uc 45-
id say either cavallos or killabrew wings...
Varick were great - but have fallen off a bit.
How was the game?

When I hit up the Varick, I know the owner so he hooks us up with wings made the way they used to, instead of the mass produced process they do now  .

Game was good. UC really should have won and didn't do themselves any favors. After the game you could see the positive attitude of the team, knowing that they were the better team and a sense of eagerness to get back on the court for the next game. Hamilton is a quality team and UC learned a lot from this game, especially the young guys. The game was very entertaining.

Good for UC for playing a tough non-conference schedule in a year they know they are going to be good.  Too many college coaches take the cupcake walk trying to get that undefeated number.

UCGrad, is Bryant playing? (I know he has played a few games...right?)

He is playing. The whole issue isn't as cut and dry as it sounds when reading it. He dropped 23 last night.

Glad to hear it.  I don't know what he did but really don't care.  As a fan, I want to see the good players play.  Maybe that is what happens when you grow up watching Bobby Bowden and Steve Spurrier manage player discipline.

I'm glad to see him playing as well. He is a good guy, jokes around a lot, and sometimes it gets him in trouble. Overall, he does a lot for the community and is a good guy to be around.

Hope that Ray gets that whole situation fixed.

UC Grad,

I didn't see the game but it sounded like on the radio that TK took it to Bryant in the second half. Outscored him and outplayed him. And I think if you want to talk about meeting later in the year, the guards for Hamilton will be more developed and I think you would get similar results. I don't understand how you can say after losing by four that playing again would result in a 19 point difference? Now if you had a player suspended for say picking up a prostitute and didn't play then you might have an argument. Otherwise take your lose and carry on.

Hmmm a Hamilton fan?  That is something new.

I'm not sure how someone that wasn't at the game can reach a conclusion like this. I'm perfectly fine with the "lose". It's the end of the season that this team will show what it can do.

Hamilton got lucky that UC missed several lay ups after making the D look silly with quality passes. Hamilton had 0 offensive boards in the second half and was beaten in assists 20-8. UC dominated every aspect of the game, but missed shots they usually make. I give Hamilton props for staying in the game and playing hard. They are a tough team that you need to play your game to beat, and UC simply did not play their game the entire time. The stretch of 6 consecutive missed uncontested lay ups was the difference in the game. As it was, both teams made the same amount of Field Goals and 3's, and the difference in score came from the FT line.


I was rather annoyed at listening to the Hamilton coach whine to the refs about not getting the same amount of FT attempts as UC. The first time he did it, both teams had attempted 3. The second time he did it, UC had taken 1 more, and the last time he did it Hamilton had actually taken more. He was pretty cool and gracious after the game though, understanding they survived a tough one. UC is a deeper team with more talent overall. It is always a fun matchup that no matter what the teams look like, either one could win.

Steve. You confused me for a second because the owners of the winery where I used to work were named Steve and Michelle.

My good friend came up from Florida for his wedding and he used to be a regular there as well. We got hooked up with 60 wings on a night they weren't even making them and they even refilled the old beer bones and giant mugs that they dont use anymore for us. We were also told the recipe for the wings, but still can't get them to be the same.
