SFTC Ghosts of Christmas Eve past

December 24, 2008

"I told the team that's the only thing I wanted [for Christmas]. I just wanted to win a bowl game," Irish coach Charlie Weis said.

A Happy Holiday to all and a great 2015.

It had to happen one day

December 20, 2012

Yeah, OKC were on a 12 game win streak.

Yeah, they playing 3 games in 4 nites. 
(Home win vs.Spurs and revenge win @ ATL then travel to MINN)

Yeah Durant and Westbrook went for 30+ each.

But they lost.

Also a bad night for the crowd went 2 up and 9 down..

It’s a turnaround jump shot/ It’s everybody jumpstart

December 18, 2008

Amare and the crowd received a  beatdown from Brandon Roy.

From the game recap:
Roy was 14-of-27 from the field and 19-of-21 at the line. He topped his career high of 38 set last Friday night in a double-overtime loss to the Los Angeles Clippers,

Amare wasn't bad: 6/11 from the field & 11/11 free throws for 23.


Shaq on the game:

"We gave another game away," Phoenix center Shaquille O'Neal said. "We're not getting loose balls, and you can't have 16 turnovers. And you've got to stop somebody. You can't let a guy go for 52. It was not acceptable." 

Time keeps on slippin’, slippin’, slippin’ into the future.

With four years of hindsight, we look at this and wonder: 
"What were they thinking? 

• Stoudemire was trying for the NBA's first 10-game streak of 30 point games since LBJ from March 22-April 10 2006.

• LBJ had only gone off for 30+ in six of his 28 games that season

THE GAME:

• LBJ went for  7/11 from field along with 7 dimes in the 1H 

• Amare scored 10 in the 1H and ended his streak scoring 24 for the game.

Where were you when we needed you, Futureman?


Record for consecutive 30+ point games:

Most consecutive games, 30 or more points
65-Wilt Chamberlain, Philadelphia, November 4, 1961-February 22, 1962

We may lose and we may win though we will never be here again

Remember when there were full game props?

The debate on the boards: Do you go with the Bills "D" who had not allowed a rusher more than 70 yards? Or do you go with the Beast? 

In true SFTC fashion, the crowd plays the guy who's on commercials or has a great nickname.

Here's Lynch's day:

Notice when he gets pulled from the game?  
Less than three minutes into the second half.
No injury, just take the rest of the afternoon off. 
Two yards short of the prop going over

Green the researchers!!! 

Thanks to footballreference.com play index for the Lynch rushes

Great moments in SFTC history

December 14, 2009

















Back in 2009, four  match-ups for a Monday.

Not to disappoint, the smaller percentage won all four.

Well played, SM. Well played.

KOBE in his fourth game back  from his Achilles surgery. Here's his 1H line:

NO PLAYER          MIN   FG FGA 3P 3PA FT FTA OR DR TOT A PF ST TO BS PTS

4 points-7 assists- 5 turnovers were no match for match for Durant (22) and Westbrook (15) as OKC rocked ahead by DD

SFTC: Beaten by a kicker!

December 12, 2010







Denver a four point road favorite ran into the man!!!

Jay Feely: 5 FG/4 PATS/TD (Fake FG) =25 points.

Of course this wouldn't happened, if you-know-who was playing .

Video of fake field goal. ( Classic kicker going into the stands)

The thinking was they average 17 and 18 PPG, 
so 18+ for the 1H is a lock.

They went  05-09 in front of the arc
One for six behind the arc,
Williams kicked in 2 free throws.
Giving them 15.
In the last minutes of 1H, both missed fadeaway jumpers.
SFTC classic!
