Enough of the small talk....It's game night! And not just ANY game night, we've got the GOW at Glennie Gym (I'll leave the week vs. weak jokes to you knuckleheads....). Yes, the nation's best 5-15 team hosts the nation's worst 1-18 team. But throw the records out the window, as I'm sure this will be a typical War on Hwy 34. Good luck to the Good Guys (aka the Frosh/Sophs)!

Go Scots! Make like the Illini a couple days ago and snap the streak!

Good to see you at the game OBC, and hope you're fully recovered.

Roop, Beloit played like it was a football game. Reminded me of the IC team 5-6 years back. The reffing was pretty bad. Should have been 4-5 foul outs, not 3. Sorry.

Playing basketball like it was a football game? Hmmm....sounds like a unique system to me

Better Durple than Purple!

Weather shouldn't be an issue today so LU has no excuses to not come down and ask Americas Team for autographs.

Not sure about the rest of the conference this year but I've decided Beloit is a planet in the Hoth system. I saw tauntaun tracks just the other day.

Mr Roop--just checking in--will the game be on ESPN or do I need to resort to MWC-TV on my phone during my client dinner?

The Roop · February 12, 2014, 12:43:08 PM

You'll have to do MWC-TV. Although the game will be replayed on Animal Planet when Lawrence announces their new mascot as the rented mules.

LU has been dealing with a sick coach--DePagter did not make the trip to IC last weekend. Maybe you should stop by the bench to see if they need any help. If they come out in the 1-3-1 trap zone, I'll know you were involved.

The Roop · February 12, 2014, 04:51:31 PM

Trips right z x 47 Omaha. If you see that, then you know I was involved.

We are having cocktails with my clients and they decided that they wanted to watch the game online with me, so we set up my PC in the bar. They think the gym in Beloit reminds them of Assembly Hall. Do the folks up top need a sherpa or is that just the camera angle?

Defense is optional tonight in Beloit. With 12 minutes to go in the first half, Beloit leads 22-21.

AppletonRocks · February 12, 2014, 06:52:57 PM

Still Grinnellian in its scoring, the Vikes leads Belwah 35-30 with 7:20 remaining in the first half.

AppletonRocks · February 12, 2014, 07:02:27 PM

55-40 LU with still 2 minutes left in the half. Roop needs to engage the Flood Fanatics to turn the tide.

AppletonRocks · February 12, 2014, 07:04:58 PM

58-43 LU with Siebert tossing in 23 in the first half. Gotta be a woman involved.

AppletonRocks · February 12, 2014, 07:39:49 PM

Those "rented mules" are scoring at a record pace.

AppletonRocks · February 12, 2014, 08:02:44 PM

The battle on the high seas--well maybe on the Rock River--is won by the Vikings over the Bucaneeers 97-83. Lawrence was up by 20 plus with 5 minutes to go decides to back off, starts to clear the bench, and BC begins to press and call timeouts. Interesting. Wish they'd have went for 120.
