And here come the t-shirt fans...

Because now that KSU is kicking ass in football, there are NONE of those, amirite? ROFL

Your friend has a sub 70 IQ for sure!

Friday November 9th.

#9 Syracuse vs #20 SDSU in San Diego on the aircraft carrier. Definitely the best week 1 matchup.

If the damn NHL cannot get thier shit together I will be following it more then usual.

...

Great matchup.

Don't like whole aircraft carrier though thing.

I guess I am.

Rock Chalkin' it baby. How are we there EVERY year? 24 straight trips to the tourney, 14 final fours, most tournament wins in last 5 years, most championship game appearances in last 10 years, 5 national titles overall, 8 straight conference championships. Come on man! Why? I'll tell you why. Because we're mother f'in' bosses that's why. :)

Gonna be a fun season again.

Top 25 College Basketball games before 12/25

The college basketball season gets underway Friday. (I'm sure you've heard.) And this really might be the most interesting opening day we've had in a while, considering 10 of the nation's top 11 teams will be in action, thanks to a slate of games highlighted by the reigning national champs in Brooklyn and two national title-winning coaches working against each other on an aircraft carrier.

But it doesn't stop there. Next Tuesday night is also big. The week of Thanksgiving will be too. So what I've decided to do is provide a document you can print out, tape up and look at whenever you're wondering when the next big game will be played.

Seriously, just print this out.

Let's call it Top 25 before 12/25.

That means this list will get us through Christmas.

We'll just figure out the rest after Santa Claus comes and goes.

NOTE: This list only includes scheduled games, meaning it doesn't include possible second- or third-round matchups in early season tournaments. Put another way, I realize the title game of the Battle for Atlantis will be terrific regardless of who plays. But we don't know who will play. So that game between undetermined opponents isn't listed. And so on and so forth.
