One of my biggest concern is how quick with the whistles the officials will be.

and if they will get completely caught up in the home crowd like the Arizona game

I think the IU/MSU game will run over (and maybe go to OT) so hopefully they put us on ESPN News and/or bump our tip-off time until 9:08 or something.

A whistle-fest would be a huge problem for Florida, not only for depth reasons but bc Mizzou makes their foul shots.

classless game signs, rumored black out....I think this is going to be a pretty nutso environment. Lets have them quiet early please

They said our game is 23 minutes away at 8:47 so if my horrible math skills are correct, our tip is at 9:10.

Signs are just the beginning.

kU players used to get harassed the night before when they stayed at a hotel in Columbia. The infamous student group known as the Antlers has a history of tracking down players phone #'s and repeatedly calling opposing players for days and even weeks ahead of games. Marshall Henderson caught the Antlers attention earlier this year and his sister now has a new phone number. The group was originally kicked out of games for pulling up next to the Arkansas basketball team's bus during the Nolan Richardson years with a dead pigs head hanging out of their car.

I'm all for college "tradition" and having fun, but that is taking it too far.

Need to shut the crowd up early tonight Gators

Ironically, I sat behind the Mizzou bench for the game in Gainesville. Haith's son nearly broke down b/c he was being referred to as "water boy". This upset Frank so much that he got into a pretty heated verbal confrontation with the Gator fan.
I have to wonder if he will find the taunts by his own fans so offensive.
I suspect not.

Alright IU/MSU is in their last TV timeout. I think we are fine for the 9:10 tip so now our biggest worry is OT. And the teams have a combined 8 timeouts. That ain't good!

Sounds like an immature coach

No, he does not.

The Antlers have always been quietly embraced by the coaches.

Norm Stewart specifically used to encourage their behavior specifically against kU.

So the man can dish it but not take it.
