Despite bolting out to a 10-0 lead in less than three minutes, MSU finds itself trailing to Alabama 36-29 at intermission.
The Bulldogs 10 of 29 shooting while Alabama is 12 of 30. And eight of those made shots are from 3-point range. Mykal Riley has three treys, while Alonzo Gee and Brandon Hollinger each have two. Riley leads the Tide with 12 points.
Charles Rhodes, who has State’s lone 3-pointer, has scored a team-high 13 points. MSU has won the battle of the boards, 24-16. The Bulldogs also have 10 turnovers, while the Tide has just three.

March 14, 2008 at 6:40 pm |
Oh please, get in the game guys.
March 14, 2008 at 6:40 pm |
We still look cold. Time to build some momentum.
March 14, 2008 at 6:41 pm |
“Charles Rhodes, who has State’s lone 3-pointer” is a phrase that should be heard only slightly less often than “Jarvis Vanardo hits a three”.
March 14, 2008 at 6:42 pm |
Ok my steak was really good but dang it was hard watching the end of the first half, they better pick it up in a hurry
March 14, 2008 at 6:42 pm |
Keep shooting the three if it is open.
March 14, 2008 at 6:44 pm |
Look who is back on a man defense.
March 14, 2008 at 6:44 pm |
Looks like rugby…
March 14, 2008 at 6:44 pm |
dang…we can not get a loose ball
March 14, 2008 at 6:45 pm |
It does seem like Bama is getting all the loose balls, then scores.
March 14, 2008 at 6:47 pm |
What about a 3-2 zone or some sort of press to just change things up if things don’t change?
March 14, 2008 at 6:48 pm |
It doesn’t sounds like our fans are in the game now either.
March 14, 2008 at 6:49 pm |
If we keep this up, this tourney will be over for us just as soon as it started.
March 14, 2008 at 6:50 pm |
This what I get for laughing at Ole Miss last night.
March 14, 2008 at 6:50 pm |
this is frustrating me to the extreme! We dont hustle, we dont hit shots, we foul, and we turn the ball over!!!
If we would just play our game!
ericintupelo, i agree we need to switch up the d, but if we dont execute it doesnt matter what we are in!
come on dawgs!
March 14, 2008 at 6:50 pm |
There’s nothing there for the fans to get into, godllub.
March 14, 2008 at 6:51 pm |
It hurts me to watch this and elgin can’t play defense. He can’t jump
March 14, 2008 at 6:52 pm |
Since the Bulldogs can’t buy a 3-pointer, they’ll get it the old fashion way thanks to a layup and free throw by Jamont Gordon.
March 14, 2008 at 6:53 pm |
Is it just me or is our offense running in slow mo. They’re not moving around, they’re just standing and watching
March 14, 2008 at 6:53 pm |
I guess that’s true, but when the Bama fans start getting this into it, it starts to feel like a road game.
March 14, 2008 at 6:53 pm |
The good news is that the Tide’s 3-point shooting has cooled drastically.
March 14, 2008 at 6:54 pm |
Wow thats sad
March 14, 2008 at 6:55 pm |
This team seems to be a perfect example of a team that hit it’s peak too early. We have not played as well as of late.
March 14, 2008 at 6:55 pm |
Yeah, but our 3’s are non-existent
March 14, 2008 at 6:55 pm |
It’s simple we’re being out-hustled.
March 14, 2008 at 6:55 pm |
Well, I guess this is that other team that shows up occasionally…
March 14, 2008 at 6:55 pm |
JG and CR have to put the team on their backs and roll! 8 pts is a big deficit when you can’t buy a basket
March 14, 2008 at 6:56 pm |
We pull within 6 and then defensive meltdowns kill us. How can we win when we’re not playing with any energy on both ends of the court? We pride ourselves in rebounding and defense and neither are there
March 14, 2008 at 6:56 pm |
We need someone to come off the bench and hit a few threes to stir things up a bit. I think that will get the others going.
March 14, 2008 at 6:57 pm |
THEORY TIME !!!
We are tanking this game as an effort to preserve Mark Gotfried’s job.
That or mass Alien abduction at about the 10 minute mark in the first half.
That’s all I got…
March 14, 2008 at 6:57 pm |
Guys, if State just hits three more of its 3-points, it’s winning. they are just cold.
March 14, 2008 at 6:57 pm |
YES
March 14, 2008 at 6:57 pm |
Was that a three?
March 14, 2008 at 6:57 pm |
FINALLY……A THREE
March 14, 2008 at 6:57 pm |
Finally!
March 14, 2008 at 6:57 pm |
thats one here we go
March 14, 2008 at 6:57 pm |
we’re back
March 14, 2008 at 6:57 pm |
Finally, a 3-pointer a guard – Barry Stewart.
March 14, 2008 at 6:57 pm |
Here We Come
March 14, 2008 at 6:58 pm |
Bout time Stewart!
March 14, 2008 at 6:58 pm |
We might be on to something here
March 14, 2008 at 6:58 pm |
OH YEAH…AND A DUNK
March 14, 2008 at 6:58 pm |
A Sign of LIFE !!!!!!!
That is gonna really give us some confidence
March 14, 2008 at 6:58 pm |
All hail our prophet, Double-G.
