Hanlan is just going off

3/14/2013 1:21:38 PM

I want him to outscore Georgia Tech. I think he's about 8 points behind right now.

That stream is not working for me either. Might have to take tomorrow afternoon off if we win and this stream doesn't improve. We have TVs here too but I hate to stay in that room for 2 straight hours

If BC shoots like this tomorrow, Miami is in trouble

3/14/2013 1:41:03 PM

i hope hanlan saves some for miami

"The Atlantic Coast Conference basketball tournament tips off today in Greensboro, and with it comes the usual flood of armchair coaching, Twitter arguments and office betting pools. “Our estimated activity loss per employee averages around 43 percent during ACC Tournament time,” said Rachel Brooks of the North Carolina Department of Employment. “Technological advances have made it easier for people to keep up with the games. Some people are happy with an ear piece connected to a radio, while others want the full experience.” She continued, “Just last year a judge in Forsyth County was caught watching the game on an iPad while he was on the bench. He would’ve gotten away with it if not for the fact that he kept yelling ‘Shoot the 3!’ during a triple homicide trial.” Memos, declarations and ordinances were issued in an attempt to curb the dip in March Madness productivity, but as with most things not connected to money or jail time, the requests fell on deaf ears. “To some — myself included — the ACC Tournament makes the Super Bowl look like an ill-constructed rope bridge,” said Brooks’ assistant, Tim Gutterson. “Even though the inclusion of goofy teams like Boston College and Notre Dame are watering things down a bit, to some people this tournament comes in fourth behind Christmas, Easter and Dale Sr.’s birthday.” Instead of wasting more money trying to overcome human nature, late Wednesday the N.C. House approved House Bill 2-1-2, which authorizes closing the N.C. government and related entities during the ACC tournament. The only state workers unaffected by the 2-1-2 bill would be those identifying themselves as fans of Boston College. “Anyone living in North Carolina who is a Boston College fan will be expected to be at work on Thursday and Friday,” said N.C. Rep. Nathaniel Crawley, L-Thurmond, author of the bill. “People in Boston don’t even pull for Boston College, and we’re not going to put up with it down here either. “For goodness sake, their team mascot is Ted Kennedy’s third liver.” In a poll conducted by The Free Press and The DuMont Network, 100 percent of school children were in favor of the new 2-1-2 bill. Conversely, most parents believe the bill to be a giant pain in the tuchus. “I need that last hour of the ‘Today’ show,” said Natalie Noble, mother of five children between the ages of 5 and 11. “With all the cooking, cleaning and taxi services I provide during the day, I like to sit back with a fruit schnoinkel and enjoy a little Hoda and Kathy Lee. The other day, they were both talking about coming back from vacation with Kovach infections — which is funny but not appropriate for the kids.” Closing down the government for two days so employees can watch 10 men throw a leather ball of air around may sound like a good idea, but it’s the state-run medical facilities that will be hit the hardest. “Doctors and nurses want to see the games just as much as anyone else,” Crawley said. “To protect the state from any potential liability, we’ll be leaving a bottle of aspirin and a container of gauze in each patient’s room during the tournament. As for meals, well, there are well-stocked vending machines on each floor. “Have you ever poured a pack of salted peanuts into a Pepsi? It’s a delight.” As for jails and prisons, inmates will be expected to operate under the honor system while the guards are off enjoying the basketball games. “It’s time for us to find out if our prison rehabilitation programs are really working,” said Crawley, who lives four miles from a penitentiary. “I’ll be taking my family out of the country for a few days, but y’all let me know how it works out.” Jon Dawson’s columns appear every Tuesday and Thursday in The Free Press.

damn, Espn3 has it blacked out for att customers. have to use the shitty acc stream.

3/14/2013 1:44:38 PM

About to put up 40+

3/14/2013 1:48:07 PM

We're not in middle school anymore. And since the ACC has been diluted with BC, Miami, and VTech...the tournament has lost a little bit of luster.

That being said...I watched the first half on my 2nd monitor and drove home at halftime.

I'm done with my work for the week anyways...and I'm my own boss.

3/14/2013 1:49:22 PM

theacc.com's stream is great for me

3/14/2013 1:50:41 PM

http://www.theacc.com/live/

works like a charm... what's the problem guys?

3/14/2013 1:54:58 PM

Just looked and saw that BC is killing GT. I quickly saw this game on in the break room. The reception was terrible, but I though I saw that GT was up 14-0. Or maybe it was BC.

3/14/2013 1:56:17 PM

GT started the game up 15-0. Then they all just went home.

3/14/2013 1:58:57 PM

I just want to say, I think the fatigue thing from playing 4 games is bullshit. That's not the reason a team without a bye has never won. The ACC has basically been Duke/UNC + everyone else since the expansion, and if you're not in the top 4, you're probably a pretty shitty team. Hell, this year a shitty team (UVA) is actually in the top 4.

3/14/2013 1:59:14 PM

hanlan is making anyone who didnt think he deserved ROY look dumb

3/14/2013 1:59:17 PM

GT got hit by the windshield that is BC.

[Edited on March 14, 2013 at 1:59 PM. Reason : pest]

3/14/2013 1:59:20 PM

Um, playing 4 games in 4 days does make you tired. It's a legitimate phenomenon.

3/14/2013 1:59:58 PM

GT was killing BC, but then BC woke up I guess and tied it a few minutes before half time...and just ran away with it in the second

3/14/2013 2:00:01 PM

My stream just died

3/14/2013 2:00:38 PM

Feed finally started working, probably because everyone started dropping off at the end of the game

3/14/2013 2:01:07 PM

So 30 mins till we play?

someone wasn't watching those years we made it to the finals, oftentimes had a lead in the first half and then just looked dead in the second half of the finals.

if you switch it and gave the bottom 4 teams byes then teams with byes would never win.

Debating on driving to Gboro tomorrow. Wonder what I can scalp tickets for. Can you buy them at the gate too?

3/14/2013 10:27:08 PM

based on what i heard on the radio this morning, tickets are gonna be cheaper than the gasoline you put in your car to get there

3/14/2013 10:28:57 PM

You can only scalp. Decent center tickets won't be cheaper than gas but still decent. Saturday is a huge toss up. If game 2 on Saturday is unc vs duke then center tickets will likely be over 100

3/14/2013 10:36:48 PM

I imagine there will still be scalpers with tickets if I get there at around 1:30.

3/14/2013 10:38:37 PM

Yes
