I will put it this way. That is a different part of the state.

Well, you're sureashell acting like one with the nonsense you're spewing. You sureashell aren't thinking like any real official would think. Anyone that thinks that calling a foul...any foul... should take into consideration the time left in the game should be up in the stands. You shouldn't be anywhere near the court with a whistle. You're dangerous.

That plain enough?

(full disclosure - I grew up in Kansas and am a KU fan.)[

I actually thoroughly enjoy Bill Self and his coaching style. Before he went to Illinois, I wish Mizzou would have hired him over Quin Snyder. If anything, as a Big XII fan, I'd be rooting for KU in this Pac-10/Big XII challenge.

Gee, Jeff, why is everybody (including the coach) pointing at you?

You're right, Jurassic. I'll hang up my whistle. My stance that this is a give-or-take call is completely way off base. That's why it's included in headlines across the country this morning....

RIP, Ron Santo! Oh wait, I can't say that. I'm a Cardinals' fan.

You don't get it. The fact that it's in the headlines means nothing with regard to whether it was a solid call or some "50-50 call." All that means is that the call had a direct impact on a big game and a popular coach was upset about it.

The opinion of officials on here, who often disagree with one another, has been unanimous (save you).

And that's the difference. Officials think one way. Fanboys don't think.

The call didn't decide the game. Neither did the foul. The player that maintained their composure and sank the free throws decided the game. Period!

Are you serious? The hip check contact by the UCLA player - in your opinion - had no effect on the KU player? The KU player simply fell to the ground all by hisownself??

WOW!

ANd Snaqs...quit misquoting me all the time!

Hey, I was just following instructions. Have you changed your mind so quickly?

They are likely saying, "You suck." And that night I probably did.

I wouldn't suggest coming here for any type of feel good discussion. Just straight talk.
