2007 College Basketball Thread

I've never seen anything like this in my life. 16 fouls called against A&M in the first half alone. Texas has more points from the FT line than from the field. Durant has suddenly morphed into Dwyane Wade in the refs eyes. I can't believe we're winning this game so far.

A&M seems to have the league lead under control at this point.

Damn, if Marcus Dove can't come back from this ankle injury Oklahoma State can kiss its season goodbye right now. Forget the preliminaries. We are too thin.

My prediction all day has been Sooners 75, Pokes 61

Neither team may break 50 though

75???? Shame on you, flow. Damn, did we get a break with them not calling a fourth foul on Boggan or what? Great--no sooner did I say it than Monds got his fourth foul. Don't do this to me, Cowboys.

What, I'm supposed to pump sunshine after that Colorado game?

Hey, I got traumatized by that piece of shit excuse for a game, too. I need some flowers and a massage. How about sending over a pizza with everything?

You want Hideaway fried mushrooms with it?

Damn, that sounds yummy. Please don't miss this FT.

God dammit.

Hideaway:
Fried mushrooms
Supreme pizza
Beer

That's my last meal when I go to the chair.

Please don't get my hopes up like this if you're not going to win, Cowboys. I hate losing to the Sooners. Damn, we need a road victory against anyone about now. In the worst way.

Missed both free throws. Unbelievable. How do you miss a free throw? You just stand there and shoot. Cost us a possession and probably the game.

We may have just played our way out of the NCAA tournament. It's bullshit, but the Syracuse game is not counted as an away game win for us because it was played at Madison Square Garden. It's considered a neutral site even though its in New York State. We haven't won a road game all year, and we're sure not going to win in Austin. They're playing like they've lost their confidence. Talk about the wheels coming off.

You have played right.

AND

Yes, I've played.

Well that didn't take long. My friend Eddie already called and blasted Boomer Sooner in my ear over the phone. It's so tiresome having to devise a plan for revenge before bed, but I'm undaunted. I shall figure out a way to achieve retribution. I had his car painted neon orange two weeks ago. You suppose that's why he's cranky with me?

I thought OSU was trying to kill me yesterday. I can't take any more overtime games.

I had given up on em.

Don't bring it up to Tex, he took it hard.

Tech's lost five in a row since they knocked off Kansas. He has reason to take it hard. If I were a Tech fan, and they'd lost to a team that missed as many FT's as we did yesterday, I'd be a little nauseous myself.

Seriously, I played in high school. I was lousy at offense and defense, but I could always hit free throws. You stand. You shoot. It's not hard. What is it with those guys? That must drive Sean bonkers. I loved how his assistants were having to restrain him. Damn, but he has a temper.

OK Cowpokes, what the hell? Sloppy much?

I can't believe that Dove has done such a marvelous job containing Durant, and it doesn't matter. The Pokes can't shoot for shit tonight. Sloppy, sloppy, sloppy. And Texas goes up by 12 after a takeaway. With as many turnovers as Texas has committed, it's just pitiful that O-State can't capitalize on it. Don't ask me WHAT the hell is wrong with Curry.

I called it before the game. If Curry is on, we'll win. If not, we'll look like shit. It's getting smelly in Austin. Damn....Durant just missed another FT.

EDIT--get it to within six, now we're down by 10. Pokes, what is up with you? Maybe it's just fatigue.

Okay, I guess I can go out to the convenience store with them down by 14. Why can this team not get its shit together on the road? It's ridiculous.

Okay, just got back from the market. I trust that 83-54 final score is a misprint? Someone....anyone.....someone tell me my Pokes aren't that pathetic on the road. That's pitiful. Texas is not so good they should beat O-State by 29 points. The wheels have done come off and rolled down to the Gulf of Mexico. Did Curry ever come out of his coma?

Pretty much all of this season.

Boggan called it. They aren't playing like a team. They're playing like a bunch of individuals. Stinky stinky.

This wouldn't have changed the outcome, but I find it amazing that Durant can draw fouls on a molecular level.

Somebody please explain to me how Tech can go into College Station and take down A&M, but OSU gets slaughtered on the road by the same team even though we beat Tech. If Tech can pull itself up by its bootstraps and win at A&M of all places after 5 straight losses, you'd think O-State could squeak out a road win in conference somewhere. Kudos to the Red Raiders at any rate. Oh goodie, they pissed off the Aggies just in time for us to play them. You just never know what will happen in this league, do you?

Tech always beats us. In everything. They will happily lose every game they play as long as they beat A&M. I'm used to it now.

It was funny to watch Alabama collapse against Florida last night. After Ted Valentine and his suckass officiating crew removed themselves from every play the real ballers took over.
