Hey everyone. As you may or may not know, I am not in Tampa due to budgetary constraints.I also am not available to live blog because I'm taking high-school scores at Advertiser headquarters. This one is up to you until further notice.
- Auburn wins, 61-58.
- Florida leads at halftime, 29-28.
- Auburn ended the first half on an 11-4 run.

HATAGATA, rather.
ReplyDeleteLUNATIC SWAGGAAAA
ReplyDeletey'all suck... Damn I phone
ReplyDeleteDo Brando and Saban use the same hair-coloring products?
ReplyDeletei have a good feeling guys...we're going to get the W
ReplyDeleteENDLESS FRIES!
ReplyDeleteW. COUNT IT.
ReplyDelete9
ReplyDeletesome nerves early, should be expected
ReplyDeleteBoth teams look a little uptight.
ReplyDeletedoes anyone else get the commercial interruptions in the middle of the game?
ReplyDeleteforced two shots already
ReplyDeletemake that 3
ReplyDeleteAn offensive rebound would be nice
ReplyDeleteThat was 10 feet behind the 3 pt line
ReplyDeleteI wonder if these announcers realize UF played last night. Dammit joe dean is such a schmuck!
ReplyDeleteHonestly though..I bet the two extra shoot arounds and last nights game will help the gaytors a tad.
ReplyDeleteI just hate how this team of d-bag announcers runs things in the ground. They'll be on our free throw woes in a few..just wait..
ReplyDeleteTAY WALLA!
ReplyDeleteflorida's caucasians are ballin.
ReplyDeleteI tried to call in the Palisdes v B. Arnold High's field hockey score, but just got the sports editors's answering machine. Guess I dialed the wrong number.
ReplyDeleteDidn't make it to Tampa. Decided to wait and leave tomorrow morning.
Auburn makes TWO free throws
ReplyDeleteit's all good, they can't shoot this well all night.
ReplyDeleteWho is that FL guy making 3s?
ReplyDelete4 for 5 on 3s. Florida is shooting well
ReplyDeleteFrankie Sullivan = cash money.
ReplyDeleteThat was great ball movement. Gotta hang tough with Barber out of the game.
ReplyDeleteJhag is excited about Tay and Frankie in the future
ReplyDeleteJay, didn't you compare Frankie to Frank Tolbert? He has really found his groove since mid-season.
ReplyDeleteBest game of this tourney so far. The rest were yawners. I sure hope these big time bricks start falling. Lets go tigers!
ReplyDeletethey have to cool down eventually......i hope
ReplyDeletewhy does that basket count?
ReplyDeleteso you can foul someone after you made the shot? wow
ReplyDeleteWe're looking rusty. We need UF to cool off quick.
ReplyDeleteI sure hope I'm not setting myself up for a major bummer, but I still feel pretty o.k. about this one. I've seen starts a little like this a few times during the streak.
ReplyDeleteAnd someone figure out the stupid pick n roll, leaving shooters and post guys open.
ReplyDeleteGood grief. At some point, UF is going to have to start missing threes. Also, Calathes carries the ball every time down the floor, for the love.
ReplyDeleteWe look tight, and just when we loosen up, it's either a called or TV timeout. DADGUM IT.
Take that! No more threes from half court, lizards
ReplyDeletenice effort vot
ReplyDeletewhy are we making free throws?
ReplyDelete1 posession game! woot woot!
ReplyDeleteTwo HUGE possessions for Les Tigres.
ReplyDeleteUF is really tightening the screws on Barber. Someone is going to have to hit some outside shots.
ReplyDeleteUF returning to earth
ReplyDeleteBut we are still caught in it's gravitation pull
calm the flip down hargrove!!! damn
ReplyDeleteWow that was a terrible pass inside off a great opportunity.
ReplyDeleteTolbert and Sullivan have a lot in common. Both play with extra enthusiasm, though Sullivan is more thoughtful with his real-time decisions.
ReplyDeleteSullivan is more of a shooter. They both seem endlessly energetic on defense.
rasheem and hargrove make me so so so nervous
ReplyDeleteThis is some pace. Let's hope it catches up with UF in second half
ReplyDeleteSullivan looks more composed than the upperclassmen. Hopefully, AU can keep it within reach and come out strong after halftime.
ReplyDeleteJay--They say after every game that they don't care, but do you think they know or care about maryland winning and temple and baylor being on the verge of stealing bids??...making this as much a must win as you could ever have.
ReplyDeleteFrankie Sullivan Show!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWOOOOOOOO!! Frankie!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love FRANKIE!
ReplyDeleteNice job Frankie....
ReplyDeleteC'mon Auburn
Sullivan is awesome.
ReplyDeleteThere's the FT shooting we know and...know
ReplyDeleteAnyone have dish TV here in Mtgy? The game is NOT coming in on 443 for a friend ... I have cable so I have it fine.
ReplyDeletebrutal misses. just brutal
ReplyDeleteFrankie is taking charge!
ReplyDeleteFRANKIE FRANKIE
ReplyDeleteFRANKIE!!!
