I was going to come up with something clever, maybe some Godfather references, but it's March and (as Hognrock pointed out) there is really only one key to the game: end the game with more points than them.
No more of this "we had a rough season with injuries and everyone should be impressed we even made the tourney" bullshit, let's just go kick St. John's ass because we're better than them.

I had no idea that Calipari and Pitino didn't like each other until I watched some kind of summary video about that last night.
I thought they would both be, like, basketball made men and fast friends.

I had never heard this either until this week. What's the backstory? Sounds like they despise each other personally, not just professionally.

Difference in tournament seeding between a 10 and a 7 seed is purely up to whatever matchups the committee wants to see.
These bet Saracen ads are terrible.
This game will almost certainly come down to how the officials call the game and I'm not really optimistic about that...
Let's Go Hogs!!
This is big. Real big. This is what we all wanted when Calipari took our job. Big time matchup in the NCAA tourney for the sweet 16.
Cal delivered. It doesn't get much better than this.
Yep. Zero pics for us again.

Nope
If Jonus and TB can stay out of foul trouble, we'll dominate the glass
Knox just went to the next level.
If the stripes could recognize a four or five step stroll, we would be ahead by at least 6 more points.
Knox ain't having it
Oh fuck. Z is in
Damn tip ins
Well that was fun, put Aidoo back in
And...we go retarded. Z brings ZERO to the table.
Let that big boy shoot all he wants
Need to keep attacking inside.

Big Zilch needs to stay seated.
Boogie time.
Keep making free throws, that will be key

We are crashing so hard we keep costing ourselves rebounds.
Quote from: BASS on Mar 22, 2025, 02:12 PMKeep making free throws, that will be key
Keep getting to the line too, they aren't deep and getting them in foul trouble would be key.
Right now it feels like they're doing everything they can just to hang with us, and we're letting them.
I'm going to go fuck myself with a bonsai tree that's only been nourished with holy water, just to make sure I don't jinx anything.
Great block.
That was great.

We are just as good defensively as they are.

Quote from: Barton Fink on Mar 22, 2025, 02:15 PMWe are just as good defensively as they are.
And bigger. If we can stop settling for outside shots I think we can chip away and get them in foul trouble
They already look tired. Run them out of the gym.
For being the supposed best defensive team in the country they are on their heels.
Thry haven't faced a team as physical and athletic as we are. We can match them.

I chortled on that
Why is Z coming back in?
Fucking bullshit ticky tack foul
I hate when they take a full time out on a called timeout under one of the media marks like 12, then take another full timeout at the next dead ball. Isn't a team's first time out of the game supposed to be 30 seconds because it's a use it or lose it?
There should be a rule that there can't be two full TV timeouts within a minute of game time.
Pitino called one when it was about time for the under 12. Show your damn ads then. Assholes.
Quote from: Thin Red Swine on Mar 22, 2025, 02:18 PMWhy is Z coming back in?
Because we have to figure out a way to get Aidoo some rest and protect him from his 2nd foul. If Thiero was healthy it would be him.

That makes logical sense of course but the last time it happened they scored 7 points in 45 seconds.
They are not a good shooting team
Worthless
Why the fuck is he back in the game. God fucking damnit
Ugh. Like that. He didn't need to chase the guard and foul.
We're back into our "take all the bad shots" phase of life
We have to live with Z now
It's a bricklayers convention.

And of course refs always make anticipation calls.