March 14, 2008 at 6:58 pm |
ok, so we score twice and the announcers are back on our side. I love they way they hedge their bets
March 14, 2008 at 6:59 pm |
HERE WE COME!!!! Let’s get another stop. Look for Bama to drop up a set for Riley or someone else outside. Gotta watch the ball screen.
March 14, 2008 at 6:59 pm |
I’m like the 3-point shooting tonight. I’m right 2 out of 15 times, which the Bulldogs are right now beyond the arc.
March 14, 2008 at 6:59 pm |
The aliens who abducted our team at around the 10 minute mark have returned them.
Thank you aliens, in return we would like to offer you the Clinton and Obama Campaigns.
March 14, 2008 at 7:00 pm |
and now, the crowd is back into it.
March 14, 2008 at 7:01 pm |
If somebody hits from halfcourt, what can you do?
March 14, 2008 at 7:01 pm |
Could’ve called it o wait I did
March 14, 2008 at 7:01 pm |
And so goes the momentum.
March 14, 2008 at 7:01 pm |
guard him at half-court!
March 14, 2008 at 7:02 pm |
WHAT !!!!
March 14, 2008 at 7:02 pm |
We just can’t get the shots to fall
March 14, 2008 at 7:02 pm |
No one is hitting the boards offensively.
March 14, 2008 at 7:02 pm |
Riley is making me nervous… SWEEP THE LEGS !!!
March 14, 2008 at 7:04 pm |
Man I wish he would have hit that
March 14, 2008 at 7:04 pm |
Complete BS
March 14, 2008 at 7:04 pm |
NO WAY WAS THAT A CHARGE
March 14, 2008 at 7:05 pm |
Haven’t seen Rick that red in the face in a while
March 14, 2008 at 7:05 pm |
Defender never set up
March 14, 2008 at 7:05 pm |
I told you guys about that officiating crew
March 14, 2008 at 7:05 pm |
Bull crap, terrible call
March 14, 2008 at 7:05 pm |
That’s bullsh*t! NO way that was offensive
March 14, 2008 at 7:05 pm |
NO !!!! HORRIBLE CALL !!!! HORRIBLE !!!!
March 14, 2008 at 7:05 pm |
Bammer has the refs on payroll
March 14, 2008 at 7:05 pm |
BS call
March 14, 2008 at 7:05 pm |
Maybe we should put Benock in.
March 14, 2008 at 7:05 pm |
They missed that call….
March 14, 2008 at 7:06 pm |
We’re playing two teams, Bammer & the refs
March 14, 2008 at 7:06 pm |
BULL DUNG !
March 14, 2008 at 7:06 pm |
Benock can hit but has no handles at all. They press or double him, he’ll turn it over every time. Hell of a shooter though
March 14, 2008 at 7:07 pm |
What a horrible call. That’s the kind of call that can swing the momentum in the game. Instead of having a chance to cut the lead to 1, they have a chance to go up 6 or 7.
March 14, 2008 at 7:07 pm |
Oh that was HORRIBLE !!!
March 14, 2008 at 7:07 pm |
Yeah, but a shooter is what we need right now.
March 14, 2008 at 7:07 pm |
even the announcers said he was late setting up
March 14, 2008 at 7:07 pm |
I am surprised they didnt call something on that play
March 14, 2008 at 7:08 pm |
Great play by Gordon!
March 14, 2008 at 7:08 pm |
Gordon use your head on the three’s
March 14, 2008 at 7:08 pm |
Come ON DAWGS !!!
March 14, 2008 at 7:09 pm |
Our shooters have lost their confidence totally…
March 14, 2008 at 7:09 pm |
interesting call to say the least.
March 14, 2008 at 7:09 pm |
So was that last call. Both could have gone either way.
March 14, 2008 at 7:09 pm |
Barry with another turnover. Use your heads!!
March 14, 2008 at 7:10 pm |
Come on Gregg, just interesting…?
March 14, 2008 at 7:10 pm |
These refs are killing us.
March 14, 2008 at 7:10 pm |
This reffin is giving me heartburn
March 14, 2008 at 7:10 pm |
the charge was a horrible call, but we throw the ball away way too often!
March 14, 2008 at 7:10 pm |
If the Bulldogs are going to make a run, now is the time to start thinking about it.
March 14, 2008 at 7:10 pm |
We have about 6 3’s in us !!! We’ve got to find them !!
March 14, 2008 at 7:10 pm |
Need a score
March 14, 2008 at 7:11 pm |
Oh dear lord we cant buy a shot at times and I have given up on them calling a foul on Bama unless they kill one of our players
March 14, 2008 at 7:11 pm |
Way to hustle Jamont. You’re right Gregg, we need a run and a couple of stops would help
March 14, 2008 at 7:12 pm |
JG has decided he is going to take this one on his back…
March 14, 2008 at 7:12 pm |
Someboby is def. gonna get mangled under our goal
March 14, 2008 at 7:12 pm |
JG is trying to do too much…
March 14, 2008 at 7:12 pm |
DEFENSE NOW !!!!