ReplyDeletegood half boys
ReplyDeletei'll take 29-28, the way they shot from the three point line.
ReplyDeleteWhenever the point guard holds up ANY fingers ... that means give the ball to FRANKIE!!!!
ReplyDeleteWHAT A BOARD that was by Frankie! Awesome! 2nd half is all ours!
ReplyDeleteWhat a rebound by Frankie
ReplyDeletePhew what a half.
ReplyDeleteFrankie is playing 4 inches taller and 2 steps faster than everyone else.
ReplyDeletegreat way to close out the first half.
ReplyDeleteFRANKIE SULLIVAN IS PLAYING OUTSIDE HIS MIND!!!!!! i love it.
Someone has to step up and help with the scoring. You know UF will be paying extra attention to #20 in the 2nd half.
ReplyDelete11-4 run to close the first half. I like where we are.
ReplyDeletesullivan is my new favorite tiger!
ReplyDeleteKid has some effort in him.
FRANKIE! FRANKIE! FRANKIE!
frankie rocks. this game, while not in the bag, is auburn's to win.
ReplyDeleteAnd I thought we were done with the Daves. Raycom...ugh
ReplyDeleteYou're right kristina. Raycom is bad bad bad.
ReplyDeleteI thinkthe years of play off experience, albeit high school, will help Sullivan. He has performed before when the pressure was on.
ReplyDeleteWe need a first 5 minutes like we had in the LSU game, just knock these guys out early and then smother them.
ReplyDeleteI see AU going to Vot more this halp as UF will surely come out on Sullivan.
ReplyDeleteIt is always nice to feel like you should be down 10 at the half and be down only 1.
ReplyDeleteWe are a long way from 70 points, which is what I think we need.
ReplyDeleteI give up. Raycom is showing the ACC and ESPN360 has blacked out the AU-Fla game. I live 40 miles from the ACC tourney in Atl and 600 miles from Tampa and the SEC game is blacked out?
ReplyDeleteMy wife can't find the game on Dish, but she's not looking very hard.
ReplyDeleteHoopie are you on DISH?
ReplyDeleteI've got it on 474 on DISH.
ReplyDeleteNo kidding, mkiclea. We came out flat.
ReplyDeletewhere's Jet to give you the play by play?
ReplyDelete474 works for Wifey on Dish.
ReplyDeleteYay!
I'm in HD.
ReplyDeleteSadly, there is no logic to sports programming avaliability on TV, whether it is on Dish, cable or rabbit ears.
ReplyDeleteSo Brando gave us no love this year and now says this the 1st time he has seen us in person.
ReplyDeleteThe game is on 3 different channels on DirecTV in Huntsville, all displaying various levels of craptitude in picture and audio.
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks for agreeing with me, Kristeenuh. Your opinion means the world to me.
Uh...who's ball?
ReplyDeleteHere we go again...
ReplyDeleteI know it does mchiel. I'm here for ya buddy.
ReplyDeleteWhat the %$*(@)#_@!*#$?????????
ReplyDeletethis would be easier if we'd stop digging ourselves in a hole.
ReplyDeleteBig play from Robertson!
ReplyDeleteThere ya go, Vot. We need that from him.
ReplyDeleteAwful shot selection, Tay.
ReplyDeleteSweet boards though
bad shot selection frm tay waller all night
ReplyDeleteYahoo sports is broadcasting the game.
ReplyDeletesports.yahoo.com
link under main picture.
WDE
Come on AU let's take a LEAD and keep it!!!!
ReplyDeletedoes lebo just tell them they can shoot it from egypt if they want to?
ReplyDeletePeter, are you watching on Sunshine Network?
ReplyDeleteWAR EAGLE HOTTIES!! Regardless of the outcome..These guys play hard and work there butts off..I am proud to be an Auburn fan..WAR EAGLE!! BEAT FLORDIA!!
ReplyDeleteif you flip to espn or espn2, it makes you sick looking at how much better the picture is.
ReplyDeleteTay Waller often takes bad shots. He's the best bad-shot shooter I've ever seen.
ReplyDeleteYou can't poop on him for that. The statute of limitations expires months ago.
And again Barkley.... Geez
ReplyDeleteYes, Sunshine.
ReplyDeleteI was just over at some friends house that aren't AU fans and they started bitching about watching basketball so I left...now I am watching alone..WAR EAGLE!!
ReplyDeleteWhat are these guys even talking about? Shut up and call the game...or better yet just shut up!
ReplyDeletedamn
ReplyDeleteflorida's bringing the ball down the floor and fss decides to take another random commercial on me.
ReplyDeleteJay G., we're filing a class action against the whole team for poopy shot selection.
ReplyDeleteooohhh.ouch
ReplyDeleteAre you kidding me? Well at least he missed the free throw.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of justice, that was not a foul and he deserved to miss the FT.
ReplyDeleteTook a three to get us back to five. DARN!!!
did ya'll see how long it took for them to update the score..screw Raycom
ReplyDeletethe chances of vot making an easy basket are similar to the chances of tommy trott making an easy catch.
