Vanderbilt a contrast to BYU, classy.
Here's what transpired when someone from the press told Vanderbilt's coach Georgetown's Jeff Green may have travelled on that last shot:
"Vanderbilt coach Kevin Stallings refused to ruin Green's big moment. 'I'm certainly not going to take away from the dignity of this game,'' Stallings said. ''I haven't seen the replay. Don't care to. He made a great shot.''' Contrast this with all the snivelling from BYU folks over seeds, ref calls and conspiracies that went on for days and days after the Xavier game.

Because only BYU fans snivel and gripe over this stuff, right?

BYU fans are unuquely pathalogical and extreme about this stuff. Waters had a wonderful post on this on CB, saying BYU just needs to go out and win rather than snivelling about being cheated. Of course, he was persecuted extensively for it.

Care to check a Vanderbilt student or alumni message board this evening? I'm guessing the student section is probably a little less civil about the no-call.
You quoted the coach, and yes, he was classy in defeat. Any instances where BYU coaches were any less classy in defeat? And it was a travel, in case you missed it (all 47 times Gumbel showed it after the game). |

I saw the play and the replays over and over again on about 47 television sets. I saw no travel. All I saw was two Vanderbilt guys fouling Green and Green making the shot.

I'm just glad an SEC team got beat. Butler had a chance but choked against Florida. I'll never root for a team from the conference that was the driving force behind the BCS.

The reason so many fouls were called against BYU was because of BYU's poor defense and fouling. It was some of the worst defense I have seen all season from BYU. And that's what led to the loss. |

Please go here and lets see how classy Vandy fans are about the call
http://vanderbilt.rivals.com/forum.a...=1087&fid=1953 a few headlines 1. It should be called the Elite 7 2. 13 page photo spread did he travel you decide 3. we got screwed 4. Vanderbilt did not lose they were not beaten 5. They are calling it the play 6. F$ck you refs 7. "Whats the point in having these rules anyways? I mean if the refs are too scared to call anything or they just don't care or have an agenda there is no point in having any rules at all." 8. He F$cking walked and Vandy was screwed, why is that so hard to admit? The best team lost. a few other side notes: Georgetown needs to retire the numbers of the refs if they win hte national championship. Everyone that had Vandy in their brackets should be able to keep going and should still get the points because they got screwed. They have a sticky at the top of the board saying "Did Jeff Green travel? you decide." Sounds like they are taking this loss with class. No bitching and moaning going on from Vandy fans.