March 14, 2008 at 7:13 pm |
Jamont has team mates
March 14, 2008 at 7:13 pm |
Dumb play by jamont
March 14, 2008 at 7:13 pm |
I am not sure if thats a good thing right now
March 14, 2008 at 7:13 pm |
We need a time out to slow JG down…
March 14, 2008 at 7:14 pm |
That is why Jamont is not ready for the NBA and will never get drafted if he leaves
March 14, 2008 at 7:14 pm |
C’Mon JAMONT !!!!
March 14, 2008 at 7:14 pm |
jamont is playing like he did las tyear….he has got to play smarter
March 14, 2008 at 7:14 pm |
GOOD D !
March 14, 2008 at 7:15 pm |
I’m not gonna have any fingernails left
March 14, 2008 at 7:15 pm |
ARGHHHHHHHH !!!
March 14, 2008 at 7:15 pm |
I didn’t know this was Jamont State University. He seems to think it is! 😀
March 14, 2008 at 7:15 pm |
Every State fan must have a defribulator
March 14, 2008 at 7:15 pm |
who wants to chip in and buy a 3?
March 14, 2008 at 7:16 pm |
Can you say crunch time.
Guys, I’ll say this. Everyone is standing around looking for Jamont to do something. I can’t blame him for trying to take over.
The inside game has disappeared.
March 14, 2008 at 7:16 pm |
Oh to beat Bama Thrice in a year.
March 14, 2008 at 7:16 pm |
Smartest play I’ve seen all year is when he hit Ben for three against south carolina. Just needs to be unselfish at times. We know he’s good but he seems like he has no confidence in his team mates
March 14, 2008 at 7:16 pm |
They just had to play an Ole Miss ad
March 14, 2008 at 7:16 pm |
I do not have a good feeling about this game right now. The bad calls are going to catch up with us I am afraid.
March 14, 2008 at 7:17 pm |
Yeah, he may be making mistakes, but at least he’s trying to make things happen, it just seems like the others are just standing around.
March 14, 2008 at 7:17 pm |
FINALLY… a pass to wide open, all day, Hansbrough. He’s been waving for the ball the entire second half.
March 14, 2008 at 7:17 pm |
I know shouldas and couldas are out, but we should have been developing that bench all year. Our guys are sucking wind and he doesn’t trust anyone sitting over there (Augustus, Johnson etc)
March 14, 2008 at 7:17 pm |
1 point game 3 to go
March 14, 2008 at 7:17 pm |
I agree Greg. Our other guys are “deer in the headlights” today.
Barry has done all the little things though
March 14, 2008 at 7:17 pm |
Yeah he’s trying.
March 14, 2008 at 7:17 pm |
C’mon Dawgs
March 14, 2008 at 7:18 pm |
There you go Ben
March 14, 2008 at 7:18 pm |
alright enough of this crap… Here come the 3’s!!!!!!!
March 14, 2008 at 7:18 pm |
w00t!
March 14, 2008 at 7:18 pm |
Keep shooting Ben
March 14, 2008 at 7:18 pm |
YES!
March 14, 2008 at 7:18 pm |
Finally!!!!!!!!
March 14, 2008 at 7:18 pm |
Ben Hansbrough = Mr. Clutch
March 14, 2008 at 7:18 pm |
FINALLY
March 14, 2008 at 7:18 pm |
BENNNNN !!!!
March 14, 2008 at 7:18 pm |
About damn time
March 14, 2008 at 7:18 pm |
LITTLE BEN with the 3!
March 14, 2008 at 7:19 pm |
BENJAMIN SOMETHING HANSBROUGH !!!!
March 14, 2008 at 7:19 pm |
Rhodes just ripped the rim off in anger
March 14, 2008 at 7:19 pm |
OMG that was one HARD basketball play
March 14, 2008 at 7:19 pm |
I think Rhodes just joined the team.
March 14, 2008 at 7:19 pm |
CHARLIE !!! FRICKIN !!! RHODES !!!
March 14, 2008 at 7:19 pm |
the announcers are loving Meo…she has to wife/cheerleader of the year
March 14, 2008 at 7:19 pm |
You gotta love Rhodes intensity
March 14, 2008 at 7:20 pm |
Charles does not want to lose this one!
March 14, 2008 at 7:20 pm |
I just scared the hell out of all my customers at work. My bad! Great finish Charles
March 14, 2008 at 7:20 pm |
C’MON DAWGS !!!
March 14, 2008 at 7:20 pm |
JG dunks
March 14, 2008 at 7:20 pm |
R u kiding me was that Mike Jourdan
March 14, 2008 at 7:20 pm |
Who is griping about JG now?
March 14, 2008 at 7:20 pm |
nice block that might save the game
March 14, 2008 at 7:20 pm |
YEAH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
March 14, 2008 at 7:20 pm |
gotta score now
March 14, 2008 at 7:21 pm |
crap
March 14, 2008 at 7:21 pm |
MY …. GOSH !!!! J’Money !!!
March 14, 2008 at 7:21 pm |
oh crap, now I am worried
March 14, 2008 at 7:22 pm |
That last turnover really sucked
March 14, 2008 at 7:22 pm |
Oops! Bad time for a turnover.
OK. 20.8 seconds. What’s Bama gonna do?
Wow! Another thrilling finish in this tournament.
March 14, 2008 at 7:22 pm |
DEFENSE
March 14, 2008 at 7:22 pm |
BAD time for a turnover!
