Gamecocks are chickens, right? (via Chicago Art Department)

Gamecocks are chickens, right? (via Chicago Art Department)

Well, all I can say is that if we blow this one, SportsCenter will come on the air, explode, and everyone will blame Kentucky.

Go, Cats!

Love the Blue turnout in Columbia
This just in!!!!!

Anthony Davis declared a lane violation by the NCAA!!!

Suspended from play until a proper defense can be mounted.

if true then the ncaa is stuck on stupid
That goes without saying.
I have to change my strategy for the next game and get
don't leave us hanging like that!
OOps

too quick….bottles. Trying to toast points and blocks adds up.

You mean you are watching this game without liquid refreshment?
Only had half or less from last game.

Who Knew?

Yep - better planning required.
I

will also have to get someone to type for me……too much to watch a game, toast blocks, read this and type. I am too old for that much multitasking.

I'm just looking forward

to March when they play good. I think if they improve to peak by late March they could make an impression in the Tourney. Ya think?

25 Points

On pace for a fourth straight game of giving up 50 or less.

I think...

The more shots AD blocks the thicker the brow grows :-)

It just got a little bigger... It's a magic brow.
making the brow even more tougher..

FEAR THE BROW!!!!!!

and the roll baby!!!!
my espn just went out!!

EPIC FAIL!!!!

57-25 for you gal...

We’ll keep the score up, let us know if it comes back…

Ack!

Davis at 20 pts 8 blocks 8 boards

Shipment of fail.

As a retailer who knows how much those things weigh

Well played!

Well at least you're missing Jimmy

Look on the bright side

Lambs getting 20

I do love blocks, lots of blocks
AD is going to have to let them shoot

so he can get some rebounds.

We could have 3 guys score 20 tonight
Tied O'neil's block record
Who is this Shaq you speak of? '-)
Ancient history... ;-)
Never heard of him.
yep that is the one :)
The one who was upset in Rupp during the probation era
They mentioned him on SNL one night?

I think he played ball…

he's that old NBA guy who lost his pants in a bet on TV......

It’s just to easy

Why was that a foul?
I think I am going to let this play on a continuous loop in the house between games the rest of the season....
MT with a circus shot!

61-26

thank heavens we have a signal again.
Yay for you!
Davis triple double watch

7 rebounds

7 blocks

guy triple pumped ask was scared to go up
sigh

Now SC players are too afraid to shoot against Davis

Why shoot?
For the triple double; it will make them famous.
It took a while

but they’re learnin’

Yeah

We should just let them drive

Don't they know we need a triple double!
seriously

Selfish little sobs

MKG with a bucket, finally...
Oh

THAT should so be another block.

Just 'cause, right?? LOL
Just back from Hot Yoga

Looks like you guys have it under control.

Why in the world would you go to a yoga class when a game is scheduled?

and admit it?!

My thoughts exactly.
Good Question

Couldn’t go yesterday and probably not tomorrow and I knew we would kill them.
After those platinum uniforms those blues look beautiful

That excuse is a bit of a stretch.
don't try to change the subject
Amen to the uniform part
Well, next time just go for a run before the game and skip the yoga.
yes, why would you????
Poor little Kyle
He's not very good yet.
I know he will be someday soon.
WTH Kyle!
Not with it today...
We all have those days when we're just not feeling it.
Seems like he has had more than just one off day as if late.
Must have eaten

his pregame meal with the Gamecocks.

Which is a safer bet, a roulette wheel or shooting in the paint against Davis??
Roulette, on black

Much safer

Red or black MIGHT be about the same...
Bad pass by Miller.

You take that shot 100% of the time unless Davis is unopposed.

I think he was trying to get a lob to Wiltjer

But I agree, that was a time to shoot

Hah, a lob to Wiltjer

Isn’t that called a bounce pass?

Anyone else wanting the Cats to allow

some Gamecocks through the defense so Anthony can block em?

Missed the first half

was it as awesome as I am forced to believe?

Awesome is an understatement.
Were you at Yogo Too?
This is why I pull up the Cat's schedule before I committ to ANYTHING

Seriously, I’m blowing off the Kohl’s 50 year anniversary in favor of the Florida game.

Fortunately, my boss is a fan.

if you have time later, go back and read the first half game thread

A lot of gems there

I guess -

the Cats made a couple of good plays……..

Lamb fouled him so AD could get a board
smart thinking doron
AD needs to block a FT
is that allowed???....lol
What the heck? Are they choosing a random UK player to destroy every game?

Do. Not. Like.

MKG misses both...
not a surprise with how hard he went down
Now Davis is just swinging
I cannot believe I didnt go to this game when I had the chance......idiot!!!
DM with a triple!!
Darius!!!!!!!!!!!1
i almost feel sorry for SC

ALMOST, BUT NOY QUITE THERE YET.

