Open Thread: Louisville vs. Stetson
Stetson Hatters at Louisville Cardinals, Dec 2, 2009 7:00 PM EST
The network crash earlier kept us from talking about Stetson in any sort of depth, but here's your pre-tip breakdown: they have my favorite logo in college basketball and they're probably the worst team Louisville will play this year.

GO CARDS.

I know the picture is shaky but
Does anyone else think the picture looks clearer than it normally does? Maybe they’re using new high def cameras and having trouble with them. Or is it just me?
They do have new "HD" cameras this year
But I think the UK mascot peed on them.

its different but not HD
my father- in-law works there and said they are too cheap for HD, but switched to 16:9 standard def, he’s a UK fan, so he’s probably doing it on purpose
This game seems like it's going to be Smith/Samuels v. Stetson
But we need to get those guys on track for the long run, so it’s probably necessary
Driving home still...score?

Sloppy game, sloppy coverage.
As close as I am to vomiting, it’s still better than watching UofL football this season.
T-Shirt Terrence
Sounds like a kids’ show character.

I keep having to look away....
….both because of the tech. difficulties and the uninspired play. Can’t watch too closely for too long without needing to lie down. Sorta like how I feel at the end of my second freedom hall hotdog….
If you like the hotdog, you should try the fried rat.

With condensed maple syrup..
….that comes out of the air of FH.
Wonder if they will be able to transfer the FH caramel corn/maple syrup smell to the new arena.
I feel an awkward break-away Jerry Smith dunk in the near future
Awkward b/c Jerry doesn’t dunk
is there any question that preston knowles is our most important player?

Don't you say anything about Stetson
I mean. The Stetson kids are freaking studs.

technical problems, NO WAY
thanks for the heads up WHAS
He'll be gone when we play teams who can play defense, but I like him
Too bad the 3s aren’t falling yet
Samardo appears to be like twice as awkward this year
He’s the Benjamin Button of Cardinal basketball.
who would win in a drinking contest
Eddie Sutton or Billy Gillispie
You're really on with the jokes tonight Mike
Keep it up.

We need you drinking before every game

It's the picture
Pretty sure this is some sort of government experiment.

Band
It still irritates me every time I see 50-year-olds in our “student” band. Just looks ridiculous.
I've figured out Sosa's source of improvement
Sucked it out of Samuels.
Like the Aliens from Signs
The same higher beings who inexplicably choose to invade a planet that’s 3/4 made up of their one weakness.

It pisses me off
And I guess they were wearing shoes when they made all those crop circles at the beginning of the movie, because otherwise that morning dew would have felt like acid on their feet.
Get your head out of your ass, M. Night.

How do you feel about War of the Worlds?
Where the invasion got stopped because all the aliens got sick and died.
More plausible
Actually dig the old one.

Sosa's second three of the night, he's got three points
Sometimes it all comes together and one network produces the best broadcast in the history of sports.
jerry smith sounds stopped up
perhaps he has a cold?
Who wrote these questions for Terry?
They’re awful.
When you are dropping Jock Sutherland references, you need to be stopped
My dad bought Every Step of the Way and I wore that book out.
you need to get control
lets not use all your jokes on the stetson game
I'm seriously shocked
I thought he was convicted in like ’01, ’03 and ’05.

Really?
That’s funny because Jeopardy has already aired in the part of the country that matters.

The guy from Chuck is hosting the tree lighting in NY special
and he has no idea how to handle it.
He’s trying to combine Ryan Seacrest, Dick Clark and Arsenio. It’s not pretty.
Didn't know it existed but I'm on board

WTF IS HAPPENING TO MY FAVORITE SPORTS WEBSITE

he's copyrighted that move; also, another little known fact...
you must refer to it as “trucking” some girl. No other verb may be used but trucking.
by UL is my hot hot sex on Dec 2, 2009 8:23 PM EST up reply actions
Or snapped a towel, or flipped out on the bench, or needlessly fouled someone after a mad bucket
Oh, Jerry antics.
Seriously, is the last game in Freedom Hall/Jerry’s Senior Day going to be the saddest night ever? If he were going out with T-Will I really might not go for fear of public embarrassment.
by Mike Rutherford on Dec 2, 2009 8:23 PM EST up reply actions
It took me a second to get this,
I all like wtf dude. That is clearly the best Jerry moment and has to be the crown jewel at senior day
I HATE this U of L ad campaign
Does anyone really recognize Kentucky as a premier academic institute? It’s not like we’re competing with Brown for students.
It would seem to me
That this would be a good time to try and get Marra going. Stetson’s zone isn’t exactly Boeheim-esque.
Stetson sound like the name of a guy who your boss needs when something goes wrong
“Get me Stetson on the phone”
they always used to tell use all the games ended in a tie in my YMCA basketball league as a kid
Maybe the Stetson coach could try that approach with his players
Too many times this year my reaction has been
“Nice look Edgar. Damnit Samardo.”
by Mike Rutherford on Dec 2, 2009 8:37 PM EST up reply actions
Ah
Give either Jennings or Goode his minutes and they would have just as good, if not better, numbers than Samardo
I'm talking about the wide-open Stetson basket
where we didn’t have anyone on their side of the floor.

Brickley asked on Twitter the other day
whether he should a shirt or not underneath his jersey. Looks like it’s workin’ out for him.

triple team of george goode
you don’t climb to the bottom of the atlantic sun by doing nothing.
Duquesne just threw the ball away trying to run down the clock
Pitt has the ball tied with 8 seconds left. If you care
And hooray
for the first awesome New England accent guy appearance of the year.
by Mike Rutherford on Dec 2, 2009 9:04 PM EST up reply actions
I hope we play Duquesne sometime
just for the thread where we can talk about how shitty the Dukes nickname is.
Unlike previous teams
this one is really good at securing the best-looking score in the game’s final seconds.

Sorry I missed it live. But I did laugh audibly several times reading through it.
Me too
You can’t beat a Don Russel reference.
