The Official Let's get Mantas and Ramon a special win thread

[ISASO]

My 4-year-old called Higgins a boogerhead. I really couldn't punish him for calling someone a name because, well, it is true. How can you punish a kid for telling the truth?

However, he was a bad influence on the people around him. The 65-year-old man in front of him also called Higgins a boogerhead too.

I should feel bad about this situation, but I really don't. It is what it is and Higgins is a boogerhead. So there you go.

Charming. It certainly sounds like a classic father-son bonding moment.
As time passes, I'm sure you'll look back upon it as a cherished memory. 8)

Did HCGM pull AE out because he was hurting in the first half? He scored those 2 baskets in a row and then was pulled out of the game. After that it seemed like our offense hit the wall and allowed the Trees to catch up. That was also when the refs took over the game with the foul calls.

I feel the same way about "Highlights Higgins" but I did a little research and found out that we are 5 and 1 in games he has officiated this year. Thats a pretty good percentage. I say have him officiate every one of our games and we would have a pretty good record. (just playing)

[pinstripers]

It's hard for me to fathom how anyone could feel that game was well officiated, but I suppose it takes all kinds...............

[SubGod22]

I'd be thrilled if we could get more of Higgins. He's one of the few that I feel very comfortable with doing our games.

I guess I’m ‘one of those kinds’… I sit near the floor and agreed with 90% of the calls last night… Shocker fans, Higgins is BIG TIME whether you want to agree or not! No, I’m not related to him. Let’s face the facts; we’re still a young team and make a lot of silly mistakes. I have a feeling we’ll ***** a lot less next year as the team continues to improve.

I didn't disagree with any calls, I just thought it was poorly officiated.

[WuDrWu]

I believe Higgins is as good as it gets and he is deserving of it. He is unbiased, explains what is going on, has a GREAT attitude, puts up with a lot of crap, and calls a good game.

For whatever reason, most 50/50 calls went against us last night and a couple of those were tough to take.

My opinion is that Sanzere is not on the same level as John but that's just my opinion. I have no reason to question his integrity.

We are going to get a fair shake when Higgins does our game and that's all you can ask for.....and I love that he has done so many of ours this year. Doesn't get any better I promise you.

Makes sense to me (hush Subgod)!

There were a lot of calls that really should have been no calls or they were could have gone either way. The guy guarding Ramon got 2 or 3 calls on him that were pretty darn tickytak and even Dave Dahl said so. I didn't mind because well, they went against the other team.

Anyways, the easiest way to know the game was poorly officiated is to look at the number of free throw shots.

(Of course there are some who would say that when you put a less than capable team on the floor they will compensate by fouling so when you have two of the lower teams in the Valley going at it, you would get a bunch of fouls. But those some who would say that don't know how awesome WSU is and so they can just go

It looks like Pin needs to run for Congress. :D

[pinstripers]

there were 65 foul shots (AYFKM?) and yet Tunnel never fouled out. Both those things are wrong, wrong, wrong.

That's kind of like calling that red car blue, isn't it?????

If you are color-blind, that makes perfect sense! :)
