Bring On The Cats

justin.tv/hpnutty

You’re welcome.

Many many thanks

I just finished finals and work in the school’s library and this will now be an appropriate celebration night. Now lets go cats!

No prob

Apparently, he does every game.

Luckily, I haven’t needed his services all year. Nice change of pace.

Congrats on finishing finals.

My advice to you….never leave Manhattan.

It sucks out there when you leave.

thanks!

i actually finished from Kstate about 5 years ago and am in grad school out here in Los Angeles. Suprisingly its actually dang cold out here but no blizzard

Ah, I like LA...

Well, I should say that I like the Ontario/Upland/Rancho area.

Never move back here because it’s warmer there.

Yep. Ive come to really enjoy it all

i actually kindof miss the nice changes in season and weather but not sure i miss the blizzards. I remember in like 2002/2003 when kstate beat texas at home and there were only a few hundred people at the game becasue of the same conditions that are happening tonight. I was at that game and have to say it was one of the best games to watch ever

I just finished the watching the video at the following link...

And I’m so full of EMAW right now that I could cry.

THANK YOU

Tradition of Basketball DVD

is just all around great stuff. It should be required to watch for all new players and fans, I’d give anything to see a game in Ahearn after seeing that video.

WOW!!! ahern would have been a good place to watch a game. i cant imagine camping for a week for a game. that would be the best thing in the world. this is another video every ksu fan should watch.

Help me out, gents

Stuck at work on this fine, snowy night in the Midwest.

TB - December 8, 2009 reply

I'll fill you in on what's going on...

Clubzilla is one step closer to entering the real world (which, ironically, is keeping you stuck at work.)

Bracket is passing out pirate Internet TV links.

And I’ve turned up my TV about as loud as prudently possible because the wife is painting trim in the nursery while blaring Bon Jovi on a boombox.

Also, even with cameras stationed indoors, Minnesota looks bleak, cold, and I believe living there is probably as good a reason to harm yourself as anything else out there.

Dave Armstrong is calling our game. Over/under on the first KU reference?

Also, odds that he’s had Bill Self’s hangdown in his mouth in the past three days?

Hey, you know what's more boring than watching Big Ten basketball?

Watching a Big Ten team play Morgan St.

Just finish the goddamn game Tubby.

Unholy Alliance Alert: Jon Sunvold is the color guy on our game, and I believe he's the best in the conference.

Starting lineup:

Clemente
Pullen
Sutton
Judge
Kelly

Apparently the snow has gotten onto the floor as we're slippling and sliding on the floor pretty good.

I hope Armstrong gets snowed into Manhattan and must stay there like Bill Murray in Groundhog Day.

We never wanted him here in the first place and we certainly don't want him staying here either

wabasher - December 8, 2009 reply

Bulltavious with a two. Continues to impress.

We're really setting offensive basketball back a few year tonight

Just God-awful shooting.

Score plz

TB - December 8, 2009 reply

7-6 Xavier.

Horrible announcing 1 - Respect for Humanity 0

I want to try the Sobakawa air pillow. That looks nice.

That was a nice give 'n go to Kelly.

Then Xavier hits a three. 10-8.

Kelly came to play.

That makes two, including Irving

Bulltavious with a long two. 10-10

Wally with a nice putback. 12-10

Can someone please get on the white guy? That's two three's for him. 13-12 XU

He hit another three, but he was out of bounds.

Shit, you know you’re on when you’re hitting them from OOB.

Oh, that was a sweeeet oop from Jake to Kelly. No, it wasn't a dunk, but it was nice.

14-13 Cats for those of us enslaved by "The Man"

That is one ugly dude, and he has a black eye to boot.

Nice transition bucket after a good luck from Kelly. 16-14

F-ing crawford. But that was a nice put back by Dom. 18-17.

Okay, that was funny. Dom picked off a pass, tossed it towards our bucket, and JHR tried to run it down.

It was like watching something from a Dr. Seuss cartoon.

He didn’t get it, BTW.

We have to weather the storm

Not the ice storm… the fire storm coming from Crawford and Whitey.

Eventually, they gotta start missing, and eventually, we gotta start hitting.

I don't care to know his name. He's the white guy. Singular.

I take that back. Shrek is a white guy too.

Wow...

How about that softball of a question to get a KU reference in?

So JHR got stuffed by the rim. That what it used to look like when I tried jumping at my Nerf hoop in grade school.

JHR with two at the line. Good work, son. 20-18 Cats

14-5 Rebounding advantage for KSU right now. Samuels to the line for two.

Sameuls 0-5 from the line.

Samuels hits a three. He just needs to shoot from back there.

Can someone please explain to me how he can't hit a free throw but he can drain a 3?

I mean, seriously? WTF?

The rebounding is sick tonight. 18-6 KSU advantage.

Kelly hits the first.

And the second. KSU 25-18

The crowd is fired up because the refs are letting them play. So far, I like it. It's not too bad. Just good, physical basketball.

I'm not getting that call there. A foul inside on Kelly?

Okay, I spoke too soon. Refs are trying to clean it up. Double foul?

Bulltavious hits one of two from the line. 26-18 KSU

Foul inside on Shrek. Ball back oto KSU

Another foul against Xavier. Taylor gets his third foul.

Samuels misses another free throw.

But he hits the second. Thank God.

This is out of control

Hooray!!

