The Blackburn Review Giveaway
January 23, 2010 Tom Blackburn 
There are some things in life that cannot be forgotten. The attacks on 9/11, the Britney Spears upskirt picture and when Clay Aiken officially came out of the closet. All of the aforementioned events shocked Amurica to its very core.
Now, we can etch Kurt Huelsman's dunk on the Wall of Shockitude. It goes without saying that a catastrophic event like Huelsman's slam must be commemorated with its very own t-shirt.
The first ten (10) emails we receive from a udayton.edu email address will be bestowed with a free Kurt Huelsman "Dunk Heard 'Round the Miami Valley" t-shirt. Email blackburnreview@gmail.com with the subject heading, "Kurt Huelsman, The G.O.A.T."
The shirts are made of the finest Costa Rican cotton and come in large only (So, no fatties). Act now or live with horrendous regret.
P.S. -- What's going on with the corners of Doris Burke's mouth? Yikes.

****THE GREAT GIVEAWAY IS OVER****
The following people will soon be living the dream: Steve Parker, Ben Simcik, Russ Pierce, Ryan Carpenter, John McCulloch, Joe DeLiberato, blog girlfriend Julia Prior, Cayle McEldowney, Lindsey Murphy (a name that gives all fellow Irishmen a rod), and Jeff Pfeiffer. Thanks to all.
We may sell some (a) if there is enough interest, and (b) we can sell them at a cheap enough price (I don't want to profit off of Kurt's brilliance).

I am thoroughly displeased that BR employees are ineligible for this fantastic T.
sent in my email...crossing my fingers to get one of these commemorative shirts.
There is nothing quite like an email from Tom BlackBurn that says my name followed by "you got it. its a coming." The exact quote that women across the Miami Valley have been hearing from him for years.
Turns out my udayton email account doesn't work anymore. Load of shit.
I can't wait to be living the dream.
awwwwwwwwwwwwww yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Please do sell these i woudl definitly want to buy a couple fo rmyself and friends....
blog girlfriend? i don't remember ever agreeing to that...
@Julia: you sound just like my current girlfriend
That shirt is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen.
I'll wait for the Zesty shirt.
Just checked the spread, UD -7.5. I took the Flyers, away game be damned.
@Julie: You sound like the girl locked in my basement.
Good Call Blackburn...if I wasn't a g-man i'd put a big spot on that too.
Whoa look at the sassy redhead behind the announcers...
someone get me a screen shot
@OB: I missed her.
@Blacky:It was the beginning of the broadcast when the talking heads were motoring.
how about that two by Wright?
Govens is looking good.
OB: Now my one mission is to get the screen-grab for the recap.
B: That is a righteous quest
Zone? We're fucked.
0-10 from three, if only I could believe well stop taking them.
Charles Little Updates from his facebook... wow Charles... wow
Charles Little: Never been so disappointed in one person.....fuckin unbelievable
Taylor Lally I'm sorry Charles...I swear she told me she was eighteen...
We better bring it to the A10 tournament, because that's the only way we're in the NCAA. We suck.
1 field goal in 10 minutes.... THATS FLYER BASKETBALL BABY!
Why not use the last time out BG?
Next game I'm taking a shot for every missed 3 pointer.
Sweet fucking Christ. What a terrible shot selection by Lowery.
"All we need is to win at either Richmond or Temple and we are a lock." Uh...yeah.
Anyone who is surprised raise your hand....
@ O'Brien
I wish I was too, how do you not let CJ take that last shot but rob ! ugh. time to let the drinks start to flow
this is a FUCK!
@Blackburn. No one should have their hand raised. At the beginning of the year, didn't we say this is a loss? At least I did. Granted St Joe's has shit the bed this year, but this is Dayton. On the road.
I am anxious to see how John and Adam spin this. They are our eternal optimists. We need some cheering up around here.
