This is the reason why I didn't go.... I had to pick one game this weekend to go to.

I picked the last home game for the football team and I spent all day at Gillette.... didn't want to have two days in a row away from the fam. I know this might not be a popular choice but wanted to get our last tailgate in and maybe see a rare win.

Doubt many other people had to make the same decision as I but figured there could be some.

Also, I know many people that base their life around the NFL. RedZone has made people glued to their television.... Instant updates about their fantasy teams.

One compliment I wanted to make was for Trey Davis. For the second time that I have seen he gave the up fake beyond the arc. Got the defender airborne. Then went up and created contact to get to the line for 3 free throws. I remember a guy from Xavier did this to us last year and I dont know if that is where he picked it up or if someone is coaching him on it but it is SO effective that everyone should use it.

If anyone wants to send a question in for Coach Kellogg's show tonight go here: http://www.umassathletics.com/ot/ask-coach.html

I see the show is at Pic's Pub in Holyoke. No idea where that is but I guarantee you that Tim Kenney will sample their fries and wings. #UMassNCAA2013

As you jealously look on from behind the dark shadows of depravation!

If you were aware of the medical issues SignMan has had the last year or year and a half you would not make that kind of a post.

Thanks...you are a good person, with a track record to prove it!

All considered, I am doing A+ now, after five years of issues, seasons commencing 2008 - 2012.

The sad part is that there are people who do lurk behind the shadows of their posts who have not the guts to ever discuss their (?) in person, because they probably do not have the capability to do so...

time to move on from it...

I started a Swampy thread...
maybe he will keep it there, now given the opp.

I don't understand the criticism that gets thrown at SignMan on here...

I don't either.... I don't understand it either.

Some people are just mean..... no need for that.


Glad you are feeling well SignMan.

The dunk made #2 for the weekend on SportsNation (UCF one-handed grab was 1st). Title was "Shades of Vince Carter". "Raphael Poot-ney,... like 8 feet tall ... long.... and lean too. You don't need to take a charge that way."

I looked again, you guys are right....could have been a charge. But, if they had called it, it really wouldn't have mattered.

I am glad the sign guy is feeling better and up to his old antics. Trust me no one on this board is going to be a male model or on the cover of GQ for the best dress so lets leave the way someone looks out of it.

Too funny that people care what someone wears to a basketball game...

What do you want?
A hand-tailored Hong Kong suit with Gucci shoes?

or would a Moses outfit suit you better... :wink:
