The Goat Pen

welp, now all the old school TPG regulars have gotten to see their team win a national title.

except for the"talent." and jonquil the dauphin (or was he a michigan state fan?). and ding/mook. and mecca. and CAT.

but mostly, TGP = winnah.

it's goat karma, baby...

congrats to UK and its long-suffering hillfolk fans. 14 years is a bit of a spell to go without a title. this was a great team and fun to watch. didn't know if Cal would ever be able to find a freshman-laden squad so disciplined and able to mesh together but he did it. the good news is that he's got to keep doing it every year. would hate to see this team stay together.

Mr. Keightly has to be smiling right 'bout now.

my son was born in April of 1998.

He was with me tonight watching the game.

did you make him fetch beers in the first half?

so Teague is the younger brother of former Wake Forest star Jeff Teague?

I was going to make him run laps if we lost

No it's not! Haven't you been reading my posts???

did anybody else laugh their asses off whenever Davis talked?

in modern terms, it is. Carolina's only gone 12 years without since winning in '82

"so Teague is the younger brother of former Wake Forest star Jeff Teague?"

And you call yourself a sports writer? Shame!

I don't write about college hoops anymore, other than Barton

ucla's now gone 17 years and counting...

kansas went 2o years after Danny M...

I feel for those Kansas kids. Watching the post game presser, they are all good kids - don't talk shit , play hard, good attitudes.

I guess there had to be one year that shook things up...

Darius Miller was Mr. Basketball, Won a State Title, Went to the N.I.T. as a freshman and has a national championship.

Here is a picture of him with Tony Delk as a kid

that goofy string of white boys on the UK bench at the end reminded me of the ones UNC had a couple of years ago

fucking Vargas.
