Casual Hoya

I think Depaul begins a run of destiny today.

And I am really going to enjoy taking this many points on a Tuesday: DEPUAL +6.5

One year ago today

The S&P was at it’s all time low, Georgetown lost for the 2nd time in a week to St. Johns, and I was in the middle of not sleeping for 48 straight hours because of work.

Things are much better this year.

My response

My response

My eyes

This is going to hurt them. Fortunately, I have a casual multi-screen setup in my office!

i wonder what the attendance is at MSG right now

tuesday at noon with 2 CUSA schools.

o/u 5K?

remember last year

Depaul beating Cincy?

How many were there then?

The DePaul Blue Demons have scored the first basket of the 2010 Big East Tournament

USF is gonna win by 20

8-6 USF w 14 to go in 1st

14-6 usf w 12

dominique heating up

He's really good

I don’t like it

Some really good shooting going on here

Chris Haines - March 9, 2010 reply

Foul on Jones

He sucks

jones

27 points/game vs ranked opponents

ridiculous. luckily, georgetown is close to being not being ranked

19-9 usf w 7

Depaul starting hot

4-19

poor f**ker

The D-bag USF fan in crowd that ESPN just put on national tv. That dude sprang for tix at the garden just to see Dom Jones get his. I have to assume that USF brought contingent of fans no larger than 150.

150 is a stretch

id say 15.

what do USF student do on spring break that they dont do every thursday-saturday?

Depaul worst team in country

And it’s not even close

Chris Haines - March 9, 2010 reply

How did Marquette lose to them?

And Syracuse only win by 2?

Query

Does Stan Heath pay for his own meals at Bern’s? 2-1 that he has to reach deep into the pockets after ordering a casual Delmonico with Bearnaise and asparagus.

pretty sure those tabs are expensed and/or 'picked up'

26-11 w 4

well this game is over

depaul is really bad at basketball

Pathetic

Scoring less than 10 points during the first 15 mins of play in the Big East Tournament should be grounds for automatic dismissal from the Conference

and shooting 20%

and being from the Midwest

uhhh

that sounds like Hoyas first half against the Johhnies last year

Yes, thought the same thing

the most entertaining part of this game

is the freecreditreport.com commercial

catchy tune.

30-13 w 2

Was the Jeff Green mention necessary?

Come on man

ouch

that game was :(

this game is the reason why the 16 team BET SUCKS

dilutes the tourney.

go back to 12 and Wed-Sat.

make the season worth something

Agreed

I still hate you

Agree completely

And thought the very same thing while watching

Chris Haines - March 9, 2010 reply

30-15 at the half

http://www.casualhoya.com/2010/3/3/1335531/we-are-never-going-to-get-work

Watch a better game...

I posted this before, not sure if everyone/anyone saw:

i watched a SICK clip of PE Jr. getting Jeff Green backdoor vs UNC… good times

Yeah I own that on DVD

Wonderful

mmhmm

I have that game, the (first) Duke Game, last year’s Memphis game (win in OT), the 2007 BET game v. ND, and the 84 championship DVD

moving on

time to focus on a mock fantasy baseball draft . . . empty garden + 2 D-III programs fighting for the right to be bulldog bait = RWN2 looking to waste time on other pursuits

fantasy baseball sucks

foolishness

keep quiet, twerp . . . your betters are blogging

You don't know jack

Fantasy baseball, and baseball in general, is for suckers

take a met

they are quality, healthy, players

fighting words

no seriously

gary matthews jr will be awesome this time around

needs the juice to make those sick catches in center

Take Griffey

Or maybe Barry Bonds

Jason Bay

and then run screaming in the opposite direction . . . M-E-T-S suck, suck, suck

MEJIA

If USF beats us tomorrow

What seed do we get?

c'mon!!!!!

you are effing with our karma . . . positive vibes!!!

lets take a vote for jgd to go on mute

Seconded

HoyaParanoia85 - March 9, 2010 reply

I think 6 seed

What do you guys think?!?!?!

In San Jose

no way!

i didnt know that bull was in new york!

thanks espn!

