For me, about four days. (Very frustrating. Maybe it's because, I grew up in the Bronx, but I never understood what people saw in watching cars repeatedly going around in circles.)
And their fans would say, "I never understood what people saw in watching people run back and forth trying to but a ball in a hoop"
There is a ton of physical ability in Nascar. Is it as much as basketball? Probably not. But the drivers are still athletes, even if you dont understand it want to believe it.
Making Plays" post=423448 said:Why in the world did CMA start Toro knowing what's at stake? If he wanted to do that, let me him start to get his name called then sacrife a foul or a timeout and get your normal rotation in. That completely threw everything off, Toro cannot play at this level, it's 4v5, all he did was pick-up a foul and take a horrible shot. If they lose this, this is on CMA, this is not what you do when your team is playing for their life.
I could see if the kid was here for four years but as a grad transfer and considering what's at stake I don't get it.

Probably not the best time to try and convince a bunch of angry basketball fans
of the positive attributes of auto racing
Wasn't that, they started the game 4v5 playing against a team fighting for their tournament life. Toro has put up walk-on numbers this year, there's absoultey no way in the world he should have played the first 3 minutes in a game of this magnitude, especially when they are already down their 2nd best player. Everyone know's I'm a CMA fan, but my goodness that was an absoultely horrible decision.Amaseinyourface" post=423462 said:Senior Fright
