Podcast: The Sendoff

by
Tom Blackburn
March 14, 2017

Another foursome as the Blackburn Review records what could be the last podcast of the season. Sully starts off the cast with a summation of his experience in the Steel City this past weekend. The boys revisit UD’s disheartening loss to Davidson in the quarterfinals of the conference tournament. KT wants to know — who is the goddamn leader of this team? Blackburn gloats a bit as his prediction for the Flyers came true.

Donny wants to talk about everyone’s worst in-person sporting experience. Where did the gentlemen see Dayton getting seeded? Certainly not a seven, they all agree on that. Everyone recounts their initial reaction to the matchup with the Wichita State Shockers on Friday night. Is Wichita a good matchup for the Flyers? It doesn’t appear so. Sully demands to know why everyone is freaking out about Wichita’s supposed under-seeding. Fuck Ken Pom basically.

A quick breakdown, with picks, of the Tournament closes the show. It’s all straight chalk, baby. Donny brings up a Hot or Not, no one is excited. A quick send-off leads to the Yacht Rock (Orleans-Dance With Me).

is anyone else getting tired of the Media Industrial Complex (MIC) constantly whining about Wichita State getting a 10 seed!!!. According to their non-stop garble maybe the Flyers should just stay in Dayton and play an intrasquad scrimmage at the Fieldhouse rather than make a trip to Indy just to lose to the Shocking 10 Seed Shockers

  Looking forward to seeing how Illinois State handles it’s first non-MVC opponent since December. Anything other than a blowout will strengthen my resolve.

    Exactly! Just like Richmond beating Alabama last night reaffirms my belief that A10 is on par or better than the SEC. Exception being UK, but maybe we will find out…!

      Except that MVC has few if any good data points. Otherwise, exactly the same thing, bruh!

On UD Pride – “If you could add one UD player from the past 15 years to this roster, who would it be?” After the first 10 answers of Big Steve, and his ghost swatting away shots from falling, the next answer was Kavs. I shit you not. On the subject of Big Steve’s spirit, is it indeed a fact that your spirit is actually a better player than you were as a mortal being? I keep seeing all these mentions of Steve knocking shit away and carrying the team, which isn’t exactly how I remember him.

  There was also a post in the same thread that mentioned we’d be undefeated if we had Steve. I also don’t remember him carrying the team either. Although I remember when Chris Daniels died people were saying he was going to be drafted that year.

Hopefully folks are cheering for Providence tonight. According to a UDPride post we need to make it like a home game for them because it will help us get into the Big East if they see us as supporting the league. I shit you not this was being discussed.

ESPN inc says based on BPI and other computer metrics Wichita State has 72% chance to advance…….why the FFFFFF did the committee seed them 10th playing a team seeded 7th……..Seeds are only good for planting fruit

  Also just heard Big Steve’s ghost is sitting on the gate at the parking garage in Indy, not letting Indiana’s AD pull in.
