grrr, another 1 game loss. 6-5. but i guess in the long run, the challenge doesn't mean that much being so early in the season. just a good way to get your teams toughened up. we'll see what happens in march :)

I'm very upset that I needed Duke to win to keep the conference pride. It pained me to have to kind of root for them lol. And I was very satisfied with the UNC game considering what they lost. If it wasn't for the darn 3 pointer (or numerous turnovers in crunch time lol) I think they could've pulled that out. Good challenge this year. Most of the games were close and exciting.

How 'bout the Heels? :D :D

good game so far. i guess we're gonna see unc in the rankings pretty soon.

Actually I hope they don't get too high. I'd rather remain underestimated than over. Flying under the radar a bit is always better. NEXT year is going to be our year to be back in the big time. Williams has already recruited what many consider the best 2006 class.

I didnt get a chance to talk about my boys because I was at my schools football game yesterday. Go Apps baby!

How about the Devil Blue massacring Texas? I wish I could have seen the game. After the way they played against Indiana and VT I was expecting a loss, but when my dad got the score for me and told me the score, I was like hot damn.

:D Haha that Duke game was great, Redick just shot the lights out...and I think Texas was a bit overwhelmed. I think they might have been reading too many papers that said Duke was going to have a really hard timeor get beat and they expected the game to be almost easy..... well it was, just not for Texas :whistle:

Wow, not a lot of activity in here lately.

Anyway, what did everyone think of the #4 Memphis against #8 Gonzaga game? I think Gonzaga is overrated in their poll rankings.

Probably won't be a flurry of posting until the tourney.

I liked Gonzaga more when they were underdogs. I'm surprised Morrison disappeared for the final ten minutes of that game.

When Memphis put a freshman on Morrison, I figured he'd excel. So much for that. The 6'9" shut him down! I think that just goes to prove the Morrison hype on ESPN is far too early.

Florida is still flying under the radar. #5 in the nation and very little press. I like it like that. It means there will be no ego issues going into the SEC season. It is actually possible they could go undefeated this year.

Of course they could. They only play 1 ranked opponent (as of now) all year.

Thats a low shot since you should know that the SEC season is one of the toughest. UF's real test starts in a couple of weeks. I have never seen anyone complain about Florida's strength of schedule.

And we have played 2 ranked teams, both of which we beat. It doesn't mean they are both ranked now, but they sure were when we played them.

Don't misunderstand me, I'm not downplaying Florida. I realize they're a great team, I'm just pointing out that they do have a shot to run the table because they only play one more ranked opponent.

Woot! UConn lost to Marquette with Steve Novak's 41 pt. performance against the #2 ranked team in the country. I'd also like to take this opportunity to thank Texas for knocking off Memphis. #2 and #4 are moving down, and the Illini are moving up!

    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original

      Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.

      Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.
