I will be attending the game with my family tomorrow. The last time I saw the Flames was in in Norman against the Sooners (that was not a real good night). I'm excited to see this young team.

Mason has a 6'7" & 275 lb. power forward? Man, I wish Vince Redd could come back for Monday night's game in an LU (basketball) uniform. :fight

Don't even bring up the Sooners name this evening, SumItUp. I'm still spitting mad. :banghead

You are going to love watching these kids play.

Larranaga always seems to have a wide body or 2. They had a couple on their final 4 team.

DirecTV, baby.

Scar, we expect a FF shoutout. Don't give us that nonsense about the "higher ups" telling you not too.

Been looking forward to this game since they announced the schedule...should be an entertaining game

If we can keep playing hard on the defensive side it could get interesting

I will be at the game as well - my first time seeing them play in person - I plan to get out to a few games at the end of the season, and I've already put in to be off for the BSC tournament.

I hope they keep those whistles blowing if we start getting pushed around underneath like the Patriots are likely gameplanning.

Roger is one of the best in the business. He is near the top for ACC officials..and that's tough to do.

Oh, I know he's good. We just have fun messing with him.


Last year he came to the scorer's table and goes, "They really don't like me here do they?"