Was it all the same guy?
Never mind that he completely hooked Brazile's arm.
They go 10 minutes without a shot, suddenly make two and its a 3 point game.
We are not playing the right offense.
The refs aren't calling anything when they miss shots and crash the boards
Brazile and that guy are going to be fighting before this is over.
They'll T up Brazile when it happens.
There it is.
Play gorilla ball and get surprised when you get out-gorilla'd.
Brazile always looks like he thinks he's being punished that he has to shoot free throws.
We're about to get fricked
That's bs
Fuck that. They're setting up for a Texas-style open to the second half.
And the fucking begins
All announcers and the rules expert said there was no way it was flagrant. Huh.
Bullshit. I hope that pisses us off
The ref called the foul on StJohns..
Fucking awful
Complete bullshit.
We are wilting.
Zilch got lost again.
We go to shit every time we put Z on the court.
Quote from: BASS on Mar 22, 2025, 02:37 PMBullshit. I hope that pisses us off
Apparently just the opposite.
We got fucked and Z is absolutely a liability out there. Damn
8-0 bases loaded B1
We got all the way fucked on that one call
Fouls are 8-6 us
Atta boy Boogie. He could take this over.
Quote from: Hogfan58 on Mar 22, 2025, 02:40 PM8-0 bases loaded B1
We scored all 8 runs with 2 outs
Someone just break Z's leg so Cal doesn't make the mistake of putting him back on the court. We're 4-on-5 on offense with him out there just standing.
9 fouls on us
This is the worst possible turn of events.
Two of our best on the bench in foul trouble, missing layups, and refs favoring the better seed
We're going to have to be damn near perfect to win this one
It's entering foul called every drive Texas territory
We need Knox to reappear.
Quote from: Sus-Scrofa on Mar 22, 2025, 02:44 PMWe're going to have to be damn near perfect to win this one
Yep. We've lost focus and the fouls are causing us to pucker. While on the offensive end we're getting mauled.
Just remember, we always do this. We get a lead, we regress and let them back in it. We get behind, we come back. We are a sine wave team, there is no steady progression of a game with us.

I'd rather see Lawson Blake out there.
Get to the half and keep it close
Now a technical? What the fuck are they doing?
Do these dipshits with microphones know what's going on?
They're just making stuff up now
You've got to be kidding with these misses
Refs arent going to let us win this one
We are playing down to their level.
And our old nemesis the missed layup is showing up.
I hope Z has a great career at Arkansas State
God, we have to make some shots
We can't even make FTs
Both teams shooting under 30%.
It's a total street fight.
How's that big bastard just now getting his first foul
He clearly fouled him though.
Z contributed something!
Credit to that lanky cracker. He had a good final minute.
Of course the half ends on a no call lol.
Also ends on a 7-0 run against those bitches.
I'll take it!
I told ya. Up and down. I'll take it.
Now we get Aidoo and Brazile back.
Good finish!!!
Tough, physical game....
How the mother fuck was that not a foul on that last shot? I mean, holy fuck.
Should have been and-one on that last shot. Of course they won't call it

Box the fuck out every once in a while or make some layups and we're up 15.
God DAMN that was another foul on that shot.
Getting fucked all over and still fought for the lead.
if we could have finished at the rim, this wouldn't be a game.
that said with all the time aidoo sat, i'll take the lead at half.
Refs need to even out the fucking in the 2nd half. Good half kids

I agree on the strategy but they won't call the fouls, so hopefully Aidoo can finish and/or feed someone else cutting when they double team him.

11/13 for them
9/13 for us.
9/13 is close to our season percentage I think
Lol I can't believe they called that
I get that's a foul, but it shouldn't be
Aidoo you idiot.
Done zilch in this game after being so good on Thursday
Well shit
Of course that guy's a bear under the glass, the refs refuse to blow the whistle on him
Ughhhhhhhh.
After the under 16 Aidoo is just going to have to play with 3 fouls and not foul any more.
Man they got the quick whistles
And there it is again. Their guy was mailing Aidoo.
I see how they're going to make us lose
Regardless of the fact edjufor pushing aidoo out
Z refuses to try to block anyone out.
That will probably do it. Refs want to make sure that shit hole New York gets a team to the Sweet 16
St John's never fouls
Fuck them
Z GOT A BOARD AND GOT FOULED.
Will wonders never cease.
There you go, Z
Gator don't play no shit
Big Honky gonna need to get mean inside this half
Wagner just taking over. Good. F 'em all.
St Johns has one player single handedly keeping this from being a blow out
Ref at almost half court calling the foul underneath the basket..
Cal's daughter looks like she's doing better
driving off the screens.
Z needs to play like he's 6'8" 250

I mean, It wasn't like we didn't expect it.
If Z can somehow get to the 12 minute mark or so, then we go back to Aidoo.
Having Brazile out there with him helps.
Spike Lee looks like a retard in a swimming pool
Color guy extremely disappointed SJ can't make a layup.
That was a double dribble
Aidoo back in with 3.
Davis goes stright yp!!!!
So now we're not even allowed to challenge a shot.
So much for letting them play, huh Chuck?
What a pass by Wagner
That was a foul but a bodyslam to boogie wasn't...
The color guy might be bias
Man this is stressful
Holy fuck he got tackled on that layup...no foul.

