Put me in the crow eating corner. Long story, but I didn't see the last 20 seconds of regulation on. Just saw the highlights.. This team isn't what I would call great in basketball terms, but they are incredible no matter how you look at it. Unbelievable.

Camp #5:

You care way too much to risk bad mojo by actually watching the game.

In the past, every time you turn it on they're up by 8 and after 5 minutes of watching they've not scored, gotten 3 techicals, best player is ejected, second best player is injured. Opposing teams unheralded player comes off the bench to score 15 points on 5 for 5 from 3 point land. Cyclones are now behind.

So you just never risk watching.

After you're pretty sure the game is over you muster up your courage and check the ESPN scores. You tell yourself, "It's just a game, it doesn't matter," before you check it to prepare yourself for the worst. Finally you get up the nerve. You see the result and either shut the computer down - or go check the game thread and post game comments, reveling in the post game positives.

Like today's game, if you're reading the game thread, you tell yourself, I'm glad I didn't watch, I would have jinxed it for sure! So glad I didn't have to ride that emotional roller coaster of those who watched. Wow, some of these posters sure are negative, bet they're glad they were wrong.

Lol...pages 35-45 on this thread are priceless! We go from...never winning another game to well, winning this game.
Poor Matt Thomas goes from pathetic shooter to clutch Matty Ice...

Nobody married feels sorry for you. This is a "you problem". Never, never, never trust your wife.

Going forward:
If you Have children:
1-ask them to do it.
2-They are trustworthy with technology.
3-If they don't you are allowed to hurt them(look in Leviticus it is there).

if you don't have children:
1-be a man. Own this duty. Own it!


Here to help ;)

I agreed I failed miserably.

Won't happen again.

Dickie V just mentioning our win in the Duke/NC game. More about Ford not fouling us with 5 seconds left.

This post on Orange Power(OSU's message board) deeply concerns me


What I did not like from Ford this game (okay yall need to chill first of all we are better than ISU and we played great at their place like I wished we would have won but some of yall are acting like we have no shot in the tournament what so ever we can make a run as a 10 seed) was our last T.O.. couple of things about that. Why not save the T.O. just in case we cant inbound the ball, and second I would have used that T.O. when forte was at the free throw line to tell my team to foul them if Forte was to miss the second shot.
Isn't that stupid to say when we swept you?
