Davidson

Davidson is giving tOSU all it can handle. I'm not watching the game, but their up right now...

by GoHorns on Mar 17, 2006 12:34 PM CST reply actions

i was going to say the same thing

Davidson is actually bringing a pretty solid team to the tourney. theosu might get a rude awakening for their first round game and then they have to play texas in september in austin. fuck theosu.

there were a lot of potential upsets yesterday that didn't come through in the end. too bad that Pacific couldn't pull it out. i wanted a buster.

i want to go see the billboard in pasadena with the USC three peat today. 41-38.

And for the record i am sporting my BON t-shirt for the day in caliville.

you find a place to steal internet?

by the other Andrew on Mar 17, 2006 12:53 PM CST up reply actions

49-44 tOSU

Pulling away?

by GoHorns on Mar 17, 2006 12:48 PM CST reply actions

'Zona layin the wood

The Badgers are just getting stomped. 59-38 with 15 minutes left. That's not looking pretty.

by GoHorns on Mar 17, 2006 12:55 PM CST reply actions

Iowa loses

on an amazing 3 from the corner, fading away with .5 left.

by JohnsonUT on Mar 17, 2006 1:43 PM CST reply actions

Iowa

goes down!!

The road just got a little less bumpy.

Walker, Texas Ranger -- C.D. Parker: And how are you doing, little partner? Lucas Simms: Walker told me I have AIDS.

by EYESofBEVO on Mar 17, 2006 1:51 PM CST reply actions

No real surprises in the second set of games

All seems normal. Oral Roberts started strong, but faded pretty quickly. Georgetown and NIU are playing fairly close.

by GoHorns on Mar 17, 2006 3:30 PM CST reply actions

Hey Tucker

Quit dribbling it off your thigh!

by the other Andrew on Mar 17, 2006 9:02 PM CST reply actions

Check out the IQ on those cheerleaders

Huuuuuge!

by the other Andrew on Mar 17, 2006 9:04 PM CST up reply actions

SOmebody forgot to wake us up

from our nap

by the other Andrew on Mar 17, 2006 9:10 PM CST up reply actions

O/U at 75?

I'll take the under.

by the other Andrew on Mar 17, 2006 9:11 PM CST up reply actions

If you told my grandmother

I'd be watching the basketball game over the internet on my computer....

she'd say "What's a basketball?"

I'll be here all night.

by the other Andrew on Mar 17, 2006 9:15 PM CST up reply actions

Those Penn undershirts

are like tents.

Sleeps 3-4... or 1 Mangino.

by the other Andrew on Mar 17, 2006 9:19 PM CST up reply actions

A dribbling turnover?

wha? you don't say!

by the other Andrew on Mar 17, 2006 9:20 PM CST up reply actions

Overheard today at work:

"I just can't drink domestic beer"

wtf?

by the other Andrew on Mar 17, 2006 9:23 PM CST up reply actions

Barnes needs to talk to Eddie Reese

about how to finish a season

by the other Andrew on Mar 17, 2006 9:24 PM CST up reply actions

I better not start seeing the "hurtsies"

from our players

by the other Andrew on Mar 17, 2006 9:28 PM CST up reply actions

If we were playing a good team,

we'd be losing by 12

by the other Andrew on Mar 17, 2006 9:31 PM CST up reply actions

Hey D-Gib

Playin a game here bud....

by the other Andrew on Mar 17, 2006 9:35 PM CST up reply actions

What a crisp, clean first half

by the other Andrew on Mar 17, 2006 9:41 PM CST up reply actions

You can shoot 28%

and lead at half?

Nasty

by the other Andrew on Mar 17, 2006 10:02 PM CST up reply actions

Refs not calling much

that's not a complaint either.

by the other Andrew on Mar 17, 2006 10:03 PM CST up reply actions

Paulino

did not move on that possesion

by the other Andrew on Mar 17, 2006 10:04 PM CST up reply actions

Nice switch to man D

by the other Andrew on Mar 17, 2006 10:05 PM CST up reply actions

Is that our fans

counting down when Penn has the ball?

by the other Andrew on Mar 17, 2006 10:07 PM CST up reply actions

This text

is what it looks like in the paint when we're on Offense.

by the other Andrew on Mar 17, 2006 10:10 PM CST up reply actions

Oh man

there needs to be a continuation foul in basketball, like in lacrosse or hockey

by the other Andrew on Mar 17, 2006 10:12 PM CST up reply actions

Moving to a new line

Sorry, fans of the squish

by the other Andrew on Mar 17, 2006 10:13 PM CST up reply actions

Having a good time

I am in maine watching this on cbssportsline on leslie's parents computer.

by Wells on Mar 17, 2006 10:16 PM CST up reply actions

There's one of my other quotes:

"Why can't we in-bound the ball?"

by the other Andrew on Mar 17, 2006 9:16 PM CST reply actions

Player of the Half

Our best offensive (and I guess overall) player of the 1st half was LaMarcus Aldridge. whats that?
The Big 12 DEFENSIVE Player of the Year is the leading scorer with 8 Points????

