i don't wear orange shirts a lot. There is a navy one i'm thinking about.*
Posted by AceFrehley

May sound odd, but I feel too old for most orange*

Shoot me if I ever get that old. I'm wearin' orange today*
Posted by OskeeWowWowDig
|
Orange hat, okay. Like an orange sweatshirt?? Hmmm...
Posted by osklister

I like our official Pantone blue*

|
Ace has been thinking about that Navy one a LOT.
Posted by osklister
|
Same. I like to wear my t-shirts under a lot of different things.

the intangibles are the reason i slightly favor uconn.

As long as we’re not up by 21 in the first half I like our chances. *

Hope this is false: nobody on our next FF team has been born yet*
Posted by Potomac
|
This, combined with my own distance from my date of birth... *
Posted by osklister

Our when we return I will be too out of it to notice*
Posted by Potomac
|
That's a fear for me too.

I figure probability of football FF in 25 years is approximately zero*

I will "settle" for a Rose Bowl win. Hopefully over a Pac-10 opponent.

I would rather lose to UConn than make it to the finals only to lose to scUM.*
Posted by Lexillini The welfare of humanity is always the alibi of tyrants. Socialism is the gospel of envy.
|
Disagree. I’d rather lose in the championship than to lose in the final four
Posted by AceFrehley

unc was the best team in the country. as proven by the final score and nba draft *

I'd rather win THE CROWN than deal with the nutpunch of a loss in a tournament*
Posted by fratstud
|
I disagree - getting to the final is gravy, win or lose*
Posted by Potomac
|
You're wrong.*
Posted by Lexillini The welfare of humanity is always the alibi of tyrants. Socialism is the gospel of envy.
|
Settle out of court vs take chances on a jury?*
Posted by Potomac
|
Never permit scUM to defeat us again in the late rounds of the tournament.*

I actually feel the same way..and shouldn't..but I do. Niece is at UM

Missed the game and just watched the finish. An all-timer play*
Posted by Potomac

i was planning to watch the 2H and saw the score and almost didnt.
Posted by arthurkirkland
|
if you're gonna go 1-5 on threes, that sure was the time to do it*
Posted by Potomac
|
they were 1-18 or 19 on 3s at one point, until near the end..crazy*
Posted by Mismysteri
|
another one where the refs should not have had a timeout to check the clock*
Posted by Potomac
|
I'd have to rewind it, but reading the Boozer kid effed up..how? TIA*
Posted by Mismysteri

Illini game: one of their sainted senior three punched Wags right in the stomach.
Posted by osklister
|
So happy. Just wish tix were affordable *
Posted by OskeeWowWowDig

Yeah, I'd want to take both kids, and $2100+ for three nosebleeds is really steep*

or half way decent. hoops games in football stadiums are awful.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
yes, yes they are*
Posted by Mismysteri

Only one I ever saw was in Indy, their earlier dome. Got a seat in their on-floor bleachers.
Posted by osklister

I was at the championship in 2005. Silly in a dome but I’d go again if I could*

bad fan here, I bought FF tix for peanuts that October. Was offered over 3G
Posted by Mismysteri

So today it would be CU instead of CR? *
Posted by osklister
|
sadly, yes..but I do love CU*
Posted by Mismysteri
|
and the seats were waay up high, so not good seats*
Posted by Mismysteri

I am too old now to sit in those seats and not see crap other than fan's rectangles in the air.

No miracle comeback in E8 like 2005; still plenty tense enough*
Posted by Potomac

I do all kinds of stuff to change momentum, but have never tried being motionless.

Which team do you want next?*

Oh ye of little faith !! (It's okay, all is forgiven.) *

Writing's on the wall. *
Posted by osklister

Want to see replay on last foul*
Posted by Potomac
|
Did wagler foul or was it another phantom*
Posted by Potomac
|
Keaton gets knocked down and gets the foul for his attacker falling over him
Posted by groupguy
|
Egregious fouls called on us this half and the Boswell foul in half 1*
Posted by WesMantooth
|
That was my take too*
Posted by Learning_and_Labor

Anything can happen.*

Our guardian angel gave us a gift with this matchup. Use it *
Posted by Potomac

We’re going to win this game*
Posted by AceFrehley

22 points in the first half last game. 41 in the second*

Too much dribbling and standing around again*

Posted by Mismysteri
|
Wagler screwing around on last play. Move the ball*
Posted by Potomac
|
Missing makable shots*
Posted by AceFrehley
|
And we missed like the last 10 shots*
Posted by AceFrehley
|
More of that great Tyler Underwood offense*
Posted by Xar
|
They missed too many easy shots*
Posted by AceFrehley
|
They haven't got easy shots because they don't run offense*
Posted by Xar
|
how do we not have ONE play for an easy 2..a lob? Anything..*

You can’t be serious *

Iliza Shlesinger was a total bitch to me. I don’t know why.
Posted by AceFrehley

Nice defensive adjustment those 2 possessions+
Posted by DouchieHowser
|
Not another crap finish to the half! Make a shot!*
Posted by Potomac
|
Mirk absolute garbage*
Posted by Xar
|
He’s off today*
Posted by DouchieHowser
|
So glad to be down only 2.*
Posted by DouchieHowser
|
Did we go zone against a bunch of 3 point shooters?*
Posted by DouchieHowser
|
Who sees Hannah Berner and says “yes I want to go to there”?*
Posted by AceFrehley
|
Finally he misses*
Posted by AceFrehley
|
Wagler missing too*
Posted by Potomac
|
Throttle him and we win*

What does Peja have against orange and blue?*
Posted by DouchieHowser
|
We needed that from Keaton.
Posted by DouchieHowser
|
What an embarrassment with the horn*
Posted by Potomac
|
Kind of ridiculous*
Posted by DouchieHowser
|
Let’s not repeat the original start, please*
Posted by Potomac
|
Looking better. Watch the stupid turnovers and make free throws*
Posted by Potomac
|
7 turnovers*
Posted by Potomac
|
their coach is way out on the floor during live ball*
Posted by Xar
|
I can’t stand that. Does it ever get called?*
Posted by AceFrehley
|
probably not*
Posted by Xar
|
We are going to take the lead before the half and won’t look back*
Posted by AceFrehley

I might go sit in a dark closet and cry like Tiki after the 2024 election*