March 14, 2008 at 7:22 pm |
I’m kind of tired of thrilling finishes right now
March 14, 2008 at 7:22 pm |
that turnover blew
March 14, 2008 at 7:22 pm |
I won’t change my opinion on Jamont. He’s a great player but not NBA ready. Think they’ll go for the win?
March 14, 2008 at 7:23 pm |
GUARD RILEY !!!!
March 14, 2008 at 7:23 pm |
JG is a beast
but we coulda finished it off, but we committ a to
March 14, 2008 at 7:23 pm |
he walked
March 14, 2008 at 7:23 pm |
I am…He is a great player but he has got to remember this is a team sport. This ain’t shot put..
March 14, 2008 at 7:23 pm |
Reminds me of Vandy
March 14, 2008 at 7:23 pm |
I think we have to foul
March 14, 2008 at 7:23 pm |
Where was the travel???????
March 14, 2008 at 7:23 pm |
somebody call the paramedics. I’m having a stroke
March 14, 2008 at 7:24 pm |
I hope there aren’t any heart patients on here.
All I can say is don’t give up the 3. And REBOUND!!!!!
March 14, 2008 at 7:24 pm |
TRAVEL DANGIT !!!
March 14, 2008 at 7:24 pm |
Defend Riley!!!
March 14, 2008 at 7:24 pm |
Why not foul em’ here? They’ll probably bust a three.
March 14, 2008 at 7:24 pm |
How can you not call travel??????????????????
March 14, 2008 at 7:24 pm |
I think the SEC wants BAMA.
March 14, 2008 at 7:24 pm |
Don’t foul the 3 shooter…
March 14, 2008 at 7:24 pm |
Called a weak travel call on Rhodes in the first half and Riley just slid to the ground. BS refs!!!
March 14, 2008 at 7:25 pm |
yeah he walked with it but I gave up on them giving us a call, well here goes nothing
March 14, 2008 at 7:25 pm |
YES YES
March 14, 2008 at 7:25 pm |
Go Swat!
March 14, 2008 at 7:25 pm |
yes yes yes yes yes, thank you lord
March 14, 2008 at 7:25 pm |
Gonna die young with games like this
March 14, 2008 at 7:25 pm |
This game came down FAST !!!
March 14, 2008 at 7:26 pm |
Swat is a shot blocking MACK DADDY
March 14, 2008 at 7:26 pm |
maroon….white
March 14, 2008 at 7:26 pm |
Swat may have just given us another game in the tourny with that block
March 14, 2008 at 7:26 pm |
147 -8 blocked shots… none have been bigger.
March 14, 2008 at 7:26 pm |
Why is Ben on the line? I would love it but Stewart was the one who got foulded
March 14, 2008 at 7:26 pm |
BEN HANSBROUGH WITH THE BLOCK OUT!!!!!!!
March 14, 2008 at 7:27 pm |
Swat with the PLAY of the game!
March 14, 2008 at 7:27 pm |
I think they are back to being the “cardiac kids”
March 14, 2008 at 7:27 pm |
Sir Swat comes through again.
And note, in the two regular season games against Alabama, he only two total.
March 14, 2008 at 7:27 pm |
I am still not ok unless he makes his free throws and we all know how that has gone for us
March 14, 2008 at 7:27 pm |
That was a bullcrap foul call to save Bama another possession
March 14, 2008 at 7:27 pm |
from 98?
March 14, 2008 at 7:27 pm |
Let Ben shoot it…Thank you Swat!
March 14, 2008 at 7:27 pm |
Come on Barry
March 14, 2008 at 7:27 pm |
one more
March 14, 2008 at 7:28 pm |
Phew!
March 14, 2008 at 7:28 pm |
These are huge. Come on Barry.
March 14, 2008 at 7:28 pm |
And one more before I breathe
March 14, 2008 at 7:28 pm |
That was a MASSIVE block… and he only got his pinky on it.
It helps to have a 8″ pinky.
March 14, 2008 at 7:28 pm |
One clutch FT from Stew!
March 14, 2008 at 7:28 pm |
if he makes the second get off the court
March 14, 2008 at 7:29 pm |
One out of two aint bad, I guess. Stewart hits both and it’s over.
March 14, 2008 at 7:29 pm |
oh lord, they are killing me
March 14, 2008 at 7:29 pm |
Smart coaching Stans….
March 14, 2008 at 7:29 pm |
FOUL if he misses !!!
March 14, 2008 at 7:29 pm |
OK. Should MSU foul to avoid giving up the 3-pointer.
March 14, 2008 at 7:29 pm |
I don’t think I’d foul here.
March 14, 2008 at 7:30 pm |
Let them catch and shoot….no foul
March 14, 2008 at 7:30 pm |
Stewart fouled him and they didn’t call it
March 14, 2008 at 7:30 pm |
I am still not ok with this score
March 14, 2008 at 7:30 pm |
we have the mo, I’d rather play ’em and risk OT.
March 14, 2008 at 7:30 pm |
No 3’s
March 14, 2008 at 7:30 pm |
Choke.
March 14, 2008 at 7:30 pm |
OK. Enough of the timeouts.
March 14, 2008 at 7:30 pm |
dang….come on dawgs!!!!