What seed will we get

If we win the Big East Tournament?

considering who we'd have to beat...a good one

Halftime

This game’s a real barn-burner.

WarmupEwing - March 9, 2010 reply

This blog is way weirder

Now that I can put names to faces

quick aside

A dude I work with is a Gonzaga High grad . . . DeMatha crushed Gonzaga in the Catholic School league championship last night . . . this is only noteworthy because he sat next to Freeman, Clark, and Monroe who all took in the game . . . glad they were watching high schoolers play rather than hitting the books, or the weight room, or watching tape of Dom Jones, or PRACTICING FREE THROWS!!!!

Even if we win tmw, the Cuse beats us by 20 on Thursday. . .

where was the game played?

they were on their way up to ny last night judging by the amount of tweets they had

AU's Bender arena

it hosts all of the games b/c it is the only decent on-campus arena in DC

good arena

watched some crap hs all-star game there when we were going after jamal olasewere last year

DC city title game

will be on Sunday afternoon . . . DeMatha v. Ballou . . . expect to see Freeman there fresh as can be as he will have Fri and Sat nights off

RIP Notorious BIG... 13 years ago today

Top 5 rappers:

5. Eminem
4. Andre 3000
3. Tupac
2. Biggie
1. Jay-Z

Kool Moe Dee

needs to be added to this list . . . probably at 4

Probably could substitute Dr. Dre at 4 too

Will Smith is #1

anyone who says otherwise doesnt know anything about rap

also, I went to elementary and middle school with . . .

Andre 3000 . . . true story . . . good kid . . . kind of a tough dude back then . . . money has mellowed him out

That's awesome

No Big Boi though?

Big Boi is from Savannah

and moved to ATL for high school . . . Big and Dre met at a high school named Tri-Cities . . . it is where all of the kids who weren’t smart enough to get into a city magnet school matriculated . . .

Got it

Good info, will include it in my raps

Biggie > Jay Z

and how does Nas not make that list?

from ny times:

The basketball rims at Madison Square Garden have changed since last year. That’s because the N.B.A. wanted its rims to be "softer," in order to have higher-scoring games and better shooting. So if you’ve been wondering why there have been more friendly bounces in the N.B.A. this season, that’s why.

Addition by subtraction for Nova.

Taylor King

remember that time depaul almost because syracuse

2nd half has started!

gruesome face plant

that will leave a mark, loarlyn

Second Team All America by Yahoo!

Greg Monroe

Depaul on a run

Cut lead to 13

awful lot of airballs in this game

i am hearing that the coach of UTEP has a shot at the depaul job

What about ESHERICK!

remember when esherick went out for the top spot at new mexico state and got team by reggie theus, the coach from hang time?

let me try that again in english

remember when esherick went out for the top spot at new mexico state and got BEAT by reggie theus, the coach from hang time?

Didn't he end up coaching in NBA?

yes he was more than the coach of hangtime

also played 15 years in nba

theus

he’s being floated as possibility at hawaii

Pretty crazy career track

New Mexico State, Sacramento Kings, Hawaii.

He is the college basketball equivalent of June Jones

what about julius jones?

Depaul unstoppable

Down 12

Mac Koshwal

Not great at free throws

Combined 0-17 from downtown

You’d see better shooting at a carnival.

KingSpeedy - March 9, 2010 reply

Depaul cannot be stopped, only hope to contain

Down 11

34-26!

May rush to the Garden to see this masterpiece in person

34-28!

if georgeotwn loses to either of these teams tomorrow

ill eat my hat (always wanted to say that)

South Florida has scored 4 points in 7 minutes

Projects to 34 points in a game.

I lied

23 points in a game

good at math . . .

glad that you are in finance . . . no wonder Wall Street hit the skids in the last couple of years

That was hurtful

do you think that during the casting call for 'the blind side'

that the kid who played BIGGIE in the movie was considered for the role of Big Mike?

