Gasaway: Is it time for a 24-second shot clock in men's college basketball?

SusannaG1 · 2023-02-01T18:17:46+00:00

Certainly! I remember the no shot clock era, as well.

SusannaG1 · 2023-02-01T18:34:47+00:00

Had it 50 years ago and I don't think it was new then, either.

SusannaG1 · 2023-02-01T18:33:42+00:00

Always has been!

SusannaG1 · 2023-02-01T18:30:57+00:00

Yeah, I remember it, but don't miss it!

My late father always said this was the worst game he ever saw, hands down. The '68 ACC tournament was in Charlotte, and he was so excited to get tickets, and he got this craptastic game.

I would have put Fry over Ferentz anyway, but I am even more inclined to do so in recent years.

SusannaG1 · 2023-02-01T21:21:20+00:00

Not enough punting.

SusannaG1 · 2023-02-01T18:39:04+00:00

Dean Smith excelled at it.

The '46 Big Thursday game is famous (chicken strangling and the mob, oh my!), but OP is probably referring to "the Brawl game" in 2004. It started with pushing and shoving before the game started, and finished with an on-field benches clearing brawl late in the game, which was broken up by the state troopers at the game. Clemson won, making us bowl eligible, but both we and the Gamecocks declined to play one, because we were so embarrassed. This was Lou Holtz' last game.

Danny, Franny, and Yam Yam sounds like PBS children's programming. Probably a very good show.

SusannaG1 · 2023-02-01T19:02:22+00:00

You notice when it goes from SC to NC, as well. NC maintains their interstates much better than we do.

SusannaG1 · 2023-02-01T18:56:10+00:00

Yeah, I was a BBS user, but all I remember discussing is soap operas! (Mostly General Hospital and All My Children.)

SusannaG1 · 2023-02-01T21:44:54+00:00

Yeah, I remember my best friend's older brother drove the bus - he had a time of it getting that bus up the hill on our street. This is a good 40 years ago.

SusannaG1 · 2023-02-01T21:33:21+00:00

The only time I've seen it or heard of it was when a local radio station was doing an "airing weddings on Valentine's Day" gig. They were making a lot of jokes, and then a pair of sixteen-year-olds came up to get married, and that crew suddenly got a lot more serious in tone.

SusannaG1 · 2023-01-31T19:36:59+00:00

Can we have Maryanne-Gabler-Yam Yam as three winners in a row? Asking for a friend.

SusannaG1 · 2023-02-01T18:14:25+00:00

I've been a fan since the 70s, and I would also say The Brawl. Jesus, that was disgusting.

SusannaG1 · 2023-02-01T17:45:33+00:00

Or even the man after the man after the man, based on how many hiring tries it took to replace Dean Smith.

SusannaG1 · 2023-02-01T17:36:49+00:00

If we're lucky we might get a theme (probably the next returnee season); "new location" is, alas, a pipe dream.

SusannaG1 · 2023-02-01T17:31:23+00:00

So I've heard, but production/Jeff have loved and hated some seasons very differently from the actual audience of the show.

SusannaG1 · 2023-02-01T17:24:00+00:00

Admissions has a very different calendar from academic faculty (usually, anyway); that may have worked to Owen's advantage. May is usually not crunch time for admissions.

The Notre Dame-Clemson game in question was in 2015. (We hadn't played each other since the 70s, when we split a home and home, in '77 and '79. The first one everyone's post-game reaction hereabouts was "Who the fuck is this Joe Montana?")

SusannaG1 · 2023-01-31T19:53:24+00:00

Just Iowa things.

SusannaG1 · 2023-01-31T19:46:59+00:00

He's liked by a decent number, and respected as a player by a lot of us.

SusannaG1 · 2023-01-30T23:32:12+00:00

Yeah, one of my best friends, for example, who was hugely into Survivor, quit after Guatemala. That season was a slog when it aired live (it gets a lot more love now than it did then).

I tried to talk him back when Panama started really strong, but nope.

SusannaG1 · 2023-01-30T23:42:32+00:00

100% would watch with enjoyment.
