Georgia Bulldogs at South Carolina Gamecocks Basketball Game Night Open Comment Thread
Georgia Bulldogs at South Carolina Gamecocks, Feb 15, 2012 7:00 PM EST
How unimportant is the Georgia Bulldogs' men's basketball game against the South Carolina Gamecocks in the grand scheme of things? It matters so little that the game, which tips off in Columbia, S.C., at 7:00 p.m. Eastern, is being televised on CSS, which, honestly, is worse than not being televised at all.
For the Red and Black, however, this game matters a great deal. The Fox Hounds entered this season with no realistic expectation of earning a second straight NCAA Tournament bid, and they effectively have played themselves out of NIT contention, but a minor tournament remains a possibility, one which would benefit the team tremendously were the opportunity to be afforded.
This game is an absolute must-win for the newly-resurgent Bulldogs. Honestly, if Georgia can't beat a South Carolina team acknowledged by its own fans to be the worst in a watered-down SEC, the Hoop Dogs don't deserve any sort of postseason invitation, and they will not receive one. The Athenians may be in a "win and stay home" scenario, but they're certainly in no better than a "win or stay home" situation, so cheer on the Bulldogs in the comments below.

I should have made this a caption contest.

If vineyarddawg had compared Isaiah Crowell to a different set of genitals, . . .
. . . it’d be an ad for condoms, instead.

I didnt watch the last two games. Which is why we won. Now I am treated to the good old 1pt a minute UGA team I have watched all year.
That "put tankertoad in the lead lined room" thing is coming around again.
The second I said something nice it wen to hell.

Yeah, I think we've identified the problem.
If we lose this game, I’m driving to Kansas with DavetheDawg and RedCrake, and we’re taking your TV.

I dont mean this as mean as it sounds, but I really don't know what Jurassic's purpose is.
This game alone the ball has bounced off of some part of his body 3 times.
He's the plucky comic relief.
Better that than the nameless security guard in a red shirt who gets killed before the first commercial break so the audience knows the situation is serious.

Maybe we should give him this jersey:

Nice catch. My video feed is pretty bad, I am having a hard time even picking up numbers of players.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING STILL WATCHING?!?!
We need to kill two birds with one stone and sacrifice tankertoad at the Arch!

Y'all are just getting downright mean and hurting my feelings.
But the Arch wouldnt be a bad place to go I guess.
You could give a Nathan Hale speech:
“I regret that I have but one life to give for my blog!”
We’d play a clip from it every week on the podcast!

I have no doubt UGA would win a NCAA tourney just to piss me off in my grave.

I just learned the "Director of Basketball Operations" Kent Davidson coached here at WSU.
And at Garden City. He needs to get it in gear.
I'm around.
Just mostly watching the game and being frustrated.

Dream scenario of every sporting day:
Georgia wins.
Tech loses.
That’s why we love the days when one guarantees the other.

maybe i'm way over optimistic
but I keep expecting Georgia to make a run in this game.. it’s just not happening though. i like how we are (at least trying to) drive to basket

We're certainly making it an exciting game.
I’d rather we just pull ahead and quit with the drama.

Hey everybody...
they’ve already built a new statue in Auburn.

If you love bland brick buildings and old brick buildings with broken windows that look like they should be condemned...
And hate culture, good restaurants, technology, people, nice houses, fancy apartments, and all the fine trimmings of modern civilization…
Then Auburn is the place to be.

I haven't been to Auburn
since the ‘86 game when the water hoses were turned on everyone. Vowed to never return. It’s a bleak town.

Went in 2010. (and 04, 06, and 08 with Redcoats).
I hate that place.

Watching this game
on ESPN3 is like watching a bonfire through a kaleidascope. While sniffing glue.

The instantaneous ill-informed roundball wrapup . . .
. . . has just been posted on the front page.
DavetheDawg summed it up with concision in his 9:04 comment, however.
