Local sports talk radio is calling bull on this. They were on Bo Ryan for complaining about the refs and rent-a-players. Apparently, he was going after Diamond Stone, a suspected OAD. Didn't get him but he wanted him.Bob Green wrote:The things I've had communicated to me at work so far this morning:

He also had that snarky 'we don't do rent a players' remark. Sad when CALIPARI is the more gracious loser.
Also a great smack down of that remark:

Re: CHAMPIONSHIP GAME!!!!
If we had lost, Coach K would have been the epitome of grace and good sportsmanship. Hell, he was in victory. Did you guys see him stop hugging and celebrating with the assistant coaches so he could shake Ryan's hand with decorum? He didn't have to do that. I used to respect Ryan. No more. Haters gonna hate.

Hell, they spent a hunk of the first half AND the second half on the bench.windsor wrote:Bob Green wrote:The things I've had communicated to me at work so far this morning:

offer some cheese with that wine and ask how come Winslow and Okafor spent a hunk of the second half on the bench...
Final answer: scoreboard.
[redacted] them and the horses they rode in on.

You will get not mockery from the woman who left 21 when we were down 9 AND left the living room to watch (sound off...lucky duck in hand) on the little TV in the bedroom

Re: CHAMPIONSHIP GAME!!!!
I wore the same ratty t shirt and greasy sweats for the last 4 games, and coaxed Merlin to sit in the same spot on the couch. Our bailiff told me when we went ahead to stay, his wife was in the hall headed to the bedroom, and he got her to stay in the hall until the game was over.
It's only crazy if it doesn't work.

Re: CHAMPIONSHIP GAME!!!!
I made my sister and her husband delay the start of watching the game - we caught up at half time. As someone posted OY when asked if they were superstitious. I'm just stitious.windsor wrote:IowaDevil wrote:My superstition was to NOT be in 21...Wasn't you guys, just my stupid idea of what might help the team! Crazy huh?