We are schooling them inside on offense.
Aidoo. Seen that before lol!!!
Let's fucking go!!
They fall apart if Brazile hits that open 3
Aidoo getting hand raped down low no call
Brazile shoots a decent percentage from 3 (not today) but his shot is so strange. It's a realllllly slowwwwww settttt shotttttt.
Good grief that guy was arm bar on Fland !!!
Fuck these announcers.
And Brazile says fuck yo couch.
They are beating the hell out of Aidoo.
Penetrating guard play opens it up baby!
Keeping hopes low, keeping hopes low, keeping hopes low
4 on Aidoo.
Motherfucker.
Yeah, I fully expect the refs to take over under 10 minutes and we are left with a huge disappointment.
Let's go!
I think Richmond can square up with that big bastard
That foul was 3 seconds late
Who is that girl in the red dress right behind the Great Clips about 10 feet from Pitino? She got nice lips.
If you're going to write "Let's go!", please provide some color to the excitement. Score. Something.

Z just fouled out with 12 minutes left. Aidoo has 4 fouls.
We're up 10 but running out of players so it probably won't hold.
With Z and aidoo's foul trouble this is bad for the last 10 minutes.
Quote from: Guardrail on Mar 22, 2025, 03:39 PMEdufor straight mugging folks and can't get called
He has punched Boogie in the throat at least twice
Z really shouldn't throw his face into the guy's elbow like that.
They just let that motherfucker run around like a bull in a china shop.
Their big guy can't foul, apparently. They drive to the basket it is 1000% a foul on us. Not sure what Z was supposed to do there.

