Yep. Might even get drafted. But Daumit!
He was supposed to put us out of our misery tonight.

I missed the 2nd half and was watching a replay on ESPNU this afternoon.

After South Dakota State had pulled ahead, Daum got called for two bullshit calls in the course of ~3 minutes. Usually announcers don't specifically say that a referee's call was a "bad call", they say "that could go either way", but TWICE Bill Raftery Fran Fraschilla* pointed out that the refs made a bad call and that they got it wrong.

-One was an illegal pick, when Daum was set.
-Second was a rebound where the shorter Texas defender jumped back against Daum as Daum snagged the rebound and put the ball up and in.

Without the referees giving Texas help, Daum would have put us down. In the end they had to jack up shots and foul and that's why we won by more than 2 points, but with fair refs/neutral site, South Dakota State wins last night.

Eh, reffing was pretty bad in the first half in SDSU's favor, so it evened out. Those were terrible calls, though.

And it was Fran Fraschilla.

I wouldn't go to that game with free tickets and a free limo ride

Well what if there was free booze and hookers in that limo ride?

If they can shoot the 3 admit 'em next year.
