GAME DAY!

Pilots, Slip It In!

Very pumped! Man, I have to get through a whole day of work AND an evening before tip-off at 11! East coast time zone sucks....especially when you're in the midwest!

I have to go to some hockey game instead.....hopefully I'll catch the end on TV at home.

Oh yeah.

coldsmoke, the hockey game isn't in Greeley is it?

I agree with Rochin54. East Coast time sucks, no matter where you are. At least you have a job to help you get through the day...I just found out last night that our apartment has a game room with a big(ger than the one in my place) screen. I think I am going down there to watch. I am seriously anxious, I don't know how I am going to make it through the day.

You'll work out four times instead of your standard two.

I'm ready already. I've got a huge...surprise...sitting in my living room with my sticks, wig, and cowbell. Let's get this party started!

Nope, Windsor. Almost as bad.
I blame the east coast time difference for 90% of the disrespect PAC 10 football gets in the media. No one cares about games that start at 10PM, it's like they almost don't exist. And if we beat GU and get no respect for it, it will be partially due to the fact that no one in the east wants to watch a bunch of white guys play bball at 10 on Thursday.

make that 11pm on a Thursday

Well here we are... who would have thought this game would mean so much, even just 2 weeks ago?!

I am going to next next to no work done today... I should just go to the T-Room now...



Go Pilots! Beat Gonzaga!

Good Luck tonight Pilots. I'm glad the game is on ESPN2. I'm sure there will be a ton of WCC fans watching and rooting on Portland.

Thanks Iron Lions!

Just judging from all my friends Facebook status updates, people definitely are pumped about the game!!!

The troops are dressed in purple and ready to rock and rumble in Arizona too. 4 hrs 49 min 22 seconds until Kramer win's or lose's the tip. (Doesnt matter too much if it did BJ would be jumping center vrs that "grown" 26 yr old man who should be in the work force not college would be facing BJ if Vertical Leap factored in). 1 min later Kramer takes the first shot or throw's it back outside for an assist to Ethan,Nik or TJ for a three. If they miss the "Flying Dutchman" Robin follows with a tip in......2 minute's later the weak and feable (go-zag thinks) Luke and Jarred come into the lineup to spell Ethan,Kramer. What a dynamic duo off the bench,a burst of energy in the form of rebounder-glassmaster,and shooting specialist.

Can't a guy dream a little ?, But then it's not a dream is it,it's 15 wins and counting for the little ol Pilots this year

Side Note: I heard about that 71 yr college player back east, there's still hope for me as long as I can find a NAIA school in the next 20yrs
that will let me use my remaining elgibility.Man am I bitter about that 6 yr elgibility rule for Div-1 , I used that up in 87'

I'm with you, Mesa! None of the sports I played were even NCAA sports back in the 60's, yet somehow they determined I'm ineligible to play now just because I played them at all and because I'm a little past the age cutoff. SO unfair.

I think I see a class action age discrimination suit developing....

But Josh should be our ally in this cause. He could be our poster boy if he had any eligibility left.

One question--- is a scholarship considered income for the purposes of social security reporting?

Pilot nation will bring you justice once you become a draft pick with a few more posts...

According to the ESPN.com Accuscore the game will end 75.3-63.1 Gonzaga. The Pilots have an 18% chance of winning. Raivio will be the game's leading scorer with 16.8 points. I don't know if I like what it is saying.

My prediction Portland 68.4, Gonzaga 65.8 and Raivio is going to score 19.2

Seriously, the game starts in 15 minutes and there is still 10 minutes left in the St. John's/Seton Hall game. I have been watching it for five minutes, 3 fouls have been called, two turnovers and abut one minute off the clock. If I'm lucky I might get to watch the second half of the Pilot game. Just brutal.

That's awful. I'm going to watching on ESPN360.

I'm stuck at work tonight. But I'll be following through livestats. . .

I can't get 360, apparently it is only available through certain providers.

Being that I am at work, I won't be able to update very often, but I'll try to update here.
