Not only did he call us Miami he said we were playing Charlotte. I thought he was commenting on another game, was Miami playing UNC Charlotte?that was about as good as the game was.

I hate MAC Conference. It's from the Department of Redundancy Department. Just like ATM machine.

It was mindblowing to watch Jay Williwams screw this up. What an idiotic mistake.

Well, Jay Williams did go to Duke, and my cousin (who goes to UNC) regards Duke in the same way we regard Miami, which means she wouldn't be surprised by his stupidity.

I thought they also said at the opening that this opening match features 2 tournament teams from a year ago.

I always wonder when an announcer calls us "Ohio U" if he is making a subtle jab or just stupid.

Nothing drives me crazier than when an announcer says the word conference even if the conference acronym ends in the word conference. Brent Musberger was notorious for that this year while calling SEC games. It's not called the Southeastern Conference Conference, so why would you say SEC conference? I wanna jump through the TV every time I hear it.

This clown is at it again. He obviously wasn't informed there is no U in Ohio in his review from yesterday's game, or he is completely obtuse.

Speaking in generalities: Color commentators seem much more guilty of calling us Ohio U than play by play announcers.

Play by play - professional broadcaster more likely to do homework.

Color commentator - former player who thinks they can just show up and run off at the mouth speaking from personal experience.

When they say MAC conference and Ohio U it's more about the announcing team that we get. We are getting the "C" team at best, not Clark Kellogg and Brent Musberger. Make that the "D" team.

And, if you're going to "kill yourself" by taking a floater it is not "genocide".

That was my thought exactly. Whoever was responsible, get's my congratulations. Since he or she is so effective, please send a similar note, email message, whatever, to Steve Mix.

He brought out references to Trent and Ford in correcting himself, noting that it was Ohio U. when he was a player.

What a bunch of crap. Maybe Vern Alden needs to send him a second note. I don't think Vern does email, but I might be wrong.

Does she still feel this way given that there is proof that you can matriculate at UNC indefinitely without actually attending class? (At least as long as you have eligibility remaining.)

I'm afraid to ask.

Setty drilled a 3 and as he was getting back on D, threw up the hang loose gesture. The color man said something along the lines of, "Was that the shocker? No, those aren't the right fingers for the shocker."

For those that don't know....and without violating the site's rules on profanity....the shocker is a hand gesture referencing a very obscene sex act. Think middle finger, but way way worse.

I thought he was saying it was a shocker that Setty made a three.
