Game @ UIC

[Ron Diaz]

Just got back home from the game. What can I say?

1. Our defense is awesome. Even though UIC can't hit a J from more than 8 feet away.
2. Announced attendance was 750. That was with 6 busses of 8-12 year olds, and the 100 panther fans.
3. People, we need to work on participating in cheers, its kinda hard when four guys are the only ones cheering.
4. Seemed as if we need to work on free throws, although I can't complain, cause the flamers couldn't make any themselves. Great slaughter, er I mean win. We should be able to roll throught the rest of the conference.

Thanks everyone for going!

hey panthers6thman, i was at the womens game also, do you know why the lieutenant governor was there? is she alumni or just putting in face time for reelction?

Your guess is as good as mine. Someone told me she was there. I have a feeling it wasn't because she was a huge woman's basketball fan. Never do know though.

We played our "C" game tonight... good freethrow shooting would have made it a "B" game.

The only thing more pathetic than the UIC team was their fans. It felt like a middle school game in there. The 11-year olds and the three dudes in red doing the "hoedown stomp" were the only real vocal fans for the Flames.

It was a great time... more people should have gone down. Let's make sure we get lots of Black and Gold to the games in Green Bay and Loyola... and I know a bunch of us want to go to Butler as well.

Hey Holic... it's SLANDER!

Just got back from the game and here are my 2 cents (in no particular order)...

1. The Pav is a sh*thole. looks like something you'd see in Buttf**k, North Dakota. it looked like South Dakota State had a better looking place. no jumbotron, the "basketball" part of the venue ends w/ a massive blue curtain and on the other side it looks like the place is being fumigated. on the "decorative" side of the curtain they just hang some cheap banners. the ceiling is decorated w/ yellow I-beams and advertisements from sponsors stupid enough to donate to that sh*tty program line the rest of way. pretty much think of the seating as a horseshoe.

2. Ironic how we're classless but they bus in a couple hundred kids from the inner city in attempt to fill seats; these little peckers who range from 8 to 12 years old try talking sh*t to us even though we can throw them.

3. 2 for 2 in games where signs are confiscated AND i was threatened to be sued for making this one can anyone find pics of Jimmy's wife?

4. Speaking of signs, how the hell can a Fury member make a sign w/ glitter for text and a light background color (i think it was a yellow background) and expect ppl to read it? dumb b****.

5. Stomper or whatever the hell that imbred, 400 lbs. Barney-reject is supposed to be is the worst mascot ever.

6. The lighting of the eternal flame is the worst pregame ceremony possibly known to man, especially since it's light for what? 5 secs? and then extinguished. what is the flame supposed to represent? bad coaching and undisciplined players?

7. ABSOLUTE WORST timeout activities i've ever seen. stacking Yellow Pages? stacking UPS packages across court at two different areas? pathetic.

8. UIC fans get as excited for a game as a family who just lost a beloved family member in a tragic accident. the loudest people there were the little girls who'd just scream at the top of their lungs. there was what? 10 Fury members. ha! at least now i understand FlamerI'mNotOne's name.

9. UIC's dance team is *&^%#$@!&#^$% HOT!!!!!!! nothing against our girls but goddamn, at least that school does something right.

10. As for the game, everything's been already said so all i'll say is hopefully UIC leaves their scout team in Chicago the next time they play us and find some kids with talent. God knows how good Jimmy is at coaching

11. Getting free UWM bandanas at the game was awesome! how often do you get free merchandise at road games? especially at your rivals?

12. props to RonDiaz for bringing the BC game to watch on the way home. the game literally ended as we arrived at Merrill Hall.

Holic, I was sitting behind you on the way home last night and overheard the story of the sign. That's some funny $hit. Believe me, you should've just told her to sue. That sign was priceless.

Let's hear the sign story for those who couldn't go.

PantherHolic brought a sign, on one side it read "Bruce says Hi" the other, "Jimmy Punches Players" It was near halftime I think, I was sitting next to Holic. Some UIC fans had those gliter signs up that we could hardly read, and Holic decides to hold up the Jimmy part of the sign. It was funny, we put it down after a while, then this black lady in her 40's or so comes over and asks, "what does that sign say?" Holic shows her the Bruce part. She goes, "no, the other side." Holic shows her. She then proceeds to threaten Holic by saying that its:

1. A lie (Even though it was printed in the Indianapolis Star)
2. Its Slander (Even though Slander is spoken, Libel is printed)

This lady asks Holic for his name and address and phone number. She then tells Holic he can't do that, he explains that it was in the paper, again she says, thats a lie. Holic goes, you want it? You can have it. She says no I don't want it. She says you know 'we' can sue you for that, blah blah blah. After a few more minutes of her being in the way, and me going yeah sue him! go for it, she finally sighs and takes the sign. I know I booed the sh*t out of her. Then she tore it up. Even though she said she didn't want it.

I personally can't wait until we play UIC at home again. If this woman really was Jimmy's wife, then damn did we get in her head. You know she told Jimmy about it when the went home or whatever. If one sign can mess with the collins, imagine what a screaming croud at the cell could do to them. Just a classic UIC trip basically. I never would have believed an 8 year old gangsta could talk sh*t to a guy like me about 5 times his weight. Its just a different world down there.

"Bruce says Hi"

Nice. ;D Keep up the good work, fellas. Sometimes subtle shots at teams are the best ones.

[milwsport]

Actually the Indy paper said Collins shoved Bowens not punched. I doubt that was Jimmy's wife, she would have had better seats.

I do like the sign though, specially the Bruce says Hi part. LOL

[Pantherholic]

the best part of it was that when i told her it was mentioned in the Butler recap in the Indy Star she immediately said "no it isn't, that's a lie". when i told her of the article again later on she immediately shot down that notion again. even though she hasn't seen the article at all let alone what is mentioned in it she was able to tell me the contents of it? i'll just remake the sign (switch it to "assaults players" and print out the article if/when she confronts me again ;D maybe she won't believe my story of finding this article on some "superhighway" of "information". that and "gimme yo name, address and phone number.' 'Why would I do that?' 'So i can sue you.' 'No."

That reminds me of one time after the Bucks game about 6 or 7 years back my roomate and I got jumped in the parking garage by about 15, 8-15yr. olds from the Ethan Allen boys home outside of Madison. One of those little sh$ts cracked my tooth!! Thier handlers must of been talking to other people because they came running up screaming at us to stop fighting w/them, one of them said there just kids, I said not when there's 15 of them!!! The cops came and made a report and told us they would most likely get in more trouble back at the group home then they would if we wanted to press charges. It was a weird night to say the least.
