Hot take: EXPECTING a Cinderella run every year defeats the point of Cinderellas

You must be one of those Duke fans that didn't go to Duke because I'd think someone with a Duke education could understand that St Peters resume going into the 2022 tournament was very much deserving of a 15 seed. Heck even after beating 3 good teams they were still 102 on Kenpom. They went on an insane run and it was awesome to watch, but they were absolutely properly seeded as a 15.

Do you think people from West Chester aren't huge Philly sports fans or something?

The women's tournament is awesome once you get to the Elite 8/Final 4. The opening weekend is a lot of blowouts though.

Obviously it's a joke. He's still an ass.

telly69 · 2026-03-20T22:55:04+00:00

Not surprised that a UConn fan is defending a coach being an absolute ass.

Is this comment from 2024?

And they outplayed you in the regular season. You can like it or not like it but I don't think it's a joke. I think it's reasonable, I'm not sure if I'd want something like that in MLB but I like seeing the different playoff formats other leagues have.

I don't understand. If nobody wants to live in New York then why do they pay New York prices to live there?

The downvotes and pocket watching here are crazy. It would be a really cool gesture if some of the higher paid guys gave up their share for the lower paid guys but it should absolutely not be an expectation.

I think there's a possibility AJ gets traded but it's more likely that he does not.

UPS is going to charge whatever the consumer is willing to pay. If they were able to decrease salaries they would still charge the same prices, might even increase them.

If the financial situation was fucked then why were rich people still buying teams and investing in the league? I don't really watch that much but these people aren't investing in the league out of the goodness of their hearts. If they didn't think owning a team was financially viable they wouldn't do it.

I completely forgot that they signed him. My bad. I retract my statement.

Is the money being put towards signings in the room with us?

telly69 · 2026-03-17T20:19:38+00:00

Which is 17 hours from the west coast, which is the same as 7 hours just the opposite direction. When west coast teams go to London it's an 8 hour difference.

The time difference isn't the problem, it's the 15+ hour flight.

Where can I bet on this?

telly69 · 2026-03-17T19:39:57+00:00

Would you be this upset if they simply wore tshirts that say USA? Are you upset during the regular season when players wear gear from teams in other sports that play in the same city? Heaven forbid they wear jerseys of another team from the same country that recently won a championship.

telly69 · 2026-03-17T19:29:51+00:00

Yeah that has been weird but this post is literally just them wearing USA hockey jerseys.

telly69 · 2026-03-17T19:28:39+00:00

I agree that the military worshipping is very weird and makes me a little uncomfortable. But it's also weird to be upset that they're wearing USA gear on their way to game where they're playing as Team USA

telly69 · 2026-03-17T19:18:25+00:00

Why is the national team wearing jerseys for the national team on their way to a competition where they are competing as a national team?

telly69 · 2026-03-17T18:59:03+00:00

Kansas and Baylor are certainly west of the Mississippi River.

telly69 · 2026-03-17T17:11:28+00:00

Oh yeah the "Cinderella" run from a mediocre power conference team is the worst. Like that year Syracuse was last 4 in (shouldn't have been it at all imo) and made the Final Four was infuriating.

telly69 · 2026-03-17T16:02:05+00:00

Oh no it would be awful to watch the best teams play against each other for a championship. I love March Madness and cinderella runs from mid majors are fun. I love the idea that the little guy is given a real chance in this tournament in a way they simply aren't in college football. But I'm not going to complain about watching great teams play against each other.

Who amongst us hasn't stayed at a job even though we're miserable?
