A Sea Of Red

Post to my friends on Flamefans. Long time guys. I'm still hanging tough on the mean streets of Annville PA.

LU didn't play well tonight but we were playing with house money. The run in the BSC tourney saved a pretty miserable season. Bottom line is we got some exposure on the national scene and backed it up by showing well in spite if not playing well.

JC wasn't going to get that call. I have no issue with the kid trying to make a play. With 16 minutes to go in the half you get that call but not with 2 seconds left in The game.

Congrats to The team for giving us reason to watch the tourney and here's to the baseball team winning a super regional and going to Omaha.

I hope all of you old school dinosaurs are doing well.

Go Flames!

Why would an official blow his whistle for a non foul? JC initiated 100% of the contact hoping to get the whistle. He didn't because he wasn't fouled. So hopefully the official wouldn't make that call with .2 or 16:00 left in the game.

You know as well as I do that when there is that much contact it's often called a foul no matter who initiates the contact. Foul or not you almost have to have your arm ripped off to get a call with 2 seconds to go. The final play tonight there was quite a bit of contact period. They nailed Marshall with a foul on a conventional 3 point play in the second half where contact was initiated on him (barely). They called that and that was a non foul if there ever was one and less contact than on the final play.

I'm not saying the refs cost LU the game. I'm saying you're not going to get that call with 2 seconds left in the game. You might in a different part of the game when there is that much contact but not at the end.

LU didn't play great but they gave great effort and made the last 2 weeks if the season fun.

welcome back.

SLY missed you.

Hey Medic. I hope all is well with you down in Philly.

cold but at least not snowing today

I'm so vain...I probably think this thread is about me.

Welcome back HBurgFlame! It has been too long man!

The amount of contact doesn't determine a foul. Yes, officials make calls sometimes when it was the offensive player who initiates contact. It doesn't mean it is the right call. Last night the right no call was made.

SCAR nice job of distributing the ball and going strong to the rack. Loved the clips of action at the MPC. I ran into one of your neighbors at my old company.

Great job on MASN by the way - we really enjoy the broadcasts up here.

Thanks HBF! I love to cover the team and I can't wait until next year to see us do even more games...IN HD!!! You ran into one of my neighbors now? Or someone that used to live near me? PM me the name if you don't mind. It's amazing how small the world is sometimes.

SCAR in HD? Oh boy. Maybe not all progress is a good thing

Yeah that might be even too much for me. I don't like to get that much detail in the mirror at my (our) age.

Don't be too tough on SCAR - he's still got tremendous ball skills. Just ask him about his two tremendous grabs on press row in Conway.

I have hands. I can still shoot it (ask Rooster Cogburn) I can even still jump (not ETSU jumping but...). It's the landing that kills. Yeah I can't remember what game that was Lynchburger but the ball kept coming to me at press row. I was tempted to shoot.

I don't know if breaking suction on your shoes counts as 'jumping'.
