eh, for the record, i've done none of the illegal partying since HS. (and i've been outta school a couple years now. ) just throwing that out there.

That would be the same story for clutch then as well.

Not sure why anyone had to attack his opinion, especially one that seems pretty logical. He never once condoned the actions, rather just said the act alone is far from grounds to think that he's a bad person. Maybe he is, maybe he isn't, but this sole incident as some sort of proof is laughable. And the notion that somebody wouldn't want to be known to associate with a friend who made a mistake is far and away the most off-base thing presented in this debate.

A split this weekend drops the Explosion to 9-3 after losing to Chicago and former nbaer Sam Mack on Sunday.

Away against Indy on friday, but back home at the fieldhouse sunday afternoon looking to take a pair from the Drive this weekend.

According to Ushers tweet on limaohio.com, Explosion season is over......no playoffs. Any scoop on this?

[Rocketman]

Out of money?........players?

[white_shadow]

As Jim Mora would say "PLAYOFFS? Dont be talking about PLAYOFFS. You kiddin me, PLAYOFFS?"

No, you're just being stupid.

You had to commit to go to all 3 rounds before the tourney.......Chicago, NYC and Jacksonville...all of the players have other jobs. It was a good first season, 15-6.

Puhleeeease. ............

I was told by a very credible source, a player , that they dont have enough money to go to the playoffs (travel ect.)

Yes....because you have to commit to all 3 rounds and have that money in hand before you can start. Don't people read?

So they can't go because they don't have enough money.....that's the problem. Of course you'd have to have it up front and commit to all 3 rounds. They don't have the cash, so there season is over. Nothing to do with "jobs"....it's all about not having the money to finish a season. Seems simple enough.......and also seems like a lot of folks here tried to tell them before they started that a pro team in Lima, OH isn't financially viable.

Is this the end of the Explosion? Why bother playing the regular season if you give up come playoff time? Since trying to win a championship isn't important, will the owners just give all the players a paticapation trophy?

[TiGgEr3]

Perhaps if more people were less like you guys and supported them they'd have more money to go and pay for all the players travel fees. Stupid community.

[Emerson]

It's not the community. It's the ABA's model to fail.

[TiGgEr3]

It is the community. It's basketball.....either you go and pay to watch good basketball or you don't and you sit home and bitch until it fails then say i told you so like a dbag.....it appears a lot of the posters here are choosing to do the latter.

Good basketball??? Try mediocre at best, you had one player who played any relevant basketball and he is gone. Why would anyone want to waste a couple dollars and a few hours watching a bunch a guys trying to hang on to their D3 careers. I would rather spend it doing something productive like being with my family or doing work around my house. I have nothing wrong with these guys playing, more power to them I bet they have a blast but don't blame the community because they don't support a team filled with players from Indiana Institute of Technology, Indiana Tech, Heidelberg and OSU-Lima. Set realistic expectations and you wouldn't be embarrassed like this by everyone who told you this would happen.
