How dare you question corruption and community support for it. Its a national pastime.

I'm more amazed at how many people follow college basketball over there. You couldn't pay me to watch the nbl, let alone a university game.

I find it kinda funny how people go on and on about how sporty Australia is, when if you look at other countries it really isn't any more sporty than other countries. My school didn't even offer sport in grade 11 and 12. In a lot of countries its compulsorily.
Only if you are a student or administrator at Rutgers. Otherwise it is sadly laughable.
Well, we do like our sports, and we are generally pretty good. But we dont go mental about it and dont screw kids up over it >.>; We are generally more laid back than the yankees. Just look at Abortion, they are still going mental over it.... And healthcare, medicare would cause a civil war over there.
I look forward to the next OT thread about US student debt being at crisis levels.
It is a grinding absurdity that they can piss away so much money just to be the bitch of the NFL and NBA. And how such a mind-bendingly disproportionate amount of a co-educational institution's money can go to predominantly and exclusively male pursuits.

The general impression I get is that the US (or large portions of it) have declared war on science, learning, academia and anything that has remotely contributed to their dominant global position.
No surprise to see they value people who can throw a ball accurately for 40 metres over someone who can understand what the fuck tensors mean. The next century will see countries that value learning improve their position drastically. Countries like India, Vietnam, S. Korea and so on are going to massively contribute to human understanding as well as their own national standing.

Yar. Friends who care about AFL saying sack Voss.
I hope they keep him on for years to come.

I would much rather watch an American University game than the NBL. They are definitely a step above our NBL. Most University students will play almost the equivalent of 3 NBL seasons each year, meaning after 3 or 4 years of college (plus the demanding High School seasons they play) they come out of school far more experienced than most of our professionals.
NCAA finals are a spectacle to be seen. Most years, anyway.
Ahem...

Yeah, college basketball is by far the best of the big college sports, still sucks everyone makes money except the kids playing though.

True, but if they happen to make it into the NBA, that's when the hard work pays off. Minimum salary for a rookie in the NBA is $473000. To potentially sit on the bench.
Having said that, their schedule is killer and their careers short, so whatever money they make in their 10 years has to last them.
I spoke to my brother earlier today and he said they were playing a bunch of Beastie's tracks. No idea how many "a bunch" were but I don't think it was unacknowledged.
Worst thing, the official download of their albums don't seem to work. So, going down the not-so-legal route until I can find something more sanitary and less likely to land me in jail. And physical copies are insanely fucking hard to find, too. I did by Ill Communication though, so that's doing the job
Keep some room for a nerdy tomorrow
Reptile, Gazunta et al: A Beasties track you probably haven't heard before.

From the Shadrach single. They did some awesome remixes, I remember loving Skills To Pay The Bills more than Pass The Mic

Yeah caught last years final, was pretty good.
Free education. Though the salary's some of the head coaches etc are in the millions.
Yeah, hard work and a bit of luck. Just look at Jeremy Lin this year.
Yo Rep, this Monteith's Summer Ale ain't too bad at all. Wouldn't buy a slab of it, but it'd be good on a warm day at a barbie.
And guys... Talkin' 'Bout Yo' Generatio' blows me away with how it manages to stay on air. Any funny brought by Micallef and the dark-haired dude (who's the 30-year old generation guy) are completely negated by Amanda fucking Kellar (world's unfunniest person) and Josh Fuckface. Horribly grating.
Sorry, Shaun.

lol Freo finally take the lead. Already 3/3, would hate to drop a tip to Gold Coast with no Ablett, Bock or Harbrow.
Yeah it is a nice little warmer but I wouldn't be able to drink more than one a night at most. I initially thought the 4 pack would come with a radler that the fiancee could drink but I forgot it comes with 2 apple ciders.
Also Micallef passed his used by date about 5 years ago. Nowhere near his best. Also yes the dude from 7pm Project is pretty good to watch (even though I know 7pm Project seems to get a lot of hate).

Not uncapped. But probably enough. How much data are we talking?
Courier Mail blatantly setting up the Baden Clay husband as the killer.

That paragraph is a fucken disgrace. I don't know if he did it. What I do know is that this is jawdroppingly piss-poor gossip in a wide-circulation paper about a murder case.

Freo don't want it, uncontested mark to out on the full lolol
EDIT: Just as I say that Captain Dependable pulls them out of the fire.
I... honestly don't know. I don't worry about it at home. Live 340p stream for about an hour and a half I'd guess?
the umpires gifted them a goal before....
but every time freo gets ahead the Suns lift again.... fingers crossed >_<
edit: fuck the pigs
Hay guise. Did you know Shadowloo Showdown was this weekend? I remember getting hooked on it HARDCORE last year, basically spending the whole day watching it (despite not really liking fighting games).

Why isn't this game on the TV >_<
Watching on AFL.com.au is actually pretty damn good this year. Must have been a great one man effort by Bennell. Mayne's goal seemed to be from a free kick and 50m penalty too.