March 14, 2008 at 7:30 pm |
I say foul but we’ve struggled on the defensive boards on free throws
March 14, 2008 at 7:30 pm |
Stewart is like Gordon…. good and bad this year. Love the guy though…
March 14, 2008 at 7:30 pm |
You have to foul I think, threes at the end of games have been killing us
March 14, 2008 at 7:31 pm |
You always risk founing, he makes it, and we lose.
March 14, 2008 at 7:31 pm |
r u kidding
March 14, 2008 at 7:31 pm |
See what I mean
March 14, 2008 at 7:31 pm |
Like I said, we should foul them
March 14, 2008 at 7:32 pm |
Can u believe it
March 14, 2008 at 7:32 pm |
BULL SPIT
March 14, 2008 at 7:32 pm |
Teams are pretty good at throwing up prayers against MSU in recent weeks.
March 14, 2008 at 7:32 pm |
FOUL HIM DANGIT!!!!!!!
PUT HIS BUTT ON THE FLOOR!!!!!!!!!
March 14, 2008 at 7:32 pm |
Like I said before. You foul, you foul, and foul again. Good call godllub, and bdog13, and Gregg. I swear
March 14, 2008 at 7:32 pm |
Oh well. OT will be good to us. I gotta believe.
March 14, 2008 at 7:32 pm |
C’mon
BEAT BAMA !!!
March 14, 2008 at 7:33 pm |
Craaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaap!!!!!
March 14, 2008 at 7:33 pm |
I still like our chances in OT.
March 14, 2008 at 7:33 pm |
I can, thats why I was saying foul. Well I guess we have a chance to get up on them big in OT and put it away
March 14, 2008 at 7:33 pm |
If only BS could shoot free throws?
March 14, 2008 at 7:33 pm |
They are all looking at the floor, we’ve got to get our heads in to this overtime…
March 14, 2008 at 7:34 pm |
BASIC MATH SKILLS….
2 IS LESS THAN 3…………
March 14, 2008 at 7:34 pm |
I hope they get all of this out of their system before the big tourny.
March 14, 2008 at 7:34 pm |
4 on Varnardo
March 14, 2008 at 7:34 pm |
come on…..looked like all ball
March 14, 2008 at 7:35 pm |
got him with the body
March 14, 2008 at 7:35 pm |
3 on Varnardo. Nice shot Ben.
March 14, 2008 at 7:35 pm |
Yes
March 14, 2008 at 7:35 pm |
Thank you Ben
March 14, 2008 at 7:35 pm |
yes…Ben needed that for his confidence
March 14, 2008 at 7:35 pm |
BEN !!
March 14, 2008 at 7:35 pm |
Unbelivable.
March 14, 2008 at 7:36 pm |
Dang we have had plenty of chances to get it under the goal for a lay up but we seem to overlook that
March 14, 2008 at 7:36 pm |
Well, they had to call that foul
March 14, 2008 at 7:36 pm |
Our achiles heel: FREETHROWS
March 14, 2008 at 7:37 pm |
Free throws once again may kill us.
March 14, 2008 at 7:37 pm |
D FENSE !!!
March 14, 2008 at 7:37 pm |
Another big three may give us the boost that we need to take this game and run
March 14, 2008 at 7:37 pm |
Nado’ was just spent that time
March 14, 2008 at 7:38 pm |
WHAT A GAME !!!
March 14, 2008 at 7:38 pm |
Waiting to exhale…
March 14, 2008 at 7:38 pm |
Who say’s tournaments are all hype now?
March 14, 2008 at 7:38 pm |
Gregg is it loud in there? Are the State fans alive or are they all layed out in the floor receiving medical attention?
March 14, 2008 at 7:38 pm |
Defribulator charged…. check
March 14, 2008 at 7:38 pm |
Yeah I have a stress headache to go with my ref induced heartburn
March 14, 2008 at 7:39 pm |
how many timeouts do we have left, we been calling them very often
March 14, 2008 at 7:39 pm |
I think it’s harder to be a State fan than be a fan of anybody else. I love them buy they’re ruining my health.
March 14, 2008 at 7:40 pm |
STEW !!!
March 14, 2008 at 7:40 pm |
I am with you on that one, my head and heartburn are killing me
March 14, 2008 at 7:40 pm |
What the heck?
March 14, 2008 at 7:40 pm |
what on earth???
March 14, 2008 at 7:40 pm |
Now a tornado, we have no luck
March 14, 2008 at 7:40 pm |
The building is rocking…???
March 14, 2008 at 7:40 pm |
Tornado Warning? WHAT. Gregg, cover your head!!
March 14, 2008 at 7:40 pm |
Gregg whats going on. Tornado?
March 14, 2008 at 7:40 pm |
What a cheap foul on Stewart
God didn’t like it either
March 14, 2008 at 7:41 pm |
This is serious…
March 14, 2008 at 7:41 pm |
Freakin tornado warning
March 14, 2008 at 7:41 pm |
Total Chaos
March 14, 2008 at 7:42 pm |
Gregg whats going on. Tornado hit the stadium
March 14, 2008 at 7:42 pm |
We just lost TV signal
March 14, 2008 at 7:42 pm |
did the Ga dome just get blown away?
March 14, 2008 at 7:42 pm |
Then the signal went Kapooey
March 14, 2008 at 7:43 pm |
If the building is rockin…. don’t bother knockin… SRV!!!
