Rookieees Game Of Year Recap

[THE_ROOKIEEE]

Sitting In The 2nd Row Behind The Scorekeeper And Watching This Game Unfold Was One Of The Most Ridiculous Games Ive Witnessed In A Long Time.... Now Im Not One To Say Fix Or Someone Throw A Game But When The Scorekeeper And Writers With Me Are Questioning The Play From Both The Lopez Brothers During This Game... I Get The Feeling Something Was Wrong.... First Of All For Those Of You That Got Early And Pushed This You Were Lucky...these Lopez Brothers Cosistently Ask For The Ball In This Game And Made Questionable T/o Or Missed Shots To Missed Ft Early In This Game That Wasnt Even Close...if It Werent For Other Team Members Carry The Load When These Two Consistenly Ask For The Ball I Truly Believe We Would Have Lost Being They Were Trying Really Obviously....for Those Of You On The 10.5 And 11 I Apologize For This Loss Being I Take Extra Care When Putting Out A Game Of This Magnitude....not One Of The Players I Talk To Said Something Like This Was Going To Happen And I Feel We Were On The Right Side And Total Of This Game..... But What Was Even More Ridiculous Was The Final Shots (3 Shots 3 Off Rebounds)and The Laziness Of These Brothers To Grab A Rebound Let Alone A Useless Foul To Send The Guy To The Line...grant It He Had To Make Both Still Leaves A Funny Taste In My Mouth..... I Would Keep A Eye On This Stanford Team In The Next Weeks On Their Play Being I Believe In My Honest Opinion Something Wasnt Right From The Beginning To The End..im Not The Only One With These Thoughts Tonight ...once Again My Homework Wasnt Complete Evidently Despite Being On The Right Side.....nevertheless I Hope That Some Of You Got On The Over To Ease Some Of This Pain I Feel Amongst The People Who Followed And Got Nipped.....

yeah, i mean its obv stanford would jeopardize their entire athletic program and the careers of the lopez bros to push on a 10 pt spread, how do people not see this, this has to stop

anyone who watched that game would know that Stanford should have never even been close to covering. Cal played them close until the very end and fouls and FTs got them close to the cover. Should they have still got that rebound and won by 12? yes. Should they ever have even been that close to worry about, probably not. Lets get it back on ULL this week guys

Ill preface this by saying I have respect for yer picks but if I am reading this correctly you are accusing the Lopez bros. of shaving pts not to cover the DD spread? If I misunderstand I am sorry but if that is what you are trying to say that is ridiculous.

I watched the whole 2h and was on Cal +10' and I was very lucky to get that win because Stanford pumped a 2 point lead to 12 in about a minute and I thought I lost for sure and anyone else who watched would have seen that the Lopez bros. missed all of one free throw in maybe 10+ attempts to end that game.....if someone is blatantly trying to shave points what better place to do so than at the free throw line and yer a 7 foot stiff when most people dont expect you to make them anyways....they were also pounding the offensive glass hard at the end of that game......I understand you were upset but cmon now lets be real....if anything they were doing their best to blow that team out.

If you really want to see something questionable I suggest you look at what the Alabama coach did at the end of the 2h yesterday v Auburn

PEACE

I totally agree with you on this.These players now days know the line and it seems the major TV game lines are so close this year its crazy.

[THE_ROOKIEEE]

i take my losses like any person would..... even though i pushed ... i lost too being many of you were with me so i take blame....as for accusing those lopez brothers of shaving...i cant say that as i am close to both programs and some important people....but i can say positively that they half assed it in the early part of the game then turned it on towards the end.... just some of those t/o and shots were in my opinion and home town writers un-lopez like.... and the 3 pf in 3minutes just isnt lopez playing....... pissed...nah...disappointed yes for i let a lot of you down as i pushed in a game that shouldve won easily if they played 100%

[Gerk]

From watching most of the game,

IMO, If you had Stanford, you were VERY lucky to get a push on this one and I had no bet on this one at all

they don't know the line and they are completely shut off from ESPN, and the media

all they do is practice, school, and sleep, no time for TV or the internet

[chumly77]

I dunno man....I was on Cal and wouldve been pissed if I lost but the way that game I was lucky...Cal had to make 2 FTs at the end there and if they didnt they were gonna lose by 11 or 12......got lucky and the guy made 2 meaningless to end the game for the half point win.

Truth be told most of these games that we bet on are decided by luck

PEACE