No mercy!

Cobra-Khan

GI joe quotes. HP, BSG and LoTR references.

I LOVE my fellow fans.

I thought it was Cobra-Kai?
You are correct, thanks for the help!

Couldn’t remember how to spell it…

My first drive-in experience.

Karate Kid and Top Gun.

Oh Lord...

Don’t ask what mine was!! LOL

remember those B movies LOL
Frances, the talking mule

Lord, that dates me. I still remember some of the lines.

Uh...

Try Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid…

That's a worthy movie.
First movie I saw on "cable" was Deliverance...

And by cable, I mean go to the Hotel front desk and get a key to stick in a box!! LOL

My was The Russians Are Coming, with my parents. :-) A long, long time ago.
OOoooooooOOoooooooOOOooOOO

Me, too.

Ten Commandments for me

with my parents of course lol

Man who shot Liberty Valence (sp?)
I don't feel bad for them at all

Not. Even. Close.

When you think you feel sorry for them

just think about football and The Visor.

+1 for adding football to the thread.
Here's UK's weakness:

If you can get their top 6 guys on the bench they become vulnerable.

prolly my last post till I get home to the computer

Is this a special team or what?

Very. I won't forget this team for a long time.
Be safe on the drive...
I vote for special.
Eloy "the Dominican Destroyer" Vargas
Cal's tie is a little suspect
Scratch that

It’s seriously awful

Wow Look at that BLUE in the crowd.
see the picture posted in 1H thread...impressive

they even yelled air ball in 1H when SCAR missed

looked like goal tending to me
That was goaltending

but whatever

Davis--8 boards and 8 blocks

He is really flirting with it now

It would just be fantastic if he could get

A special accomplishment for a special player in a special season

Ladies and Gentlemen, Secretariat lost one on the way to glory too........

but just one……..

Now that is very scary..
This team is not going to lose in the SEC.

Not even at Vandy.

im hoping you are right
Yeah, that's true, isn't it??
dont know how this happened.....grrrr
only Derby I've ever been to

but it was the best !!

Off to the movies

Catch ya later.

Wiltjer for 3
Very glad to see that.
Softest 3 I have ever seen.

Just settled into the net so perfectly.

There ya go Kyle!

Break the ice…

Get AD back in there. He can rest after the goal is achieved.
Ha, that was out on Vargas
I don't like it when players just let a ball bounce out of bounds when they have a chance to pick it up

You’re assuming the refs saw who it last hit correctly, and that’s just not a good bet.

ooooh.....big time facepalm on the SC fan there!!!
fabulous wasnt it?
SC with 5 points in the first 10 minutes

Now that’s some mighty fine defense

I love fine defense
Nicely done Kyle!!
Nice nice move Wiltjer!
Looked great there.
He is learning

I was surprised he didn’t pick up his dribble. Then he calmly executed a nice post move even after help defense came.

1 FG in 10 minutes!
That's more like it Mr. Wiltjer.
By the way...

… welcome to A Sea of Blue. I think I neglected to welcome you earlier.

She was around last week Tru...

Your minions caught you slack! ;-)

No worries :). Glad to be here.
shes a reg now lol
Anytime he has a size advantage, he should back em down. He's got a great touch on the short shot and bank!
71-33, if anyone needs more details
Heh.

Nah. That pretty much says it all.

so that will be the extent of the postmortem?

Just the score and a “That’s all folks!”?

Heh.

Maybe. :-)

Nah, I’m not good at brevity.

Greedy

I want >100 – <50.

He still didn't jump.......:-(
We

have had a few who never had their feet leave the floor (or so it seemed!) Remember Morris?

Brad Nessler

“I don’t think we’ve done a game with a 41 point lead this year pardner!”

Lol

On the road too

this is excellent

Where ya drinkin'??
Happy Birthday Bob!
Bob the superfan needs #8 for a gift
Excellent suggestion!
Yes, he certainly does!
Are they not going to put him back in???
ELOY VARGAS!!!!!!!!!!!

Awesome!

Heck YEAH Vargas!!
Dribble Drive Vargas
Y'all know what this is......the guys were afraid the girls would make them look bad this week!!!!
Boys haven't forced 30+ turnovers yet.
Does anyone know this Mr. Wiggins?

What the heck did he do or does he do except attend ballgames?

Who cares?

I love the fact that he’s that dedicated.

Me too. i hope i can do nothing but attend games at his age.
Living the life, I'd say.
a very sweet life.
That's my retirement plan.
I didn't say there was anything wrong with that!
He's been to most of UK's games since 1944. 1944!
Awesome!