March 14, 2008 at 7:43 pm |
Stay safe Gregg, maybe you will get hazard pay!
March 14, 2008 at 7:44 pm |
If the house is a rockin… don’t bother come on in…. !!!!!
March 14, 2008 at 7:44 pm |
Tornado AMAZING !!!
March 14, 2008 at 7:44 pm |
Geez. My life just passed in front of my eyes. I looked up and the roof was caving in. Stuff flying everywhere. And my heart is about to jump out of my chest.
And now they are telling us to remain calm. Holy cow.
Let’s just say I got right with God really quick.
March 14, 2008 at 7:45 pm |
Wow I would hate to be a player shooting free throws with that happening, Update us fearless leader
March 14, 2008 at 7:45 pm |
wow…. just…. wow
March 14, 2008 at 7:45 pm |
Talk about rockin’ the house!
March 14, 2008 at 7:45 pm |
NWS is reporting a tornado warning for Central Fulton County, at 9:26, it was 6 mi west of Atlanta moving southeast at 35mph
March 14, 2008 at 7:45 pm |
Rest up Varnado!! It’s the Jamont Gordon tornado!!!
March 14, 2008 at 7:46 pm |
This game will go down as being quite memorable
March 14, 2008 at 7:46 pm |
Gregg, take care, the DAWGS have blown the roof off
March 14, 2008 at 7:46 pm |
For my first ever blog experience today, this has been unreal.
March 14, 2008 at 7:47 pm |
I’m amazed people stayed as calm as they did.
March 14, 2008 at 7:47 pm |
Now this would have to be a first in tourny history. God must not have been happy with Bamas kid making that shot to force overtime
March 14, 2008 at 7:47 pm |
Who ever is ahead wins…isn’t that the rule?
March 14, 2008 at 7:47 pm |
And God shouted, “NO WAY BAMMER IS GONNA WIN ANOTHER!” Boom.
March 14, 2008 at 7:47 pm |
Talked to God and he said you’re doing a helluva great job! Hang in there. Seriously.. you’ve got thoughts and prayers from here.
March 14, 2008 at 7:48 pm |
I think this proves it, God is a BULLDOG. This gives our guys a chance to rest and plan.
March 14, 2008 at 7:48 pm |
Either that or the big man is really pissed about us not fouling to end the game
March 14, 2008 at 7:49 pm |
Is Rick out to check on the family?
March 14, 2008 at 7:49 pm |
good point.
March 14, 2008 at 7:50 pm |
Hey Gregg I know you arent worried about this but we have the record for post on a blog now after the stadium being destroyed and us almost throwing this game away
March 14, 2008 at 7:50 pm |
Are these guys frustrated weather men wanna be’s?
March 14, 2008 at 7:50 pm |
10-6 niner we need DICK RICE, stat!
March 14, 2008 at 7:51 pm |
Maybe they will end the game and give us the win! 😀
March 14, 2008 at 7:52 pm |
God is ticked that we didn’t foul Bama! God has heart problems just like us!! He feeeels the pain…. (c:
March 14, 2008 at 7:53 pm |
Amazingly, people have remained calm.
The strange thing was the noise. I thought an airplane was going to come through the roof. Let’s just say I checked my pants to make sure all was clean. Fortunately, it was.
March 14, 2008 at 7:53 pm |
It is a miracle that there was no panic in the Dome… I almost panicked watching and hearing it here on TV in Tupelo
March 14, 2008 at 7:54 pm |
BTW Gregg, you got your 300 comments in just the second half. Did we make you proud?
March 14, 2008 at 7:55 pm |
Pix you told Gregg to cover his head! How the hell is he going to do that? It barely fits in the dome!
March 14, 2008 at 7:55 pm |
Welcome to the final game of the day at the Georgia Dome. Hotdogs half price and free beer
March 14, 2008 at 7:55 pm |
Who ever is ahead wins, isn’t that the rule?
March 14, 2008 at 7:56 pm |
it reminded me of watching the world series when the earthquake hit
March 14, 2008 at 7:57 pm |
Has a basketball game ever been called for weather?
March 14, 2008 at 7:57 pm |
welcome back Farley
March 14, 2008 at 7:57 pm |
Please let us know what you are hearing is going to happen.
March 14, 2008 at 7:58 pm |
I knew the head was vulnurable, big target and all.
March 14, 2008 at 7:58 pm |
Double G, you are hilarious! Man, stay safe and watch out for any more wind “bombs” coming your way.
March 14, 2008 at 7:58 pm |
10 min. then finish the game.
March 14, 2008 at 7:58 pm |
“The safest place you can possibly be is in the Dome”
That got James Cameron’s attention.
March 14, 2008 at 7:59 pm |
My heart rate is about normal now…
March 14, 2008 at 7:59 pm |
if we come out like we did at the beginning of the game, it’s a done deal.
March 14, 2008 at 7:59 pm |
I sure hope so dadawg!
March 14, 2008 at 7:59 pm |
gotta love the instant replay of the weather
March 14, 2008 at 8:00 pm |
This delay means everybody is cold, and it’s anybodys game.
March 14, 2008 at 8:00 pm |
hurry up and sweep the floor and let them warm up so we can beat Bama
March 14, 2008 at 8:00 pm |
Wow! Couldn’t believe what I was seeing when that place started shaking.
