billy-packer Stories - The Daily Gopher
I Miss the Basketball Coverage of Twenty Years Ago
Tar Heel Fan pointed to this clip from the broadcast of the last UNC-Oklahoma tournament game, complete with post-game interviews: What strikes me about the clip, aside from the stellar play from Rick Fox, is the length of time after the game given to Billy Packer to interview Dean Smith and...
Selection Sunday Conversations
Judgment day is upon us. Have Tubby Smith's Golden Gophers done enough to be included in the Field of 65? We'll know early this evening. Use this thread to discuss the day's games, the committee's decisions, bubbles that burst and any match-ups. Most of the experts have the Gophers in between a 10...

Mizzou Links, 7-16-08
I'd say Ian Kinsler acquitted himself decently at yesterday's All-Star marathon, with a hit, a walk, and a stolen base (plus a caught stealing) in six plate appearances, while also taking part in turning two double-plays. (I can't believe they didn't just call another tie in that game, btw.) If...
You Won't Have Billy Packer to Kick Around Anymore
He's been pushed aside after 34 Final Fours, in favor of Clark Kellogg. He's not going the Keith Jackson route and sticking around for Duke-Carolina games, instead going off on an unnamed "fun project." This really isn't the place for Packerschadenfreude, as I've always been fonder of the...

My Best Explanation For What Just Happened
So I've been thinking it over, looking for a reason as to why UNC came out as poorly as they did, only to surge back and then collapse again down the stretch. Sure, you could chalk it up to a superior Kansas defense, their ability to spread the floor on the offensive end, and their talent in...
Liveblogging the Selection Show
Because nothing's more Web 2.0 than realtime writing about people talking. Try not to faint from the excitement. 5:31 pm Except we're waiting on actual excitement, as Georgia tries to screw some bubble team over by winning the SEC championship. On Georgia Tech's floor.
