Pistol Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 So you really want to imply that the NIT is on par with the NCAA Tournament? It is not and never will be. I'm not saying that there's nothing good about getting this far or further in the NIT, but don't call it "Sweet Sixteen." Technically, the NCAA only owns the trademark for "NCAA Sweet Sixteen" and "NCAA Sweet 16", and not "Sweet Sixteen" or "Sweet 16", which suggests to me that those terms independently are too broadly used (and probably once - still? - more commonly for girls' birthday parties). So from a legal standpoint, it is perfectly acceptable to use "Sweet Sixteen" alone to refer to that round of any tournament. Perhaps you could just ask the previous posters to use "Women's NIT Sweet Sixteen" if you find the common use of the term to be too confusing.

hsmith19 Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 I already know that bringing my daughter to Friday's game will make her a lesbian, but what I'm really confused about is how it will affect my son: Will he grow up to be gay, or will he be super masculine and straight? All I know for sure is he'll have to change his name to Caitlyn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pistol Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 The NCAA does, however, own the trademarks to the terms "March Madness", "Final Four", and "Elite Eight" - but not "Sweet Sixteen" without the "NCAA" as a preface. So maybe if the women win again, some of you should be more careful about upsetting the NCAA's watchdog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quality Is Job 1 Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 What are your thoughts on femininity in sports? My thoughts are that you are a master baitor. When did people stop saying "Great Eight?" About the time the conference rolled over into Conference USA. 1995. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hsmith19 Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 About the time the conference rolled over into Conference USA. 1995. Since they don't do the ESPN thing in the fall anymore, maybe the WNIT should reclaim "Great Eight." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMM28 Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Does the Billiken have genitals? Talk about not being fierce enough. They could have skipped the new logo and just hooked a big horse cock on the Billiken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cgeldmacher Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 On a strictly basketball note: Last night's game was about as much fun as you can have watching basketball. Tied after first quarter. Bills lead by one at half. Bills down at the end of three. Bills pull out the win. If you are not doing anything Friday night, come down to the game. It will get your basketball mojo back in line for when our new men's team coach turns us back around. No back to the other talk: The Billiken is clearly a dude. Many people call him simply "Bill." Not a chick. I remember times in the 80's and 90's when they used to dress up one of the alternate billiken costumes as the Billiken's mom. Let's not back off of the idea that Bill is a very manly guy and should be feared by opposing team's mascots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pistol Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Does the Billiken have genitals? I've never looked. But I've seen other people's genitals very near (on?) the statue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bills lead by one at half. Bills down at the end of three. Bills pull out the win. We actually led by 1 at the end of the 3rd too. Part of what made it so fun was the mini-runs the Bills went on at the end of all four quarters. They probably trailed for close to 30 minutes but kept coming back. The opposite of the usual trend at the men's games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adman Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 They weren't a great shooting team during the year 40/30 from the field and 3 but the last A10 game and these 2 NIT games have been quite a bit worse. Last night about 30/16 from the field and 3. Lesser teams are hanging with them. They need to find their stroke at least close to their regular season numbers if they want to win this thing Right on. Brick after brick. But they are relentless, love teams with no fear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always said nice things when they do good stuff. Don't you remember my post from 2013? (No, but really, I do try to applaud them when they have good ideas. There's very little credibility when someone does nothing but bash. ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
