Hansbrough

[BUCSnotYUCKS]

If you pause the thing at around 20-22 seconds, you see that neither Hansbrough or Miami players were "established" out of bounds. Hansbrough was in the air and the Miami player had yet come down.

I will agree that shot was a goal tending though.

As far as the block, pause it at 1:14 and you can tell he got ALL BALL. Then when they show the replay of the block, it's not even debatable...CLEAR BLOCK shot.

Instead of just watching the video and listening to 2 idiots in Len Elmore and Mike Patrick, people should watch it in slow motion or replay and pause, and you'll see the truth.

a clean block!?!?!?!? he came across and hit not only one, but both arms!

 

[BUCSnotYUCKS]

You have to be blind then. Watch the replay of it when they show it in slow motion at the 2:38 mark...if that isn't a block, then I don't know what is. Just because someone falls that doesn't make it a foul.

FOUL!

Either you are 1. blind 2. delusional If you watch sports and think that is a clear block I want some of what you are smoking.

That particular instance was probably 85% arms (both) and 15% ball. Clear foul missed by the worst official in college basketball Karl Hess.

You are making carolina fans look bad.

Red arrows denoting both arms where Tyler is making contact. He maybe got half his hand on the ball.

 

[BUCSnotYUCKS]

The guys arms are on the side of the ball...you are blind.

Those ARROWS are pointing towards the Miami players hands, which are part of the ball by the way. Tylers hand is on the side facing the rim. You haven't proved anything other than a semi-blurry picture which you can clearly see 2 things...

#1 tylers hand in front of the ball
#2 miami players hands on the side of the ball

I will also add one thing about betting on/against your favorite team.

You can say that betting on your team as the favorite can be "not a real fan" as well. There are several examples, but lets say you have -2 1/2. Your team is down by 2. Are you going to cheer that they shoot a "3" at the buzzer and risk OT with a longer shot?

Of course its easier to "cheer" the whole game for your team as a favorite, but at the end of the day, you have to separate gambling from cheering, unless you have the moneyline.

 

[BUCSnotYUCKS]

I root for my team to win the game all the way.

 

[TouchdownJesus]

So you've never bet your team to win by a certain number and hoped for different strategy during a game that could result in a loss for your team or if not, your bet?

Its kind of like the Pete Rose thing. Even if Charlie Hustle only bet on his team....if he ever bet the runline, he's guilty as sin.

 

[BUCSnotYUCKS]

Even when I bet on my teams, I want my team to win, whether or not the cover the spread. I don't bet for a living, so why would I?

 

[TouchdownJesus]

Then why call me out when I want UNC to win...on my bet of Miami +8 1/2?

 

[BUCSnotYUCKS]

Because you bet against Carolina. In my eyes, that's rooting against them.

 

[TouchdownJesus]

Ok, I can't argue that. Ridiculous...

 

[airportis]

I don't see anything wrong with betting against your favorite team. After all, if its your favorite team you should know how they perform and if you think there's an opportunity to make some money, go for it. If you are betting ON your favorite team, you tend to be biased and if they lose the game and you lose the bet on top of it, you're going to be way more pissed off than if you just lost a bet or if your team just lost a game.
