Agreed, hs basketball on a major sports network like ESPN is ridiculous. College basketball on TV is great, don't ruin hs atheletes by filling their heads while they are in hs. They should be worried about consentrating on grades, not on whether some major college is going to watch the game or if some famous athlete or person likes the way they play.point/center wrote:I really can't stand seeing Poker, World's strongest man, or tennis and gofl for that matter. But you know what? I really dont' know if it's good for HS sports to have HS basektball on ESPN.
Sure many of these players from Oak Hill Academy will end up on TV, but man---is this really a good thing?
I turned the channel to Fox Sports--Oregon vs Stanford.

I'll give u that, golf is ok to watch, better than the NBA by far. NBA players don't really start playing till the playoffs and then it's debatable.project-pat wrote:point/center wrote:I really can't stand seeing Poker, World's strongest man, or tennis and gofl for that matter.

hey, you can talk bad about all the sports on espn you want, but leave golf out of it. I'd rather sit down and watch the tour championship than watch an NBA game these days. What did golf do to you? and some of those HS teams deserve to be on TV over most pro teams, way more exciting to watch.

i love oak hill playing on tv its my only chance to watch these great matchups like branden and nolan againt derrick wont see that again and it is also a great way for a high school player to see what a big time high school game is like so we know what we are working for
i know whrere your coming from saying the states championships but seriously oak hill is like THE HIGH SCHOOL TEAM of high schools year in and year out its not much different than watching a college game cuz they are almost all gonna play d11337 wrote:No, it certainly is not a good thing. If they want to do it at all, why not just broadcast (even if it has already occured) each of every state's state championship games. Just my two cents.

project-pat wrote:yeah, poker is really exciting when everyone folds b4 the flop. I really get my rocks off when that happens. And have you ever watched a man by the name of Tiger woods? It is exciting to watch him every hole, and all the legends of the game. I dont want to drop names but "Arnold Palmer" and your vijay singhs and your phil mickelsons. Poker is a luck game, you can be good 1 year in the WSOP then get like 2nd to last the next year. yeah chris moneymaker won and i haven't heard about him since. Steve Dannehmin had a pretty off year as well after coming in 2nd. And don't tell me you didnt find it exciting after watching tiger's comeback following the death of his father. That will beat out any poker match you'll ever see. guarantee it.
