plus if it was anyone from the SEC vs baylor or iowa state (o hey those actually happened) you probably wouldnt have heard a peep, it seemed like it was just supposed to be another way to cheer against kansas

[5% Tint]

well you also dont want to be a part of the loser conference if youre florida, etc

[5% Tint]

but i see how thats not really an option for them like it was for mizzou

[VHGisdead]

conference pride makes total sense in football if you have or might soon have a championship-caliber team. It's just practical to want everyone to see your conference as the best

[the scofflaw]

what are you goin on about here

hope this doesn't get vac8ed!

[the scofflaw]

i think nascar driver darrell waltrip sums up what we're all about here in this thread

watching the Ky game last night, I realized what a fan goes thru, you get emotionally involved, you want them to do good, you want a win!

[Spoilt Victorian Child]

That is quietly the dumbest thing I've seen in several weeks.

[Dear You]

You want your team to win, as a fan.

This is a revelation.

[the scofflaw]

[Spoilt Victorian Child]

I don't actually recognize that guy. Did he play at all this season?

[neuartillery]

That's Stevie. He played 35 minutes last night but all of it was directly behind Anthony Davis.

Section 72. Traveling
Art. 5. After coming to a stop when neither foot can be the pivot foot:
a. One or both feet may be lifted, but may not be returned to the playing court, before the ball is released on a pass or try for goal;

Should've posted the second part of the rule haha

b. The pivot foot shall not be lifted before the ball is released to start a dribble.

So yes, never mind, it was the right call. I've seen players get away with that before, but I suppose it was mostly in pick up games. While it's not as blatant as this situation, refs could really call a lot more travels as players catch the ball on the run and start dribbling.
