No, foul a DIFFERENT player, not the one with the ball.

Ohhh...I get it...give them 2 shots AND the ball back so they can win. You foul off the ball like that and there is a damned good chance its getting called as an intentional foul...especially with SBC officials

We just beat an 11-10 team by one point, losers of five straight. It's nice to beat WKU but keep it in proper perspective; they are not a very good team overall.

Good win for the Green. I'm also of the mind that you don't foul in that situation at the end of the game. We didn't give them a good look, played tough defense & he ended up throwing up a prayer. I was actually more disapointed that Josh missed the front end of the two FT's that got us in the situation in the first place. He hasn't been nearly as sharp from the FT line this year.

Even though they hit that prayer, I was still pretty confident going into overtime. Without Evans in the game, they really had a hard time containing our bigs. Props to Big George who continues to be a bright spot. He works hard night in a night out. I wish I could call him a "lunch pail" kinda guy.

The up 3, end game foul/don't foul decision is a 50/50 coaching style call...its by no means the 100%, no-brainer play some people on here are making it out to be. I'm with Green Lantern (in so many ways...) on the no foul side of things...you commit to 15 seconds of balls-out defense and if they still end up knocking down a 3 (or in this case a prayer 3) you tip your hat and get after it in OT like last night...I'm of the belief you're bringing in too many variables with fouling late game.

And George is without question our MVP this season...now 7 double-doubles, at least 7 boards in all but one game...and he seems to be getting better and better now that he has a a healthy Eric Tramiel next to him.

You're not getting it. We could have fouled their coach. If his job is really on the line this weekend like they're saving on Hilltopper Haven, let's see him do something about it.

Are those goat-penetrators stealing our bit?

Not quite, but they are adding an L to his name for each consecutive loss, which made me giggle: http://www.hilltopperhaven.com/board/viewtopic.php?t=14713

GREAT WIN last evening. I understand it was a real "knock down drag out". Sorry I couldn't watch or listen. But, the "back and forth bickering" on the board this morning after a BIG win for the Mean Green at WKY is pretty interesting. Sort of like the bickering between Kay Bailey and Rick Perry at the UNT debate recently.

Kids, kids...it was a big win, a tough road win...enjoy it! laugh.gif

I'm sure if any of those came up you would probably bitch about that too.

We will go winless in Football this year , so these are the last few wins you will see for awhile.

Pot, meet Kettle.

Hey...if the shoe fits...

Hey...if you don't like the weather in Texas, just wait a few minutes and it will change.

Crap...this is hard.

This was a fun, memorable game and a fantastic road win against a historically great team in a tough venue to win at... We cannot win the SBC without the services of Tramiel. No one on the team can replace him. We are a different team when he plays 100%.

      Caponi fired

      I understand that his decisions to go for it on 4th down so much or not to kick FGs or play the field position game are bad decisions. Just playing Devil's advocate. Could it be that those decisions stem from a lack of confidence in the defense? It feels like he believes he has to score TDs on every possession to win because the defense will not stop anyone. So, that takes me back to he should have never kept Caponi after year one.

      Ladies at ACU

      I went to the game, again we started slow and accelerated in the second quarter outscoring ACU 27-12. We let them back in it and the lead got down to three points twice. But we went on a game-sealing 11-0 run to take a 66-52 lead as Lampkin took over. One of ACU's starting bigs went out late with an apparent back injury. She's from Bixby, Oklahoma, which is where I've gotten my only speeding ticket, so maybe she deserved it. As for the arena, it shares the same name as SMU's (Moody Coliseum) and looks like a carbon copy of TCU's (albeit half the size). Recently renovated and very nice. The ACU men hosted TXST shortly after. Which we could get some better men's/women's doubleheaders and on the weekend to help boost the ladies' attendance.

      Next week's ECU game is our last chance this season to sellout DATCU Stadium

      Will Caponi and the dunk tank make one last appearance at DATCU this weekend?

      Any word on if Caponi had to drive back to DFW?
