If you're like me (or B-dowd), you've got ESPN on an awful lot at home. So much so, in fact, that it's amazing we're still married. (Not to each other, mind you.)But what you learn is what constant themes are drummed into the heads of the SportsCenter anchors and other shows "experts." I can't tell you how many times in the past month or so I've heard that Notre Dame "can't afford another loss," or "This might be the crushing blow..."
Might be? Another loss?
Look, UND's basketball season flatlined somewhere during that abomination of a seven-game losing streak that began in late January. And even if you think it didn't, do you know their record since that streak? 6-4. So in their last 17 games, they went 6-11. Wow, impressive.
I don't care if you even really think the Big East is that good -- after their embarrassing performance against WVU last night, they're an 18-14 team with an 8-10 conference record who deserves not a sniff at the NCAA tourney.
Go wake up the echos, yo. In the NIT.
Have fun, Scott.

This nut-licking spilling over to basketball is sickening. They don't even have a basketball tradition and what is the front page story on the college basketball page at ESPN right now? It's a "Notre Dame is not going to dance and it is a national tragedy" story.
I'd pray for another 3-9 season, but the world would likely end with the panic ESPN would have.
Who is this "Scott" you speak of?
What does it mean when the Big 11 have the #2 RPI ranking? It means shut the *&^*^*%&*^*(%%&%%**!!!! up about the Big Easy, er, Big East.
Notre Dame has a basketball program?
If you think espn coverage is bad now (it is), wait until they win their first round home game against a 15-15 MEAC. It'll be the beginning of the resurgence back to national power status, wait til next year.
