Good call. DT has taken a lot of flak this year, but I'm a big fan of him.

Read that. It's phenomenal. And everyone rep Rumblin. And buy him whiskey.

Rep to anyone who can come up with a gif of Ski blocking that shot.
It is a gif, but I can't get it off the site.

Talked to him briefly when I ran into him on campus. He was one of the most humble and genuine athletes I've talked to. For such a quiet guy, he has done a phenomenal job of representing the university and the basketball team. He's truly an all-time great Buff.
With that said, nothing beats the shot. Just check the avatar.

Rumblin ****ing killed that. Right up there with his Spencer piece for best reads from his blog.

I agree with this. Dustin has been a lot more aggressive lately, and at times is the only one to go hard to the rack. He's got a chip on his shoulder. I hope his stroke comes during the summer, as he could be a phenomenal player
It's been an awful season but I thought I'd share.
My parents are ardent CU supporters. They live in the mountain town of Leadville and don't miss a single CU home game. Until recently, when my father got a job driving a truck at the mine, he hasn't missed a CU home game in years in both football or basketball.
But this isn't about my dad. He's like the rest of us unstable CU fans. He's a freaking nut, hoping in football for glory days (or a bowl game) and loves basketball but has an unreserved hate for Xavier Talton and Johnson. Beside the point.
This is about my mom. A lukewarm CU fan that goes to the games for something to do. In order she likes games this way:
1) Nice fall football day where the sun is shining ("and there are no bad days in Boulder when the sun is shining" she always say)
2) Any basketball game.
She loves the Buffs. Understood my hate for the world when Spencer tore his ACL. Chest bumped me when we beat Kansas. Hates Arizona State and "that no-talent, thug" that elbowed Josh Scott a couple years ago. Was beside herself when the big galute from USC hip checked Askia a couple weeks ago and the refs didn't call a flagarant.
So tonight we are talking. She's coming down this weekend as they're trying to sell their place in North Boulder.
"Mom are you going to the game on Sunday," I said.
"Of course. Leave our tickets on the counter," she said.
I told her it was senior day and it would be the last time she'd ever see Askia Booker play at home.
There was a pause. And another. And another.
"I'm sad about that," she finally got out.
Ski has been my mom's favorite since he got to campus. This is a lady that read books at football games in the sun. This is a lady that has as much interest in sports as I do in the Kardashians.
But Ski has been her favorite player since his freshman year. "There's something about him. He's not big or the best. But, I don't know, there is something about him I like," she'd say.
I think that's my thought of Askia Booker. My feelings sway from this board. I like Ski, but swore at the 14 foot jumpers he'd pull in transition and scream at the awful 3's he'd take. I also broke stuff in celebration when he hit that 3 against Kansas.
But the kid had heart and my mom could see that. She saw past all the indiscretions that some had and realized the only thing you can't teach is effort. Someone on the board brought it up that he's the last strain to this time in CU basketball.
And as my mom said.
"Oh gosh no, I wouldn't miss it. He's the best."

Great post [MENTION=1140]hefdub[/MENTION]
Here is what I learned about CU basketball over the years
You favorite players will always leave.
It always feels like they leave too soon.
You will a always find a new favorite player.
You don't choose a new favorite player, it just happens.
Your new favorite player may not be who you expect.
And the number one thing I learned is to appreciate the guys while they are here because they are gone it the blink of an eye.