Has to be

total amount of words spoken by that character

Over or Under 50 in the entire movie.

is depaul in the beginning of their historic run to the BE championship right now?

nah

Georgetown practicing at NYU gym right now

From a friend who goes to NYU Law

are you changing your plans now?

instead of rushing over to MSG, you are running to NYU

Will try to get a Dougherty autograph

NYU Law probably not as Casual as Tulane Law

just my two cents

blair waldorf goes to NYU

And Dan Humphrey

And all of the 2009 graduating class from Gossip Girl

not serena

Nor Chuck

Chuck, Serena, Eric, Dan and Jenny are all part of the same family.

http://popwatch.ew.com/2009/09/22/gossip-girl-nyu-is-no-place-for-headbands/

Send them some headbands

true dat

pardon the offensive language

but this game is like watching two retards trying to hump a doorknob.

Do normal people humb doorknobs differently?

WarmupEwing - March 9, 2010 reply

maybe?

CasualHoya is special

Just a heads up

your mom thinks so

Don't know why she has to be brought into this

JeffGreen'sGrandmother?

lordnick - March 9, 2010 reply

Just a sweet woman

this blog is way more entertaining

when our heroes are not playing. Lack of angst must free up the creative juices. And the zingers.

tourney time is going to be a disaster...

Come March 21

We will have plenty of time to pontificate on other teams

while the economy

IMPLODES

DePaul coach looks like

someone took the last donut . . . and that there will be hell to pay

DEPAUL SUCKS AGAIN

Down 11

So....

Stout tomorrow at 11AM…. is that the gameplan?

yup for those new yorkers going to game

we’ll have an extra special pregame on thursday, private room

we better win tomorrow, dammit

headbands will be available?

still need to get one!

there will only be a couple

i have most of them in dc. if we make it to friday… you’ll certainly get one. coming up for that.

maybe some the ladies at good guys still have some extras

sounds good...

thanks..

which pro does dominique jones remind you of?

A little bit of Russell Westbrook

latrell sprewell...

chucker with an attitude

not as tall though I suppose

i was thinking mitch richmond

good comp...

that one dude on usf isn't wearing a casual headband

that would be illegal!

Late flight from New Orleans to NYC tonight

Worth it to see Dominique Jones play?

pswib - March 9, 2010 reply

worth it to cheer on your hoyas

and make sure every player on the court knows u appreciate their efforts, win or lose.

we are all hoyas!

rah rah go team go

BANNED

lordnick - March 9, 2010 reply

dominique

is very good

lit us up in second half.

depaul really blowing it

should pregame tomorrow...

at Ricks Cabaret…. just a few blocks from Stout.. perhaps we’ll save that for Thursday’s post-game celebration…

why not just go to rick's and watch game from there?

makes a lot of sense

Good point....

Cheaper beers in the Garden? That’s the only reason I can think of….

Casual Headbands

I will have a select few headbands to give out before the game tomorrow @Stout.

Apparently, I am the official blog representative. I really don’t like stout and I can’t see that I am thrilled about getting the call here.

If you weren’t in DC last Saturday, I am a tall goofy dude that will be wearing a CH Headband

(sounds ALOT like itsallthatmatters)

Stout has excellent sweet potato fries

I appreciated hearing the tale

of why Jahidi likes his pies. What little I remember of it, anyway.

you

definitely got the worst of my rambling, non-coherent stories.

I, uh, apologize?

Yeah, don't apologize to me

then it's a great thing

that I have very limited recollection of the final, oh, quarter of the day. You can repeat the tales sometime, and they will still be new to me!

The magic of beer.

54-44 2

Line still in play

we have a Will Walker sighting

hits 2 threes… Depaul down 10

I CALLED THE UNDER- DOCUMENTED WINNER

Takin' the Points - March 9, 2010 reply

1st time for everything

predicted spread for tomorrow?

Gtown by 5.5?

hopefully less

I want everything about this game to completely enrage our team so that we just f*cking smash these guys.

will walker...

is on fire

bring on the bulls

hoyas by 6.5 tomorrow

...and take the points

o/u of 300

ST. JOHN'S - UCONN THREAD
