away. Yes. Ill put Futurama on for her anytime.

[The Truth]

there is nobody at the ucla game.

There never is. Most overrated fanbase in college basketball just edging out UNC.

[lakesbison]

Great Hook by WEBSTER to make it 56-57 with 30 sec left

[GopherLady]

Great Hook by WEBSTER to make it 56-57 with 30 sec left

[lakesbison]

[mesothelioma]

Double OT now! My Bruins are letting CSU-F hang around for too long

UC - clap, clap - LA

[GopherLady]

Double OT!!! Is it November, or March. Reason # 809 why I love college hoops - this game means little in the grand scheme of things, but each team is fighting like it's tourney time. I'm so freakin' pumped...college basketball season is THE BEST!!!

[lakesbison]

Big Block by webster!! CSF up by 2 with 24 seconds left... man Im gonna be up all night

P.S. I'm am stepping away from the ESPN before I get caught up in the next game...

[lakesbison]

[lakesbison]