March 14, 2008 at 8:00 pm |
GG this is nuts man
March 14, 2008 at 8:00 pm |
gotta love the instant replay of the weather
March 14, 2008 at 8:00 pm |
Not a word about this yet on the news sites, not even ESPN.
March 14, 2008 at 8:01 pm |
Yeah this should be on SportsCenter tonight
March 14, 2008 at 8:01 pm |
Should be doesn’t mean it will though
March 14, 2008 at 8:01 pm |
Probably not, ESPN is probably too busy with the Sun Belt Conference or something.
March 14, 2008 at 8:02 pm |
Sounded like an F-16, I bet Gregg thought he was Maverick in Top Gun there for a minute
March 14, 2008 at 8:02 pm |
I thought the Miller Lite had caught up to me! Cover his head! LOL! Quote of the day!
March 14, 2008 at 8:02 pm |
how funny was it that Brando did the John Madden with screen art
March 14, 2008 at 8:02 pm |
Thats true. State could win the National Championship and they would do a bigger story on the team that lost
March 14, 2008 at 8:03 pm |
If UNC or Duke was involved in this they’d already have the script for an “Outside the Lines” or “SportsCentury”
March 14, 2008 at 8:03 pm |
I can see the headlines, Bama forces overtime, pisses God and Charles Rhodes off, Dogs win by 5 after thirty minutes off.
March 14, 2008 at 8:03 pm |
Yeah his Ripple drawing looked Nice
March 14, 2008 at 8:05 pm |
Thanks, Judwe, I was trying to add something clever, and nothing would come to me, that was the finish I was looking for.
March 14, 2008 at 8:07 pm |
Well, the house is a rockin’ don’t bother knockin’
Yeah, the house is a rockin’ don’t bother knockin’
Yeah, the house is a rockin’ don’t bother come on in
Kick off your shoes start losin’ the blues
This old house ain’t got nothin’ to lose
Seen it all for years start spreadin’ the news
We got room on the floor come on baby shake sumpin’ loose
Well, the Dawgs is a rockin’ don’t bother knockin’
Yeah, the Dawgs is a rockin’ don’t bother knockin’
Yeah, the Dawgs is a rockin’ don’t bother come on in
Walkin’ up the street you can hear the sound,
of some bad A Bulldogs really layin’ it down
They’ve seen it all for years and got nothin’ to lose,
so get down on the floor shimmy ’til you shake sumpin’ loose!!
GO DAWGS!!! FINISH BAMA!!!!
Thank you SRV
March 14, 2008 at 8:08 pm |
At least we didn’t have a Texas Flood.
March 14, 2008 at 8:08 pm |
Talkin’ about killin’ time … interviewing the cameraman…
Who repeats what they’ve been saying for half an hour… classic !!
March 14, 2008 at 8:09 pm |
Yeah, tell the camera man to go out and smoke a joint.
March 14, 2008 at 8:10 pm |
Do you think GEE is sufficiently “iced” on his free throws ? LOL! I hope !!
March 14, 2008 at 8:11 pm |
Kentucky is going to be TIRED Tommorow !!!
March 14, 2008 at 8:11 pm |
IF I was Stans, I’d call a TO as soon as he stepped up for the first one.
March 14, 2008 at 8:12 pm |
Gee is at the line? I thought that last foul was on them.
March 14, 2008 at 8:13 pm |
Bully shoots free-throws just like a bulldog …unfortunately
March 14, 2008 at 8:15 pm |
No. there was a crappy call on Barry… and God didn’t like it either… ring a bell?
March 14, 2008 at 8:16 pm |
It’s easy to say the Dome is the safest place until you look up and the scoreboards are shaking, glass from light bulbs is falling and the roof is actually shaking and shedding. Yeah, real safe.
March 14, 2008 at 8:19 pm |
Well, at least you could go take a pee break. To bad PA wasn’t there with. I would have loved to have seen John Candy trying to get out of the Dome!
March 14, 2008 at 8:19 pm |
Official ESPN report…
Atlanta (ESPN)- During overtime of a hotly contested SEC tournament game between the Alabama Crimson Tide and the Mississippi State Rebels a Tornado struck the Georgia Dome facility… could you imagin if this was a Duke/UNC game or a Ohio State/ Michigan Football game?
end report

I for one am real happy you’re safe. God forbid if we had to suffice for reading the GARBAGE on Farley’s blog, should you have been killed 🙂
March 14, 2008 at 8:21 pm |
OK, your no longer a dirty bastard pix!
March 14, 2008 at 8:22 pm |
Anyone remember the game situation when this started? Other than 2:11 on clock. Possesion? FTs?
March 14, 2008 at 8:23 pm |
When they showed that “ripple effect” shot for the 4th time, my four year old said “Daddy did you see that sh*t” I couldn’t get mad…
March 14, 2008 at 8:24 pm |
Alabama’s Gee will be going to the foul line for two, cheap call on Barry, Tim Brando mumbling incoherently.
That’s about it.
March 14, 2008 at 8:24 pm |
Gee is up to shoot FT’s with 2:11 after a foul by Rhodes
March 14, 2008 at 8:25 pm |
I thought the call was on Barry
March 14, 2008 at 8:26 pm |
Does anyone remember when Lee Corso’s rental car got hit by lightning during a thursday night game at VA Teck… talking about poetic justice.