ReplyDeleteBarber knocking down the FT..sweet..
ReplyDeleteAndrew -- in response from previous thread -- Joe Dean Jr is a GREAT guy -- not pompous at all if you know him
ReplyDeleteLike I said ... no worries.
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteKnox!!
ReplyDeleteWhat?!?...How was that not a basket!!??
Yeah, Waller is the classic streak shooter. He either hits everything he puts up, or nothing he puts up.
ReplyDeletewhy does that hoop not count?? we're getting jobbed!! Exactly the same as the calathes play.
ReplyDeleteNOW THAT'S TAKING THE LEAD..WAR EAGLE
ReplyDeleteTerrible call
ReplyDeleteOUTRAGE. INJUSTICE. FRAUD.
ReplyDeleteEXPLETIVES!!!!
WHAT!!!NOW THAT WAS BS
ReplyDeleteif i could ever cuss on this board i wouild have because of that call
ReplyDeleteWe just need to r-e-l-a-x! Still too tight. This game is ours if we do.
ReplyDelete*$#%**#..better now...gaaa
ReplyDeleteTerrible passing...
ReplyDeleteThese passes underneath are garbage, someone shoot the ball.
ReplyDeletei deleted my bad word, but i still feel the same way.
ReplyDeletesurprised the refs didn't call that on AU..
ReplyDeleteI think I've forgotten how truly loathsome and despicable the Gators really are. That's the price paid for whipping them in football for so many years.
ReplyDeleteI never saw this coming with knox..He's been solid.
ReplyDeleteI have never had a comment deleted..very close just then..mad at friends..mad at refs..serenity now...serenity now...
ReplyDeleteDid that guy just say that he had been texting like crazy for for the Florida player?
ReplyDeleteOk..The radio and tv audio is way off but I've had it...It's mute time..WLWI 92.3 all the way!
ReplyDeletescrew Raycom..I really am getting sick..
ReplyDeleteHodge is the best player on our team
ReplyDeleteTAKE THE LEAD NOW!!!!
ReplyDeleteand Hargorve helps Flordia
ReplyDeletei think they just want to wait until the last minute to take the lead....go out in style
ReplyDeleteWell, after watching the passing in this game, there ain't a QB on the court.
ReplyDeleteYou're right for once, Brando. Florida is crappy. Good point.
ReplyDeleteThis is ridiculous..these announcers..Jay who do we complain too?
ReplyDeletei'm telling you, they don't want the lead right now. that would be too easy
ReplyDeleteAndrew, choosing Rod is a sure sign of desperation.
ReplyDeleteGood Lord! What a contrast it's been going from raycom florida announcers to whining rod. I'll take the good guys though...whining and all.
ReplyDeleteFinally a lead.
ReplyDeleteI am getting worried now. The rim is jinx. The ball is cursed. We cannot get a lead.
ReplyDeleteAnd that was an offensive foul you %^%@#()()*@
ok now..mad at friends..mad at refs..hate announcers...WAR EAGLE!!!
ReplyDeleteOK...my hate for these announcers is rivaling my hate for Bama.
ReplyDeleteUp by 1.....don't look back Tigers.
You said that right when I was typing depressed. He is in super-whine mode tonight! You hit the nail squarely on the head my friend!
ReplyDeleteFinally. Every break is going UF's way and we STILL take the lead over the crappy Gators.
ReplyDeleteEven Brando is making sense.
All is well
sorry he hit that three as I was typing and the next thing that came out was WAR EAGLE!! that was fun...anyway..uhh?
ReplyDeleteI just took preemptive TUMS in order to combat my future reflux due to horrific referees, announcers and my Gator relatives.
ReplyDeleteThis thread is getting intense. Hells yeah! lol
ReplyDeleteFunny, wartiger...it all made sense to me.
ReplyDeleteTay with the Tre!
ReplyDeleteLathered up? Did Brando just say lathered up? What does the even mean?
ReplyDeleteWhere you at Calathes!?!?!?! I soooooo wish tez had dunked on your mishapen head!
ReplyDeleteYeah that was too bad.
ReplyDeleteOK...I'm gonna quit posting for a while...I don't believe I have ever posted 3 in a row. Need to step away from the computer ;-)
ReplyDeleteAndrew, I am all for a homer announcer, but according to Rod, AU is screwed in every game by the refs. Jim Fyffe, we miss you. Terrribly.
ReplyDeletehere we go fellas
ReplyDeleteWhat up guys and gals?
ReplyDeleteThere we go!!
ReplyDeleteWOW!
ReplyDeleteTigers have the mo, now!!
ReplyDeletedamn im pumped
ReplyDeleteLet's keep our foot on the gas, Tigers.

ReplyDeletethe mic man needs to get everybody up for boda geta during the under 4 timeout
ReplyDeleteI know I am bias..but where was the hack?
ReplyDeleteahem....very funny zoo keeper
ReplyDeletethough we prolly dont have a mic man in tampa/st pete.
ReplyDeleteHow many fouls does Calathes have?
ReplyDeleteFSJ--ya'll got smoked..uhhh sorry I guess..
