I was keeping my eye on this thread too ... but work beckoned and I dropped the ball


(lol get my sports pun )

2/29/2012 2:52:55 PM

wth, since when does minkagrl venture into sports talk

2/29/2012 3:07:02 PM

despite the thread title, i wonder how many people are gonna come on here around 6:50 or so ready for the game to start in 10 minutes and be like ffffffffuuuuuuuuu

2/29/2012 3:48:49 PM

Yeah, I could do a 9:00 game as a student. Now that I'm an old lady, I don't know that I could stay out that late on a work night. Not that I have tickets anyways!

"CORAL GABLES, Fla. -- Miami center Reggie Johnson's eligibility has been restored by the NCAA, and he is expected to play for the Hurricanes in their game at North Carolina State on Wednesday night."

Great

2/29/2012 4:42:21 PM

^ we knew that. he's also taking a different flight than the team, but we know that too.

I'd rather play there full team. Why not?

2/29/2012 4:44:24 PM

because that probably guarantees that howell will foul-out.

2/29/2012 4:45:21 PM

5th str8 loss incoming

2/29/2012 4:52:58 PM

A week from now no one will give a fuck whether or not Johnson played for Miami, just who won and who lost. State needs to end this fucking losing streak and any advantage we can get, we need.

Miami played great without Johnson so maybe his return will actually be a detriment to their offensive flow. I do know this means Howell will have 3 fouls in the 1st half and be on the bench with 4 with 15 minutes to go in the 2nd half. Leslie will probably get in foul trouble too.

2/29/2012 4:55:37 PM

^ Painter will come in off the bench and drop 20 pts; all 15 foot jump shots.

2/29/2012 5:14:40 PM

Not sure if ^ is joking, but the first game actually was Painter's best game all season.

We're pretty big favorites in this one... about 62.5% to win according to Vegas.

It's a little surprising with Johnson back given how well Miami has played lately and how poorly we have played since the Miami game.

Miami is a good team and in a way it'd be a shame for us to keep a deserving team out of the tournament by beating them if we aren't going to do enough ourselves to get in. Oh well, I'm self-centered so I'll take the win if we can get it.

Every part of me feels like this should be a loss, but we're just too big of favorites statistically to predict that. I think we get the win. But if we don't it's going to get ugly.

I disagree. I think we barely lose. But if we win, we blow them out.

Here's some Reggie Johnson heckling material:

So I live on the U of Miami's campus. My wife works in their housing department and we (both State grads) live in an apartment on campus.

Wife was walking our dog (~70lb, 1 yr old Yellow Lab) around the lake on campus the night before last. Reggie Johnson and a couple other bball players were walking the opposite direction. As they get near her and the dog, Reggie goes completely out of his way to get as far from the dog as possible. Like in the bushes, around his friends, causing a scene kinda way. Apparently he's terrified of dogs (dog is adorable, non-threatening, being walked by a young woman). Other bball players proceed to heckle him about it all saying "Oh, Big Reggie is afraid of puppies! What's the matter Reggie, is the dog gonna come eat you?" etc etc.

So my wife tells him the dog is very friendly and he's like "uhhh I'm sure but no thanks". Other players proceed to heckle him more.

tl;dr - Make fun of Reggie for being afraid of non-threatening dogs. Maybe bark at him during free throws or something

2/29/2012 6:26:25 PM

^hahaha thats awesome...wonder if somebody has time to make a big head poster of a yellow lab

if not, when he goes to the free throw line, everybody should start barking

2/29/2012 6:32:22 PM

Great anecdote, sibling!

2/29/2012 6:55:51 PM

ibt black people jokes.

2/29/2012 7:04:13 PM

Dogs and water. Dogs and water.

2/29/2012 7:09:44 PM

That's Racist Pic fail

we start jumping and then along with it go "ooooooooooooo" and get louder like "OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH" and then switch to "PACK! PACK! PACK! PACK! OOOOOO PACK! PACK! PACK! PACK! OOOOOOOOOOOO! POWER PACK! POWER PACK! BACK THE PACK!" and then play a loud rockin rap song or somethin. i think it would get things crazy.

2/29/2012 8:49:38 PM

$80 for two games? You might as well just go.

2/29/2012 8:53:53 PM

Can't decide if I want to watch the game or just stare at this gif for two hours

2/29/2012 9:07:14 PM

What's up with Leslie's shoulder? He's had that bandage on for a few games now.

2/29/2012 9:08:17 PM

+1 to Howell for restraining and not going over the back

Even if Wood has been slumpin lately, he needs to shoot those wide open 3s.

2/29/2012 9:10:06 PM

Finally! 3 from Wood!

2/29/2012 9:10:25 PM

Leslie injured his shoulder in practice last week I believe

2/29/2012 9:10:38 PM

can't complain about pointy elbows since the image cuts them off

2/29/2012 9:10:56 PM

Like the rebounding effort, don't know if I like all the longish jumpers

2/29/2012 9:13:36 PM

Y'all need to stop watching that gif, so I'm not posting to myself in this thread.

I wish Howell wouldn't take too many of those jumpers.

This PBP guy's voice has an annoying lack of harmonic content.

2/29/2012 9:18:45 PM

Beethoven86 maybe if you make an animated gif of yourself that will help

its easy, see?

2/29/2012 9:19:21 PM