March 14, 2008 at 8:26 pm |
tech, sorry
March 14, 2008 at 8:27 pm |
Why couldn’t something have fell on that bald headed bastard?
March 14, 2008 at 8:27 pm |
The closest thing I could find to mention of this on ESPN’s main page was “Stewart Apologizes to Tire Workers”. Stewart might need to apologize to the front edge of the rim, but I can’t understand what tire workers have to do with anything.
March 14, 2008 at 8:28 pm |
judwe, that was great. I almost sharted when I read that.
March 14, 2008 at 8:28 pm |
Gregg, can’t wait to read your articles tomorrow. Or will it be Sunday?
March 14, 2008 at 8:29 pm |
He’s had plenty of time to write during this break
March 14, 2008 at 8:30 pm |
true, I wondered about deadline
March 14, 2008 at 8:30 pm |
Color Photo deadline is 10:20 at the Djournal, not sure about story deadlines, I just take pix.
March 14, 2008 at 8:31 pm |
I’m hearing there is a lot of damage outside. Trees down, cars destroyed and the roof severely damaged the roof on the Phillips Center, where the Hawks and Thrashers play. Heck, you guys probably know more than me.
Anyone see CNN or Headline News.
March 14, 2008 at 8:31 pm |
YAY warmups
March 14, 2008 at 8:32 pm |
hallelujah…let’s get this done
March 14, 2008 at 8:32 pm |
COME OUT HOT DAWGS !!!
March 14, 2008 at 8:33 pm |
The damage outside that they showed looked like strong winds. CNN is saying anything.
March 14, 2008 at 8:33 pm |
Dave Baker now informs us it “Might have been a Tornado”
Ya’ think?
March 14, 2008 at 8:33 pm |
isn’t saying anything rather
March 14, 2008 at 8:35 pm |
At least Jarvis won’t be so winded so that’s a good thing
March 14, 2008 at 8:35 pm |
I’m disappointed but not surprised.
The RayCom crew totally BLEW any chance it had at an EMMY.
March 14, 2008 at 8:36 pm |
Does Jarvis have 3 or 4 fouls… back in the day…?
March 14, 2008 at 8:36 pm |
Three
March 14, 2008 at 8:37 pm |
3 on jarvis
March 14, 2008 at 8:37 pm |
This just in…. There is damage to the Dome.
March 14, 2008 at 8:37 pm |
LOL, Roll that ripple footage, Dave.
March 14, 2008 at 8:39 pm |
LOL !!!!
March 14, 2008 at 8:39 pm |
Gregg if your article says anything like “I’ve been in this business a long time and seen a lot of things, but nothing like this” Or, “It sounded like a tornado, I’ve heard a tornado” I will have to hurt you.
March 14, 2008 at 8:40 pm |
At least my body has had time to calm down a little and I am not throwing stuff around in my house. My living room was starting to look like the parking lot over there. My wife had the same look on her face as the players when it all went down.
March 14, 2008 at 8:42 pm |
Lets get started on the right foot. I’m so freakin nervous and sick to my stomach
March 14, 2008 at 8:43 pm |
ICE BABY !!!
March 14, 2008 at 8:43 pm |
Just think, if Hansbrough had fouled Riley, we would have missed all the fun!
March 14, 2008 at 8:43 pm |
In all that time I forgot to go PEE !!! ^&(*%(%*
March 14, 2008 at 8:44 pm |
ICE LOL !!!
March 14, 2008 at 8:44 pm |

March 14, 2008 at 8:46 pm |
BEN ? BUELLER ?
March 14, 2008 at 8:46 pm |
that was a bogus foul
March 14, 2008 at 8:46 pm |
weak foul
March 14, 2008 at 8:46 pm |
This 33 sec will last 5 min.
March 14, 2008 at 8:46 pm |
here we go, free throws will either win it for us or send us home early
March 14, 2008 at 8:47 pm |
Big free throws
March 14, 2008 at 8:47 pm |
sigh…. how long is it til I get to pee?

March 14, 2008 at 8:47 pm |
No block out!!!
March 14, 2008 at 8:48 pm |
I hate this part of Basketball, all the fouls and timeouts in the last seconds
March 14, 2008 at 8:48 pm |
Free throws…
March 14, 2008 at 8:48 pm |

March 14, 2008 at 8:51 pm |
Barring a miracle
March 14, 2008 at 8:51 pm |
Mr. Clutch just missed two huge free throws.
March 14, 2008 at 8:51 pm |

March 14, 2008 at 8:53 pm |

March 14, 2008 at 8:53 pm |
Boy we dodged a bullet there. And a ‘Nader.
March 14, 2008 at 8:53 pm |
Holy Sh*t that was too close!! We almost blew it
March 14, 2008 at 8:53 pm |
I think just witnessed a game that will be talked about for years.
March 14, 2008 at 8:53 pm |
I hope my heart rate gets back to normal before our next game
March 14, 2008 at 8:54 pm |
My heart stopped for 10 seconds…at least
March 14, 2008 at 8:54 pm |
Headline Gregg “Tornado Can’t stop the Dawgs”
