Frank Martin in SEC 1st Place
Feb 07, 2017 10:39 PM #1

So, my wife got free tickets to SC vs Alabama. Great seats, huh? At least we are only in the next-to-last row! Just a slight, eenie-meenie possibility we will move down later...

First place? Where the hell is everyone? 50 min until tip!

@mayjay pretty sure u can move down

Feb 07, 2017 10:49 PM #3

@mayjay

If it was MU you would move to court-side seats...

Feb 07, 2017 10:51 PM #4

@JayHawkFanToo That was a dirty blow. We wouldn't be there.

Feb 07, 2017 10:52 PM #5

@Crimsonorblue22 My wife said we need the exercise......

Feb 07, 2017 10:55 PM #6

@mayjay

Just a hypothetical...when I saw that Arena I though it was MU at halftime. :smirk:

Feb 07, 2017 11:12 PM #7

@JayHawkFanToo good one! Or a
big 12 when they're not playing ku

Feb 07, 2017 11:25 PM #8

@JayHawkFanToo SEC Basketball could fill a jr high gym.

Feb 07, 2017 11:27 PM #9

@mayjay LMAO. Hey, I used to do the same thing at KU in the late 70's-early 80s. I'd buy a student ticket, and sneak my way down...

Feb 07, 2017 11:30 PM #10

@mayjay

I am not so sure about that...some of the Junior HS in my area can hold a couple of thousand fans...maybe you meant couldn't? :smiley:

Feb 08, 2017 12:16 AM #11

@JayHawkFanToo 3:21 left 1st half. SC down 28-11. Unfortunately we moved closer.

By the way, not impressed with the collective bb IQ of the audience. Booed and did the Bull---- chant when a SC player dribbled with his right hand, got it back with the right, then shifted the ball to his left hand before dribbling again. Possiblt never saw a blatant dbl dribble before?

Ha, just a tad funny. - -was watching a little bit of the Kentucky/LSU game - I think the fans just a little frustrated, I saw quite a few empty seats & it was so quiet you could hear a pin drop - things getting out of control now - but still funny seeing/watching that - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Feb 08, 2017 12:37 AM #13

@JayHawkFanToo Or LSU. I've frequently sat at the courtside table with no problem. Pay 5 bucks for the ticket and move down there. I saw Alabama this year actually Mayjay. Avery Bradley is fun to watch coach.

Feb 08, 2017 12:58 AM #14

mercy, Alabama? South Carolina - - South Carolina - -THREE - FOR THIRTY in the first half, 10% shooting what the hell? - -ummm that's bad lmao---ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Feb 08, 2017 02:01 AM #15

1st lesson for my wife in "Don't leave a game behind by 10 pts with 3:45 left just because your wife wants to get out of the parking lot": now in double OT.

Feb 08, 2017 02:07 AM #16

@JayHawkFanToo na if it was MU the lights wouldn't be on 50 minutes before the tip.

Feb 08, 2017 02:08 AM #17

@mayjay idk think there are seats that bad in AFH, maybe up in 13a or 9a.

Feb 08, 2017 02:13 AM #18

!DSCN1030.JPG β†— Where I watch LSU games from for 5$. Yes, that's Joel's future teammate Ben Simmons.

Feb 08, 2017 02:15 AM #19

Triple OT!! My wife is sitting there laughing like a drunken leprachaun! At least we can watch on SEC network.

She wanted to stop watching in 2008 with 3 min left but I wouldn't let her. Fortunately, we don't care too much about SC...but leaving a 3 OT game? SHE WILL NEVER LIVE THIS DOWN!

Feb 08, 2017 02:23 AM #20

@wissox dam I wish KU tickets were cheaper but we're gonna pay lol.

Feb 08, 2017 02:25 AM #21

@kjayhawks Looking forward to seeing the Jayhawks in Austin in 2 weeks. 40 bucks a piece is still kind of steep for me, but well worth it.

Feb 08, 2017 02:25 AM #22

@mayjay

Congrats. You have earned yourself major capital...use it wisely or save for the time when she tells you screwed up big time...and yes, that time will come.😟

Feb 08, 2017 02:33 AM #23

@JayHawkFanToo 1st FOUR overtime game in 114 years of SC basketball. New SC individual point scoring record (Thornwell, 44 pts--and counting)..... Maybe we should go back to the arena?

Feb 08, 2017 02:38 AM #24

@mayjay

Why? You have hit the mother load of spousal capital, one more OT and you are in new Harley Davidson territory...let it ride and enjoy it...πŸ˜€

Feb 08, 2017 02:38 AM #25

This maybe the only first game that has taken so long the second game is has 15 minutes left

Feb 08, 2017 02:41 AM #26

@JayHawkFanToo She hasn't let me buy my new car......

Feb 08, 2017 02:43 AM #27

@mayjay yes! U let the whole team down!

Feb 08, 2017 02:43 AM #28

@wissox ya I'm poor folk too lol. I live 2 hours from Lawrence and get to once a year unless I get a steal.

Feb 08, 2017 02:45 AM #29

@mayjay

There you go...new car it is...

Feb 08, 2017 02:47 AM #30

Game over. SC lost.

I am sure local broadcasters will say the usual "And no one has left the arena!" which is, of course, a lie....

We had fun. And we aren't stuck in the parking lot!!!

Feb 08, 2017 02:48 AM #31

@mayjay No one's ever stuck in a parking lot during basketball season in SEC country except at UK.

Feb 08, 2017 02:50 AM #32

@wissox Actually, at UK I think they live in the parking lot.....

Feb 08, 2017 07:17 AM #33

@mayjay

Ya gotta hand it to Frankie: he has competed against Self and KU and Cal and Kentucky and can hold his head up. Frankie likes his Morros y Christianos, platanos maduras fritas, y bistec empanizado con pan Cubano. I hope he gets a summer place down in Cuba and reconnects with the old homestead. I made a lot of jokes about concrete converse and one way boat rides out on Tuttle, but he was a fine coach and he had the get better gene. Rock Chalk Frankie.

@mayjay

JINX!!

Feb 08, 2017 02:55 PM #35

@mayjay

"First place? Where the hell is everyone?"

Probably getting cocked!

Feb 08, 2017 02:57 PM #36

@JayHawkFanToo

"If it was MU you would move to court-side seats…'

You might even get paid to sit low, within range of TV cameras.

I'd ask for more than $5 personally. No way you could force bad basketball on me for less.