Heckuva half on D

Offense, not so much, outside of the glass. That said, I will take the 10 point lead.

At the half: KSU 30-20

Stats of note:

FG%: KSU (40.7%), XU (27.3%)
FT%: KSU (53.8%), XU (62.5%)
3PT%: KSU (11.1%), XU (33.3%)

Rebounds: KSU (22), XU (6)

Leading scorer: Kelly, 10
Leading rebounder: Kelly, 6

Continuing to surprise:

I believe the rebounds

are 27-8 K-State, at least according to Meek and Kitchen on Twitter.

See, they say that, but the box score from ESPN says 22

I trust CK though

Interesting...

I know when Samuels shot that last FT, WOW said we had 24

Considering the suckiness of our guards so far

I’ll take a 10-point lead and say Thank you very much.

Not a bad start defensively

If we could hit more FT we would be ahead by 14. I think Xavier will have a tough go in the second with all those fouls look for them to come out and play more zone. Pullen and Clemente should get more 3 pt opportunities. Keep up the defense and sick rebounding and hit our FT and we should win going away.

Good point. XU has 14 team fouls so far.

Five players have two fouls or more right now.

Last of the Mohicans theme be played in Bramlage.

*being

I love that damn song.

Hell, I love the movie.

Daniel Day Lewis = Awesome.

Off Topic: Newton to K-State...thoughts?

I'd love for it to happen.

If he goes to OU, he’s an idiot. Landry Jones will still start. Nothing against Cam, but that’s what OU does; they take guys like him and make them WR’s.

Miss. State makes sense, North Carolina doesn’t, Auburn under Chizik is an absolute farce, and KSU offers everything he wants (or has stated to want) in terms of role and opportunity to start.

KSU should get him, but my guess is that he goes to either Auburn or Miss St. to continue playing in the SEC.

Pullen finally draws contact, goes to the line.

XU goes on a mini-run, Pullen counters with a three. 39-25 KSU

Am I reading the box score right? Pullen has four fouls?

That's another foul on Pullen, so that can't be right.

They're saying that's his third. This box score sucks.

Damn Jamar what kind of circus act was that?

Alright, now the refs are pissing me off. Seven team fouls already? We've got 14 minutes to go.

Bulltavious. For three.

Another foul on KSU (apparently).

45-30 KSU

Get the damn ball into the post.

Nice post move by Kelly to draw the foul. McClean has four.

KSU busting out the 3-2

We have to get Xavier in serious foul trouble.

There have been 39 fouls called this game. We still have 11:46 left to play.

Need to get Pullen back in the game

He has 4 personal fouls.

He's got three. I found a better box score.

Well you would think the world wide leader in sports would get it right. Especially if it is their telecast.

I honestly have no idea what's right or wrong anymore with this box score.

Really an Ostertag reference? What a stretch.

I thought the same thing.

Another KU reference by Armstrong...

…everyone drink

Jam Sam puts it back STRONG.

And misses the bonus.

He’s made two FT’s despite was Dave says

48-33 KSU

Do you think Armstrong will talk about Manning before the night is through?

In the ghosts of Christmas past spirit.

Nice save and Pullen a 3.

Hell of a posession with hustle plays by Merriweather that resulted in a three by Jake. Awesome effort.

That was the fugliest FT ever Xavier.

Samuels got the yips.

I'm not sure either team will have players at the end of his game.

45 fouls called with exactly 8:00 to go.

On a side note, when a game get this out of hand, it's on the damn officials.

They let the guys play physical in the first half, and the rhythm of the game was set. If they wanted ticky tack, they should have started out that way.

Can we designae a substitute free throw shooter for Jamar?

1 for 10? Really?

If that was a grade, retards would look at it and say, “You’re stupid.”

Nice dish from Clemente to Samuels for the flush.

Someone get on the white guy, dammit.

I mean, for Christ's sake, the kid is a ginger. He might as well be a neon sign.

How the hell you leave Redford that open?

Xavier is clawing back. Down eleven with a free throw coming up.

Hits the free throw. They're down ten.

Kelly with a sweet, sweet spin move. KSU 58-XU 46

Pullen picks up his fourth on a horseshit foul.

Did these refs come from "Upward" basketball or something?

God damn, it’s like they won’t even let these guys touch each other.

+1 !!

ohiocats84 - December 9, 2009 reply

Denis with a heady move going at Holloway and hitting a drive.

Hey, another posession, another foul. Merriweather has three.

Jesus, he doesn’t play enough to get three fouls.

3 minutes left...51 total fouls called.

Go for 60?

I mean, no one has even fouled out yet…

They could have called 70...funny guy.

OMG...off the bank.

Slam by Kelly followed by a slop three by the ginger kid.

Clemente hits a couple of FT's, 66-51 KSU

Foul on Sutton.

Let's make excuses for Xavier now.

Well, the heater in their hotel room was probably too high.

Normally, I like Sunvold, but that comment was kind of stupid (if it wasn’t intended to be tongue-in-cheek).

Game. Set. Match. KSU 71 XU 56

It wasn’t pretty, but it was a quality win that we can take with us into March.

A W is always beautiful

But in this case, it’s beautiful because I have beer goggles on.

Can someone please execute the refs as soon as they leave the building? They must never be allowed to officiate again!

According to Frank

They were tired. 9 consecutive days of practice or games. Mentally there, by physically tired.

Glad they got a win, even if it was ugly.
