Brandon you got to like him and not like him at times

Where did I ever say that? They do. But what they DON'T do, is go up and yap directly in a player's face like Garrison did. Damned near 100% of the time that gets a technical in the regular course of a game.

Where do you come up with I "want it called on us"?

Fans aren't players.

It's obvious you're pretty emotional about this and insinuating a lot of stuff in my post. Some facts. Garrison played well and saved our tail. Garrison is ridiculously immature in actions and play (not a coincidence). The referees, had they called the technical, would've been completely warranted to do so. Had that happened and the OU player made both FTs, all the good that Garrison did would've been wiped away by some stupid immature decision to go yap directly in a players face (which, btw, doesn't happen nearly as frequently as some have said).
There are only certain things you can call a technical for that occur before a game starts or after game clock is 0. Jawing at someone is not one of them neither is fighting(we have seen fights and punches thrown in handshake lines before and they don't go back on the court and shoot free throws) if it occurs after time has expired. Now the SEC could suspend him or hand out some sort of punishment but the only danger of them getting tech free throws was if it occurred before the clock hit double zero and that is what the refs were looking at. If he had pushed or taunted before the clock expired it could be free throws .
 
What he did at the end of the game, almost getting a T was stupidity at its finest. Act like you've been there before.
I agree with you, man. People going at refs over that but honestly we caught a break. He was acting ridiculous before the clock was 0.00, almost costed us the game. We also wouldn’t have been able to win that game without Garrison’s great defense. He needs to show some composure though.
 
Last night he played well, going back home and having family there helped, but with all that he could have been the cause of us almost losing that game, the game is official not over even after the horn until the officials leave the court, and he put the officials in an awkward situation, Shows maybe wanted to give him a tech and the other two voted against it, but with different officials we probably would be on the losing end. I know emotions were high, but learn to control them and win with class, even after that he was still mouthing off, can't control the other team, but we are Kentucky.

He's a good young man, just a little too emotional. I was at the game, and he and Butler were still talking to fans, taking pictures and signing things 30 minutes after the game ended. He is the kind of guy the UK program can do wonders for in life. He certainly didn't seem unhappy the way was interacting with UK fans after the game. He came up huge last night.

AS LONG AS THE OFFICIALS ARE ON THE COURT.

That's the "end of the contest". Officials aren't around for handshake lines.

You are correct that the game is not official until the refs leave the court. That does not mean they can call a technical after the clock has reached Zero. Yes refs have been on the court when fights broke out in handshake lines and no techs were called. The refs specifically stated they were looking at the monitor to see if anything occurred BEFORE time expired.
 
Coulda, shoulda, woulda didn’t happen.

He didn’t get a T. Nothing bad happened. Because nothing bad happened I loved what he did, but I have always loved guys like Boogie, Magloire, Rodman, etc.

Put your pearls back in your purses, y’all.

It most definitely can be called, maybe you are blind he did more than just jawing, the game is not officially over until the officials leave the court, that's why you see them run off most of the time, and officials are in the locker room when the handshakes begin, I have officiated for 10 years, trust what I'm telling you.
 
If he would have been T'd up and cost us the game, BCG would have made he ride back in the equipment bus. Love the energy but it can't cost his team. Once it adversely costs your team, then you are selfish and make it about yourself.

He has been T'd up at least twice this year which again costs his team. Let it happen in a big game in the tournament and we will see how much it matters that he acts like that.
 
Let the young man continue to develop. He reminds me of Magloire with the way he busts the opponents balls.

I'm glad we have players like him. Magloire, Liggins, Bledsoe, Garrison. Give me the occasional crazy guy if he does his job.

The fact is we have been complaining (rightfully in many cases) that individuals and the entire team is soft. That includes some questions on the coach.
If a player controls himself enough to wait AFTER the clock strikes zero to respond to various players trashing him the whole game, I have no issue with that.
If the officials for the first time since I've been watching since 1975 called a T for post-game trash talk, then I'd say it's a league office intervention.
 
The game is not over until officials leave the floor

Really didn’t explain court storming officials are still there. That is a technical violation against the home team, but they never call it. They may find them, but they never called the technical or change the game.

Well, in the first place, the clock was at zero. Secondly, there would’ve been several technical coasts called because their players left the bench and we’re join as well and not to mention the intentional foul on Koby but you keep acting like he did it in a vacuum, which wasn’t true

I never once said it was in a vacuum. Yes, OU players acted out worse. I wasn’t talking about them, I was talking about BG. I’m glad the result is what it is so what’s the point of splitting atoms. I, like you, am glad we won. Also, shows owed us some favor after that horrific 5th call on Butler. Let’s not argue for the sake of arguing.
 
My god, we get an away win and some of you people are cackling about something that didn't happen. SMDH

It's like some of you can't enjoy a WIN!
You are right about what you say, but it should also be pointed out that when one of our bigs even stare down an opponent after a great play, they get tee'd up for taunting.
 
Dude, you get away with more when you're more talented. And Cousins was INFINITELY better than Garrison will ever be. If they call that technical (and they easily could've), and the Cats go on to lose, Garrison should've had to turn in his uniform that night. He's pulled borderline bitch behavior stuff all season. He's extremely immature.

Most of us were very immature as young adults. I know I was, in fact I'm still "growing up". It'sy hope that some here will understand where .coming from with that comment. But I also think he's got a character flaw of some sort. How many of us have read the headlines where gifted athlete goes on to do something a little later in life that results in them paying the price for a long time? I hope he doesn't fall into that category.
 
I'm a big fan about actually looking at the bigger picture at exactly went on, as best can be seen, with what actually went down before passing judgment on anyone. Considering the OU officials just officially apologized for the beer can chugger incident post game, it is just simply a case of everybody's emotions were just a *little* on edge.

Garrison was reacting to the talk throughout the game, as were the other players. The attempted "cheap shot" towards Garrison late was indicative of the officials not actually ever really getting any real control over the emotional situation and looking towards preventing how it ended up, if you ask me.

As is typical for a Shows crew, they got PLENTY of TV time. Disgusting. But in the end, they took everything in account and the clock was at ZERO. So they did not call a technical that would have changed potentially (?) the outcome of the game.
SEC commissioner Sanky was actually in attendance with Sooner royalty.

How would THAT have looked for Shows and his crew, to have to actually answer to the OUTRAGE that surely would've ensued?
HA.

Shows actually came thru for us in this one.

But it doesn't change the FACT that the game officials were letting WAYYY too much extracurricular smack talk continue throughout the game to the point where it ALMOST boiled over into something ugly.

And it was ugly enough at that.

But you have nowhere else really needed to look at than the OFFICIATING CREW for not gaining control over that physical brutal game that , well. it sucked to watch SEC officials, but doesn't ALL SEC games follow that pattern?

at least we won