FUCK THE GODDAMN HAWK! I WANT TO FUCKING KILL THAT STUPID TWATFACE! WINGS FLAPPING NO MATTER WHAT, TAUNTING YOU, MAKING FUN OF YOU, PISSING YOU THE FUCK OFF...
he angers me more than anything Xavier has. including the ginger.
last year: we win this game barely by some stroke of luck
every other year: ud loses every a10 away game and makes you want to tear your eyes out
a10 away cancer is back after a short period of remission
That game made me throw up in my mouth. 19 missed 3s and 17 turnovers are strong building blocks for an L. I would like to thank Paul Willie and Josh Benson for their time on the floor today - 11 minutes of "play," 0-3 from the field, goose eggs all over the stat sheet with the noteable exceptions being their 5 TOs and 3 fouls. We could really do without those contributions when the Johnsons are going 5-20.
@Vern: absolutely, last year "we" make one more play and win this one. Last year Rob Lowery sprints the length of the court and wins one against Fordham, this year he gets his shit completely swatted. We have to beat X at home, and probably need a win at Temple to get serious looks at an at-large. Gonna be super tough.
@Jon Gruden: coach, welcome. it's an honor and a privilege.
I blame this loss on Tim Wabler. I have said it before and I'll say it again. They play more non-conference home games and the Flyers win this game (and the upcoming, impending loss at St Louis).
@Donoher: I'm sorry, could you repeat that?
@Donoher Wabler is licking his lips right now. He can't wait to make all that bank on an NIT home game
13% for the 3 point arc? Un-fucking-believable. I like to know Lowery's thought process in taking that last shot. Maybe he didn't see a WIDE OPEN CJ under the rim. FUCK!
Here's a quote from what looks to be a lady in her 50s on facebook. It's scathing, and oh so true.
Bonnie Martin- "...why would you allow them to rush off a shot with a time out available to set up a play, which has always been their strong suit. Who was coaching and in control, and if not, why not? Someone needs to answer for this one".
@Donoher- I'm not an optimist. In fact, I called this loss in a comment over in Secaur land. This team is entirely predictable, down to a possession by possession basis.
The people that comment on those facebook updates crack me up. It's like they think BG is reading their comments to the team during practice.
"On the bird headed back 2 Ohio. When I get there, I'm gonna sit in my room, think, & pray to Allah about the people around me... Peace" the big doggy.
how do I get my dirty hands on one of those cocksuckers?
I would definitely purchase a shirt. Make them available, plz
We crapped our pants, as usual. Gregory must go. What's so special about this guy? Oh ya, he won an NCAA game......ONE. That buys you a 10 year contract around these parts.
"I have no doubt that UD wins this one. The Hawks are in the midst of a death spiral and will not put up much of a fight." damn you
I think Don meant that UD ought to play more non-con road games so this type of environment is not so foreign to the team. They would be more comfortable and less likely to crap their pants against an inferior opponent, yes?
John is conspicuous by his absence/silence.
I don't think we lost because of the environment. I think we lost cause BG got out coached. They came out in a zone and we had no answer.
Here's a brain teaser, do we lose if Luke plays?
Luke Hendrick of course.
@OB : If Hendrick plays UD wins, at this point I'd rather have LH out there over Paul Willie.
Agreed. Williams looks lost now.
@O'B: I think UD wins this if it's a home game. Also, BG bashing is like my all-time favorite hobby, but I dunno what else he can do (other than recruit players who can actually shoot). I find it hard to believe that he's telling them to jack 22 3-pointers. I guess maybe come up with some plays to penetrate the zone? I'm still pissed 24+ hours later.
I THINK THE WRONG PLAYERS ARE SHOOTING 3"s MJ, RL, SHOULD NOT BE SHOOTING 3' THAT IS NOT THIER GAME. IN THE LAST GAMES .WE WILL SEE THAT THEY ARE SHOOTING THE 3' WRONG PLAYERS. THEY NEED TO MAKE THE EX. PASS. THEY NEED TO PLAY MORE LIKE A TEAM. EVERYONE WANTS TO BE A HERO.
