Kansas vs WVU
- Thread starter Big_C_KU
- Start date
Again... you've been that far twice in 23 years.
We've been there twice in the last 3 years.
Sweet 16's mean a lot to a program like UVA.
Ahhhhh, my man. It was, shall we say----Epic. I woke up the next day; Somehow. Read my post(s) and was like...............
They do. We're no blue blood. Playing in the 2nd weekend is fun. We have one Final Four in my lifetime. We've never won the NCAA Tourney.
We're head and shoulders above UVA as a basketball program though. Especially the last 20-25 years.
I'll have some friends come up for the NCAA Tournament and the Nintendo will be out and that's a promise. I think we're tossing in Little League Baseball, Blades of Steel into the mix this year. The Tecmo Super Bowl tournament is where the action will be though. We literally have to make specialized rules especially on the defense where you can select a defender to sack the QB in like a 1/2 a second......get rid of the shortcut sack. By about week 9 or 10 we're either too drunk or tired to follow all the rules so some rules go out the window in more of an implied agreement.
There’s like 5 different conversations going on ITT. So entertaining. Lol
WVU is 29-28 in 28 NCAA appearances with 2 Final Fours.
UVA is 29-21 in 21 NCAA appearances with 2 Final Fours.
So we have the same number of wins in 8 fewer appearances. Again, you should look up "head and shoulders above" in the dictionary.
There's your mic drop bruh
@IUfanBorden drunken rant is the stuff unicorn tears and fairy dust is made of. It’s place in history is undeniable. I love the dude, and it’s my duty to never let him live it down.
JFC dude, it was a joke. Calm. Down. You aren't even arguing my point anyway.
The PDF copy of the rule book on the NCAA website has no periods or semi colons in the rule I referenced. They also start a new line with each bullet point. It reads as individual sentences not a running list. Thats what I'm talking about re: using periods. I've concluded in the previous post that the rulebook is poorly written which likely isn't a reflection of you unless you wrote it. I also DGAF how many meetings you've sat in. I'm not arguing whether I know more than you. I'm telling you how the book reads based on how it's written. Punctuation matters mane. It changes the meaning of sentences (i.e. Let's eat Grandpa. vs. Lets eat, Grandpa).
I love Huggy. As soon as I saw the official blow his whistle, after KU had scored----I knew. Told the wife---"He's gonna get ran".
Sure enough.
Loved it. One of my favorite coaches ever.
Best Huggy story:
Was calling a game, and made a call. Not good according to him. Asked me---"Son( I was new), you have a degree, or know a trade"? Ummmm.........No. Why? "Well you're gonna need one if you keep making shit calls like that one......"
Great, great dude.
I know what I've been old enough to pay attention to the last couple decades....
WVU: 1 Final Four, 2 Elite 8's, 7 Sweet 16's
UVA: 0 Final Fours, 1 Elite 8, 2 Sweet 16's.
Mic drop...
It happened about 4-5 years ago. Borden was fairly new here and I guess he got tired of people generally not believing Indiana was very good or very interesting. Then one night he got drunk and unleashed on us with a wall of text a mile long all about Indiana and how we were all wrong. It was fantastic. If it had happened before the board changed it would still get bumped regularly for giggles.
Since 2005 we have a Final Four, 2 elite 8's and 6 sweet 16's...
We sucked before that. I moved it back to 20 years just to make you feel better.
We have as many 2nd weekend appearances the last 3 years as you do the last 23 years.

Ahhhh, the shit that legends are made of.................
I have that too. RBI Baseball 2 isn't bad since you can actually work the switch hitter angle. The simplicity of the throwback systems is spectacular!
Duuuuuuude. Skinny player version, or fat? I loved them both. Man are you guys bringing back some memories....Late night, to early morning battles with my cousin. Eating 3 boxes of ****ing Coca-puffs. Damn. THose were the days.
I did take a hiatus from posting for a few years...probably like 2009-2013 or so. But now that I think about it, I do remember a thread that was ridiculously long and kept getting bumped. I just never bothered to check it out.
With RBI 1 there were a few tricks as well. Particularly against the computer player.
Borden I'm just about ready to sit down and play Tecmo Super Bowl in a few minutes. I've got the Raiders on the AFC side and the Redskins on the NFC side. Nothing beats Bo Jackson on a toss sweep. You can run that same play 50 times in a row and he goes untouched for a TD every time.
Yeah, using Bo was unfair. And the a.i. back then wasn’t sophisticated enough to realize you’ve ran the same play 50 times.
Every WVU vs KU thread gets 10+ pages on here.
Nothing else in the big 12 comes close. Some game threads don't get 10 posts.
At least we have that going for us... people seem to care about these games that we give away.

Wasn’t that an old Atari simulator where you made decisions based on stats and the games were simulated??
I'm too drunk to read through these posts... but I know you guys are talking old nintendo games.
Tecmo Super Bowl.... Bruce Smith for the Bills and Rod Woodson for the Steelers were fvcking animals.
There was a Baseball Stars for the NES. It was pretty neat. It kept up with your batting averages and stuff like that for your own personal team.
What pissed me off about Tecmo Bowl is with the way Bo run, the game stops count on rushing yards at about 4,095 yards. I'd make that by between weeks 10 and 13.
I'm a Washington Redskins fan in real life and on the Redskins defense on Nintendo isn't that bad. Offensively Mark Rypien throws a freaking rainbow where Skittles are falling out of it but the guy is damn accurate. If you want a team with a nasty throwing offense get the Houston Oilers. Warren Moon throws lazers all game.
Never mind... I thought he wrote “baseball stats”. So the only thing that came to mind was this simulator game Atari made. You just make off season decisions and in season decisions and the computer simulated everything else. It was a lot like fantasy baseball really, but you’re badically making managerial decisions for a real/fake team.
Baseball stars though, yes that was fun.
That’s because you have two of the best coaches in the country, who respect the hell out of each other, straight up go at it for 40 minutes. There’s Kansas and WVU, then there’s everyone else.
I’ve played and beat them all except for Majora’s Mask and the most recent one. Not counting handhelds. Anyway this retro thing is getting outta control. I could stay at it all night but gotta check out. I promised my daughter I’d take her fishing tomorrow if it’s warm enough. Gotta get some sleep. She will literally pull my eyelids back to wake me up..
I'm drunk and should have posted this 2 hours ago, but...
It's a helpless feeling to be up 12 with 9 minutes to go and be 100% sure that you are going to lose the game.
I'm ready for football season. Can't wait for WVU to climb into the top 10/playoff discussion in November, Will Grier be the front runner for the Heisman, and then fall flat on our face and finish 9-4.
It's what we do.

You guys are CLEARLY the much better program. It's not even remotely close. But it's becoming a fun conference rivalry.
Two great coaches. Two good teams. And two passionate fanbases.
I consider you our biggest “rival” in the Big 12. It’s a respectful rivalry though. Nowhere near the levels of hatred I had for our former POS rival in Columbia. Kstate is certainly no rival. Until we start losing to them consistently (see games played in morgantown as example “a”), they’ll never be a true rival. Baylor is always gonna Scott Drew, Young will be out of Norman this time next year, Texas Tech is good, but nowhere near our rival.l, blah blah blah. The only constant is WVU. Historically we may be the better program, but WVU can play with anyone, and I’d take Huggy over any coach not named Self, K, Williams or Cal.
