Big Crap was far worse.

As far as any of us know, Rutgers may or may not have won the game. They probably were not going to convert however.

The stewards completely screwed up the Big Crap result. Anyone that can watch that race and not see the obvious foul caused by GOD really needs to have their eyes examined and perhaps their psyche as well.

Oh, and don't forget. The incident clearly caused by GOD ended up resulting in a significant injury to Setsuko.

The St. Johns game by far. Especially when the number on the game was 128 1/2.

Do you really think that was why the refs blew that call?

The fouls on Kennedy and the "over-the-back" are debateable. Anybody who says anything to the contrary didn't watch a second of the rest of that game, where Rutgers made a living going "over the back" on putbacks.

The last two seconds being completely botched like that are inexcusable though, and Higgins, Burr, and Earl Watson have been removed from the rest of the BET for their actions. Still, it's freaking Rutgers, there's as much a chance that I'm going to make out with Ali Larter tonight as there was for Rutgers to figure out how to win a game from half court with 1.7 seconds on the clock.

With or without the number being what it was, the amount of calls that were missed in that last 30 seconds to a minute was ridiculous. I just found it interesting about the over/under. I didn't lose any money or lose any sleep over what happened.

I agree. I saw at least 5 mistakes that were blatant in the last minute (and that's coming from someone that used to ref games).

I just left the optometrist...headed for my shrink's office. Hope he refills the Kleenex box for me.

SJU/ Rutgers by a mile. the Big Cap was a roughly run race to be sure but I watched replays, particularly the head-on, and I think that was a judgment call. Jock tried to force his way through a hole that closed...happens all the time.

I sat down in his office and said, "I'm a teepee, I'm a wigwam, I'm a teepee, I'm a wigwam..."

Doc said, "relax, you are too tense."

In your case, you should have your head examined by a proctologist.
