Why is a YSU cheerleader spaming our boards?

I loved his new routine. It was like he was receiving a pass and just put up a shot, no dribbles. I think the ref got an assist on the one he made.

Don't quit your day job!

They both played.

It looks like things are starting to unravel in Mt Pleasant. Rashid leaves team.....the rest of the story............. It might be similar to what happened with KD.

Ah, an old Suburban League reference (which looks nothing like it did when I was there - think we have maybe five teams left that were in it back then). Green never did much in basketball, but always used to have Hudson's number in football. Actually had a year where Hudson and Green with both 9-0 and ranked 1-2 in the ABJ poll. Then we went to Green and got our butts handed to us. I know more than once Green was chosen by Canton McKinley as their first-round district tournament opponent. Do they still have it that way, where the #1 seed can pick who they want to beat up on? Green had a first round Bye last season. They won the disrict title.

Sold out vs. butts-in-seats are two different things. While it's nice for the University to have those seats sold out every game it looks bad for the program when a third to half of them are sitting empty for the vast majority of the games. Good point Quick. I agree with all you stated. We should reserve the right that any seats in the lower bowl that aren't filled after 10 minutes into the game can be sold by the university to someone else. That way we get the lower bowl filled, bring more pressure to the palying area, project better on TV and give a vitality to the JAR that is sadly lacking. One other thing, all seats in the lower bowl should carry with them a season's supply of blue-gray hair dye and free use of difibulators. Maybe that with get those folks to cheer. Do either of you guys have seats in the lower bowl? Maybe you could step up and buy a couple, then you could give them to whoever you want if you don't use them.

If the Serb follows through with his desire to leave, we would have another scholarship open for next season, right?

Have you listend to Rome lately? All his show consists of is him tweeting a bunch of nonsense to his regular "Peeps".

Got to see Larry Nance Jr. in person last night when Revere HS played at Green HS. http://www.ohio.com/sports/114403424.html I would compare him to Zeke at this point of his career. He has a ton of physical ability, he threw down a fast break dunk that would rival anything I've ever seen in the NBA. But he is still very raw and seems to be content to just watch the action from a distance at some points during the game. He did impress me with his passing ability from the post. He fed team mates for several 3's and open layups when the Bulldogs doubled him down low. I know that he is being courted by several MAC teams and some interest from some larger schools also. Who ever signs him will need to be patient, but I think he can be a really good player. Is there any way he could end up as a Zip?

That works for me. Maybe we can keep Zeke out of foul trouble tonite.

The original CBS Sports story said the donation was "the largest in school history and MAC basketball history." In the basketball scheme of things, I wouldn't say "that's not much." $8 million? @ UA, that might have given the guy Lot 9 parking privileges. Now you know how I scored 2 lot 9 passes last season.

Here is an update on our other HS recruit. Deji Ibitayo Rich Central rebounds from McDipper defeats Olympians survive techs, Stars in OT

Update; Case Dismissed 1/14/11

Yes

Our inability to make the outside shots in the beginning of the game is what killed us. What was our shooting percentage at the end of the first half? Until our shooting guards and small forwards start hitting the wide open shots they were getting, we will struggle. That compounds itself, because the more we struggle on offense the worse we play on defense. It looks to as though we start to take more chances on defense when our shots aren't falling which just made things worse. McNees is killing us with his inability to make a shot. He missed at least 3 wide open lay ups last night. Dambrot needs to shake up the starting lineup so we can get out of the gate better.

This is all interesting stuff; however, I'm not sure what direct ties there are to college football. The only link is a guy who was involved in bribes is also a Auburn booster. That's not unusual as a person who could issue a $180K bribe probably is one of the few people in Alabama who could purchase a casino. There is an interesting logic to conspiracy theorists. If a conspiracy theory is proved wrong, to the conspiracy theorist, the conspiracy only becomes that much great and complex. Sort of like the people who think JFK was shot by the mob or Castro or "others". JFK was shot by a guy out of a building window. This is what I think happened. Cam Newton father probably talked to some parents when his son was at Florida and realized some of them took large sums of money. Some parents drink before games and they all sit together. Loose lips sink ships. The Newtons didn't take any money on his way to Florida or the church is father preached out of in Atlanta wouldn't have been a falling down mess. When his son left Florida to go to JUCO, he realized Cam's rerecruitment to another school could land him a large sum of money to remodel his church. Newton's father actually got to live the old saying, "If I knew then what I know now, I would have..." I think that is where the story ends. I really don't care what posters on a thread have to say about it unless they work for the NCAA, FBI or they are a Federal prosecutor. So you agree that the real reason that the SEC is so good, is that they are all a bunch of cheaters?

Since we have had two NFL'ers since I have followed the team, I don't buy it for an second. Derr & Alcorn. Both recruited to kick in the Rubber Bowl too. Zac was the last reliable kicker we had. His wife Hilary is a former Zips Dance team member. Zac Derr

Who would he be showcasing? Seems like he's the best player on the team. Maybe this guy.

I watched quite a bit of the game last night and even though Nate looked good, I was concerned with how he was being used by the team. With as bad as the Cavs are playing right now and the amount of injuries they sustained, this is Nate's best chance to get a shot in the NBA. On offense it appeared that he was not part of the game plan. He stood around outside of the three point circle while the team tried to work the ball down low to the other big men. No plays were run where he was an option. Most of his points came in transition or after an offensive rebound. The next few weeks will tell us whether the Cavs think he is NBA worthy or he is just someone to fill a spot on the roster of a D-league team in order to showcase some other player. I hope he is having fun.

I sent him an E-mail.

Maybe we should ask him? It would be kind of cool.
