Both Games This Weekend on Comcast 37

Hey guys would someone explain to me in Layman's terms why Direct-TV is not able to get the PU-USD game tonight? What the fu@k? 'How come I could get Comcast before. Who wants to watch Pepperdine vrs St. Mary's game over PU's vrs San Diego game on the West Coast.

Ok, OK I am going to let it all hang out. Samhan is somewhat overated, he looked like he was wearing concrete boots against the Zag's in the Kennel. I is my opinion Simpson has not improved his game one bit since his Sophmore year,there should'nt be as big of void in their lineup next year when he's gone as I imagined.The only two that are interesting to watch are Mickey McConnel and Wayne Hunter as their improving. Sorry Freak,MJ,.... just had to get it out, I alway's cheer for the Gaels against the Zag's and other's. Not this game when I have to watch the 3rd place team at home against the 8th place team that UP smoked by 30, when I would like to be watching the 2nd place team in action in what should be a much more competive game.

This from a guy who has watched in person or TV almost every game Mickey McConnell has played since the 6th grade. I feel better, the Gaels are just so predictible without Mill's its like the old days watching 6 on 6 (3 on each side)half-court womens HS ball in the Midwest watching Oleary , and Hughes miss 3 ptr's perpetually. OH I FEEL BETTER NOW.PLEASE Patty Mills hurry back soon if I have to be tortured tonight to watch them destroy Pepperdine in that Gym that's smaller than McConnell's HS gym (at least the lighting's better this yr).

Oh well I still thing the Gael's are a great team with Mill's, and Randy Bennet (sp) is an excellent coach. I feel bad for St.Mary's as some of the "Negative Nancy's" tried to throw THE COACH under the bus during the short losing streak. If Portland fan's had done that to Rev. he would have been gone at the end of his 2nd yr. It would'nt have been to the Stanford Job either!!! Just giving my small "critique's " of some of the annoited "Gods "on the Gaels. Oh, I better go take a Valium or Xannex and calm down . Go Portland first, I still want the Gaels to win in preparation of pounding Gonzaga in Tourney.. Anybody that beat's Gonzaga in the WCC tourney this yr is OK in my book.IT WOULD BE GREAT TO FACE THE GAEL'S IN THE WCC CHAMPIONSHIP. 2ND PLACE WOULD BE...being able to watch Portland's offense tonight, then a at a small HS gym. If they interview Mill's one more time during the game or at half I'm going to JUMP INTO THE GRAND CANYON after I pull my hair out. .

Mindless dribble make's me feel better, oh well its off to listen to "Got it's" from Tom when Jarred or TJ nail one tonight.




@I guess I should have posted this on the Gael's site, but maybe some of you guy's can relate. OH, if I wasn't 1100+ miles away I might be headed for the T-Room.

This is why I love having MesaPilot1 on the board.

He's like our own badass, cantankerous, pilot frenzied version of Andy Rooney... Pretty much makes my day every time he unleashes on whom/whatever...

Dude, you just used about 12 icons in one post. Is that a PN record?!! I appreciate your frustration. Direct TV is bleep.

FANatic can use 12 icons in the preamble to one of his missives.

Apparently Mesa hasn't figured out the colored text feature yet.

(Reason for editing : no particular reason,I DISLIKE GONZAGA.Jeremy Pargo for least improved player of year in WCC

Dare I say best reason for editing... EVER??

But yeah, FAN operates on a completely different realm when it comes to icons... Not to mention the usage of bold letters, different colors and fonts... Soccer needs to start up again so we can behold some of his aesthetic wonders...

Well, it basically boils down to this. Paul Allen owns CSNNW and wants to make money selling Blazer Games to DirectTV.

The satellite companies don't want to pay what he wants, so he's holding the rest of his network, which includes UP games, hostage.

The negotiations are currently in this stage

At least you don't have Dish Network in Portland or Seattle... Haha those people haven't had ABC since mid december... Then again the CSN saga has been going on for a year and a half... Oh to be a billionaire....

A frustrated secret admirer of Paul Allen's. Not to change the subject ,but when computer/new money/? money guys like him and Mark Cuban hit the Lottery they don't know what to do with it so they buy a Pro sports team. Turn it into their personal little X-box or Wii then Make a Jack-Ass out of themselve's. Then bleed the heck out of their other investments,because they have no clue how to run a sport's team. The Mav's would have sucked without Don Nelson so don't even go there with Cuban. The owner who traded 2-time MVP Nash,


Enough of Negative MesaPilot ,



JUST WIN BABY! ONE FOR THE MESA! GO PILOT BASKETBALL! BEAT THE TORREOS

Phew, the coverage started! I was worried the rollerderby would go into overtime... it was such a close match (or is it game? series? set of laps?)

Feel free to drop by the Pilot Nation ChatBox! click on "home" and then scroll to the bottom of the page...

GO PILOTS!

Haha...so if SoundersFC is the X-Box...I guess the Seahawks or Blazers would be the Wii.