I haven’t been to most of anything in that time frame.

¡Eloy!

Never has there been better cause for an upside down exclamation mark.

All you jerkoffs who wanted the bench to get more time

I hope you’re happy!!!

;-)

given the pounding Davis took at LSU

I can see keeping him out the rest of the game. Toughest part of the schedule is coming up – let guys get some rest.

sadly i think you are right
Agreed! The record break is a forgone conclusion.
There you go Greg - a Wiltjer jump!
Yeah, they HAD to call that goaltend
Well I'll be dipped.......Wiltjer jumps and gets blocked!!!!
Davis re-entry alert
ad at the scorers table
Yes! He's coming back!
ANOTHER goaltend!!!!
AD set to check in! Now I'm worried that he might get hurt.
That's an omnipresent worry for me
I can't even ponder that without breaking out in a cold sweat and hands shaking.
seriously, theres no need for it. let him rest.
Ladies and Gentlemen.....turn out the lights........

Cause AD is about to end this party!!!!

You know......we have created Jimmy Dykes......

He keeps having to come up with stuff to say when he calls our games……it’s our own fault!!

I blame Eddie Sutton.
Twany!!

Love to see him in there.

From Ballard Memorial right?
He from Louisville Ballard, I believe
You would be really stretching it if you want to say there is a better team in the country

And I am impressed with OSU and Syracuse but they are in our rear view

There's no better team right now

there just isn’t

I'm hesitant to say it, but believe you're right...
Anthony Davis has filed with the SEC for an IPO on his new company:

Blocks-R-Us…..

Go big blue chant!

awesome

Wow! Go Big Blue!!
Go Big Blue, loud and awesome!
Love the crowd with the "Go Big Blue" chant!
LOVE THE GO BIG BLUE ON THE ROAD
my heart just jumped into my stomach
The ref looked terrified. I appreciate his concern.
Yep, AD overanxious again

like last time he got to 8 blocks

Jimmy predicting the future there...
See that's why AD needs to watch from the bench. Can't risk that.
I like how AD still made sure he got the ball.
Exactly why AD should be on yhe bench.
We just gave him a standing ovation from the house!!!
Ad gets cheers from SCar fans. Class. Thank you G-cock fans.
Forget the triple double..

More important things like #8

Good shot MKG!
Interesting shot MKG, glad it went in
"Holy Sh#&*" - rest of the SEC
Yeah, they have to be bummin'...
What's SC's 3 point % tonight??
8-19, 42%
Guess Cal has something to complain about then, huh??
yeah, the defense on the 3 was not all that great

But of course, it hardly matters when everything else is working the way it did today

And there goes another...

I’m PISSED!!!

way too high

sometimes we don’t play good D on the 3

SWISH
Shoe squeaks and swish. My two favorite game sounds.
Can we add hearing "Go Big Blue" on the road?
Absolutely! I do love hearing that.
I guess it's time to stop playing defense

and running offense. It’s a pickup game now

Great win and been even better had Maryland

took out the Heels today

Hey Gators!!!!!

You want some of this??

If they do..

Come get some..

dont let em break 50
nuts
They wouldn't have if we'd cared at all in the final 4 minutes
yeah

Understandable

86-52, that still works.
Kyle!!!!!!!!!!!
Wiltjer gets to double digits with the 3
Listen to that!!!!
I love that. When in the world has a visiting team ever taken over the house like this?
I'm out, gotta get some vittles!

See ya Tuesday!

Stay safe - see ya.
I hear that

Later all – a fun game to watch and made even more fun by hanging out in the game thread with all you fine folks!

Ass Whoopin Delux!!!
best team in the country !!!
I am gonna go have myself an ice cream sandwich and celebrate!!!
The postmortem will be a while.

I am about to eat, and then I want to relax. I’ll try to get it up tonight, but frankly, it is not a priority.

I will put up a post-game thread to chat about the game until I get a chance to do it.

take your time

no big deal

Take your time

We’ll bask in the glory.

3 turnovers in the entire game

Near perfection.

That's amazing

The subs were in there a long time

Gotta hop - see you next week.
Holy Heck!!! ive enjoyed spending my very early morning with you guys.

WHAT A GAME! I’m so glad I got of bed for it. Hope to chat with you guys again soon.
NIGHT NIGHT and enjoy the rest of your evening.

later all and great win!!!!

and Go Cats’

I'm out!

Once again I had fun. Thanks for being so welcoming!

I may have to harass the wife after a game like this.......lol
Sounds like a good idea
The Big Blue Machine Rolls On
They put her in overdrive tonight!
I started to drive to Columbia today

I wish I had. We have the national championship swagger. Davis, jones an MKG are unbelievable.
