    It's

    Is nobody supposed to celebrate anything but a championship? At the time, it was a big deal and a good accomplishment.

    I guess almost winning something is worth going nuts over. *sizzle

    In the age of rushing the field after beating Stanford, it makes sense.
    A one seed >> rushing the field over wins vs. historic fball also-rans

    It was pretty cool and an impressive accomplishment. It would have been way more impressive had they made the Final 4.
    It only would have been impressive if they made it to the final for...or even 8..instead it proved they were over rated. But at least the students got to got nuts for a few minutes and feel good about something, even though it was a mirage

    Some schools wait years to be a 16 seed and lose their shit when it becomes reality. Damone, would you not celebrate a rose bowl birth?

    Celebrate? I would be glad, but I wouldn't go nuts and shit. I would book tickets to the game and hopefully celebrate a win.

    UW basketball claim to fame on the national stage is they were a number 1 seed once then shit the bed against the first decent team they played in the tournament. Awesome. High five.

    You're right. Winning the Pac 10 championship and earning a #1 seed sucks. Your logic is fucking stupid. So Florida State is the only team to celebrate this year in football because they won the title? In 2000, we shouldn't have celebrated a Rose Bowl win because we didn't win the National Championship?

    I'm with you on this, but that team didn't win the Pac10 championship.

    Yeah, but still

    You can get excited over a #1 seed AND be pissed at the loss to Louisville. Abundance. BTW, they lost to a Louisville team that went 33-5 and made the Final Four. It's not like they lost to a shitty mid major.

    And other schools are national basketball powers..UW isn't now, nor ever has been...and likely will never be. 10 years from now when you want to fire Romars replacement, remember this thread.

    They lost to a better team...because they were over rated and didn't deserve to be a #1.

    Simple fact...case closed..facts checked and verified on snopes.
