Jul 7, 2008 - I didn't think they could use the video replays in college sports. Professional yes, but when did they start this at the college level? Anyone know?

Jul 7, 2008 - I'm not sure when they did but great job by the officials to make the correct call. Gotta love Cal give the run around and blame for flat out blowing the game last night. Arrogance, obviously still doesn't pay. Good job Tigers, way to come up big in the clutch.

Jul 7, 2008 - wtf is up with all these busch league commentsdude put all the responsibility on himself, HIMSELF. nothing on the players, nothing on anything else, nothing. all the responsibility goes 2 him 4 the loss.u can blame rose, blame the free throws, but this guy put it all on himself. shouldnt this guy garner some respect just 4 this class act?

keirafan001 Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - I agree...a little.I think he was a bit to cocky about his dream team and how free throws would not matter later on in the game. But my Kansas boys fouled the heck out of them and yepp we won by a short miracle.

Jul 7, 2008 - He is a great guy, he really is. I am a Kansas fan and I loved this game, such a hard fought championship. But it is also depressing, to see such a team, such a spectacular team go down the way they did. Calipari is one of the great coaches in NCAA, one of the most colorful, like Self and Pearl. I hope they all win a championship. They all deserve it, especially Calipari.

Jul 7, 2008 - What a douche-bag. Not once during the tournament does he say that Kansas is a great team and that it'll be a tough game. He just goes around talking about how great his Dream Team is, and whining about the call-back. Thank God we won. Rock chalk Jayhawk!

Jul 7, 2008 - I understand that he did not do as much as he should have to sub CDR and Rose but he did his best. He was a bit to arrogant when he stated it was the dream team and that he could win every game. But I think he learned that free throws really do turn the game. He was very classy and I thought he was very mannerly. I respect him as a coach and another lover of basketball

Jul 7, 2008 - wow "PWNEDipari".how long did it take to think of that??And his dream team is a lot better than you give the credit for.

guitarmainiac06 Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - Thank you,I live in Memphis and I am a huge memphis fan.but I dont think that in the last two minutes of regulation and in overtime they played like they deserved it.

Jul 7, 2008 - ..."how long did it take to think of that"A lot less time than it took You to reply with Your gibberish!What does "than you give the credit for" mean anyway?Your wrong about Me not giving Them credit! I give Them credit for one of the, if not the biggest choke jobs in the tournament's history!!!...

guitarmainiac06 Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - Yeah if by "choke job" you mean the best record in ncaa history.What do you have to say about that??

1o0o0o0o0o0o01 Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - ."the best record in ncaa history"ARE YOU SERIOUS????WTH does their record have to dow/Them choking away the (possibly) most important game of their college careers? On National TV no less! Or Do You think They will just waltz back into the final four next year? DREAM ON!!!!!!!THEY CHOKED, GET OVER IT!!! You'll live longer...I'm done with this lame subject............

Jul 7, 2008 - They started using it in college football in 2005, not sure about basketball.

jordaiz Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - Well guys, if your team only lost once in the regular season to the #2 team in the country (Tennessee), you have a right to be cocky. We won the most games ever going into the championship so you can't blame man. Geez!
