Morgan State's Ameer Ali throws Oklahoma's Blake Griffin over his back during a first round action in Kansas City.

Ameer Ali says it was just a "misunderstanding". How is that when you toss somebody over your back. When that happened it took me back to Thabeet getting tossed over Blair's back.

[badger]

Here's something I didn't notice during the game last night - the ref actually grabbed the player before tossing him from the game.

What I did notice from replays was Taylor making a beeline for Ali when it happened. If that player didn't get ejected by the refs, I'm sure Taylor would have ejected Ali for them.

Sam Bradford would be proud of Blake!

The diff is Blair had the ball and was ripping it away from Thabeet, this guy was just being a dumb sh*t

Agreed. It was just a sight you don't see very often.

Here was another cool site at last night's game:

Im not sure why but I just laughed my *** off!

If Capel ever gets his face plastered all over this site like :stunned: or [hairGel] or :eddie: or :mack: or :les: I nominate this as the source, taken during last night's game vs. Morgan:

Also, I vaguely remember this happening, but don't remember the ball getting punted, like the pic implies:

[1890MilesToNorman]

looks like a roughing the punter call to me? Damn Blake cost us 15 yards.

[the_ouskull]

What the flipping pic doesn't show was the fact that Ali had his arms locked around Blake's arm in order to maintain a hold on it while he used it to throw Blake. Saying it was an accident is ridiculous. You don't accidentally grab someone's arm and flip them over your back. If he'd have uncrossed his arms, there's nothing else that would have happened. He didn't.

I just found that pic and thought we'll never see another photo like it ever again - two sets of shorts seemingly coming out of each other in opposite directions. There are, in fact, no wire photos of the incident as it was happening other than the shorts one. There are, however, tons of youtube vidyas.

[yermom]

Blake never even looked back at him and just walked off.

he's a badass :D

[NormanPride]

Yeah, that was about the most badass thing I saw all day. UCONN and UNC can have their 50 point victories. I watched the best player in 20 years take a judo throw and walk away like it was nothing.

Blake Griffin is all that is man.

[AlbqSooner]

Thanks for the pics Baj. Blake Griffin's manner of handling that shot his NBA stock even higher. Truly a class act. Thanks his parents. They taught him to be the kind of man who will respond in that fashion.

[Collier11]

The thing is, why would you hope that BG retaliates,im pretty sure he would seriously hurt someone if he ever got mad enough to retaliate

[Sooner74]

Blake would have taken that guy out in one punch. I am glad Blake didn't retaliate though because we are going to need him tomorrow. I think if Meatchicken collapses on him our guards are going to have a field day. I think we have a great shot tomorrow.

Wow. Looks good, it's just freaking hilarious. Dean probably still hasn't recovered.

[badger]

I'll do more tomorrow, but this is just for starters - in tribute to the poor white guy that took so much abuse near the basket for Mich :D

Is it just me or did anyone else notice there seemed to be extra-ordinarliy more tv images of the michigan coach on the sidelines than Capel? I just thought it strange that almost every time there was a tv time-out, we were shown the LOSING coach's face. Just wondering.

[StoopTroup]

Seeing Blake breakin it down was awesome. Didn't know he knew how to Old School.

http://a.espncdn.com/media/apphoto/232401ab-812d-4d65-ae8b-98da31b4f803.jpg

Thx to infinity for all the pics. SPEK!

Glad Blake is OK. He's been hammered hard since the texas game. Amazing Player. His Brother Taylor is stepping up his play too IMO. GO Griffs! GO SOONERS ! ! !

[badger]

Man, after we win it all (knock knock) it'll be fun to look back at these :D

And... the same goes for the other side:

That was AWESOME how BG kept the ball dribbling even after going to the floor, even after the play was whistled dead, even as he was getting back up :D Ok, here's the requested Flynn shots:
