Carl Ross Dunk on SC

[JustDrastik]

Hey all,

 

Been reading this forum for about 2 years.. but haven't really posted to date. Just figured I'd introduce myself...

 

Anyways, I put on SportsCenter and the intro clip which shows a montage of highlights had Ross' dunk against Vermont in it. Just figured that was cool - any exposure is positive. Typically though, whatever highlights they show in the beginning are sporadically sprinkled in the show....

 

Anyways, Go Danes!!! Taking the longest lunch of my life on Friday and hitting up a sports bar in the city. Anyone know if theres Albany alum in NYC who plan on gathering together or some spot people watch it at? I still havent found anything to date...

 

I think we have a legit shot - match up well and we are poised. I think a lot of people are forgetting that UVA hasnt been to the Big Dance in quite some time. We have nothing to lose and it will be interesting to see how they handle the pressure. Our guard combo, while it isn't as good as theirs, can shut them down. Jamar is just that special. He will need to be extremely aggressive in the beginning and hope to set the tone and draw some fouls on them. I think the key to this game is Brent though. If he can make his player guard him deep on the perimeter, and hit a few 3's, it will greatly increase our chances against their athletic team.

 

 

GO UA!

While on AOL sports, click on the Carl Ross pic for a column by Jim Armstrong and guess who is in the first pic on that page, it's Jamar. Caption says we should win 1 round because of our great nickname.

I think its awesome regarding the AOL site and the pics of Ross/Jamar. Very nice to see us getting the attention we deserve.

I will most likely be in Albany - but here are some pictures from last year's event - almost standing room only, so I am sure you will not be the only one!!

I'll be there at Galway Hooker. I'm having a party there later on that night for my girlfriend's birthday. Nice place to watch games.

Just out of curiosity....

 

Which one of you was on the front page on the Times Union on Sunday morning holding up a 'Free Carl Ross' poster on UVM's home court?

Needless to say, I got one heck of a kick out of that.

I just went to AOLSports and that is pretty sweet exposure. On the ESPN Bracket show last night, the montage ended with Jamar 'shirt-popping' on the UVM court....Also pretty sweet.

It's was on the opening of SportsCenter again this morning and before going to the break they had a shot of Jamar, Brent hitting a three and C Ross' dunk promoting Doug and Andy's breakdown of the South Region. With anticipation they were going to talk about us, they didn't. Doh!
