Apparently a small fire in one of the suites.

Buddy is a firefighter, guess they may need to delay the game to clean the water?

Thanks for posting factchecker. I have never figured out how to post a twitter post.

Mike Anderson would applaud the speed at which the fire in Bud Walton was contained and water was cleaned up. #Fastest40

No problem.  On mobile it might be different but this is how I do it on a laptop:

go to twitter
find tweet
on tweet there are four options (from left to right): reply, retweet, like, and more
"more" is the option represented by three little dots.
click on the dots to open a drop down with multiple options
select Copy link to Tweet
a text box should appear with the tweets url selected/highlighted
You can either copy or cut from this
--- I like to cut b/c it confirms that I captured the tweet ---

simply paste the url into the hogville text box (post reply)

*don't embed tweet- it copies a whole bunch of other code and jargon

if you copy and paste you don't have to use the twitter function on hogville... just copy/cut, paste, and post


Thank you for your great play by play--- Go Hogs

I asked one of the Foundation reps if it would be possible to play one game a year in Barnhill and they said that the way the seating and floor is configured it's pretty much not an option.

I think it would be awesome to play an old SWC opponent there once a year.  If you built it up and played a team like Texas you could have a rocking atmosphere and prime time coverage.

I hope they evacuated that section and it is not a sign of attendance.

That would be awesome . there was no place like barnhill when the crowd go going. that advantage we had was amazing . that crowd could take over a game

You had me worried there for a minute because from the TV audio there was not fire in the Bud all through the game.

And when the camera looked around there was nobody there...

Great beat down, though!

Fire in the Bud! New party call for firing up the hookah.

I've had one of my hotels catch on fire. It is nothing to play with obviously. Some people don't know that sprinklers only go off in the vicinity of a fire. Movies that show it going off throughout a whole building are usually wrong. Some places have changed their local codes to even include some type of fire suppression systems in individual residential houses. They tried to do that in a Memphis area suburb. It didn't get past the town leaders when the local builders started to scream about it. 
If I'm going to cheer players and coaches in victory, I damn sure ought to be man enough to stand with them in defeat.
