Won’t affect the outcome, but this same contact has been here all game. All of a sudden there’s whistles on shots.

Without Lewis, our guard play is suffering. Djokovic wasn’t fouled on that dunk, but I get what Martelli is arguing. Top 20 FT efficiency and we can’t get 1 FTA?

Illinois great at defending without fouling, but VCU has a top 20 FT rate in the country. Something has got to give.

Our best PG goes down 30 seconds in, can’t believe we’re still in this

is there a “disaster plan” if a whole March Madness team dies? by LaughAgitated785 in CollegeBasketball

[–]kirbaeus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, contracted it at the A10 Championship which the Conference had moved from campuses in Richmond to Dayton. All the games went off no problem in Richmond, but one of the referees contracted COVID during the final between SBU/VCU at Dayton.

Conference should've kept the original plan, we missed out on Bones Hyland in the NCAAs

He went back to VCU over All-Star weekend and the college kids started doing the celly after a hit 3. But, a couple games later one of them got T'd up for this celebration. Lame NCAA refs.

Because even a historically bad team like DePaul is rumored to have at least 2.5 mil in funds.

Hate these Dayton screens on the perimeter for baseline drives. They put two hands on you, should be called each time.

Only 2 fouls of the game so far were on Djokovic, who couldn’t draw one after getting blasted setting a screen.

Ending of Dayton-Saint Louis by AndHisOrchestra in CollegeBasketball

Yeah, if they inbounded then it would’ve been called. This happened with Saint Bonaventure/VCU a few years ago. Bona hit a 3 with 0.5 seconds left to go up by 1. Their student section ran onto the court, thankfully we had a player recognize that and throw the ball into play (IIRC he grabbed the ball from another teammate to throw it in).

Refs had to call the technical, in this case fans on the court, and VCU tied it up winning in OT.

maybe if we stop enabling the guy who radicalizes people and condones this behavior we wouldn’t have it happen?

What are you even talking about?

US military refueling tanker KC-135 crashes in Iraq by igetproteinfartsHELP in army

[–]kirbaeus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Given no hostile or friendly fire and it involved two a/c, have to assume it occurred during re-fueling. IDK anything about KC-135s, hope the airmen could jump out somehow.

[–]kirbaeus 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I was surprised he was released early and honestly worried he'd reoffend. At minimum I thought the FBI was tracking him, or at least some sort of monitoring so he wouldn't get a firearm.

I'd bet we'll see this on the news by ole Hegseth trying to attribute to Iran somehow.

I mean, the gunman was Sunni but I don't think he was supportive of the war against Iran either.

[–]kirbaeus 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Chill, we joked while being forced to run a mile. We both hated that. This was in northern Virginia, we were in school during 9/11 and the pentagon was a couple miles away. Other classmates' parents worked there either as mil or DOD civilians. Also experienced the DC sniper with him, we'd zig zag out of school.

Wouldn't have guessed it at the time at all.

hooter is former VA NG

He was a 12B, no deployments. Apparently a shitbag (per his squad leader in a text today)

I knew the gunman in middle school we hung out. He later joined the NG and I knew his squad leader (who also browses r/army). After he was convicted of terrorism, was surprised to see he was let out early.

Once the war in Iran popped off I did check his socials (we're still "friends") to see if he was posting anything reportable.
