College Hoops Primer

Philly.com with 50 little college hoops nuggets to get you ready for the season.

Dick Majerus not very high on his Billikens:

15. Saint Louis coach Rick Majerus, on his revamped roster that includes nine freshmen: "They're going to get shellacked. There's a train wreck coming. It's inevitable."

16. The Billikens will open the 10,500-seat Chaifetz Arena which, this season at least, can be dubbed The Playpen. "It's going to be a bloodletting," Majerus continued lamenting. "They have no idea. I understand that, but they don't. They're young."

Ouch.

Comment of the Year

I'm going to go out on a limb and declare that no one will top this comment on Chuckie Hacks in 2008.

This is from frequent commenter Clownshiplollypop, in a discussion with another frequent commenter and good friend of the site Wrigleyville about CC's alleged overuse in games earlier this season:

Point taken as far as CC finishing games that we were way ahead; however, you are forgetting the bullpen factor. When CC comes out we have to take the magic trolly to the land of turds. Similar to my turds, sometimes there is corn, sometimes peanut shells, but typically there is a lack of consistency normally leading to the runs...

Winner, winner, chicken dinner.

Even Wrigleyville, who always has something to say about everything, was rendered speechless by this comment.