ALL I CAN SAY IS...
I Hope Coach Barnes gives one hell of a halftime peptalk. Texas needs to wakeup or else will end up like Oklahoma, 1 and Done.

Taylor Texas Fan For Life!

by texaslonghornfan on Mar 17, 2006 9:47 PM CST reply actions

At least we're doing better

than the big 12 conference tourney champs...

by the other Andrew on Mar 17, 2006 10:01 PM CST up reply actions

Is it just me and Vencil Mares in here?

If you've never said hello at BON, now's the time.

Go on npw, I'd like to meet ya.

by the other Andrew on Mar 17, 2006 10:08 PM CST reply actions

Hi

and we are up by four.

by bamfor on Mar 17, 2006 10:11 PM CST reply actions

Yeah buddy!

you know it we're up by 4.

by the other Andrew on Mar 17, 2006 10:14 PM CST up reply actions

AJ

gonna light it up!

by the other Andrew on Mar 17, 2006 10:15 PM CST reply actions

There is absolutely nothing wrong

with weighing 125 as a college freshman.

by the other Andrew on Mar 17, 2006 10:17 PM CST up reply actions

Well...

as long as you're not a center.

by bamfor on Mar 17, 2006 10:18 PM CST up reply actions

WTF has been happening

I have been expecting a blow out and therefore not checking on the game.

by Wells on Mar 17, 2006 10:18 PM CST up reply actions

Wells!

Where you been.

I'd like to introduce you to bamfor.

by the other Andrew on Mar 17, 2006 10:19 PM CST up reply actions

Bamfor

are you on the east cost and watching this in a choppy 2 in x 2 in window as well?

by Wells on Mar 17, 2006 10:20 PM CST up reply actions

I'm on the west coast

and watching it in a crystal 2 x 2 window

by the other Andrew on Mar 17, 2006 10:21 PM CST up reply actions

So..

from what I hear Wells is a Texas fan.

by bamfor on Mar 17, 2006 10:21 PM CST up reply actions

Bamfor

you "for Bam"-a? A Texas fan? Or some Aggie waiting for the upset?

by the other Andrew on Mar 17, 2006 10:22 PM CST up reply actions

Niether

Actually I am a UT-El Paso fan. Texas just fufills my need to follow a winning program and steers are awesome.

by bamfor on Mar 17, 2006 10:24 PM CST up reply actions

What did you think about that movie

and how does one become a UTEP fan?

by Wells on Mar 17, 2006 10:25 PM CST up reply actions

My guess is

you either live in El Paso or you actually mine elements and are looking for a mascot to represent your profession

by the other Andrew on Mar 17, 2006 10:28 PM CST up reply actions

The movie was actually true in many respects - We do live in the middle of nowhere if you are 17, you can go into Mexico and get wasted. You become a UTEP fan by either being born into it or attending a basketball game. MY ears are still ringing from Tuesday night.

by bamfor on Mar 17, 2006 10:29 PM CST up reply actions

Tuesday night?

by Wells on Mar 17, 2006 10:31 PM CST up reply actions

Yea

We played Lipscomb in the NIT. And I sat in the student section.

by bamfor on Mar 17, 2006 10:32 PM CST up reply actions

Is colorado still in the NIT>?

Have not had a chance to check.

by Wells on Mar 17, 2006 10:37 PM CST up reply actions

Just so you know

Colorado lost to Old Dominion in the first round 61-79. Also, Oklahoma State lost to Miama(Fl.) 62-59.

by bamfor on Mar 17, 2006 10:41 PM CST up reply actions

Miami*

by bamfor on Mar 17, 2006 10:42 PM CST up reply actions

Why the asterix?

by the other Andrew on Mar 17, 2006 10:43 PM CST up reply actions

nevermind

i see you misstroke

by the other Andrew on Mar 17, 2006 10:43 PM CST up reply actions

Really?

Gibson has four fouls? When did this happen?

by bamfor on Mar 17, 2006 10:16 PM CST reply actions

Have they been hitting threes

when ever we get a lead?

by Wells on Mar 17, 2006 10:19 PM CST reply actions

That was their

bread n butter for the first half

by the other Andrew on Mar 17, 2006 10:20 PM CST up reply actions

FYI - Bradley 54, Kansas 45

by the other Andrew on Mar 17, 2006 10:20 PM CST reply actions

I know

my bracket is totally fucked.
It is still really cold in Maine, I am in full clothes and a blanket right now.

by Wells on Mar 17, 2006 10:22 PM CST up reply actions

No shit

Got down to 65 here in LA

by the other Andrew on Mar 17, 2006 10:23 PM CST up reply actions

It is in the teens tonight

Aldridge will lead us to victory

by Wells on Mar 17, 2006 10:24 PM CST up reply actions

Wow

I still can't believe aTm won their game..

by bamfor on Mar 17, 2006 10:26 PM CST up reply actions

Great percentages

Penn is 7-18 on threes while 10-34 on twos.

