Hahahah, ok, this is kind of a joke since I know you all love my UT threads already... but I have had good luck with the Governors this year and both of my parents and my brother went there for college so I figure that since I am home for the week and the OVC Tourny begins tomorrow night here in town I might as well go...

Its a good time even though its a really small college/arena (seats about 9,000, college is around 8,500 I think). Sucks that most of the time only one school from the OVC gets in because Austin Peay almost always wins the regular season but never wins the damn tourny so its rare that they get in the NCAA... we shall see.

I dont even know if this will be on national tv or not, probably SS or ESPN8

Lets Go Peay!

2/27/2007 1:35:54 AM

what? I did. They all went to Austin Peay, I went to UT

2/27/2007 1:44:59 AM

i wonder if anyone else on this board is actually a fan of autsin peay

2/27/2007 2:11:36 AM

2/27/2007 2:16:16 AM

" How Do You Pronounce "Peay?" The word "Peay," as in Austin Peay, is pronounced just like the letter "P" or the waste product "pee". So, now you can cheer "Let's Go Pee!" --http://go.apsu.edu/facts.html "

2/27/2007 2:41:40 AM

exactly

2/27/2007 2:50:29 AM

classic

2/27/2007 3:07:41 AM

not a fan but ive bet on them

I bet only the championship game will be national tv. I hope it's Austin Peay vs. Tennessee Tech

2/27/2007 3:10:13 AM

yeah, probably.

I really hope they can get in the NCAA, they deserve it but it will probably be fucking Murray State they always seem to win the tourny

2/27/2007 3:29:32 AM

Is Autsin-Peay the normal sister school of Autism-Peay?

don't count me out on that...I'd call myself a casual fan just because of the proximity from growing up in nashville...always kept up with them in the paper and now I have quite a few friends who go there..

plus how can you not like the whole "Let's Go Peay" chant....


oh and jaybee, is the tournament actually in clarksville this year?

2/27/2007 7:50:14 AM

Should I make a Quinnipiac hockey thread too? I mean as long as we're doing stupid shit like this...

2/27/2007 11:23:36 AM

my mom got her masters from austin peay

i applied just for the hell of it but really had no intentions of enrolling

2/27/2007 11:36:59 AM

i always loled as a little kid when writing them in on my bracket

2/27/2007 11:40:02 AM

^^^^ just the first round for AP, rest is in Nashville

^^^ no, thats hockey

^^ its actually a decent school for nursing and education but I never wanted to go there, just too small and too close to home

^ exactly.

Trenton Hassell, Bubba Wells, and James "Fly" Williams. haha, thats about it in terms of professional alumnai haha.

ok...because I was planning on going if I get back soon enough Friday and I might also go Saturday so I was just making sure they were at the GEC like I thought

2/27/2007 9:30:26 PM

They got quite a scare tonight against the #8 seed, but it's survive and advance...

2/27/2007 10:40:07 PM

whew... was a great game. Went to overtime against a horrible ass TSU team. I forgot how damn cheap the games were. We were 4 rows up, 4 ticktets and parking for $32 total. Drinks were $2 each, I think total we spent under $40, not bad.

2/28/2007 12:06:52 AM

I was on the road all day, missed most of this, doesnt look like they will pull it out

3/3/2007 9:51:47 PM

damn... that was some NC State shit right there (not using the last timeout)

Crazy ending

3/3/2007 10:01:06 PM

yeah, that has to suck so fucking bad for the small conferences, play your ass off all year, dominate your conference, and it still comes down to one game and "any given day" etc. and you dont even get to the NCAAs

3/3/2007 10:02:39 PM

ANY GIVEN SUNDAYYYYYYY

3/5/2007 2:46:53 AM

^^ schedule good teams ooc, it's always the answer.

3/5/2007 2:51:53 AM

not if you're not that good

3/5/2007 3:15:10 AM

^ then you shouldn't make the dance anyway. it all works itself out.

3/5/2007 3:15:43 AM

sometimes

not always

you either schedule hard, or run up your win tally

(in the case of "mid majors")

3/5/2007 4:04:28 AM

Still think Austin Peay is the best team in the OVC, but nobody's going to miss them in the big dance. If you were to take the top 150 teams in the nation, no OVC team would make the list.

They did play a couple of "major" schools. Illinois beat them by 45. Memphis beat them by 25.

3/5/2007 4:13:45 AM

oh I agree totally, I'm just saying it must suck from their point of view...

3/5/2007 2:37:13 PM

yeah I didn't mean to sound so hateful, I was just trying to point out that "scheduling hard" wouldn't have worked

3/5/2007 3:10:11 PM

NIT Game tonight against Air Force....


I got the Govs +15