This is what I'll never understand. We have room on the team for a huge motherfucker that might not be skilled to just go out there and knock the living out of that dude.
I don't like it when DJ is on the bench
With 10 to go I'll be good with going small and bringing back some Nolan ball.
I saw Knox and Richmond are out leading scorers. Not good.
Brazile is a beast on the board. He has leveled all the way up the past couple of weeks
Don't foul
Him on a damn layup!!!!
Don't foul!!
Lol that guy bounced off his own teammate before he went down
Quote from: HOGSRUNWILD on Mar 22, 2025, 03:42 PMThis is what I'll never understand. We have room on the team for a huge motherfucker that might not be skilled to just go out there and knock the living out of that dude.
I was just about to type that
Where the fuck was that foul? That's bullshit
That isn't a foul on our end of the floor.
Tiny bumps are a foul on one end.
Refs aren't calling anything when guys drive to the basket
Boogie got mauled, nothing. The refs are absolutely on the take.
We go up and down.
Wagner should be back in for Boogie.
At the under 8 Aidoo comes back.
Feels like we are getting HOSED with no calls on our end
Have to withstand this run. It's our expected 3 or 4 minute drought.
55-49 10 minutes left.
We need Wagner back in NOW.
Spike Lee is such a Johnny come lately when it comes to St. John.
About like Ashley Judd and the Mildcats.
55-49 10 left
Brazile is 0-for-the-game on 3s. Sometimes you have to give it up and choose to do something else.
My gosh these fouls are stupid
St Johns cant shoot for shit so lets put them on the free throw line
My god Knox was knocked to the ground on the rebound.
It's a fucking whistle every 10 seconds.
Time for Cal to send a quick text to BMFP "what words should I use next time I talk to the ref?"
They will not call a foul on their big guy
Again mauled.
Comical now.
Wagner is tired.
He's been a beast
That's four on Davis
These refs are fucking awful
Keep attacking the lane.
Surely we have some bench rider whose never seen a minute of playtime that we can send out to punch that guy in the throat
What did they just call?
Now it's 4 on Davis. Boogie was coming in anyway.
If Aidoo and Davis foul out this is our team for the rest of the game:
Boogie
Wagner
Knox
Richmond
Brazile
If one of them fouls out.....who the fuck knows.
Now the cockwaffles are gonna try to foul out Nelly.
Quote from: Sus-Scrofa on Mar 22, 2025, 03:50 PMThey will not call a foul on their big guy
Just said the same thing. He has a completely different set of rules than everyone else.
Absolute fuckery but we're battling our asses off
(previous) ticky tac bullshit foul on Davis. Then, shove Knox down, nothing.
Ejiofor has 17 assaults but somehow only 2 fouls.
If I'm Petino I switch to a zone now and blow our minds
Quote from: buff2.0 on Mar 22, 2025, 03:49 PMTime for Cal to send a quick text to BMFP "what words should I use next time I talk to the ref?"
I was always a fan of the 2009 UGA game "oh so my guys get the lead and then the flags come out?"
I take it we are losing?
We have more points in the paint and yet way more fouls. These refs are comical.
I've never seen one team be allowed to be so physical vs the other
We consistently have problems against inbounds pressure. I don't understand how our guys can't cut hard to the basket ball.
Quote from: BleedinRed on Mar 22, 2025, 03:56 PMI take it we are losing?
The refs have almost caught up.
Hogs 61-57.
61 57 nailbiter incoming
Stop setting Brazile up for threes
This is criminal
Time?
Foul called before the fucker even moved.
They know they're getting the calls. They're going to go after us and foul us out. Refs won't call the same on our end.
Well I'll be damn. They'd called a foul. And the announcer is incredulous
61-58 under 7 to go.
That's absolutely a foul, based on everything that has been called against us today.
lol they are the first team to foul someone out.
Good, got one of theirs fouled out. He means a lot more to them than Z does to us.
Shut the fuck up, bitch ass announcer, he was moving.
Up 3, 6.28 to go
haha, that would have been TWO fouls if we were playing defense.
But Lappas hasn't seen one bad call on the other end.
Even the worst goaltending call in the history of the game.
Steritore can get fucked with a cactus. A cactus coated with Magic Johnson's hiv.
We did nothing on that rebound.
This is ridiculous.
What absolute horse shit
Went over Boogie's back on the rebound, foul called on Boogie.
They maul us on rebounds...
Over the back and we get called for the foul.
We are not allowed to play defense or fight for a rebound.
If we lose this game, Cal has nothing to gain at this point in his career by not calling the refs out.
Climbed all over our back and we get a foul call.
Just cheating at this point.
This is a home game, and the refs know it
They didn't mention that we got fouled on every one of those shots under the bucket.
TB smacked in the head on that layup.
Brazile was the one with his hand on the ball.... how the fuck was that a foul on him?
Braz get mauled on that shot, no foul.
No way we win this. The refs won't allow it.
Jerry Seinfeld now in the game.
Quote from: Papa Pigeritus on Mar 22, 2025, 04:05 PMJerry Seinfeld now in the game.
And takes Brazile to school
7 more fouls and they have 9 more FT's. This has been a hosing of epic proportions.
17 stepped out of bounds on that dunk
This one announcer has a hard on for SJ.
And when we do foul him they don't call it!
That little rat faced fuck Pitino needs to shut the fuck up about bad calls.
#24 with a soft baseline 12-footer, brings a tear to my eye.
Billy playing!!!
We could not have played these two games without Boogie. We simply don't have enough players for this style of game.
Adam Ford fighting the good fight
https://x.com/AdamFord92/status/1903552326167564290
Hogs 68-64 at 2:51.
This is still gonna come down to who makes more point than the other team.
This is one of the worst officiated games I have seen in a long time.
Quote from: Piggielicious on Mar 22, 2025, 04:10 PMThis is one of the worst officiated games I have seen in a long time.
it's right up there with the first Texas game
They're putting a lot of effort into trying to take points off our board right now
I thought they could review only inside 2 minutes.
These guys would have finished about where ou/LSU did in the SEC
We are not allowed to rebound.
Let Wagner drive every possession
SEC refs would have had big guy fouled out in the first half of every game
Watch for more ref fuckery here in the last minute
Ball don't lie.
Clunk FT for them.
Let's make ours and move on...
They have to hammer us five times to get one foul.
70-64 41 seconds left
Wagner made sure not to cross mid court until he knew Richmond was up and trailing him for the pass out of the trap. Savvy. That dude has been excellent ever since Boogie went out early in the season with his injury.
Now SJ is purposefully fouling but the refs still won't call
Cant steal the ball so beat the fuck out of the ball handler
Jesus tackle the guy out of bounds
Richmond misses the FT but gets back for the defensive rebound.
There is zero chance Davis wasn't fouled on that turnover. No chance at all.
70-64 :42 left richmond going to the foul libe
Holy shit. No call??!!!?!??
That's frickjng egregious.
Davis should have called TO.
Now we are in double bonus. If we make FTs we win.
lol they cant be called for a foul when actually trying to foul.
I remember that tactic working really well in NBA Jam. Dribble down the lane and some dude just beats the shit out of you
Mugged.
Dude got gang raped
It doesn't help that we went full retard there. Just get calm you tits they'll foul you and so what if you get a 10 second call...that's ten seconds off the clock.
Up 6 29.4 left St. John's ball probably
Fucking picked his leg up and slammed him. Fucking comical.
These refs are horrible
Kick ball and a foul by St. John's ridiculous
24 kicked the ball then kicked nelly
24 was pushing him out of bounds!
Next they're going to slam someone through the announcers table WWE style with no whistles blown.
Ejiofor almost fell on him because he was nudging him so hard.
Quote from: animal on Mar 22, 2025, 04:18 PMIt doesn't help that we went full retard there. Just get calm you tits they'll foul you and so what if you get a 10 second call...that's ten seconds off the clock.
Foul you yes, get called....maybe
Kick ball on SJ
Clutch free throws by Knox
Holy shit...
FUCK YEAH!!!!!
72-66 12.3 we at the line
Turnovers.
Hogs gonna win this one.
Good job fellas! Very happy for ALL of you!!!!
Played their asses off!!!!
Gonna call the hogs via text to Dr. Lamont Parsons !!!!