by bamfor on Mar 17, 2006 10:22 PM CST reply actions

In other sports

we beat Tech in baseball, 4-3

by the other Andrew on Mar 17, 2006 10:26 PM CST reply actions

This is crap

we need to step up and kick the crap out of these guys.

by Wells on Mar 17, 2006 10:28 PM CST reply actions

Kansas still down by a decade

by the other Andrew on Mar 17, 2006 10:31 PM CST reply actions

Guards are 1 for 10

nice, way to go guys

by Wells on Mar 17, 2006 10:31 PM CST reply actions

Penn shooting 30%

and only down by 5

by the other Andrew on Mar 17, 2006 10:37 PM CST reply actions

Gibson

stepping it up, but what if he fouls out

by Wells on Mar 17, 2006 10:38 PM CST reply actions

then AJ steps up

p.s. I heart AJ, in a platonic way

by the other Andrew on Mar 17, 2006 10:39 PM CST up reply actions

I feel it here

The tide's changing

by the other Andrew on Mar 17, 2006 10:39 PM CST reply actions

I think so

but that is what I thought 5 minutes ago, then we sucked for a while again.

by Wells on Mar 17, 2006 10:40 PM CST reply actions

Sounds like our entire season

by the other Andrew on Mar 17, 2006 10:40 PM CST up reply actions

Kansas within 5

by the other Andrew on Mar 17, 2006 10:40 PM CST reply actions

crap foul

what about UNC, are they going to lose?

by Wells on Mar 17, 2006 10:43 PM CST reply actions

no

by the other Andrew on Mar 17, 2006 10:44 PM CST up reply actions

sports line

game ticker is faster than the game.
I am looking at other games and know what is going to happen.

by Wells on Mar 17, 2006 10:44 PM CST reply actions

if youre going to call the 5 second call

you better fucking call the three second call in the paint at the other end

by the other Andrew on Mar 17, 2006 10:46 PM CST reply actions

Come to think of it

They called a back-court violation? I haven't seen one called all year.

by bamfor on Mar 17, 2006 10:47 PM CST up reply actions

Bank a three

you got to call that.
the past couple of calls have sucked.
I hate the ivy league, they play like A&M

by Wells on Mar 17, 2006 10:48 PM CST reply actions

A&M plays thuggish

Ivy League plays basketball

by the other Andrew on Mar 17, 2006 10:49 PM CST up reply actions

True

The both play slowdown, but at least it is clasical slowdown.

by Wells on Mar 17, 2006 10:51 PM CST up reply actions

It's true

The only difference between A&M and the Ivy League schools is that the Ivy League can count past 20.

by bamfor on Mar 17, 2006 10:50 PM CST up reply actions

What's your opinion of GIllespie?

by the other Andrew on Mar 17, 2006 10:52 PM CST up reply actions

I hope my pet mantee will eat him on his way to wo

I hope my pet mantee will eat him on his way to work

by bamfor on Mar 17, 2006 10:53 PM CST up reply actions

I'm gonna eat you Billy G!

by the other Andrew on Mar 17, 2006 10:56 PM CST up reply actions

If..

you stare at it long enough it kinda looks like Sheldon Williams

by bamfor on Mar 17, 2006 10:58 PM CST up reply actions

He is a dick

but he gets results.

by Wells on Mar 17, 2006 10:54 PM CST up reply actions

Yes but..

he left a city that was basketball based for a village that is football based. There is now rumors of him being interviewed for a Mississippi job.

by bamfor on Mar 17, 2006 10:57 PM CST up reply actions

all I can say is god bless the internet

by the other Andrew on Mar 17, 2006 10:48 PM CST reply actions

That is true

or I would be watching the ticker above the screen.
What have we learned? Not to play like shit.

by Wells on Mar 17, 2006 10:50 PM CST up reply actions

This is awfull

every one from now on is going to press us

by Wells on Mar 17, 2006 10:52 PM CST reply actions

Wells

did you not watch our games in December?

Everyone and their granny pressed us. Penn just dusted off the game film

by the other Andrew on Mar 17, 2006 10:53 PM CST reply actions

Why did they stop

we still cant figure it out

by Wells on Mar 17, 2006 10:54 PM CST up reply actions

Well...

we pulled that one out of the fire.

by bamfor on Mar 17, 2006 10:55 PM CST reply actions

Kansas is going to lose

that screws my bracket.
I though they could have a good run.

by Wells on Mar 17, 2006 10:55 PM CST reply actions

Will we see "Chalmersfan"

around these parts?

by the other Andrew on Mar 17, 2006 10:57 PM CST reply actions

Not until next year

when he will ask for the championship without playing a single game.

Will these guys just give it up?

by Wells on Mar 17, 2006 10:58 PM CST up reply actions

Syrcause

did not get worn out, the sucked from the begining, just got hot for four games.

by Wells on Mar 17, 2006 10:57 PM CST reply actions

Just saw the manitee

by Wells on Mar 17, 2006 11:00 PM CST reply actions
