Roll Call (yes this is for real): Bryant @ Ohio A&M

Who wants to welcome Coach O'Shea (and his new assistant Al Skinner... Wait a sec! Al Skinner!?!?!?) back to Ohio next Wednesday? bleedgreenandwhite and I are in, cheap tix on stubhub... Yes, all 3 of the most recent Ohio coaches visit the Schott this year.

I'd go if it wasn't finals week. I have some high school friends that go to state and I could make fun of them for cheering for the wrong school

All Day, a past roommate, and I went thirdsies on the 2005 MAC Tournament championship banner that was auctioned off a while back.

Question is... is this game worthy of unavailing it in all it's magnitude?

All Day: are we close enough for a pre-game warmup display and sign?

We are a stone's throw away from Timmy O. Just need to make sure we don't actually throw any stones. He will definitely see us and hear us.

never argue with idiots, they bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.

One we all had to live with.

I find it humorous that the feeling was mutual. All the more fun to honor his 2005 tourny appearance.

We could play TOS Bi go. Jacket off + pulling hair + jumping up and down = automatic win.

Slow on the uptake here, too. Once I read it the second time, with JSF's and your prompting, I get it! Well, done!

I'd love to make a "Bryant, Bryant and Bryant" sign.

Of all the tone-deaf things he said, "Ohio, Ohio and Ohio" stuck in my craw the most. It was a an alley-oop lob from the reporter and he caught it and threw it into the fifth row.

Can I get an explanation? I didnt go to Ohio until 2007. I remember the 05 team going to the NCAA but didnt follow them as closely back then

It should have been a plea for two bids for a conference, but still it was awesome/funny. I love this thread.

Ohio, Ohio and Ohio is classic.

But What is Buffalo sucks is arguably the greatest line ever.

Because that Buffalo team was incredible. It's a crying shame Turner Battle never played in the NCAA tournament. Ohio deserved its bid, as we saw as we screamed our lungs out in that incredible game in Nashville against Florida. But Buffalo needed an at-large bid.

Buffalo NOT getting that at-large is the justification the committee can use to never give the MAC an at-large ever again. Okay, I've overstated my case with that. But if the MAC couldn't get two in in 2005, it has no chance in 2014.

Buffalo didn't deserve an at-large. Resume wasn't strong enough.

RPI of 44. Beat Kent, Akron and Miami (37th in RPI) and lost to Ohio three times by a razor's edge...they deserved a look. I'm probably overstating their case, but TOS shouldn't have been dismissive of them or Miami that season. If there's one unifying trait of great coaches I've found it's that they're always willing to lavish praise on their conference mates. Doing anything else just diminishes the accomplishments of your own team when you beat them. When TOS said Ohio was the only one who deserved to be in the dance, he was saying Ohio's three wins over Buffalo weren't all that impressive.

I thought all three Ohio-UB games were incredible in 2005. I don't think any team Ohio has seen in the last decade (aside from Kansas in that drubbing Ohio took in K.C.) has played as well as that Buffalo team did that night in Cleveland for two-thirds of it. UNC certainly didn't in the Sweet 16. Michigan didn't in the opener of the dance. Maybe Tennessee from that round of 32.

It could be nostalgia, but I thought the MAC really was as close as it had been to the high water mark of the 1990s as it has gotten in 2005. Miami, UB, Akron, Kent, OU were all legit teams. At that point Wally wasn't that far back in the rearview mirror. It seemed like MAC basketball could get where the MVC is now. I thought that dream kind of died in 2005 when the conference didn't get an at-large.

Great stuff Brian as usual
