I'm at the point where I read the first two sentences of UCgrad's nonsense before skipping to the next post. Keep slipping further into irrelevance, UCgrad.

Yet you find it necessary to address a post to Mr. Irrelevant.

How cute, you have a mancrush. You can't quit me.

You got me, Mr. Message Board Therapist. Go ahead, take the last word. It's obvious you're desperate for it.

And, by the way, Ithaca's goal is not to be where Utica was. See, we actually want to win a conference championship. Oh, we already have two regular season titles? I bet we'll need a few more to catch Utica. Errr...

Watching the IC game at Fisher on the web. When I got it on they were down 28-21. I saw the lead jump to ten at one point but Ithaca made a run in the last three minutes or so (can't see the time that well) and have tied it at the half. Looks like Fisher started strong and had a good lead, but IC has got it going. Bostic still suffering from a bad ankle injury, you can see him hobbling around and not running down on the fast breaks.

Oh the irony. I thought you skipped over my posts?

And call me when you get to the sweet 16. Brown wouldn't have even sniffed the Roster on Fisher or Utica's teams of three years ago and he is a key reserve on this team. Great starting lineup, good chemistry, great season so far, but would have finished 3rd in the conference at best just a few years back. They are very similar to the Gordon team that UC beat in the first round of NCAA's that year. They have a good thing going, but need work if they want to go past the first weekend in the tournament. Sorry if that is too much of a blow to your ego.

What did he do to his ankle? That is a terrible place to get injured. I'd rather hurt my knee.

[gobombers15]

Ithaca caps a furious 1st half rally to tie Fisher at 38 going into the locker room. Fisher led 35-23 at one point. Bostic shouldn't be playing, his ankle is obviously bothering him evidenced by the fact he can hardly elevate. They're hiding him at the top of the 2-3 and the 1-3-1.

Typical loser response from the grad of a school with a loser athletic department. A Sweet 16?! GASP! You don't get trophies for making the Sweet 16, but Ithaca does have a couple E8 Hoops trophies with the word "Champions" on it. I'm sure you don't know what an E8 Hoops trophy looks like without the words "Runner-Up" on them. What do they give you for that? A ribbon? A t-shirt?

And, by the way, I find it hilarious that you represent the school in any official capacity, be it running the book or otherwise. Says a lot about the class of Utica College. The way you talk about officials, especially when you allegedly deal with them on a regular basis, and comment on other schools' players and coaches is beyond unprofessional. It's laughable and borderline pathetic.

Bostic sprained his ankle in practice Thursday I believe.

[bombersquadron]

A nice drive and reverse lay-up by Rogers brings Ithaca within 1 point with about 12 left to play. Burton got hot to start the second half but cooled off. A lot of three pointers being shot by both teams.

I told you that you couldn't quit me.

I'd take a run to the sweet 16 over a conference regular season championship any day of the week. You would too if you knew what it felt like to do the former rather than the latter. The banner that says Sweet 16 NCAA tournament 23-7 in the rafters is much nicer than a trophy sitting in a case. The reason being, you have to do more to get it. Put that team with Bryant and Cichon in this years league, they probably don't lose a single game. Fisher just happened to be an even better team that year. And outside your bubble, most of ny state sees all of Ithaca as nothing but bleeding heart liberal arrogant mouthbreathers (even had a crack about it on SNL just last week). You do little to combat the stereotype.

There has only been one official that I have talked about being bad at his job. Others I have often complimented on being some of the best around. One that did the IC UC game the other day is probably the best in all of D3. As for coaches, I wasn't aware that just one page ago when I talked about the IC assistants being very capable I was saying something unprofessional and offensive. As for the players, I take it you are talking about the Brown not being a factor on teams from the past comment. Did that say he was a bad player? No. It does say that he isn't talented enough to beat out the bigs from teams that have actually accomplished something beyond a good regular season.

Thats not good. I'd rather have a small fracture than a sprain there. It is tough playing on that. I'm surprised he is playing tonight. Rest is the only way for those to heal, unless there is some tearing, in which case reconstructive surgery on an ankle is hell.

I should have gotten this one on E8 tv tonight.

LOL. Pot, meet kettle.

[bombersquadron]

St. John Fisher, either have the play by play people give them time more often or point the camera at the scoreboard during time-outs. About six minutes left, a Fisher player (Jordan Gettings) just hit a shot to put them up 1-point.

Burton just hit a deep three, now Ithaca is up four. I think the Fisher female annoucer has a crush on Burton.

2:30 left, IC up three.

Yeah, kind of the same. Except that I don't represent the school in any way. Nor do I claim to. So, actually, not the same at all. And the whole "you can't quit me" thing would have much more effect if you didn't give me 500 words each time I made a valid point that you can't refute (which is just about all of them).

[bombersquadron]

Burton makes a cross court pass to a wide open Leahy for three. Then next time down the run the clock down and five with seconds left on the shot clock Brendan Rogers drives and gets an and one, hits the free throw, to put Ithaca up 71-62 with a minute left.