Holy fucking shit. We're going to do it. And Texas tech or Drake aren't exactly Duke or Auburn.
Very satisfying win.
Very satisfying
I'll be God damnned
I sure would hate to have missed this game because of being on a plane or something.
I sure hope the New Yorkers dont choke on their White Wine Spritzers tonight. That was for Mike Anderson dickheads.
Just touched down.
WOO PIG!!!!
And now they're going to make our win look bigger with six bonus free throws
HOGS WIN! Fuck you Pitino!
Oh my fucking god. Sweet sixteen bitches!!
Fuck these refs
Fuck the Big East
Fuck Spike Lee
Fuck St Johns
Also, Megan... would.
FUCK YOU, htl!!
Most gratifying win since '94. I said it!
When we were 0-5 in the SEC, everyone who thought we'd be in the Sweet 16 go ahead and raise your hands.
Stop lying. Unreal turnaround. We are so fucking back.
FUCK YOU NEW YORK COCKSUCKERS. All the way back to the scunge factories you call homes.

Oh, and THANK YOU HTL. THANK YOU.

What a game! Cal coached a killer game against a team with lots of advantages plus the refs. These players have really come together at the right time.
I hated this team early on but Cal kept them focused. Great coaching job. Fucking sweet 16 is way further than I thought they'd go.

That of course, and for overcoming the brutal zebra rape today.
Somebody mentioned the lady at the table with red lips today. She was wearing a red dress, I noticed her the other night in the Missouri game when she was wearing a black dress. I'd really like to know more about her.
Perv mode off, MAN WHAT A WIN.
Somebody is always stepping up now. Today, Knox and Richmond.
That was a terribly called game on both sides. That said, fuck Pitino and the announcers. They didn't want us to win. Wasn't pretty but the job is done.
Also, we ended with more points than them so we got the key to the game

It was, but it was way worse for one side than the other. The better team ended up winning in the end despite the poor officiating.
That call near the end on the sideline where our guy was kneed out of bounds and his leg pulled and no call was BS.

How about Richmond and Knox today? We won with 2 freshman leading the way. Both played their asses off on both sides.
Billy and Knox were huge. Ball handling at the end with Wagner and Boogie helped too. Good team win

So I know it's not Pitino's thing, but it was coaching malpractice not to throw zone at us a little
Big props to Cal & the team, I'll admit gave up on them weeks ago so I am shocked that they were able to get their shit together, especially w/o 2 of their best players. He might actually know how to coach a little bit. 8) :beer:

These 17 channels they are using frightens and confuses me...
Let's see what the CBS guys have to say. Halftime starting.
hopefully they're coming up here in a couple of minutes.
I could care less what Clark Fucking Kellog and Barkley say. Announcers never have any creativity and always just parrot the ranking or the street name. Their expertise is being creative while spouting stats.
Now they'll ride Cal because he's a bigger name until we meet a 1 seed. Nolan knew these announcers were always idiots.
Did y'all see the clip from the press thing?
Richmond wanted his name plate thing and took it. Someone told him to put it back, so he did.
Then Cal said you can keep it so he snatched them all up.

