    I Love UConn Basketball and I love Pearl Jam. My 2 passions. Worlds colliding and I love it.

    Love that JMU's coach is a huge PJ fan, and that Jeff hates the ACC!  
    What does it even mean to hate a conference anymore? Just wait a year and the conference will have different teams in it.
    I gather speed from you fucking with me.

    Sounds like more snippets from the album will be used throughout the tournament.
    I look forward to more 11 page threads reviewing 20 seconds of a new song with Bill Raftery screaming over it

    It means he hates North Carolina and Duke like every red blooded American

    I'm a little worried that he says they still have to learn the songs for the tour, and that Ed wrote most of the lyrics on the spot. That's a recipe for some shambolic performances of these songs unless they have a lot of practice time on the calendar, which they're not exactly famous for.
    Those of us on Leg 3 sitting pretty

    As a decent human being, I hate Duke, which means that I have to be O.K. with it when North Carolina does well because it makes Duke people unhappy, and that's always the most just outcome.

    There’s nothing more awkward than when a fan interviews an artist.

    Yeah it felt a little like he was trying to show off his knowledge at times.

    I thought it was much less awkward than when Bill Simmons interviews them. At least this guy seemed like he was very familiar with their whole catalog.

    No doubt. I’d rather have people know their shit, but also, try not to make it veer too closely to the Chris Farley show too. Generally the interview was very good. It’s just always a bit cringe when people try to express their fan bonafides rather than making it evident in the questioning. 

    But I also get it, interviewing an idol has got be nerve wracking

    I think they're going to play clips of songs from the album during the tournament.

    And Pitt, and VT, and UVA, and Syracuse, and Miami, and FSU, and the rest of the ACC.  The ACC deserves to fall apart after they tore up the old Big East.

    Fair point! Haha.  That being written, fuck any school that is, was, or will be in the ACC.

    Speaking on behalf of Syracuse fans, we are just as upset about that as you are. Probably more, actually.

    Yes. It was brutal seeing UConn in the wilderness for a decade or whatever.

    Outside of Pitt and VT, I would cheer for any Big East team in non-conference games, especially during March Madness.  Sucks it doesn't exist anymore.

    The Big East still exists though. It’s probably a better top to bottom basketball conference than the ACC at this point actually
