The depths of your animus are a bit frightening.

You may think it's impressive to do apparent research on ancient thoughts, especially to point out how one may have been incorrect.  I think it's OCD and I feel sorry for the smallness of your life.



Let's take a more current, relevant thought...like your genius chat-room posit yeserday that a prolonged stretch of holding redhawk scoreless would not be integral to a come from behind.





 

There was nothing wrong with our defense yesterday. For the season, on the whole, yeah I think you could argue we're not nearly as good on the D side as we have been in past years (reference how many individuals have had career days against us this season)...but yesterday it wasn't the problem.

The problem was 110% our "offense". We played well the first 4 minutes and the last 12 minutes. The 24 minutes in between were atrocious. 

Let's hope they were just flat from being on break all week and/or the seniors got caught up in the emotion of senior night (it happens) and now we're good to go for Cleveland. 


On a side note, I only make it to a couple games in the Convo each year and this is the first game I noticed Trent's retired jersey, so I apologize if I'm a year late to this party. It's not worth it's own thread so I'll just ask the question here.....what's up with the years being incorrect on his jersey in the rafters? It says '93-'95 when he actually played for us from '92-'95. 1992-93 was his freshman season, 93-94 was the NCAA tourney year and 94-95 was the preseason and postseason NIT season. It even says 92-95 in the OU program record books but they flubbed it on his jersey in the rafters? Talk about an oops. What gives?

Shout out to OUBob for giving me and my son the seat upgrade to Monroe's seats...It was right when we turned it around.

And a shout out to I believe Brian Smith...or whoever it is in section 1 behind the Miami bench with the charlie head and red shirt making Charlie motions.  Really funny to watch.

You did get there just at the right time. And BleedGreenandWhite, very well done. I have some great pictures. It was hilarious.

BG&W brought some OZone to the OldZone with his Charlie gear. Awesome.

bobcat695 ... if you can, you should post a pic for the people who didn't get to see him in action.

Glad to see "Charlie" made it. The folks behind me had several small children. WHilst explaining what was going on withthe band and the cheerleaders, the game and such....the woman kept yellling at the Miami coach...."SIT DOWN CHARLIE!" while the father was telling the kids the Akron mascot ...a zip....was a form of Donkey.....well OK ...Dambrot is an ass but he is hardly their mascot. ....I guess life in the upper deck you miss a lot.....good thing I am a serial seat upgrader.

So funny! Thanks for posting, 695.

OMG, that is awesome!!!!  

I liked how he was sure to take the red shirt off after taking on the Charlie identity every time.  He was NOT going to be seen in a red shirt without the Charlie head on.

Another huge contribution from Jon Smith was his defense on Felder. I think Felder had 16-18 points before Smith pretty much shut him down the rest of the game. 

Not only did Nick have a big shot after being pretty much non-existent most of the game, but the same could be said about Ivo (3-pt basket in final minutes) and TJ (rebound basket in final minutes). 

If anyone is interested I  posted a couple of short videos of mine on youtube of the end of the game. One of the final basket and one of the blocked shot at the end. I don't know how or if I am even allowed to post them here so if you would like too see them just type in miami-ohio 3/9/13.