Advanced to the Sweet 16 the last 4 times we've gone to the tournament. Something I never thought I'd see since I really started watching Arkansas sports when I was about 10, so in 1998. I missed all the good Nolan years, then got to suffer through Heath and Pelphrey. The Muss years were the best time in Arkansas basketball during my fandom. I'm loving every minute of this.
Spending three minutes on analyzing "finding the seams" is an idiotic way to analyze our game.

When JFB got things going in the 60's dumbass Duddy Waller was the bball coach. He was horrible and Lanny Van Eman was hired and he was who finally got the program rolling a bit.

HTL is the Jim Kramer of sports predictions and by him shitting on the hogs, it guaranteed a run of success. HTL, I thank you for your contributions.
I guess it will be a game by game tradition to name the most egregious ref call.
Game 1: The Boogie Body Slam
Game 2: So many to choose from, but I have to go with upgrading Brazile's "foul" which was kind of a mutual thing, to a Flagrant 1, when even all the biased commentators said nah that's nothing.

Game 2: So many to choose from, but I have to go with upgrading Brazile's "foul" which was kind of a mutual thing, to a Flagrant 1, when even all the biased commentators said nah that's nothing.
Taking bets on what it will be against Texas Tech.
I still don't think Richmond's block was goaltending. But yeah it would be hard to pick just one from this steaming pile of shit.
Quote from: HOGSRUNWILD on Mar 22, 2025, 09:09 PMI don't think we are really appreciating what a huge contribution that a key member of the "Razorback Family" has made.
HTL is the Jim Kramer of sports predictions and by him shitting on the hogs, it guaranteed a run of success. HTL, I thank you for your contributions.
He has certainly cemented his place in the anals of woopigs for his contribution to this year's Sweet 16 appearance.
My only regret is he didn't take me and you up on the wager. Little did he know we were going to pool our winnings and buy him a Tesla as a thank you.

It most definitely was not goaltending.

He's a little crusty now.

Y'all wrong. It was definitely goal tending.

I will never forget, and my dad won't let me either. Packer called us streetball or whatever vs the smart kids. My dad drilled it into me that you don't know how smart or not they are, never judge, just play and never underestimate someone. Fuck that fudge Packer, however crusty he is.

SJ led 4-2 at the beginning of the game.
They led 32-28 near the end of the first half. We then went on a small run to end the half up 3.
They never led again.

Show your work here. It did not look to be on its way down, on or in the cylinder, or have already touched the backboard when he blocked. Therefore, it wasn't goaltending.
Re-watched the last 7 minutes of the game this morning, trying to pay attention to the color guy. He wanted St John's to win soooo bad it was sickening. He must live in NY and had $$ on them.
I just now realized SJ shot 28% overall and 2/22 from 3pt. We didn't shoot 3's much better (2/19) but overall were 43%. Sure, they may have had an off night but credit our D, and we didn't shoot much better from deep.

I guess their best player was full of quit because they had that dude out of the game in the late going.
we blocked 7 shots and they hadn't played a team nearly as big and long as arkansas.
for all the crying about them having a bad night shooting, yes, our defense had a lot to do with it.
That was too really good defensive teams going at it. SJ forced us to shoot worse than usual. We were even better on defense.
I watched the game from a plane going from LR to Vegas, wasn't sure I'd be able to, but surprisingly the buffering/freezing wasn't too bad. I would've hated to miss that one. And Spike Lee should stick to movies/commercials because the teams he roots for never win shit.
And a Hog call broke out on plane after the game. :))
I can see us beating Tech, then losing to the eventual national champion for the 3rd straight tourney (Florida).
Maybe UConn upsets Florida and we get some payback. Not holding my breath though.

He grew up, went to college, and coached (at least part of his career) in NYC.
All of his coaching career was in the Northeast. Except for basketball travel, he's probably never set foot outside that area.
So it's almost like watching Jay Bilas call Duke games.

They'll announce the schedule later tonight but has there been any indication yet what time we'll play on Thursday?
Jay Bilas would be in last place of the Woopid bracket challenge.

Haven't seen an official announcement but I'd wager we are the 1st game Thursday in San Francisco.
