Around SBN: Jeremy Lin's Game-Winner Was Incredible, Worth Remembering

YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT HE'S TALKING ABOUT

Congrats to the Florida basketball team, presumably doing it real big in Gainesville. You have no idea what this means, which is what Joakim Noah is telling you here:

Nailing whole seabass to car hoods? Making love to trees? Oh, if Noah's involved, all that and more.

Of course the Buckeyes lost; did you notice the little silver tabs on the sholders of their jerseys? That’s the velcro where they attach the red capes they wear to appear SUPER! Apparently, someone stole their capes.

As an aside, if Owen (?) the tOSU center is less than 29 years old, I’d be amazed. He sure as hell isn’t 18.

I will say this—for a young man you grew up in the impoverished ghettos of America, Noah actually does a good job of communicating. I mean, think about it, many of these guys didn’t get great educations at the inner city high schools they attended, and while Noah is definately rough around the edges, he seems to almost be intelligent.

Sorry, I should have noted that my comment was complete sarcasm. Like the rest of America, I have been bombarded with Noah facts, i.e. who his mom and dad are, the fact that he speaks fluent French, the fact that he’s only 1/2 human, etc.

So yes, my comment was complete sarcasm. I hate Noah, no matter what Swindle tries to convince me of otherwise…his ghetto-ish rant at the end of the game only begins to explain why. He is about as hood as I am. Correction…I may actually be more ghetto than him. I’ve killed a man.

As someone who openly questioned back in January whether the sports gods would allow one school to hog the championship smorgasbord that the basketball Gators finished off last night, allow me to issue this mea culpa and congratulate our friends from Gainesville.

And while I’m not prepared to say this Florida team was better than the 91-92 Duke team that was the last to pull off a repeat, you can make a credible case for that. Florida never had to beat anyone as good as the ‘91 UNLV team during their run, but they also never needed a miracle buzzer-beater to beat anyone, either. Aside from the first 30 minutes of both the Purdue and Butler games, the Gators didn’t really break a sweat defending their title. That’s impressive as hell.

Seeing Buckeye fans cry again was well worth it.

That’s good stuff, Mike. However, I don’t know if we’re brothers from another mother…no one is quite sure where I came from…It’s been rumored that I was actually found in the swamps of Louisiana, being raised by a group of friendly black bears and loveable alligators before being adopted by human parents, but who knows?

You have to wonder if Noah’s antics are all for draft day. No disrespect (well ok a little) Look how much Ronaldo Balkman’s stock shot up after his antics during the Cocks run in the SECT and NIT last year… went from a solid late 2nd rounder/ early 3rd rounder to 1st round pick for the Knicks. Don’t get me wrong, he’s a great player and I loved watching him play for South Carolina, but damn, did he sell it. I think Noah can see dollar signs like anyone else. My hope is to see Noah go Rodman weird in the NBA.

Just like a S. Carolina fan to be incorrect. There is no 3rd Round in the NBA Draft.

No, Florida is not that good, nowhere near comparable to the Duke squads in ’91 and ’92. Nowhere near comparable to UNC in ’05, Kentucky in ’96, Duke in ’01, or UNLV in ’90.

But, they have won two national titles in a row, and they really did not break a sweat in winning either.

It is not Florida’s fault that their first national title occurred in possibly the worst year, talent wise, of college basketball in over 50 years, just as it is not their fault, well maybe it is, that everybody played horribly against them in Atlanta.

Fla had something to do with destroying UCLA and Ohio State, I believe.

Is it because Oden is over 40 that he got to wear the non-contact jersey? Damn thing had a direct link to the ref’s whistle and only works one way. I mean, no one was allowed to touch that old fart without fouling him, and he put Corey on the floor twice with no fouls… man, that’s some good shit if you can get it.

I was in the dark regarding Orson’s defense of Noah in the earlier post, but now all is clear. He’s just so darn lovable, isn’t he? The fake ghetto blather and the fact that he’s half French and a silver spoon kid to boot only add to his cuddly cuteness!

Nice drive-bys MasterGaytor…although it all sounds a little bitter and resentful, especially the homo-erotic, paternalistic angle you take in your screenname. Try not to make your anti-Gator, Noah-hatin’ so obvious… especially since us Gators are on such an NCAA unprecedented high. Yeah, I know you’re just waitin’ for Orson to crank out the “Punch-List”, not that in reality you could do much to mar Noah’s natural visage, its the desire to do so that tells the true color of your soul….work on that, it will only do you good.

Jon… if the gin makes me belligerent, then the vodka does something else entirely.

dogtown, thats what it meant to me…KKG’s and AOP’s in my time, although early on it was DDD and ADP, but you tend to go through the crowd and look for something new…or did I wear out my welcome??? I can’t remember… there was the intoxicated formal dinner where I asked (after clinking my glass) “the difference between a DDD and a bowling ball” which didn’t get a very good reception except for my frat bros… at least they got it…so I’m sorry they didn’t get to finish dinner…. it was still funny.
