I got run out tonight.

[BigErnMcCracken]

I said I was going to get KO's technicals for him and I have no idea if he got one or not because bi tch a s s Brian O'Connell threw me out of the Garden with about 10 minutes left in the game. Never seen anything like it. He complained to security that I was "on him all night" and about six security guards escorted me out after I complained about a particularly egregious call about half way through the second half. Even the security guards were laughing about it as they walked me to the exit. Didn't even get to eat the cookies in the little bags they had courtside. duck___ the refs, duck Maryland, and duck that terrible game. And C K Brian O'Connell.

You made the most of your court side seats. Well done.

Today, you are a boneyard hero.

I may never disagree with you again Crack - nice job. I feel like a proud BYer at this time and well done on your part to help KO do his job, which by the way he timed in an ill-advised manner he should have joined you!

I think you maybe my new hero. This is awesome. I would have done the same thing if I was there. I was boiling the entire game about the calls from the refs (started a thread about it long before the JA foul and TO technical).
In every game you have your share of bad calls for both teams, but this game was called 1 sided the entire time. When you can notice the officiating this much while watching a game, something is wrong. I have no problem losing a game when we are outplayed, but not because they call the game one-way. MD went to the Free Throw line so many more times than us it was pitiful. Meanwhile, we drove to the basket the entire game (shot some 3's at the end to try to cut the lead down) and we hardly received any calls unless our player was killed at the rim. It was awful on so many levels and if I were the AD, I would report this crew to the NCAA. They need to be held accountable for their awful performance.

 

[polycom]

So that was you on TV going crazy courtside.

 

[king conn]

Now it becomes more clear. KO was just trying to step up in your absence.

 

[upstater]

Hmmm, it bothers me that the refs were annoyed at UConn fans. Really?

I'm sorry but I disagree. I think E cost us the game. You could feel the energy go out of the room as he was escorted out. He just threw ice water on the run. As a seasoned 'yarder, he really ought to have kept his composure.

JK - freaking awesome Big E. The most I've ever gotten is the glance back. Well done. Somebody has to have video of this, or at least a shot of you working him during the game.

 

[sledog]

Hard to believe that a ref can have you ejected for your expression of ideas- that you paid to offer. Should have pushed of punched him on the way out.

@tcf15 have the clip?

I do not believe that the ability to offer your opinion is a condition of the ticket purchase. It's probably quite the opposite.

This you?

 

[Ts5034]

In an arena of 18,000+ screaming fans, its unfair in my opinion to single out one person for expressing his opinion. The only time a ref should have the authority to suggest that a spectator be thrown out is if he heard a threatening comment to his own safety or a players safety thats on the court or bench. Obviously people in the 200 and 300 level were yelling at the refs as well but just because he can only hear the people courtside doesnt justify throwing the person out.

 

[SirHypeAlot]

This you?

you are a hero. need confirmation that's you. will make my day

 

[superjohn]

Kicked you out of the game for yelling, what a pussbag. Everything about last night sucked.

 

[Tenspro2002]

Aw man, if only you'd been able to hold out until the final minute, it could have been you throwing those papers instead.

And just in case it is @BigErnMcCracken, here's what the ESPN cameras were able to capture of his last stand:

Any ref that kicks fans out of games has to be incredibly insecure.

Want some video of this. No, NEED some video of this. @tcf15 ?

EDIT: never mind, tcf ftw. I'm changing the above to: Want some confirmation of this. No, NEED some confirmation of this. If so, epic beard. Crack?

New life goal - catch a game with Ern and Skinner.
