Fortson To Play Tonight??

[Aaron Peters]

"don't be surprised if an old familiar face is playing point guard for the hog hoops team tonight vs. texas" that is what i was just told by a reliable source. In fact i've hear this from a couple people now. The Razorback Nation will have a man at the arena early to see if Fortson is warming up but don't be shocked if Fortson is playing tonight.

[HogInThaGrove]

God I hope so.  Could be ugly if not.  Hell, could be ugly if...

[WMHawgfan]

Wow! Thanks JL for giving him a couple of warmup games before throwing him out there against Texas! Almost seems like making his first game against UT is just further punishment.

[thirtythree]

thanks aaron.

[RAZ FAN]

Thanks for the update. Maybe this will be the spark to get it going.

[jst01]

well, it's a positive if only for the extra "energy" he might create. hope all goes well.

[ImMcLovin]

Would be really great!! I wish I knew for sure then I would attend!

just go. the chance you are there for a buzzer beater to beat the #1 team is worth it. you never know if you might witness Tex having a bad night and our guys shoot 67%.

[Razorod]

let's hope this comes to fruition. i'd love to see fortson on the court.

[Hogbody]

Sounds like a good chance he is playing from what I hear

I would go if I were you

[Razorpigg]

GO Courtney...Its ur burfday!!!!

[Porkem]

A buddy of mine just handed me two free tickets to tonight's game...good seats.  I live right on Dickson Street but none of my running buddies want to go the game.  Since Fortson might be playing....I'm thinking about going.

Here are my options.....

1.  Go to the arena...sell the two tickets together for as much as I can get and then buy a cheap or maybe even free ticket for myself and go down and sit in the student section.

2.  Go give them away and stay home and keep drinking, watch it on my 42'' LCD,  and rant on Hogville.

3.  Sell them on Dickson St. and watch the game at the bar.

What would you do?

[razorhead94]

My source is saying this as well

I don't know why, but I read this post and burst out laughing lol.  +1 for some odd reason.

"don't be surprised if an old familiar face is playing point guard for the hog hoops team tonight vs. texas"

Corey Beck?

I still don't look for Fortson to be back, but if he is it will really change the game.

BAR!! $1 Beers at Grubbs....if you can sell them for atleast $30 that should get you well wasted!! =)

That is exactly what I'm thinking.  I want to drink and watch it on TV...but I kind of want to take a flask and go to the game....then get wasted afterward.

Dang it!!! I wish I'd gone to the game. 

[Porkatarian]

It's true.   :razorback:


Porkatarian out...

I've decided....I'm going to the game.  Jumping in the shower right now.  Will hit the bars and catch up with y'all later tonight.  I should be good and drunk and ready to rant.  If Fortson plays and we win....I promise to be positive (at least for the night).

[thirtythree]

Thanks Pork!

[Breems]

A good question is when he'll play in the game as well...

1.)  Start.
2.)  After a few minutes in the first half.
3.)  The second half.

What do you guys think based on Pel's past methods and/or restrictions in the rulebook I haven't read?

If you have two free tickets and live a few blocks away..... go!!!!  I'm not happy with the way things are going but would love to be there (with or without Fortson).

Definitley off the bench. When? It depends on how Nobles, or whoever starts at the point, handles the pressure from Texas.

If it depends on Nobles' performance, Fortson will be in very soon.

[Porkem]

Thanks thirtythree....see ya later tonight.  I'm thinking Fortson will come in at the first TV timeout.  Somewhere around the 16 minute mark. 

[Hogbody]

Anyone wanna gimme tickets? Lol

[TRUHOG718]

anyone want my ticket for tonight?  correction I need an extra ticket for tonight!!   

[Hogbody]

Good job with all you do.

Thanks for good reporting.  PS:  I very much enjoy your youtube clip.  "We have the finest font on our teleprompters." <--Classic

He had to practice on his own, right?... So what is his conditioning like...

[Breems]

If Fortson plays and we win....I promise to be positive (at least for the night).

And if we don't win and play it close, you will be positive for the night as well?  *crosses fingers*

while blunting or not blunting? that is the question

[Danny J]

I will believe it when I see it. Just the cynic in me I guess.

[chiefsfan]

It's true.   :razorback:

Congrats on confirming this 3 minutes after the University did.   youre the man

[razobak]

Anyone still have their dreadlock wig from last year?

He has been practicing with the team fro several weeks now as I understand it.

He won't be in complete game shape, but better than just coming off the street.

[elksnort]

What is the over/under in turnovers tonight?

[hogdiggity]

Congrats on confirming this 3 minutes after the University did.   youre the man

man it is chippy over here, I haven't hung out in jump ball much lately!  Pork is a good guy, usually has good info

[Breems]

We are pleased that Courtney has done the things necessary for him to incorporate basketball fully back into his life," Pelphrey said. "In the past few months, Courtney has worked hard to address personal issues and meet objectives to facilitate his return to active competition.

This is the part I like to see.  Whether he makes a huge difference on the court or not, I'm glad he reached the goals he needed to reach.

Dude you're a student aren't you?

Just bought tickets at the window for $6.

I'm actually freakin' stoked about this game.

[SPAL]

this is the real deal..

however, it just went from a 30 point loss to a 25 point loss.

I like to kid him because his sources often end up being wrong just as much as they were right.  Posting after the UA announces it is one certain way to end up being right
