Maybe he's a racist. What's his middle name anyway? Kevin perhaps? I think I've found him out :wink:















It was a joke. Although I wouldn't be surprised if it was because you were an LU alumn

SCAR,

I too am offended, and sorry to see what is happening. You're a big part of the success and emjoyment of the broadcats.
Hang in there, keep up the good work (when you can) and God bless.

(Talk about a "Brother" offended!) Proverbs 18:19 A brother offended is harder to be won than a strong city: and their contentions are like the bars of a castle.

I'm a "Brotha" offended. Were there any of us around in the Bible Times GRM? (just kidding of course). But I must again, thank you for your support and I am glad you get to hear and see the games all the way out there in CA! The Internet is an amazing tool. I could say something negative about KK along those lines but I will hold out. I still have to see him from time to time so I better be nice. You won't see me play the race card though I know things happen to me a lot in my daily journey. I usually send Mrs SCAR into places by herself so we won't get bad service (believe me it happens). I will be pulling hard for the Flames tonight. A loss here and we could be in danger of not making the Big South Tournament due to tie breakers. VMI would have it's 3rd win and all tie breakers vs. Liberty with a win tonight. This game is really important! I would like to see us win the rest of our games and get a 1st round home game (an extra TV game I might add) but 1st things first. Go get VMI tonight!

Anyone that's been around the BS knows how big of a joke he is anyways...and for whatever reason he's always felt intimidated by LU

Putting KK aside (we could only wish) Scar brings up some good points about the importance of tonight's contest. This is a winnable game and one we really can't afford to drop based on the tough road ahead.

This game, in a worst case scenario, is the fight for the last seed in the tournament, to me. VERY important that we come away with a W.

Yes, this game is very important. I will be there in full support, and hope we can get alot of students out as well. As we all know, the Furnace can be a very difficult place to play when it is rocking!

After a long day of class and homework, I am off to the Vines to let my stress out on the Keydets!

I am ready for the game. I am happy to see a game on TV up here. If only SCAR were doing PBP, but we've already went into that. Anyway. Got Comcast SportsNet fired up and I am ready to see us beat VMI. I hope a lot of you students go. A loud Vines Center is a good fun Vines Center.

A couple observations.

1. What is with the EA Sports video game version of Vines Center. IT looks nothing like our arena.

2. I like the scrolling ads on the scorers table. Are those new??

Good game so far. I'll be watching til 8 then it's Dancing with the stars and the game during commercials.

I never got into Dancing with the stars ...

But yeah, the game is going well.. it's almost cliche at this point but we need a presence down low. This game wouldn't be close if we could play a little inside-outside. VMI runs a lot but we could wear them down if we had the bodies down low. I've been a little more impressed with Monroe than I thought I would . I do give him more grace now as I see his talent is being overlooked because of how he's being asked to play. He looks to be a solid 4, not a 5.

Back to the game for me...

Seems like a lot of noise is coming from a small number of students. I recall back in the late 90's how the vines was packed and loud! "Warm up the bus" was a common phrase at the end of games along with "AAAWWWWW SIT-DOWN!" Fun fun.

We can;t seem to shake these guys. Let's hope this is not a repeat of our game down in Charleston.

We're up by four with just over 5 minutes to go.

The best game in Vines that I remember was the 2004 BSC Championship game. Vines was packed and LOUD AS CAN BE. ESPN carried it live. Rowdy behavior all around and a good court storming afterwards.

LB and Reggie Williams were a wash at 23 apiece. So it was our supporting cast who got the job done tonight.

Hopefully this is the beginning of us turning the corner.
