Last time was 1980.

According to the Washington Post, it's the first time since 1980.

Nantz was emphatically disparaging GMU's schedule. Now look at what GMU did, they beat 2 teams who had players with championship rings (UNC & UConn) and another with players who made a Final Four (Michigan St.). The only other runs to the Final Four that I could match this with are UofA in '97, and 'Nova in '85. It's a tremendous job.

Also, a big shout out to VA men's basketball. Virginia Union DII 2005 champs and '06 runner-up. Virigina Weselyan DIII 2006 champs. GMU in the Final Four.

Oh yeah, forgot about the ODU Monarchs making the NIT Final Four also.

Not doing that either.

Wait a minute...TK is back on the radio???? Since when???? And how can I listen to him????? I'm in Pittsburgh and haven't heard a "Claasssic" since he left ESPN Radio....

TMP,

Tony is indeed back on radio, although you picked a bad time to find that out. LOL. He has taken the Monday Night Football gig on ESPN and will be leaving the radio soon. He'll be back again after the NFL season, but you don't have much time to listen to him.

You can hear him on XM radio, channel 152, daily at 11 am. That's a delayed broadcast. If you don't have XM, you can listen to the live stream at http://thiswebsitestinks.com/ starting at 9 am, weekdays.

Good luck! By the way, this thread stinks!

To quote Homer Simpson...

I've had quite enough of your Vassar-bashing!

True, but your post had not appeared when I posted. The times sure seem to be screwy on the new forum. I posted my reply Monday morning (east coast), but it shows as 12:30pm. ????

You're lucky. We get his b*itching, moaning, complaining, griping on Sports Talk 980 FM in the DC area.

Yeah, but it's funny b*itching, moaning, complaining, and griping.
