DRU ... I'll hve to watch the video. We're you being double-teamed?

[dogsrus]

You still have your...pride?

You still have your smoker table though...

Pride has been temporarily taken away and just got a call from the ISC.....my table "rights' have been suspended for one year.

[dogsrus]

dogs -- you came closer than I would have....I was already thinking of a contingency had my name been called....
...prob. would have had my son toss it, but they had prestated rules..

"Hoopla Half-Court Shot restrictions: Anyone who has played or coached
professional or semi-professional basketball at anytime or played or coached
basketball at the high school, junior college, college or Olympic level within
the last five (5) years will be ineligible to attempt the Hoopla Half-Court Shot."

When he was going over the rules I told em....I WAS on the 72 olympic team but we refused our medals. He looked at me with a puzzled look, sheepishly laughed, and then moved on.

WHat was kinda cool is you often hear fans asking players..."did the crowd noise bother you"...while it was a smallish crowd I heard NOTHING during the shot but after I let it go I heard the collective groan when it was painfully obvious it was woefully short.

And again....I loved the players (mens and womens) genuine excitement for not only me but ALL the events last nite. EVERY single player got off the bench to high five me when it really had nothing in it for them....AW especially said...wait wait....and gave me some good luck hand shake.

I can still see DSE's big smile and the rest of the guys words of encouragement.

You gotta love it when its not all me..me....which this generation always gets accused of.

Now about that horrible shot....

Just gotta a call from Hilton Head...yeah its reached all the way down there allready. Our golfing/travelling buddy is down there at the airport waiting to pickup the San Fran Homeless mans photo taker

He shared a great story...many years agao he was in the BU dash-for-cash when you ran the court in your stocking feet and retrieved one dollar bills with a shovel. You had to bring them the length of the court without a second hand to hold them in the shovel.

When they counted the money after the alloted time some 70 y/o women ousted him by three dollars.

He says he STILL gets cr@p to this date about it.....he told me, now everytime there is a half court shot contest you'll freeze up start sweating and people will give you grief...


So I got THAT going for me.

That's a great story. I can picture it. I, for one, am confident you would have nailed a second shot if they had let you take it. And a 50% shooting pct from half court ain't bad.

[it's boogie time]

I asked the DJ that actual question......man were they great or what?

I was hoping that Chris Roberts would come out and shoot for you.

I have a new found respect for that 75 foot heave.....He didn't even travel to make it...i did. Of course he IS about 20 some years younger.

I was waiting for them to send Larry Eustachy out to guard you...

Dogs as we know he'd love to post on here but, doesn't seem to be able to. I know he reads these so I hope they both enjoy Hilton Head but I hope he loses all his quarters.

[real fan]

I wasn't there to witness dogs but this doesn't have the same repercussions as in golf when the drive doesn't make it to the ladies tee does it?

It should have.

[BradleyJD]

Ok...OK...let me have it.

Dogs, you saved me from owing a beer! TY

[AZ BU Fan]

DRU, unfortunately I wasn't there.

Sounds like you must of been fouled on the shot, right?

Had to have been fouled!

No way you couldn't have at least hit rim or backboard untouched.....

Tell me it was a missed call and you got shafted...MVC regular season refs I bet?

You would have made the three free throws right ??????

Was it true you were going to buy everyone on the Forum who was legal a beer with your $10,000 if you had made the shot or the three free throws?

[Air Petey]

I know what you are going thru..... (Please see "Shot clock violation at the 2010 MVC Championship"). At least I got my 'putt" there and then some!! I sure it was a blast for you!!

See ya soon. GO BRAVES
