i am recording this for posterity
Gt just took 6 shots in one possession, 2 of which were 3’s.

Not watching tonight
shitty hotel has no U. From the looks of the comments above, maybe that’s a good thing.
getting better
We are down by 3. They are killing us on the boards and that is the difference. Considering the rebounding margin (16-8, and they have 8 offensive boards) we are doing awesome.

OK, just found a Fox and Hound 3 miles down the road.
Our luck will change in the 2nd half, Famous is on the scene.
Amazing we're just down 4, as shitty as we've played
Again, the tournament talk is silly. We’re simply not a tournament team.
i love cj wilson
Maybe this game will turn me gay after all

I'm gonna be a one-man bitch-fest here
Can’t shoot.
Won’t rebound.
Handling the ball like it’s coated in razor blades.
Thank God for CJ.
Holy mother of God, we tied it – that’s an embarrassment for the entire ACC.
Really need Wood to heat up
Holy shit – Alex Johnson hits the clutch J to take the lead.
More amazing still… we had a possession where Alex & Calvin each handled it twice… and we didn’t jack up a bad shot… and we scored. Mark it down…
fucking shit motherfucker
about time we take a lead.

up 2 now
D intensity really picking up. Kelvin is playing his ass off right now.
by TVP on Feb 9, 2012 7:41 PM EST via iPhone app reply actions
Calvin finally showing signs of effort
God, he’s a headcase.
We still can’t just grab a fucking loose ball. That will be the end of us tonight. 2 more offensive rebounds… and so Tech gets the last shot of the half.
I am really impressed with Calvin
Tons of rebounds and goin aggressively for steals.
CJW playing well on offense.
Alex Johnson actually made a jumper.
That about does it for positives.

up 2 at half
what a turd of a half
by ginger avenger on Feb 9, 2012 7:43 PM EST via mobile reply actions
That's the worst fucking effort I've ever seen for a halftime lead...
I don’t give a shit if we’re winning – I’m pissed.
Then I realize – we’re not going dancing anyway, so it’s all trivial.
jeez dude.
Are you drunk or just depressed? (i am drunk)

Dino coached for 29 years????????
Who the hell kept him employed for 29 cumulative years???? I need to go into coaching…
i cant hear him...
But I imagine he sound like the shittiest Italian impression ever. “i-uh like-uh basketball-uh. Bellisimo!”
by PackMentality on Feb 9, 2012 7:49 PM EST via mobile up reply actions
I can't keep track of what's good anymore
Winning is good. Losing is bad. Everything else is too complicated.
By the way – three f’ing McD’s AA’s? Wow…
by wolfonthehill on Feb 9, 2012 7:57 PM EST up reply actions
This would be better with liveblog
Fuck, I get so tired of us failing on tip follows – why the fuck won’t we just grab it????
And where the fuck is Lo’s head tonight?
Did I read something this week about good FT defense?
I don’t know why they even let Steven write on this blog. The man’s an idiot – somebody call security.
I'm just going to pretend GT is a bad matchup for us or something.
I’m fine with barely winning.
If you disagree with my opinion, I will take it personal and hate you forever.
Scott with the ball handling & the harm
I said ball handling – that was cool – heh-heh…
Shit – he missed it….. ah well…..
I'm thinking that Wood missed FT is the turning point the wrong way
Hope I’m wrong. I’m always ready for shit to go wrong…
No, not you
I will never believe it. You are a beacon of hope for all of us.
more beer please
I am relieved in a way.
by PackMentality on Feb 9, 2012 8:06 PM EST via mobile reply actions
please provide howell with the memo
dictating that he never shoot 3s. Thanks
by ginger avenger on Feb 9, 2012 8:08 PM EST via mobile reply actions
I remember him wanting to be part of his arsenal his freshman year.
If you disagree with my opinion, I will take it personal and hate you forever.
lmao
“Honest effort” is such a back-handed compliment.
If you disagree with my opinion, I will take it personal and hate you forever.
bullshit!
Giant white dudes just fall for no reason. Sometimes
by PackMentality on Feb 9, 2012 8:12 PM EST via mobile reply actions
Hate to be picky - since we're winning - but damn, we should be beating these shitty guys by 20
And God, Calvin gets no calls – that was either a foul or off them
"Harshness that basketball ability"
aka “Stop being such a dumbass.”
If you disagree with my opinion, I will take it personal and hate you forever.
Harshness?
I’m assuming a typo, but it seems like there is some real possibility here – “Don’t you try to harshness on my ability!”
I meant "harness" indeed
If you disagree with my opinion, I will take it personal and hate you forever.
a solid 5-10 pt run would be nice
by ginger avenger on Feb 9, 2012 8:17 PM EST via mobile reply actions
Got your wish - for Ga Tech
That was a blatant fucking walk – before any foul – and the foul was a play on the ball.
These “Flagrant-1” and “Flagrant-2” rules are horseshit….
by wolfonthehill on Feb 9, 2012 8:20 PM EST up reply actions
how was that flagrant 1????
bullshit
by ginger avenger on Feb 9, 2012 8:20 PM EST via mobile reply actions
aimed for the ball
pretty much called it based on the reaction
If you disagree with my opinion, I will take it personal and hate you forever.
but seriously
No more 3’s AJ
by PackMentality on Feb 9, 2012 8:23 PM EST via mobile up reply actions
Alex Johnson made a three?
Wahoo.
If you disagree with my opinion, I will take it personal and hate you forever.
As I said earlier in the week, Alex Johnson should be shooting more
Always listen to internet message board experts
I've come to realize something from my time here at BTP
I really like expressing myself by saying “fuck”, “fucking”, and “fucked” here. Thanks for that, Steven….
that confused me as well
If you disagree with my opinion, I will take it personal and hate you forever.
You do usually know best when you say that
And I have to admit to feeling like we got this…. unless we take stupid fucking shots and fail to try on the defensive glass.

i have learned to trust my drunken intuition
by PackMentality on Feb 9, 2012 8:27 PM EST via mobile up reply actions
Everytime he says "honest effort" I cringe.
It sounds so condescending.
If you disagree with my opinion, I will take it personal and hate you forever.
Totally agree
Kinda like getting a “Bless your heart” from a southern woman…

Leslie was pretty sure he got called for a travel there.
If you disagree with my opinion, I will take it personal and hate you forever.
fucking turned the ball over 4 times in one possession
essentially
by ginger avenger on Feb 9, 2012 8:29 PM EST via mobile reply actions
Is that the inverse of that 1st half possession where GT got 5 off.rebounds?
How do you figure TO % in a situation like that?
I would actually love to watch BC in the MAC.
If you disagree with my opinion, I will take it personal and hate you forever.
I would not watch them, Sam I Am
I will not watch them in the MAC, I will not watch them in the WAC. I will not watch them here, or there, I will not watch them anywhere.
I'm feeling good about it... don't bother me with the logistics
Holy shit – Howell has a pulse!!!!!!!!!
by wolfonthehill on Feb 9, 2012 8:32 PM EST up reply actions
haha...now they are playing the "no home court " card
philips arena is damn near in sight of gt’s campus
by ginger avenger on Feb 9, 2012 8:34 PM EST via mobile reply actions
Are you really allowed to go up, get stuffed, come back down, and then retain possession?
Thought that was a held ball.
GT plays decent free throw defense
by ginger avenger on Feb 9, 2012 8:37 PM EST via mobile reply actions
Thanks for using your powers for good
But you also weren’t worried about any number of football games this year that should’ve been easy wins.
Just sayin’…. ;-)
by wolfonthehill on Feb 9, 2012 8:40 PM EST up reply actions
But what are you?
Drunk, I’m guessing. Which beats worried.
Not drunk yet
Still on 1st bottle of kick-ass wine

Come on guys
Up by 4 against our new Arch Rival with under 4 minutes to play…get with Rivalry Week
wolfonthehill needs an intervention
The ncstateshit has taken over his life
by PackMentality on Feb 9, 2012 8:42 PM EST via mobile reply actions
he's full of ncstateshit
If you disagree with my opinion, I will take it personal and hate you forever.
Wholeheartedly agree
I’m consumed by ncstateshit
by wolfonthehill on Feb 9, 2012 8:44 PM EST up reply actions
we are all
but a few nc state shits from having it happen to all of us
by ginger avenger on Feb 9, 2012 8:44 PM EST via mobile up reply actions
zo and kelvin step up
Pretty sure kelvin walked there
by TVP on Feb 9, 2012 8:44 PM EST via iPhone app reply actions
Wow, Sir Macrobeard got bailed out...
… on a shot that reminded me of the shit the kids throw up in my boy’s 9-10 year old league.
I think if we get over 60 we are safe
by TVP on Feb 9, 2012 8:49 PM EST via iPhone app reply actions
minnesota tied it with a minute left
by PackMentality on Feb 9, 2012 8:49 PM EST via mobile reply actions
go golden golphers go
If you disagree with my opinion, I will take it personal and hate you forever.
Shit - Scott shoulda hit that one
And shouldn’ta hit the shooter on the other end.
This is the only way we can lose – stupidity.
So a question
When we KNOW they’re gonna foul, why would we not just put it in Scott’s hands and leave it there????
Yep - that's it
Doesn’t have to be pretty. Would strongly prefer it – but 4 road W’s? Would never have projected that.
Wouldn’t have projected losing to both Tech & UVa at home, either…
by wolfonthehill on Feb 9, 2012 8:57 PM EST up reply actions
GT eFG% - 33.1
Sweet mother of God, that was awful
How could we possibly go 6-2 on the road and not make the NCAA?
I totally get it, but who would ever have predicted that?
when I say we got this we got this
by PackMentality on Feb 9, 2012 9:03 PM EST via mobile reply actions
They're proudly following in the footsteps...
… of Cam Bennerman, Kenny Inge, and Damon Thornton.
by wolfonthehill on Feb 9, 2012 9:05 PM EST up reply actions
So I have to say it
If either Ga Tech doesn’t go bat-shit-hot against us at the RBC… or if we don’t take a rear ramming against UVa at the RBC… we’re in 1st by ourselves right now… 10 games in.
Of course… I honestly see no way we win more than 1 of the next 3 (FSU)… with a 3-game losing streak most likely.
Ah well – let’s enjoy it…
Is it just me?
Or has WOTH gotten increasingly bitter as of late? I mean, I know you were always a little pessimistic, but dude, I’m starting to worry. Everything Ok up there?
